Yeah, I’m sure it didn’t help the player that was down to hear the “support” from his own crowd. You could clearly hear some of them yelling at #17 specifically. Funny thing is it seems to be one guy that yells then others just repeat, pretty sure that guy has had a kid or step kid playing for Huntingdon for the last 20 years and he’s always the loudest and most obnoxious person in the stands, regardless of the sport.

40-20 Westview….UC hahahahahahaha

Sure is quiet over there, any updates?

Not trying to be funny, just think it’s a reach to say one player was all the team had. A little research shows that there are at least 5 players from that team last year who are playing college football this Fall, not counting Simpson. They were talented all over the field. After looking at their schedule I think Dresden, Peabody, Fairview, UC, and Huntingdon will be tough games for them. Southside should be much improved too. 7-3 sounds close but not just because the QB graduated.

Yeah, It was amazing watching him throw the ball, catch the ball, block for himself, punt, kick off, kick extra points, play defense and I assume he coached himself also. Good thin they didn't line up 11, they would have beat Hampton by 100.

This has happened 2 times in Weakley County in the past 3 years. Talk about putting a team and administration in a bad spot. For two weeks they thought they had their guy just for him to jump ship and they have to start a new search. You have to wonder if any others were passed up for this job that had to be contacted again. "We didn't want you before but we really like you now". I'm not too sure I would be too interested in a job that I was the 2nd choice a coup of weeks ago. Does this hurt Rice's future opportunities at a head coaching job? Coaches preach commitment and team all of the time but it doesn't always seem like it applies to them.

Word is the Jackets only had 20 players before the coach left and it seems the quarterback left also. No word on coaching hire when all other teams are into summer workouts. It would have been tough if they hired someone a month ago and gets exponentially harder every day they don't have a coach. Is there a legitimate chance they don't even play football in Greenfield this year?

What a whiney little baby! Because someone has a different opinion than you then he must be drunk? Typical "chat room bully" that can't stand a different point of view.

You have to think that the Milan faithful who actually have a vested financial and emotional interest in Bulldog football didn't like the fact that kids came to Milan ONLY to play football, regardless of how they got there or if it was within the rules, and didn't produce a coveted state championship. Those transfer kids and their "families" didn't contribute financially, emotionally, or otherwise to Milan football in the long run outside the field of play. You see it with the private schools, when the people actually paying the bills realize the scholarship kids are taking way more than they are giving, things start going South for coaches, administration, and fans. Add losing a bunch of games to the mix, I know it was all injuries that caused that, and the wheels fall off at a rapid pace. I wouldn't know the coach or hardly anybody in Milan if they slapped me but I would be willing to bet that when the "handler" approached whoever they did about the kids coming to Milan, they all probably wish they had told them to head on down the road to SG or WV. Diffee would probably still be gainfully employed and the team would have won just as many games. I do appreciate BPM's passion, love for the program, and career choice as an educator so understand these are personal opinions stated above so be nice.

I really thought Hampton would stick with the game plan and not panic when they got down a couple of scores but they didn’t. Just like several other teams did this year like Huntingdon, Fairley, and MAHS. Westview just had way too many athletes in the secondary to throw lazy deep balls. The defensive backs were basically their receivers and they proved all year that they can go catch a ball. #12 and #17 specifically were huge on both sides of the ball. Martin’s radio station said before the game that the turnover for the year ratio was -32 with 25 interceptions for the year. You win a bunch of games when you win the turnover battle.

Great game played by both teams. It all came down to who got a stop, just so happened that Westview got a stop before the half and got the ball first in the 2nd, kinda over after a quick score and another stop. I too was impressed with Anderson, I really don’t think he ever came off the field, offense, defense, returned punts and kickoffs. Martin’s radio station said he was the 1st 1000 yard receiver for a year ever at Westview and that he was in 10th place all time in Tennessee for receiving TDs in a season with 18. Good luck to them next weekend, may have to sign up for the NFHS racket to watch that one.

What options does the concession stand have?? Good food? I would just assume give my money to the school and team if I can get a belly full there.

Are there bleachers on both sides of the stadium? I thought about making the trip, I looked at an aerial view and it doesn’t look like there are. Just wondering.

I just don’t see Lake county being that much better than McKenzie. I’ve seen them both and McKenzie. McKenzie gets the win in this one, Peabody has been playing uninspired since the kickoff against Huntingdon, or before but the lack of competition in their region didn’t reveal the lackluster performance.
