All I really ever wanted to get across was this: You run into a friend, they say "hey your old high school team did pretty good this year went to 3rd round, seen where they fired their coach...whats up with that?" See, it just don't add up. In the beginning all the buzz was that it happened to make room for a previous coach, that ticked me off because its wrong. Now we'll just sit back and wait to see if these guys predictions are correct.

I'm not predicting, just stating facts that will be revealed within the next two weeks. Sit back and watch it has been in the works for several weeks now. I don't know why the Indian Nation has their head in the sand. The change is what is best for the program if we are to compete for championships again.

The days of losing to Sunbright, Coalfield and Oliver Sprinsg are over. Lambo is coming home to clean house. Let's go Indians!

I can't wait to see what TL can do with this team. They shouldn't have a problem in the district and they should make it to the state. I'm stoked.

Its has only been "official" for a couple of weeks now.

Welcome home Lambo!!

It should be a good game.

I guess for the next 3 or 4 months we get to hear how Hampton is going to win the state in basketball now. Hampton needs to play at least 3 good teams in a season. I don't believe they played one until Friday night.

This one played out about like I thought. Hamtpon proved it wasn't a very good team. They would have finished 6th in district 4 this year. Good luck with basketball. Go Indians!!

I was told by someone in the know at OS if Wiley puts in for the Kingston job, even if he doesn't get it he's gone from OS.

That would be a wise move by OS.

What are these teams strengths and weaknesses? Predictions...

OZ strength 25 seniors. Weakness coaching.

Oneida 1992 State Champs. Hampton 2011 2nd place to Happy Valley.

If Coalfield is lucky to get past Lookout then it will end next week against South Pittsburg.

Hampton finally plays a real team this week and their season ends.

Mark it down. You heard it here first. Oneida wins Quadrant #1. I wouldn't want to be Cosby this week.

I'm not gonna talk any trash this year or any year as long as I'm not provolked,but the one thing I will say is, I think this Hampton team will be a bit more determined team than the one we saw last week. Boot camp set in on Saturday. I'll have to say ,this is a good group of kids ,they didn't whine and pout,they came to work with the intentions of getting better. Sometimes you just have to go back to basics.

Sometimes you have to face some real competition. Hampton hasn't faced any all season long and still got beat. They need to go to the basics and learn how to play.

Friday night will be a good night for football in KnoxVegas. It is going to be in the low 50s at kickoff. I been waiting on some of this type of weather. Grace Christian will be a tough challenge for our boys this week, but make no mistake. The pirates are coming.

A little bird that flies around Karns told me that Grace Christian Academy is expecting to run up the score up on South Pitt. They feel they have the best team in the state.

Well I talk Hampton up and look what happens. They get beat by a mediocre team. I knew theey weren't very good and that just proves it.

I have seen both teams and the Indians won't be able to stop the passing attack so I am going tigers by at least 2 Tds

Well who does mighty Coalfield play tonight? Powerhouse Cosby?

It is all about if the kids want it bad enough or not. I am sick of hearing about how good Sunbright's offense is.

I want to make a prediction in Oneida's favor in this game, but as far as I'm concerned its a toss-up on whether or not these Oneida boys show up to play or not. In the event they do show up with heart & their best effort they can win easily, but if they do not they will be beat. The game is up to them, its been hard to watch them give up in the past two games. Us fans want to see them at their full potential, if they can get it together, they will be an unstoppable force, but after the last few weeks thats a big IF

We will get it turned around tonight. Indian Nation is out to skin a few Tigers.

we are the 2 seed and we could rule this quad if we play like we are capable.

How does Oneida get the bye over Oliver springs since OS beat them.. And OS will be ahead of them in district record if sunbright beats Oneida because of head to head game

Because the great coaches down there in OS can't even beat single A teams with 29 seniors.

The 2nd ranked team in the state is taking on a powerful Happy Valley team that has an amzaing 4-4 record and a lot of Division 1 prospects. It could determine the state championship because both teams are that good. Hampton is one of the premier programs in the state and I don't think anybody can beat them this year. They have won many state championships, well they have been to the state chanpionship, I mean they wish they could get to the state championship. I haven't laughed so hard in my life until I typed this.

Looks like your prediction was pretty accurate. Nevermind, you all got destroyed by a single A ball team. Maybe next year

We didn't show up and play either game. what is it to you? You sound like a disgruntled fan of Wartburg or Oakdale. Nothing ever good to cheer for is there?
