I asked the question to the sports editor of the news examiner how he could justify the teams..... Answer, to quote Cecil Joyce " The teams are not made up of the best players in the county.... They are made up from the best players from each team and each team gets representation." Hendersonville and JPII would take up all of first team and second team with the exceptions of Austin White and Kuhn. It is still ridiculous that Grant Wood did not make a team when he should have been first team.... Ryan Maynard could have been a candidate for defensive player of the year and only made second team. With TJ being player of the year (rightfully so) Chris Mann should have and is Defensive Player of the Year. Everyone, you must take these teams with a grain of salt.

Popefan do not start this crap... Bearden has won multiple state champs and a national title. We cant even get out of our region.... It was a scrimmage with lots of kids playing....

JPII - 1 Knox Catholic - 0 JPII - 1 Bearden - 1 JPII - 2 Centenial - 0 (40 minute scrimmage) JPII - 2 Tullahoma - 0 (40 minute Scrimmage)

T.J. Brown (Hendersonville) has signed with Belmont. He had offers from Memphis, Xavier, and Dayton that I know of.

chuffy --- please keep us updated on his condition... It looks as if his season may be over and that is a shame... maybe he can come back before tournement

Was watching scrimmage - JPII V. McCaullie and saw #20 for McCaullie go down with what appears to be a severely broken ankle. If anyone has an update on this young man, it would be greatly appreciated as we are all very concerned about his condition. The injury shook up players on both sides. Keep this young man in your prayers as I suspect he has a long recovery ahead of him.

Charley Weiss in Hendersonville today for Golden's verbal to Notre Dame. Congratulations to Golden. The JPII faithful are proud of you and the hard academic work you have put in to get this opportunity. Congratulations again

Rigger... No excuses for the loss... Webb came ready to play and their offense was sharp.. Did JPII miss Courtney... Well he was the nose guard on D and the leading tackler going into the game... Webb controlled the line of scrimmage when JPII was on D. It sure didn't help the situation that he was gone. I sure would have rather had him but with the situation the way it was... we played the game and it was a great game

Hey doubledrip, as crazy as it may sound, the previous statement does make sense. Webb did as they well pleased in the first half. They ran all over the knights defense on every play. They had long sustained drives that took lots of time off of the clock. I do not think they punted in the first half...maybe once. They had a commanding lead going into half. After halftime, Webb had one drive that amounted to a score. The Knights defense forced four second half punts. Then , of course, Blake Bealer took the ball to the house on a second or third play of a series. So, yeah, compared to the first half, JPII slowed them down considerably.

For all of the Golden haters out there, ACT score is in... I will not list his score, he can if he wishes to, however it is an excellent score and qualifies him for Notre Dame or Vanderbilt... Golden cleares the clearinghouse with flying colors.. Congratulations son, this definately shuts up the haters out there who wanted to see you faulter. Outstanding job

Well Knightime--- I guess Coach Brothers doesn't know what he is doing either because he has kept Coach Cook around for five years. Seems like maybe you ought to take over since you are so educated in the ways of K-State and the 5-3. It sure is easy to sit in the stands and be the perfect coach isn't it. You take a guy who gets paid very little, (Coach Cook does it for the love of the game and the kids... definately not for financial reasons) and because you do not approve of his coaching style... he must go. Yeah, maybe he did praise my son, not because he was good...no... because my son tried very hard and that was all that Coach Cook asked of him, to have a little bit of heart.

Great football game... By the time it was over, I felt like I had played the game. The Knights seniors, to a man, left it all on the field. What impressed me about the Webb team was the conditioning of their players. The majority played both offense and defense. I felt like they were starting to tire at the end, however, they gutted out that last JPII possession and stopped the Knights. Golden did put on a show. Number 1 from Webb put on quite the show as well. Not only did he play outstanding quarterback, handling the ball without error and making beautiful cuts against the flow of the defense, he made the biggest defensive paly of the night by stopping Golden on the two point conversion attempt. Great game and good luck to Webb on Saturday

Regarding Coach Jason Cook.... Knight time--- I do not know if you have ever actually played for Coach Cook but I can tell you with 100% assurance that you are dead wrong about Coach Cook. My son is a former football player and wrestler. I can tell you that yes he does yell. He yells alot... But Jason Cook shows those kids more love and actually instructs them a heck of alot more than most High School coaches do. If you were to actually watch... he will yell at a kid then coach him up then either slap him on his helmut or butt with tremendous encouragement. Coach Cook is my favorite coach at JPII and I am sorry that people such as yourself have the wrong opinion of him. Pay attention to more than the initial yelling. Having said that.... Coach Cook is the D- coordinator... he may coach linemen as well but I do not think so. The JPII defense started eight seniors for most of the year and they were reaaly weak for seven of the eleven games. Time for a scheme change.

Where are you ole dad... With your three touchdown victory prediction.... The only problem is that I totally agreed with your prediction... I am neither Ryan or MBA but have seen both teams several times... I really felt that Ryan would man handle MBA... Congrats Big Red... this is a huge season saving win

How much fun is this.... Four pretty good teams vying for three spots.... I hate to make the following prediction , but I must.... Father Ryan 2 MBA 1 BGA 3 JPII 1 BGA 3 FRHS 0 MBA 2 JPII 0 Even though I believe skill wise JPII is probably the second best team... I think they are a little bit physically weak. I think BGA is the best team... MBA is the most determined and have several really great players. Father Ryan is the fourth most skilled team... They just refuse to let others push them around. They are very strong physically. This will be a great Final Four... Good Luck to all... PS Saw Christian Brothers and MUS.... The Brothers will definately be difficult to beat. They are fast and skilled. Midfielders fly up and down the field and never get tired. MUS is very good, they can be beaten. Of course they can beat you as well... This is why we play the games... Anything can happen on any given night
