I get that you were taking up for your QBs and I dont blame you. I'm not gonna harp on it because there were pages dedicated to something I said that was blown way out of proportion. Im the same, I'm going to take up for Harpeth boys if they've been disrespected (obviousy). I would encourage you not to stoop to their level if you feel that way. I do respect PC and I feel like Harpeth earned their respect as well. Good Luck!

I actually came onto coacht because I wanted to wish PC luck against CPA. I have nothing against CPA, but after playing PC Friday night, I have respect for them and would like to see them win. They played a clean game of hard hitting football and won fair and square. I don't usually scout players from other teams or call them out on here, but the speed on that punt returned for a touchdown was unbelievable. I was impressed with their discipline and felt the coach, the players, the fans in attendance, were all a class act. Now, FIREBIRD80, that being said, it's flat out insulting for you to actually post on here that you knew we couldn't beat you. Even your coach told some of our parents, of which I was one, that we outplayed PC the second half. The 2nd quarter killed us and PC deserved that win, I'm not saying in any way that they didn't. But to disrespect those boys after how hard they played is uncalled for. It's a shame you don't have as much class as the coach of the team and the PC players themselves do. Good luck Pearl Cohn, I hope you guys make it to the big game.

Harpeth didn't come out flat at all. They came out playing hard and haven't stopped for one second. Pearl Cohn is fast and their band is good but they're annoying when you can't hear the announcer. I'm proud of them, they're giving them a fight. No blowout here.

Their band goes to away games? That's impressive these days. I guess I'm old school, I expect the band to be at football games, especially close commutes, but ours never is. I realize it's expensive, but correct me I'm wrong, they get the concession money from the home FOOTBALL games. Sorry, this is unrelated to the thread but its one of my many soapboxes.

I personally like the "son" because I know who you are, ksgovols, and I'm not much older than you, so I'm feeling like a young'un right about now.

Harpeth played their best game against SC. Athleticism is more than just speed and it played a part in their win. They played smart and didn't give up. Both of the instances you mentioned were pretty blatant along with a horse collar and a couple of face masks that weren't called and were obvious. I hate bad or sloppy officiating, gets under my skin faster than anything. The last thing I want to see is some kid getting hurt. Regardless of who he plays for. It's irresponsible to let things like that go, because it just escalates every time it's uncalled.

Give it a rest already

I won't take that bet because we know were in for a fight and if that's true about Coach Brunetti, that says a lot for him , his team and their character and work ethic. I'm looking forward to a great game Friday night with a great crowd cheering for both teams. Having both teams playing close to home in the playoffs will make it an even better atmosphere. Go Harpeth!

Couldn't swear on it, but I don't think he's a player unless he's posting from school, which is possible but not likely.

No I won't deny it. I agree with you that's ridiculous and childish. All of the teams and players have my respect and I've never seen you be disrespectful toward others. I'm dropping it. Both teams had a great year, I'm hoping Harpeths continues past Friday but if it doesn't, I'm proud of them and Ive enjoyed it either way

This is my original post. NOWHERE did I say we lost because we were flat, that was your interpretation. We could have played our best game and gotten beat. I just hate to lose in a game that I feel like they didn't play like ive seen them play week after week. That's all I meant. Cheatham County is a great team, I just hated that we didn't have a great game against them.

Why would i need to look it up for proof? Yes , I brought it up in response to a PC fan who said they had watched out last game film and thought we would be no challenge, it wasn't to rile up CC fans. I just commented that they weren't getting a good representation of how Harpeth plays and they weren't. I don't care how many games Harpeth has won or lost against Cheatham, or who killed what goat or any of that other crap. It's childish to judge the current team based on actions of previous teams. My son has friends at Cheatham and on their team and he thinks this whole board is ridiculous. To be honest, the loss against Cheatham worked in our favor because it fired them up for the next game.

This is the PEARL-COHN vs Harpeth thread, if you want Zto keep beating a dead horse, head over to the Harpeth Cheatham thread, I'm sure there are tons of people wanting to discuss that game over there, it was so monumental and all.

You have issues. You might need to work on that. By the way, I'm a random fan and so are you, just like the one in the stands.

So glad to amuse you. IF we are beaten, I hope we can use the same "excuse" we used when Camden beat us...they played their hearts out and left it all on the field, sometimes a team is just better than you are. Someone has to win. I've taught my son that even in losing, if you did your best, you win. Luckily he hasn't been agonizing over the loss to Cheatham or gloating like a redneck idiot with no life over the win at Sequatchie. Life goes on and these are just memories being made

I'm hoping they're ready. It's going to be a fight! Harpeth will have to play their best game, they have nothing but respect for PC and are well aware this will be their toughest challenge.

