Defense for the dogs has to be much better. The arm tackle never has worked, especially on a quick and fast team like GP. GP moved the ball at will it seemed like a few times. Secondary looked completely lost. 
 

Good experience for the dogs and hopefully will make us better for playoffs. Gp had some studs, good ball team.

If we had stayed healthy, Hampton 2015 would have been the most complete and better all around IMO, for what that's worth.

Let's agree that each of the past greats excelled in areas others didnt. Hard to really pick out one. Era's mean a lot

The offense in 2015 was more versatile. Was able to pass and be shifty, but may not be quite as big/strong inside as 2021 team.

What people don't understand is we are too small of a school and in a location where we are just not going to be a powerhouse every year.  Every group that comes through have different parents and those parents might be raising their boys different.  Alot comes into play when you're fielding a team at the 1a level 

Parents make a big difference in any program. Ive seen many hampton programs have all the talent in the world, but what went on when the kids were off of the field is what made the difference. And what was allowed in the homes of the kids as well… it can make or break a program.

Michael is turning into quite the coach.  Lunsford philosophy is you always give the bigs the most attention in practice.  It's a system that makes Hampton competitive every year.  If you go into the halls and find some big boys and you give those big boys the motivation to do something with themselves then you can field a competitive team every year.  Hampton is like anywhere else, they will run short on skill players but they don't ever run out of linemen.  I tell people at Cloudland that you never want to depend on Hampton being down.  You have to work to match a successful program.  It's not going to be in the near future but down the road our rivalry will get hot again.  We won't find a better care taker than zac.  He's involved all the way down to kindergarten 

And you gotta love it! What Zac is doing with those kids all the way down to kindergarten, they wont forget it, and the parents wont forget it neither. Thats the type of coach that draws kids to play for them, not transfer to another school. Lunsford is the same way.

I see carter county football coming back to the way it was back in 2016 and before. With MOST carter county teams giving each other the best competition they will see.

Dawgs dominated on both sides of the ball. SG had maybe had 1/2 of offense, and 1 solo tackle. 
 

Was sad to see how down the fan base was, even though weather wasn’t pleasant. Weather didn’t matter to fans last year with either team.
