smassaglia

I second that... I saw multiple coaches from Whitehaven come up and personally congratulate #5 on a great game with high fives and hugs and telling him to keep his head up - I appreciate the class of these men and their understanding how hard these guys fought and the emotions they had at the end... Thank you coaches for the respect and class!!!

Seriously, you are going to bring #5 and his hype (drive and love for the game) into your classless blogs? I highly doubt him LOOKING into thw Whitehaven stands after a play was offensive to anyone - if it was, toughen up - it's part of the game. There's not another player out there that has more RESPECT for the game of football... the most disrespect of the night was the announcer being a whitehaven cheerleader instead of an announcer. Only 3 times did he mention an MJ player for a play and all 3 times he couldn't even get the names and numbers right - call that respect and classy? And when the radio says the officials were one sided in the game.. speaks for itself! When a player has his helmet ripped off by the facemask right in front of the ref and no penalty is called - OBVIOUS! That's just to name one... stop the whining and move on... MJ played one heck of a game and those boys deserve RESPECT - they were equally talented - that game was down to the last seconds and could have gone either way.... and EVERYONE knows it! It was not a blow out! FACTS!

Hopkins back is just fine - hate to break the news that you have wrong information, he is at 100% and full speed ahead! Besides, he is not the only one to worry about in our running game! I think both teams are equally talented and it will be a very good / close game!

MJ and Central have both proven to be very good teams this year. As a whole, both teams are equally talented, but each having strengths in different areas. MJ has a running game edge and Central's D is strong. I think this game will be determined by good execution and smart playing. Errors will most likley determine this game! But I think MJ's diversity on offense gives them an edge - who knows what to expect? It will be the most exciting and unpredictable game of the season. Have to say I'll be supporting the Black and Gold.... GO BEARS!!!

Good Luck MJ!
