    So you appear to be somewhat in the know, who all got an interview that you may be aware of and have all the interviewed rapped up?  I had heard that interviews were through last weekend. Any updates?  

    It looks like that have hired from within. Just waiting on the official announcement.

    So are you indicating that Ol' Sammy boy is in the mix?  I don't know if he would want to deal with a complete rebuild.  Had their two best players not transferred to South Pitt, this job would had been a lot more attractive, because those two are special.  With that being said, Hamilton County probably pays more than those county schools over in the valley so that would be one benefit I guess.  Hixson needs to be more disciplined and from what I know of him, he would certainly change the culture in respect to discipline.  Be curious to see if he is in the mix.  If he is a candidate, he may also be interested in the Marion job since hes from over that way and would be a lot less rebuild for sure. 

    Some other names I could see possibly showing interest would be Carter Cardwell(Former Boyd Head Coach) he may be ready to try his hand at being a Head Coach again, Kraig Campbell(Former Ezell Harding Head Coach) maybe in the same boat and would like another shot now that he is back in the area.  Another name that we haven't heard much about in recent years would be Bill Price, no idea if he would have any desire to get back into coaching but boy could he bring some energy and excitement back to the Hixson community.  Probably every Coordinator looking for their shot at being a head coach has probably applied.  Whose some other names as possibilities?  

    There is a coordinator from Cleveland that interviewed yesterday and a person on staff that interviewed today. Something that could also play into this is that the principal just announced his retirement so there are going to be some admin changes as well. 

  3. Why do you think the coach went for 2 instead of the overtime? After the game I saw (and heard) some very angry and upset Hixson football players who couldn't understand it either.

     

    I think there are a couple valid reason he went for 2. 1st our kicker has missed about 70% of his pat's this year. Although he has improved over this season, I'm not sure I would have went that way either. Second, we have lived on our o-line and run game all year and for the most part, it has worked for us. The bottom line is if we had went for 1 and it was blocked(again), people would have said that was the wrong decision too. Fitzgerald and his staff have made great strides as far as the Hixson program is concerned. I think they have things going in the right direction. I wish them all the luck for the years to come.

  4. There was no lack of sportsmanship. I know the incident you are referring to. Our football team was 35 yards away and being coached while the young was being attended to. If you wanna talk about sportsmanship,fine I will. Your coach didn't even go to the young man and see if he was ok. All he did was stand in the middle of the field and argue with the ref the whole time the young man was being looked at. Maybe our sidelines should have taken a knee but when we didn't your fans were screaming obscenities. It was a hard fought game . Don't let one incident tarnish a great game. You have a good team. Good luck next year

     

    Actually that was not the incident that I was talking about but it is a good example. And our coach did go to our boy and then backed away so that the trainer could tend to him. I apologize if obscenities we yelled, it is not characteristic of all of us. As I am sure several things tonight are not typically characteristic of ND fans. I simply stated that I was disappointed in my only time that I have ever been there. Good luck to your boys.

  5. Thank you TigersVoice! I think the school is taking a Party Bus for the students who are able to come so that will be better than having a ton of cars driving. I will be pulling for you guys in any other game but this one(considering I was born and raised and graduated from Dekalb its the least I can do) icon_e_smile.gif This program has really turned around since I graduated and I am proud of the players, coaches, school and community! Lord knows Dekalb needs something positive in the community! Having said that GO HIXSON WILDCATS! thumb[1].gif

  6. Our THIRD string running back already has two rushing td's this year and our second string running back has broke huge runs everytime we hand him the ball. Like I said when you are up by 40 points at half time then too bad. Wait until after half time to take your starters out it makes perfect sense. I know the game you are talking about. White co. Yeah we passed the ball in the third, but that was an extremely sloppy first half..I mean sloppy. Fumble the ball back and forth and passes that were too high. The qb came back out and got some confidence and worked some kinks out. Especially with SC coming up the next week. I mean come on.. He had 7 td throws and 4 of them were to the same guy. If you can't stop that or figure something out then maybe you should learn how to stop the passing game. Got a running back too. And when we need to use him we do. He had 70 yards on 6 carries against SC. If we wanted to work him, I'm sure we could get big yards out of him. And he is our second string guy. I would just about guarantee DeKalb's second and third string have got more playing time than anyone in the area. You can't blame the score on running it up when the half time scores were 40-0 against warren, clay 36-0 which our second string running back scored on a 67 and 9 yarder after halftime, and then our 3rd string scored on a 40 yarder..No passes after half time and still ended up with 65 points. Cannon was 42-0 at the half and our starters didn't even step foot on the playing field after halftime in that game. White co. was 25-7 at halftime (remember I said extremely sloppy first half) which is why phillips came back out for some of the third and we still got it to 58 in no time (which they then came right out). And of course SC was tied at 13 at halftime. And SC fans were even saying DC hasn't played a full game yet wondering if that would be bad for us, but we owned the second half. Not to mention special teams scores alot. So when you are leading by THAT much at halftime every week I don't think it is a problem with running the score up late in the game.

     

    I never said anything about running the score up late in the game. Someone made the comment that Dekalb has been winning their games by a bigger margin than Hixson and I simply stated that alot of the starters were still in the game late in the 3rd quarter and going into the 4th and that there was several pass plays called. Thats kindof like having a big lead in baseball and still bunting and stealing bases. Having said that Dekalb has a good team and it should be a good matchup on Friday. Hixson has some coaches that came in this year and seem to have the program on the right track and hopefully in the future they will have a strong program.

  7. 2nd or third string have not scored on anything but run plays. We have attempted a few pass plays but none went for big yardage. Sorry that our second string is better than most teams we play.....

     

    Really? at the end of the 3rd quarter against white county there was a pass play for about 25 yards and a touchdown.

  8. Did you Actually watch the films??? The only game our starters played in the forth quarter was against smith co. 2nd and 3rd string has mopped up the 2nd half in the previous 4 games! Do your homework before giving false information.

     

    Here's my homework:

     

    Dekalb vs. White co: Starters - 64,50,52,18,23,80,16,1,43,73,93,9 With 4 mins left in the 3rd quarter and at a score of 44-7 these same boys were still playing

     

    Dekalb vs. Warren co: Starters - 1, 50, 3,45,23,16,73,18 with 3 mins left in the 3rd quarter and a score of 50-0 these same boys were still playing

     

    This was provided by your own film and by the picture timeline on your own Tiger football website so I guess it proves my point.

  9. Did you Actually watch the films??? The only game our starters played in the forth quarter was against smith co. 2nd and 3rd string has mopped up the 2nd half in the previous 4 games! Do your homework before giving false information.

     

    Dont worry....I did my homework. I dont expect people from there to get on here and admit to it. And I dont have anything against Dekalb but I do see being merciful on people that you are beating to a pulp. When the score gets to a certain point it should turn into a run game. Good luck to both teams.
