Devilsden - positions were changed this year and it didn't help. It doesn't help to change positions when Julian is the one calling the plays on both sides of the ball. There are kids in the halls of Halls that should be playing football and that would help. Halls had two players that gave all they had this year. Maybe some of the younger classmen should have helped in stepping up. Brady Brown did all he could. Yes, he had his own mistakes but so did the games #12 had a lot on him due to #7 getting a pretty bad injury in the first quarter of Campbell County game. That put him out pretty much the whole CC game and not many plays for Central. I think if he had been his full self, those games would have been a different outcome. #12 had a lot on his shoulders those two games due to he was all there was those two games. Was nice to see him run in his final touchdown on last few seconds of Central game. He deserved it. Those two boys have been an inspiration to a lot of the kids on this team and will definitely be missed. Although Central beat Halls, just wasn't that impressed with them. Didn't see anything impressive from the Blank kid either. Noticed 25 outplayed him quite a bit. Guess its a wait and see game for Halls from here. Hoping things change or more kids are going elsewhere.

Well. Any comments on Fridays game last week?

One comment to osunut. Not sure if you are from the Halls area or not, but I see a lot of times you are quick to say Halls has "no talent" even in your blog. I will agree with another post (don't remember if it was you or someone else, think it was divercity) where some of the kids from Halls in the years past have deflected to other schools, which is true and we have lost "some" talent. I am just curious to know if you actually know the group of athletes that have come up through Halls. If you did or do, I would imagine you would not be so quick to throw in the "no talent". Still got to start with coaches. Zoom33. Those are the two boys I was referring to. That #7 is an awesome athlete and a leader that the younger players to look up to, just a good kid on an off the field. I heard about him through the years that he was a kid to watch for when he got to HS and boy has he ever. I have only had the pleasure of watching him more so through his middle to high school years and I tell you what, he is a force to be reckoned with. He isn't getting much opportunity this year to get an open hole, if his line would open up for him it would be all the difference in the world cause when that kids lets loose he is gone. He is a good athlete on both sides of the ball, I sure wouldn't want to see him coming at me. Watched from the fence at OR and that kid scored 20 of the 21 at OR. #12 has really come along as well. He is not like most QB, not afraid to take or give a hit on either side of the ball either. He's like a silent giant. When he can't get the ball off to #7 he drives the yardage himself. Most QB dont want to be hit but he is probably one of the stronger QB I have ever seen play. The combination of #7 & #12 is something to watch, its like they work for each other but I guess that they have played together so long they know what the other is going to do. Wish both those boys and the rest of our guys best of luck in the next three games. Lets bring home some wins men!

Well, can't quite agree with you on this one. Halls seems to have a couple seniors who are good kids all around that have been great leaders for the team this year and from what I understand the younger classmen really look up to. This is something they really didn't have at all last year and really needed. Gotta start with the coaching. Hopefully Halls can pull out the last three games.

Karns played a heck of a game Friday night against Halls. Karns was definitely prepared. Best of luck to you guys in the rest of the season.

Presby28 - your right, the kids are uninspired. They tend to get knocked down when they are completely down and lack in receiving motivation. Its a sad thing to watch the spirits broke down in these boys not by their record but by the one running the program.

Although Zach is a good kid and I think a lot of him and loved watching him run, that is not the problem with Halls. Halls has had a great running back the last few years as well as when Zach was there. He is a senior kid, but by now the coaches know where to key in and he can't seem to make any ground on some games. If Halls had a little more aggression on the line and give a little blocking, that kid would be gone every play.

?

Is this a positive thing devilsden? Calling both sides or not, he still lacks the knowledge of motivating his team instead of degrading them.

Whats the thoughts for this week on Halls and Karns?

Well that no talent sure played a good game against you guys last week. Actually was up for quite a while. Then we had the normal third and fourth quarter where our "coaches" don't know how to change the game plan. Your not from Halls therefore you cannot say Halls has no talent. Those of us here know the athletes and know what goes on here and it sure isn't because of lack of athletes. But thanks for your opinion. Good luck to you guys in the upcoming week and the rest of the season. Hope your team goes far and best of luck to the players.

If they actually adjusted that would make sense.

Halls has been playing very well the first half of each of their games. They had a heck of a game at OR! I have a question for those out there - how many of the coaches do you see during half time (especially when your team is down) not "coach" their team but stand around with the other coaches? Just an observation of Julian and am curious.

What is the opinion of the game this week.
