Hey Jbbutler, let me ask you, I'm assuming that since Will threw a no hitter you didn't manage to hit that that fastball without any movement very well, huh? I mean you are part of a state championship team, you should be able to hit that. Maybe that means you aren't going to the next level. I guess after striking out all of your team he figured his 90 mph didn't need any movement. I hope you guys get to face him again so he can go ahead and add a perfect game to his no hitter against the State Champion Ripley Tigers. You guys should have a good season though, just as long as you don't face any guys who throw a 90 mph fastball without any movement. By the way, were you the 12th or 13th strikeout?

Hey, what time is Marshall County playing Saturday? Oh, that's right, they're not playing. They must have had an off night. Let me let you in on a little secret, all champions have a little luck along the way.

Excuse me, I believe "their gold ball and rings" belong to Ridgeway. You have nothing there except defeat from last year. I wish you guys luck, and maybe this year you can get some rings of your own. I'll be at the game Saturday if you wanna see "your" ring from last year.

Hey tsmoke, I don't think that he's lying. Covington has one of the best offseason programs in the state. There are plenty of teams with players running a 4.4 or better. Ridgeway had a couple last year, one being Prince Cameron the running back, and look what he did to Fulton. I'm telling you guys from Fulton, watch out for Covington, they may have lost some games, but they're starting to come together as a team and are going to be very difficult to beat.

Yeah, I think I heard some of that trashtalking last year before the Ridgeway game, and look what happened. You better keep quiet.

I hope Covington wins this one. They had a chance a few years back and Portland took it to them. They play great team ball and have great coaches. This goes to Coach London from Covington: All of those years coaching with Ridgeway and you never got this chance, so get your boys ready. Fulton is good, but just take it to them. Play your game and go take one for West Tennessee.

Uh, excuse me ds 40 I believe you sound pretty stupid. I don't believe that you guys are "clearly" better than us. When we played Melrose, they were "clearly" better than us even though we were missing our starting running back. I just don't think you guys stand a chance.

Listen up ds 40, I'm not taunting just stating facts. I said that HC played a good game, but I just believe that we were better and lost due to an ignorant referee. We did win state last year and until state rolls around this year, we are still state champions whether you like it or not. So you know what, I can talk all the trash I want to until somebody else raises that gold ball, and I can especially talk trash to Hardin County because you guys don't have one. Yes, you guys beat us. And yes, we will be sitting at home. But, if you guys had your season taken away from you after a 75 yard hail mary and an official making a call that is clearly wrong on film, what would you do? Now, if you guys beat Melrose you have a good shot at going all the way, but I just don't believe that your defense has the speed to give Melrose a game. Our running back had 200 yards against you guys, and he is not quite as fast as the Melrose running backs. So, you guys might have a little trouble. Good luck getting that ring buddy.

Oh so I guess Hardin didn't have any penalties missed on them. Look at the numeber of penalties between the two teams and I bet that Ridgeway had twice as many as Hardin. There was one call in particular on 3rd and long for Hardin and a pass interference call was called on Ridgeway when their cornerback was 5 yards ahead of Hardin's and dragged down from behind. It just looked pretty obvious that Ridgeway was getting a screw job and from what I hear the calls were similar the week before against Dyersburg. I'm not saying that Hardin is not a good team and din't play well, but it just seemed like Ridgeway was playing against Hardin and the officials.

Nobody said anything about dominating, we just said that we weren't going to be a pushover.

I'm not saying that Hardin didn't play well, but Ridgeway should have won. And don't even say that our 3A ring doesn't count, because we would have beaten a lot of 4A teams last year. I get so sick of people saying that teams aren't as good as other teams just because of their classification. Last time I checked Brentwood Academy and CBHS weren't in 5A and they would beat the crap out of plenty big schools. The fact is that Ridgeway has two things Hardin County fans don't have, and those are a state ring and some teeth.

Ridgeway had two fumbles that were supposedly laterals, but the only one Ridgeway recovered was called an incomplete pass. I was standing on the sidelines after the game and saw one ref walk off the field with a little smirk on his face. What do you expect players to do after a game that was taken away from them, jump for joy? I promise you that there were plenty of people on The Hardin County side that knew that their team was lucky to win that game. I wish HC could beat Melrose and go on to play in the State Championship so maybe we could sit down and talk about how it feels to raise that gold ball up in the air and get a ring. Ok, let's be honest you guys are going to the Mound this week and if you haven't heard, it's an adventure. So, I would say good luck but it probably won't help. I never thought I would be cheering for Melrose, but come this week I'm gonna do just that. So you boys boys have fun preparing for the speed of the wildcats while I'm shining my ring. Sure, we're not playing for one this year, but I know who the best team really was last night and who should be moving on. Oh, by the way tell your cousin the referee I said Hi.

This might have been one of the worst officiated games I've ever seen. How does a referee from the endzone who is making sure the ball is caught, call a penalty for an illegal man down field. Supposedly the call was that one of the Ridgeway recievers was covered up on the line, therefore making him ineligible. Now why does that ref not make that call at the beginning of the play? Hardin County had a good team, but I believe that Ridgeway would have dominated if not for the stupidity of the officials.

First of all, let me tell all of the Crockett fans to stop talking right now, because you guys did the same talking last year when Crockett was #1 in the state and everyone thought that Artis Pitts was unstoppable. Well, I guess Ridgeway got word of the trashtalking and put an end to it with a 29-0 victory last year. Crockett is a great team and Pratt is an outstanding coach, but all a team really needs to do is play smashmouth football with them. If a team gets a lead, Crockett does not have the offense to come back in a hurry. The double wing works, but not when you are behind in the 4th quarter and need two quick touchdowns. Finally, this post is ridiculous because there is so much football left and so many good teams out there. Ridgeway was ranked #8 in the state going into the playoffs and look where they finished. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN!!!

I heard CPA had a pretty good QB last year, what happened to him?
