  1. Interesting match-up in week 2 and who would have ever thought of that in this district? Greenfield 1-1 Halls 2-0 Jackets are 2 points from a 2-0 start themselves after a heart-breaker against Lake County in week 0. Tigers started slow last week, but have two 20-plus victories to show for themselves against lessor opponents the first two games. Greenfield lost by only two scores last year and if not for a couple of blunders before halftime the game might have been a different story.
  2. Halls scored on first play from scrimmage and went on to a 12-0 lead before Ripley finally scored. The Tigers from the North defeated the Tigers from the South, 12-8. New coach, new system, new mentality off to a good start!!!
  3. Well my boys bowed out gracefully to Mitchell last Friday, but that doesn't mean I won't keep up with the quad. Who does everybody have this week? Mitchell @ Huntingdon I'll take the Mustangs Peabody @ TCA I really think this is a tossup...I'll go with the upset and take the Tide.
  4. Only at the half, but lil ole Halls hanging with big bad Mitchell.
  5. I wouldn't be surprised if Mitchell sandbagged it the past two weeks...especially last week against a horrific Northside team. Maybe the week before that they may have had to do a little to get past Hillcrest but I guarantee they gave us nothing to look at on film. That said, I think they will be a little surprised to see us differently than what we showed the last two weeks too.
  6. Hillcrest won't be anything to worry about. You guys might think I'm crazy, but if Halls can refrain from turning the ball over multiple times the road Tigers walk away with a W on Friday.
  7. Halls as a AA team...I hate the TSSAA! I like us as a five over four Hillcrest. Not too fond of being a six though.
  8. Ok bigswo, I'll put my two cents worth in just for you Our schedule was light the first half but it allowed us to gain some momentum and confidence. The Lake County game was a farce...we were still in let down mode after getting our first loss the week before in Memphis. We woke up at halftime but our heads were too low the first half to catch up. We held Peabody to TWENTY FIVE yards the first half but trailed at halftime cause they 1) intercepted our first drive and ran back to the nine scoring on four downs and then 2) when we tied it they ran the kick back. We kept their offense off the field but three second half turnovers led to their 20 points. We literally frustrated Humboldt to no end last week. We were there to stop the run and we had their QB running for his life. Why say all that? I dunno...like to see myself type I guess. Lol I know one thing for sure...the same won't happen this year: we checked out when we got off the bus up there last year because the front of the jersey said Union City. We have finally gotten past names on jerseys and just go play. UC probably has more depth and more talent, but we are big and that could be important. But as ur coaches know we are suspect in the passing game: offensively and defensively and I exoect Coach Bowling to exploit those weaknesses. But it will be a lot closer than last year cause we will actually get off the bus this year. Have fun at the game and I pray for no injuries.
  9. Well my morning is shot. I didn't know that about the district runner ups getting the higher seed; makes sense though I wish the tssaa would update the projections page to include that in its seeding instead of a note that says they will make the change at the end of the year.
  10. First off, thanks to Reitz for remembering me. Even though I've been trying to refrain from posting this year, I do read up every week here on the coacht. And you are right, I couldn't be happier. The kids have finally figured out that it doesn't matter what name is on the front of that jersey. They made too many mistakes last week against Peabody, otherwise we may have been talking about two big upsets in a row. Tonight our defense locked down. We had their QB running for his life...sacked him four or five times. We frustrated them and by the time the fourth quarter came around they didn't know what to do next. Our offense was definitely lacking tonight, but we did enough to get the win. Defense has really been our focus point this year and they really clamped down tonight. First win against a ranked team since we won at Peabody when they were #2 in '92. I think six wins gets us in for sure, but instead of a six seed I think we may very well get a four and host a game! We hold the tie breaker over Hillcrest and McKenzie losing last night helps us too. But we will worry about all that later. I'm just proud of those kids, especially the seniors on Senior Night. Good group...they deserve it!
  11. Thanks for the LC update Bigster! Hope you feel better!
  12. Can't believe Halls is now in 2A, but I have to post and mention our QB's stats from week 0. Halls senior QB Cody Young 7 carries 186 yards 3 rushing TDs 1 passing TD on 1 pass Halls 38 Fayette Academy 13
  13. Yep, Pioneers get the nod in this one. Good luck district mates!!!
