Maybe that's what it was and I sure hate to hear that. But he continue to play didn't he?

The whole game. I was at east end zone and I could tell that it was more than just a good hit. It addled him for a minute and he just didn't run off the field like he normally does. He was hurting. Tough kid though, never hear him complain. I was really impressed with #4, #16, #21 (Dawgs) never took plays off. We're kinda partial to Matty though, a nephew of mine married in. Have always loved watching him play.

If I heard correctly that Young was injured in a car wreck today, our prayers are with him. Seems to be a fine young man.

Hadn't heard that. He did have surgery on his neck for that hit he took at start of game on first kick-off.

Fact and you were VERY fortunate. I call it fairly.

Pujo, I have a question and I asked uknowit2 last night. You all have the speed with a couple of your backs to pitch it and hit the edge. Unless I missed something, I saw your tailback come around the corner once or twice. With gains. The pass to the back on the 2pt conversion, didn't see that anymore. HV defense had 11 guys thinking run and it showed. As far as saying Hampton is the better team, not gonna go that far, but they are better in some areas. Your power backs game, especially with Matty and Oaks reminded me of Johnson County of the old days. Smash mouth running it up the gut.

Well, I'd say you know more than the rest of us! Hate the L but my two are well, up and working off their Saturday list of chores. That'll get their minds off the game 

You got some fine young men uknoit. Got to talk to your oldest last night. You, mom, and God did a great job raising those boys.

One of my few close friends for a long time...coached with him for more than a decade. Ex-Marine that wouldn't take crap from any man, but never seen him with attitude toward a kid much less touch one. Something more to the story. But somebody started something instead of just going on.... it'll come to light 

By kickersdad's post, maybe he has insight as to what went down

First, no one got tased or arrested. From what I heard and what I saw, from behind end zone. After the hand shakes were done a Hampton fan was sidelines (a good ways away from the players) and was saying something to HV players, mostly being passionate about the Dawgs. Not sure what was said cause I didnt hear. The part that should have never happened was HV players rushing over there where the man was at. They should have just let it go and went to the middle of the field. The part that i didnt see was someone saying #1 was who the guy had a problem with. He was tossed by the coach because "coach said so". I don't know if he went over there or not but when I turned around the HV players were rushing over there. After all that we had a HV fan ( former parent) standing where I was shouting at Hampton and our QB coach let him know he was part of the problem.  IMO, outta hand on both sides. We got em you got em, always gonna be the story with HV and Dawgs. The gentleman that got escorted out, I don't know him, but he's got some fine kids and it appears to me that some fine people raised them. I was right beside him when they were taking him and he was just upset about being sent out and his boy was just coming off the field and also, he didnt feel like he done anything.  Just MO

He eats all the time, not sure where it goes!

I reckon I've reached the age where the W isn't near as important as leaving the field, walking and knowing your last name!

 

I'm with you uknoit, right here is my world and I've realized that their health and ability is more important than actually doing it!!!  By the way, he says "Hey" to the Dawgs!!!

I'm Going with Happy Valley in this one on Warrior Hill. I didn't have to give this one much thought. I based my decision solely on 1 factor:

Kickersdad isn't near as ugly as uknoit

There's a few in Carter County that may argue that either way! I appreciate the compliment pride, and I don't think uknoit2 is easily offended!

We ALL know what's coming tonight. Question is, can HV stop it for 4 qtrs? HV has a couple stud backs, can we stop the long gains? HV likes that 'throw it high and long and go get it' ball, can we be in position to make a play on it? I look for Happy Valley to try and capitalized on some screen passes &  passes in the flats to catch our backs out of position...Shall be interesting as long as all stay healthy.

Hampton has so many RBs, each with their own different skill set. Can't key on just one or two. HV has still yet to get the running game busted open. We have the backs to do it, just have to approach the Dawgs with respect, yet play with reckless abandon. Sometimes I think both of these teams would rather have a Dawg v. Warrior win than conference title.  Love that kind of rivalry, brings out heart in some that normally don't have it. Good luck tonight, especially to those two "uknoit2 jrs".

