Since I didn't see the thread anywhere else I will ask you guys. Did I see the score right on Touchdown Friday Night on the HV-Johnson Co. game? 16-7 in favor of HV.

41-19. Close to end of third.

It's @ HV and the halftime score was 34-13, North.

I knew we would find a way to slow down North. Apparently the lights went out. Lol

I haven't been on Coacht for a while. i didn't realize the head hunting was this bad up at HV . What I see is someone blaming the coach , then now, it's the parents fault. I'm a HV parent, so i will take exception to the comments. Over or underparenting exists at all schools, on 0-10 teams and championship ones.i have a hard time keeping up with mine sometimes and trust me I am an actice parent. The only problem I have ever had with Shively is I am not a big fan of the triple option. If it works , it can produce some big numbers. If it don't, it can make a team look bad really fast. HV has some quality athletes, but they are struggling with the offense. The QB plays his heart out , or so it seems. My take is someone has to step up become that go to guy. Shively came back in 2010. I met with him personally. He does have a plan. He came across to me as a strong christian man that wanted to make the players at HV better people as well as better players. I have heard the rumblings too. Some appear to be true. If it was me with the problem, the solution would be simple. Get off the board, go to his office and discuss the problem one on one. Bring in the AD , principal, and vice principals if necessary, Get the issues out in front of everyone and get them address. The problems may not be resolved, but all this "he said, she said" stuff can be silenced.Just my humble opinion.

Not to beat a dead horse, but did anything else happen during that game other than HV winning? Curious about the payback. Other than that, Hv has a sound defense but seems to be left out on the field because of turnovers and a struggling offense. Not sure what they did different in the S. East game. North should win easily. But if they are already counting the W and HV plays inspired ball, it could be closer.

What I am seeing now is that all the sports require year round particpation. My son was told if he didnt come to summer practice, he could not play football. Same thing goes for my daughter in basketball.Kind of hard to schedule vacation in the 2 week dead period in July. My bet is there is more to this from both sides. I bet that simple miscomunication between the players and coach has played a hand in it.

The question I always wanted answered was this. First of season, CD destroyed Unaka. Then , went to Unicoi and got thumped . What happened at Unicoi? did they stop the Montgomery kid?

I think the fact that he is a freshman going into a rivalry game that just happens to be a play off game could have something to do with it. Most freshman don't want to carry a water bottle on the field, much less, the football. I have heard the name brought up with nothing but good things said about his future. I am curious, is he related to the Thomas kid that played QB for betsy 2 years ago?

Surprising maybe, but not a fluke. The seniors on that team had won their whole lives. I was at the game and didnt see Betsy run all over HV. I saw an Hv team that could not move the ball, but also was still trying to figure out how to run triple quadruple option bs. I saw a Betsy team that was blindsided by a "better than expected" Warrior team, that looked like they wanted to win a little more. Great drive at the end saved your day. Wish the HV coaches hadnt dropped into the prevent defense at the end. That could have made the difference. The 6-8 passes dropped by Betsy could have made a difference. Or the personal foul penalties. I guess thats why you play the game. The team that has the most yardage doesnt always win.

I believe that that "no class" comment can hit both ways. Get a group of 14-17 year old kids together and if there is not at least one that gets out of line... I have seen a few instances in basketball, where the betsy crowd gets a little wild. Kids will be kids, as long as we contain it to some name calling, they can grow older and , hopefully , a little wiser.

Stupid stuff can lose ballgames. Glad to see outcome was a little closer. I bet that 12-0 lead had a few B* holes drawed up. Good luck with the rest of the playoffs.

confidence and swagger. Betsy was responsible for Hv's free fall earlier in the season. They just did not look or play the same after the rout. From what I have seen though , If we don't turn the ball over, we are a much better team( up at the half on Sullivan North). The possibility of a trap game does exist. It has been a wild year in high school football. Teams that look like world beaters one week, are humbled the next. Coaches and gameplans are center stage as far as I'm concerned now. How does Austin East keep sneaking in our quadrant?

I don't see the overconfident thing. If HV would have actually beat Betsy last year or any in the last few years, overconfidence could possibly sneak in there. But the cyclones are the top of the food chain, like it or not. I will rewind to last year, when if you were told it would be a 3 point ballgame, you would have laughed the guy off here. The thing I saw was , for the first time that I had saw, Witten seemed a bit under prepared for the ball game. I don't expect that 2 years in a row. HV looks to be comfortable running their offense, unlike last years game. But they are a young team. If Sullivan Central, could tackle, the game would have been closer. If betsy has that problem again, it could cost them. Lotta if-then scenarios as always. I can't remember which paper said it, put it allowed EHS was weak on defense. The way the handled Boone and hung in there with SH, I wonder about the validity of that statement. I hope its a goon ballgame. If EHS comes out fast, it may be over as fast. If they allow HV to stay close all game, then we could be looking at an upset.
