HHS Stang Fever

No committment for awhile. He's going to take official visits at Notre Dame and Tennessee. Could be after the 2006 season ends in December. More focus now on the current Mustang season. MUSTANG PRIDE

When the O line was doing well, the stangs did well. Both 1st O & D will look at films, learn from their mistakes, build upon the good things, add a few more wrinkles to the game plans, and go visit Obion County this coming Friday. The potential for this year are very good, but as Coach Pritchard quotes, "Potential means you haven't done anything yet." Many of us are looking forward to what the 2006 Mustangs will do this year. MUSTANG PRIDE

We will live or die by the lines, O & D. If they are on like they can be HHS will be hard to handle. I hope the opposing teams try to use 10 players against Chris to block him or 11 to tackle him. Yes, we have a nuclear weapon in our WMD arsenal, but we've got several others to choose from as well. We should have excellent speed in the DBs again this year. MR. MUSTANG, you been to practice yet? MUSTANG PRIDE

His dad is going with him to visit South Bend in the next couple of weeks. He was in Knoxville this past weekend for a visit. We are hoping for an announcement before two a days start. It is now less than eight weeks before the Huntingdon Quarterback Club Jamboree kicks off. Hard to believe it will be his last. Go Stangs

We need Milan listed for the Region to be complete, can't forget the fellows in purple.

UT of course, Ole Miss, Miss State, Stanford and Michigan are some of the recent visitors to their newest best friend coach Mansfield prior to school getting out. Notre Dame offered a scholarship already. Fulmer has made a couple of recent visits just to check and make sure Mike is feeling ok. It is just wonderful how concerned everyone has been to make sure their friendships were secure. One rumor has that the Irish Defensive Coordinator has said Chris is the best in all of the states he recruits. Go Stangs

I think it comes out in the coming Sunday edition. What a Christmas present.

Fulmer and Trooper Taylor flew in Monday morning and flew out after lunch. Austin Peay was there as well. Fulmer got the most attention and request for pictures. He never spoke to Chris but they talked with Coach Mansfield for a long time. Reports are Fulmer was very personable and very open with everyone that spoke to him. Very much like he was back before and during the time of the National Championship. I'm intrigued that Taylor was present and that they are considering him as a running back. I've liked his look and abilities as a linebacker or if he grows more a defensive end. But, you know, next year we may see just how good he could be as a full time running back in our backfield with a very seasoned offensive line. MUSTANG PRIDE

Congratulations to Boo. The Huntingdon fans are so proud of you not only for your work on the field but also how you have carried yourself off the field. I look forward to watching your maturity continue. And congratulations to Mom and Dad also. They are the main reason Boo is who he is.

Goodpasture appears to be one tough team. I looked through through the Tennessean records and saw where they are a strong running team. If we leave their offense on the field too long it could be a painful experience. They will eat the clock up. The Mustang front four are going to have to stand their ground and go heel depth and clog the middle up. The linebackers can cover the top and the sides. It would be enjoyable to force a running team to try to pass against our DB's. Which side do you throw to? Left, right, or middle? I do think a four quarter game is ahead of the Mustangs. The Cougars have scored quite a bit in the fourth quarter against other teams. You know this is just the kind of game the Mustangs really love to play. I can already hear Mr. Mustang hollaring "pound 'em." Remember, always remember, WE WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE IN MUSTANG PRIDE

Probably can't get tickets in until Wednesday. We didn't have tickets available for the Carver game until Thursday. School being out for Thanksgiving prevents the availability more than likely. Just another reason to get to Madison early for a short ticket line and a good seat. MUSTANG PRIDE WE WILL ALWAYS BELIEVE

Good luck to the Union City Tornadoes against JB. Represent West TN well. Folks from Huntingdon are behind you. We've knocked heads many times in the past. MUSTANG PRIDE

Mr. V, always remember that your photography is much appreciated by many. I expect to see you on the sidelines in Madison taking more pictures to fill up our hard drives at home.

We Will Always Believe MUSTANG PRIDE

It doesn't matter whether you live in Bagdad, Cairo, NYC, LA, Memphis, Nashville, Jackson and yes, Huntingdon. There are going to be bad people that live in these places that do bad things. We can either cower away our lives or go on with our lives. It is important to always be alert to our surroundings and what's going on at all times. Don't go anywhere by yourself and stay with a crowd. The dangerous part of the trip will be while traveling down the road in our cars, not while we are parked watching the ball game. And oh yeah, I am so proud of Chris and Boo for making Mr. Football Finalist. CONGRATULATIONS to them and to their team mates who made it possible.