Unicoi made it clear last week, at the HV/CD game, that the Hampton boys were a garbage team. No way can a garbage team with a game losing score of 46-6 makes this a game, right? So, I suppose HV is preparing  for the game after ours and we're just trying to get better to keep from the mercy rule come Friday night 

Haven't heard any talk of that from anyone at HV unkoit2....especially from the ones that matter. 

Well, here we are again.  HV may be in for a long night Friday after seeing what Dawgs did to UC. IMO it is going to who has the best bigguns in the trenches and can they play four quarters. Nothing like a Dawg / Warrior scrap, Luv it!

Hmm I say Hampton by three tds. Hampton is too physical for them. 

Good call Reb! HV in for a ball game come Friday night!

Only gave up 84 yards on 32 carries. We threw for over 200 and should throw it more IMO

We would have had a couple more scores in the passing game and on the reverse jet sweep if it hadn't for been CD's #3. Never seen that much closing speed as that kid had. He made a couple TD saving hits on the sideline from out of no where. 

CD's qb (Palazzo) is a threat to throw or run. Watched some of the Knox/CD game. He throws well rolling out right or left.  Seems to hit his targets well while moving. Keeping him in the box will be a chore, I think HV front 8 can do that if they stay focused.  There were times when Knox looked like they had him contained and he would find a hole, tuck it and run. Good feet.  Takes more than just a good qb though. CD showed some signs of light on both sides of the ball in the game. Can't judge them by that game, they're getting ready play at a realistic level and HV might have their hands full.  My pick: 20-17 HV

Only reason I say 21 is both teams are capable of big plays, doubt either team has long sustained drives. Then again ,who knows. Think field position and special teams will be a determining factor. 

Might be low scores tonight pujo. I haven't seen Cland scrimmage yet, have watched a good bit of HV this year.  Aside from 2017 we could have the traditional Lander/Warrior D-battle.  HV's defense has been something to see, surprised me since we lost Cochran, Hyatt, Naylor, and a couple more. I believe Hyder could make a D player out of a butterfly! HV pretty deep at RB and Bahn might have a breakout year, if he does what he has done in scrimmage, could get nasty.  Either way, got friends in the Roan and on the Hill, so stay safe, God speed, and play nastily clean! Go HV!

College life don't compare pal 

I agree, you have no idea (well you might)  how many times I've hit rewind in my mind. Wish I could have them back in 9th grade and do it again.

Ah, man I'm gonna miss that!!!

Not only a loaded team but a team that stays healthy. A loaded team around here means the "load" is always on the filed and none standing on the sidelines....We've had that loaded team a few times and injury grounded us...Seen it happen in season and playoff games

Keep that kicker healthy unknoit2!!!

Gotta love playing at the reservation! 

Its probably posted a few pages back, but when/how did the long snapper take the hit that caused the injury?

You're absolutely right uknoit2. That is one of classiest buncha football fans, players and coaches I've ever had the joy of being around. Not taking anything away from my Dawg buddies, I hold y'all in highest regard but we both know we from the County of Carter and we have some "them people".   

When Cam laying face down, before the PA gentleman even said anything about praying, the side judge walked over took his hat off and prayed for him. I hate the loss but we got beat with CLASS and by a bunch of good Christian people. If football is in Heaven, they practice at Oneida!

Any word on the injured warrior? 

Heard probably a double stinger, head injury or both. Having a little bit of,trouble with full dexterity and vomiting.

I was gonna ask you HV guys has the long snapper had that much trouble this year on snapping punts? Poor punter didn’t even have a chance. 

They guy they took to the hospital was the long snapper. 

A few, mostly to punt. But, we'll be in prayer to see what the future holds. 

Was awesome to meet you Spike! What a great place to play football! Good hard football, great team ans coaches. You have some the best class act fans we've seen. God bless you all ! Gonna,go get ready for the next chapter in the kicker's book of life. 

We're not doing ourselves any favors. We're meeting a tough D right now

Where you at Spike?
