Going into this game I was a little uncertain about the outcome. Being an '09 alumni of McKenzie I knew how important this game was for the school as well as the town. Winning this game would be 5 straight wins for McKenzie over Huntingdon, 3 straight at Paul Ward Stadium. Coach Comer and crew were prepared for this match-up. For the past two weeks everyone has asked me, "What is do you think about this game?" and all I could say was, "Get your popcorn ready!!!"
McKenzie needs class? A couple of years ago I remember a certain Huntingdon individual at a Babe Ruth Huntingdon/McKenzie game,(sure it's baseball but it's Htown/Mactown), that told all the McKenzie fans in the stands that they were trash and needed to go home to their trailers. And the Huntingdon coach was the one that said this. Now was there any class or sportsmanship in this? I didn't see any.
Now it's McKenzie and Huntingdon, the cross-the-creek rivalry, it's going to get intense and crazy, especailly when it comes to football but there's no sense in that what so ever. Swenson just didn't have a good enough game plan going into this shootout. Huntingdon didn't look too bad but still had many errors. #18 and #11 were two great players. They ran the ball hard and did a little damage. Max Arnold's air game just picked the Huntingdon defense one by one.
Now as for McKenzie people doing stuff over with yall's statue, I don't know. I didn't wait long enough to see any of that going on. There will always be people that are like that on both sides during this game. But overall McKenzie fan are loyal and not winers. Huntingdon fans are much the same too. But McKenzie did dominate this game. After two straight possessions with the outcome being fumbles, Huntingdon didn't have much of a chance.
For us being so-called unsportsmanlike, who even thought of that? Now I understand that in a rivalry game usually both teams want to run the score up because well it's your rival. Coach Comer could've easily ran the score up by scoring another touchdown or even a field goal but he didn't. Instead he took a knee. Yeah that was unsportsmanlike. But everyone is intitled to their opinion but as for this so-called unsportsmanlike and class, Sounds like Huntingdon needs a little of some of the both.
