DAFAN

JCHS 20 Karns 7 Special teams wins this game. I don't expect this to be a fun game to watch, but we will see. I hope the ref's bring their A game tonight.

I thought the fake on side kick was BUSH LEAGUE!

Agree with alot of you said, however, at home, historically, were pretty tough to beat at home in a close game.

My predicition would change if DB can only score 17 on the young Pat defense. DB will have a long trip home if they only score 17. We are young, but we are very tough. In a close game at home, Pats win by a field goal.

If we give up 350 yards, we are in big trouble. Especially if Art knows what he's talking about when he says DB has a very good defense, the Pats are in for a long night. I make my prediction with a heavy heart. I would rather beat DB than anyone else including MO West. DB 31 JC 10 I really hope I'm wrong. GO PATS! Smoot were's the D? U keep it going on O? What happened to the old post?

You make some good points as well. A couple of good players on each side made some plays. The ref were bad, excuse me, HORRIBLE, for both East & JC. Which shouldn't be a big suprise, the refs have been bad for the last couple of years, you pick the sport, basketball, baseball and football. Evidently, anyone with a striped shirt will be given a whistle. I really like the way U is mixing it up on offense. I like the kicking game changes. Don't really understand not kicking the field goal at the end of the 1st half. This isn't a monday morning qb, everyone in the stands around me wanted to kick the field goal. U needs to realize what a weapon he has in our kicker. I thought after the West game he had picked up on that. Anyone getting on Cagle's case don't know him. He's a great guy and JCHS is lucky to have him in any capacity. We need more "Cagle types" at JCHS.

And your prediction was? Please give us the post # that you made that prediction. Congratulations to the Pats. Same as last week, great offensive game plan. Good offensive line execution. Liked the kick-off game last night. I wonder why? Defense still struggling, we can't give up over 100 yards rushing in the first half and expect to win alot of games. Not to be a buzz kill, but take out the long pass and kick-off going out of bounds on the 2 and we have a completely different game. I don't think CC would have been going for it on fourth down had they not been behind by 14. Also, we had way too many penalties last night. Before you start, I know the ref's were horrible. However, that needs to be addressed.

The game will be decided on how well the JC D recovers from last week. Hopefully, we have made adjustments. If we give up 24 or more points, we will lose. JC 20 ( 2 field goals- we have a real weapon) CC 28 Hope I'm wrong

Yes, Shivy would have a lot more yards. I agree completely with you statement that "mixing it up" will provide more opportunities for whoever is carrying the ball. I was really impressed with the play calling last week, however, Shivy didn't have that luxury last year. What happened on the defense? I know we lost alot of last years starters and that our defense is young. I know the West offense is strong but we seemed out of place all night. I was Smoot's biggest fan last year. We looked unprepared and unmotivated. Is Smoot still in charge of the defense? Maybe he can put it together for CC, we will have fresh film.

Positives and negatives for the young pats Positives 1) We found our QB last night in Long 2) Mcfall can take a hit and come back 3) Outstanding field goal kicker 4) Outstanding offensive game plan- Great play calling! Hats off coach! Negatives 1) 0-2 on onside kicks- I was against the onside kicks last year (read previous posts) our defense is struggling way too much to give up 30 yards on the kick offs. 2) We lost containment all night long on defense. 3) Our defense looked unprepared, in general. Is West really that good? Was West's offense good or was our defense bad? Was West defense really bad or was our offense that good. Someone earlier was talking about how good the West linebackers played, I don't think so. In fact, the West LB's dropped three pics and had a huge personel foul.

Smoots defense gives up only one 1st half TD. Motown West 35 JC 7 Hope I'm wrong.

Good deal any word on class breakdown?

Any word on how many is on the team? Seniors? Juniors? Soph? Fresh?

JC, the Cagle brothers? Did you ever see those guys play? All good guys, but not on this list. Collins brothers 2 all staters, 2 all americans Jennings brothers & nephew 3 all staters Quarles bothers 2 all staters ( I think) Harrell brothers (both should have been all staters) maybe most "productive" brothers in JCHS history. They WERE the team for a couple of years. Had they been on one great teams, they would have been all americans.

Does anyone remember the Cofer brothers from the old Rule High in the 80's? The oldest went to UT then to the Detroit Lions, the one they called Boone went to Clemson then CNC, the youngest went to UT. All very good linebackers. What about the Mckenzie brothers from AE. Both went to UT, both went pro.

Good luck to Shivy! He will help you guys alot. In my humble opinion, he's the best back to ever play at JCHS. That's saying alot, we have had some good ones over the years, ie Jeff Jennings (vanderbilt) Ricky Upton (penn st). I would guess that JC has had between 5 & 8 1st team all state running backs, by far Shivy was the best. He's small, but opposing players have commented that it's like tackleing air. GOOD LUCK TO THE TORNADOES! I'll be following you guys this year.

I totally agree. I am behind the team 100%. I intend to be at every game supporting our team.

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH

First of all, I'm not your son. I know this because my dad was a real man. Not the kind that sends letters to principles. Second, You are right, I'm the kind of man that checks the box without reading the specifics. Third, I didn't say that you couldn't express your opinion, I said 'YOUR OPINION DIDN'T MEAN JACK TO ME". Fourth, I do pay taxes in this county. Guess what, "YOUR OPINION STILL DON'T MEAN JACK TO ME". Your defending a coach who has placed his goals ahead of the teams. If he cared anything about these boys he would have encouraged them to stay. The kids who are quitting are not kids who are troubled, they are good kids.

A question for 2priceless & Olandpats, do either of you pay property tax or vote in this county? That's what I thought. Therefore, as a taxpaying voter in JEFFERSON COUNTY, your opinion don't mean JACK to me. JC4life is like the rest of us JEFFERSON COUNTY CITIZENS, he wants the best for the JEFFERSON COUNTY kids and the JEFFERSON COUNTY football program. JEFFERSON COUNTY football is about the JEFFERSON COUNTY kids, not coachu. I'm not saying he should go, but we do have a problem that needs to be corrected ASAP. Maybe the administration should investigate what's going on, requireing U to fix this problem. While were at it 2priceless, who made you our resident hall monitor? That was real cool you calling in the CoachT folks. If you find the JEFFERSON COUNTY thread to harsh or offensive, I suggest that you not read it.

Your Science Hill buddies are the people who told me how inconsistant Duran is. Would the SH people lie? I think not.

pull out the measuring tape........................

Your welcome big cheif. The DB stories are getting a little out of hand. 90+ fastball, please. I think you guys are a good team. I have seen Lockwood pitch and he is way out of Durans league. I don't know about Larsen. While dolling out useless info, here's another tidbit of info. HALLS WINS IN A BLOW OUT! 10-1 Duran is his usual inconsistant self. He gives up 4 runs in the 1st!

I saw Duran pitch against JC, he was as advertised. I heard how great of football player he was and after watching him play was not impressed. The 6-3 part, I got pretty close to him, I would think around 6-0 to 6-1. Against JC he may of had a few balls around 85 to 86. His fastball is by no means his best pitch, look out for his curve ball. It's real good.

ScoutOne4U couldn't scout for me. You must be a tennis scout. Yes he didn't hit well, but I thought he had a heck of a good game behind the dish. What did he do wrong behind the plate. Only one of SEVERAL wild pitches got by him. As for calling pitches, that's left up to the coaches. By the way, I haven't understood the pitch sequences all year for any of the pitchers. It appears to me that Paris worked our pitchers to death.