You need to re-read what I actually said and my explanation for why I said it before stating that all Harpeth fans are "making excuses". Number one, i speak for myself and myself ONLY. I said that if you base your opinion of Harpeth on the Cheatham game film, it isn't a good representation of our boys and that they played flat against Cheatham..this was in response to a poster that said we would be no challenge. I NEVER at any time said Cheatham didn't deserve their win, they were a better team that night. They are not a better team in my OPINION, and I have every right to it, just a's every other poster on this board. I have watched EVERY game these seniors have played since Junior Pro and I know what they can do. I've seen them rise to the challenge and I've seen them get in their own heads. We have every right to be proud of them and for them, for getting to the second round when most of didn't think they would. I hope they get to the quarter finals but if y'all are right and we get slaughtered by PC, they've still gotten further then previous Harpeth teams and have had a great time doing it. One last thing, and then I'm done talking about this. After watching a team play 9 games, some won and some lost, in a season, and in the 10th game, the spark, the connection, the heart, isn't there for whatever reason, if you want to say Cheathams running game, passing, defense or offense was the difference, go right ahead saying it. As a Harpeth fan I PERSONALLY think they weren't playing like I've seen them play. I used the word flat it's the best word to describe it. We were down by 21 to Camden and came back and tied it up by half time...the team that did that wasn't there that night and if you think Cheatham is better than Camden, you do need your head examined.

Sycamore gets the County Championship banner Regardless, I really didn't mean to start a battle about who was the better Cheatham County team because I honestly don't care. My focus is on Friday night. Our guys are going to have to play the game of their lives to beat PC and advance. Looking forward to a hard fought game from both teams

Spoken like a true Cubs fan. I usually respect what you have to say but well have to agree to disagree here. By your reasoning, the 2011 Creekwood team is better than the 2011 Cubs team. I don't agree with that either. I think Cheatham has a great team this year and that Potts is an amazing athlete. You're right it wasn't even close, because we had an off night, we were flat, whatever. The cubs were better than the Indians that night but they aren't a better team. Nothing you can say will change my mind about that. Every team has an off night and wishes they could replay a game, that's just a fact. That post was aimed at a guy who said he watched the film from our game and based upon that, he thinks PC will kill us. The point I was trying to make was that game film isn't representative of our guys. if you watch the Camden film, you'll see what our guys are made of. They fought and played their hearts out, they didn't win, but they didn't have any regrets after the game because they did their best. It's interesting that you said the 2011 Cubs are better than the 2011 Indians but when referring to your losses to Creekwood and Sycamore, they were better than the Cubs THAT NIGHT.

What a bunch of bull. Harpeth won't go after the best players when they "get down" and they don't start fights. I've been watching these boys since they were 5 and I've never once seen them start something in order to hurt a player, any more than any other team would.

Thanks. I would love to see these seniors get deeper into the playoffs, they're a great bunch of young men.

I think we just have a misunderstanding. I didn't mean that no one had a clue but me AT ALL, just a few people that completely discount a team they know nothing about are clueless. For example, if you watched the film of the Harpeth/Cheatham game and that's all you've seen of Harpeth, your view of the team would be clueless, because they were flat and didn't play like they can play. I don't know anything about Pearl Cohn except what I've read on here. I grew up in Nashville, so my OPINION is they will be a tough opponent. I honestly like that people are making statements like that. Our boys read it and it makes them mad and fires them up.

Reality does suck sometimes, I'm confident that's what Smith County, Sequatchie County, Lexington etc. are thinking right now. The reality is.... This isn't regular season play, it's the playoffs and everyone made it here on their own merit. Do we discount PC because they were a #8 seed? Obviously not. Only a fool counts any team out in playoffs. I do know this, Harpeth will work hard all week to prepare for this game, we'll be there to support them, and win or lose, they will give it all theyve got and leave it all on the field. These boys play with heart, and that should never be discounted. So LOL all you want. I'm a realist too and im not laughing

Its fun to get on here and read posts from people who don't have a clue.

Appreciate the props, wmatlock. I wad proud of the way our guys stayed in it and fought to the end at Camden, I wish we had some of that fight last night at Cheatham. We were flat and Cheatham came to play. Hopefully, a lesson was learned and we'll come out fired up and on our game. They've had a great year and I'm pumped to play a team we've never seen before. Indians vs Indians, gonna be a battle!
