McCallie vs MBA

[BLUEMOM]

Awesome game, regardless of the score! Streaming video was terrific.

 

Hope the official recuperates well. Fortunately, I think there is a semi adequate hospital just down the road a piece!

 

Now it is time..... Rivalry week!!!!

Protecting the football seems to be a recurring theme so far throughout the season. Must be corrected.

 

Thought some of our younger guys stepped up well tonite. The injury report last night was grim.

 

Congrats to MBA. They have rebounded from their own injury report!

 

Will have my flags out ironing them tomorrow and getting ready to mount them on the Jeep!

Oh well. Now on to the game that matters most.....McCallie vs Baylor....nothing else like it!

Congratulations to MBA - sounds like this game was a good one.

 

Any word on the official? We lost a really good man at a BA pre-season game 3 years ago (a TSSAA ref and a BA dad)and when I heard about the official going down tonight it made my heart miss a beat. He is certainly in our prayers . . .

Official was apparently coughing up blood. He has had two heart attacks previously and word has it may have been going through another. Fortunately, St. Thomas is right across the street.

Please let us know what the status is on the official. He is in our prayers.

 

Congratulations, MBA. Sounds like McCallie gave you something of a fight.

Sounds like McCallie gave you something of a fight.

Major understatement. McCallie moved the ball pretty much at will. The stories regarding MBA's defense are a lot of hype based on shut-outs of Pearl-Cohn and Maplewood, both of whom were fairly undisciplined, and showed what one might charitably call "early season organizational issues." MBA's wins over Ensworth and McCallie come down to the ability to force and capitalize on fumbles. (Conversely, Baylor had one fumble, and won.) Their pass defense is porous in the extreme. A telling stat on that score is that the team's first interception came late in the 24th quarter of the season. Next week's trip to BGA should be an adventure.

Unfortunately, I heard he passed away overnight. I think he was only 48.

Tragic. It reallly makes the game seem insignificant.

Awful news , my heart and Prayers go out to his Family ... much too young .

[fan6]

Wow, that is such sad news. Our prayers go out to his family. KWoodroff, I agree with your comment . . . it does put all of this in perspective.
