I wasn't surprised by the outcome at all, and a big congrats to the Commandoes for pulling out the W! When you have a player like Malone, you have to get the ball in his hands. Hollingsworth dropped the ball on this one - literally. And if the "best player in the state" had of been in that situation, you can bet he would have had more than 47 total yards. Sad.

Jalen Hurd got hurt the 3rd play of the first game. Not exactly run in the ground, huh?

I mean, that sounds great and all, but the fact remains Hillsboro beat a Beech team without the #1 player in the state and a top player in the nation. Well, what does that mean? That means most teams would've gotten their ####es stomped if JH had of been playing on both sides of the ball. Everyone saw what he could do at safety and RB, so y'all can say what you want, but you all KNOW that's the truth. Congrats to Hillsboro! I wish them the best of luck. I wish they would have had their crown jewel (Mr. Phillips), but they didn't, and we wish them much success in the weeks ahead!

I am curious about something... If the wins/losses are changed, what does that do to the individual stats of the players? If a team forfeits, do the stats remain or do they disappear? My only concern would be that Josh Malone (who could easily be in the running for Mr. Football this year) could lose a majority of his stats this season. That obviously would be detrimental to his success at winning this award.

http://www.gallatinnews.com/eligibility-questions-arise-at-station-camp-cms-127 There should not be an issue as long as the child moved from the Gallatin school zone into the Station Camp school zone. The word territory means "school zone" unless you're referring to private schools and it means "20 mile radius". If the child still lives in the Gallatin school zone, then there is a problem. My only concern would be if paperwork was submitted to the TSSAA and they messed up, whose fault would it be then?

Hurd only played 13 games too as he sat out (injury) for a couple of games.

Actually, SC played a heck a game against us and it could have easily went either way. Much credit goes to the Bison, and it would have been stated the same even if we would have lost. If we played y'all tomorrow though, we assuredly would get our butts handed to us - badly. Sorry, I just don't get that excited when a 4-4 team who hasn't beaten a good team all year claim some type grand victory over beating a dismantled Beech team.

Credit? You want credit? You beat a run-oriented offense that had absolutely no running backs. No, I call that luck that you were even in that situation. Take away Gurley and Marshall, and you have a team like Missouri beating Georgia. Not because Missouri is a great team, but they were in an advantageous situation. Sorry, WC didn't miraculously become great overnight.

Van Zant has been sidelined due to a concussion. Hopefully, he'll be cleared to resume activity soon. Beechs top 3 RBs were out at the WC game.

Correct. Our starting RB - Carter - went down with a shoulder injury after the first series. Beating a team without their starter and now their backup RB who's now starting is no great feat. Had he have stayed in the game, Beech would have won. Simple as that. Unfortunately, district 9 knows injury all too well this year. I hate it for these young men. I don't know the extent of Carter's injury, but I am really hoping he will be able to come back and finish his senior season. He'll be evaluated tomorrow.

Exciting game. Glad I didn't miss it. Great win, Green Wave!

Sorry, bud you're wrong again, but that should come to no surprise from someone comparing Carter to an All-American. I will enjoy watching him roll over all WC this year though. I vividly remember all the trash you talked after the matchup last year, so it'll be nice to see our Bucs smash ya'll like MJ did.

Saw that on ESPN last night. Epic!

Against Wilson Central last year, Hurd was playing on a leg he could barely walk on. He could not cut back at all and kept running into a brick wall all night. It happens. Especially when you're the only guy on the team that 11 others are trying to kill. Love Carter and hope to see a bright future in front of him, but to compare him to Hurd? Are you serious? He's half the RB that JH is. As for JH at UT, he doesn't dance like Neal and Lane. He hits the hole and explodes, and I bet the house that he starts next year and does very well. And since Carter is supposedly as good as Hurd, he shouldn't have any problems running all over that weak Wilson Central team this year too.

Even as a Beech fan, I very much agree that it was too many carries. There were a couple of games that Hurd took a lot of carries (30+) last year, but nothing close to that number. The problem that I have with it is because there are actually other viable options to run the ball on our team. Hawkins averaged the same ypc as Carter and to not use Van Zant at all makes no sense to me. Ok, he was out for a few days this past week due to a death. He was still there Friday night and the offensive scheme is the same it's been all season. I doubt that will happen again though. At least I hope that it doesn't.
