I have heard Huntingdon and Milan have agreed to play on Week 7.

I know what is wrong with these Makenzy folks. They have the little brother syndrome. You know, where they can never live up to the accomplishments of the big brother and are always looking for ways to get the big brother's approval and draw attention to themselves. I believe if they could find something of their own they might stop all this foolishness. Why would people from Makenzy want to take their picture with Huntingdon's mascot? Why would they want to hang a banner on Huntingdon's field trying to claim it as Redbell field? Why would they want to try and ring Huntingdon's victory bell? Why would they want to waste time in Huntingdon, driving around town after a win, when they could go home and celebrate? I think I know the reason. First, Makenzy has no tradition of their own. Can anybody from Huntingdon name just one tradition at Makenzy ?? Why else would they want to embrace all of Huntingdon's traditions? Second, they don't even have their own field. They play at the Makenzy Primary School. Why don't some of you wealthy, Makenzy flea market folks build your own field out there by that new big school y'all got and give those little kiddies over there, their recess playground back? Third, let's talk about that mascot you use. On second thought, we better not. We all know the story behind that outdated, insensitive figure, don't we? Fourth, what in the world is that catchy little tune you use as a "fight" song. It sounds a little familiar. Is it....no, it can't be....is it Rocky Top?? How original!!! So it seems to be pretty clear. Makenzy has nothing that they can call their own! No Tradition, No Field, No Mascot, No Song. No wonder they want to steal all of Huntingdon's ! Finally, And I really hope this is not true, but I hear a rumor that now Makenzy may even be trying to imitate a college out on the west coast. You know, the one with the initials USC. hmmmmm.....

I would say that you have a very good understanding of the situation that Huntingdon is facing. Old rivalries and Tradition are good things, but let's be honest. The main goal is to reach the playoffs and win the state championship in your class. If playing 6 teams, above your playoff class (which HHS does now), keeps you from even making the playoffs, then it might be time to reconsider playing such a tough schedule. But since this is now,and the scheduling is the future, then let's just use that Great Tradition as an advantage and see what happens tonight. Go Mustangs!!

They probably better do it this year then, 'cause it may be the last chance they will have for a while. It's no secret that Huntingdon will be looking to "downsize" the schedule for the next two years. With the enrollment continuing to decline every year and with the playoff system as it is, it is highly unlikely that Dyer Co, Milan, Westview, and Camden will all be on the Mustang's schedule next year. I really don't see them dropping Milan, but two of the other three will more than likely be gone. Which ones, I don't know. I would guess Dyer Co and one of the other two. And before anyone throws in the "gate money" argument, that will not be the only factor considered.
