Henry County vs. Munford

[RedSwarm10]

Cook played

 

Thought he was being held out this week. Oh well. That's good to hear.

I talked to Andrew's dad after the game and he said he thinks he will be fine. Slight concussion probably. It is good to have someone like Alexander #61 that can step in and never miss a beat. I thought he really stepped up tonight. Also great defensive effort .

[QBClubPrez]

Ray threw the ball much better tonight I thought....we just had some "butter fingers" receivers a few times. Ainley was good with the extra points. Running game solid as usual. Once again, our defense was fierce....the key to our deep run. One poor kid from Munford was carried off by ambulance. They were very careful with him which makes me believe was either a back or neck injury???? Anyone know more about this???

 

The young man from Munford did suffer an injury which looked pretty severe from the sidelines...however after visiting with those who attended to him....much precaution was taken even though he had complete movement in both the arms and legs. Nonetheless...there was apparently some slight damage to a vertebra found once he arrived at HCMC. Other specialists were notified at another facility and they were preparing him to be moved to that facility for further care. Both the family and Head Coach were optimistic for a full and complete recovery in a few short weeks although as one can imagine the discomfort given the limited mobility during the tests. It was a very physical play with absolutely zero malicious intent...simply put...an unfortunate part of the game we love! I have visited with their Head Coach after the game and will continue to do so throughout the week to stay "up to speed" on his progress! Coach Saunders is as pleasant and humble of a Head Coach as you will see in the profession. I certainly hate that on top of his team's season ending, he has to also deal with one of his players spending the night in a hospital away from home. Great job tonite Cougars and congratulations on a great season!

I will say that the Henry Co. program is a very special one. I am a former player of Melrose 2004-07 and had the chance to play them for three years and I must say they have a good if not great team year in and year out! I will say that they do have the advantage of playing a weaker schedule than the memphis teams usually does. The strength of schedule of a high caliber Memphis team will outweigh Henry Co. schedule anyday so records can be misleading. I do think that Henry CO. is the Boise St of High School football, a very good team but doesnt play a tough enough schedule, but like Boise when they play a great team they find a way to win. Is this team better than the team with Teague and Allen? Dont sleep on the Memphis teams, they wont blow a 20 point lead like we did!

 

Interesting, East played such a tough schedule and was 7-3, and gave up a loss at home by giving up forty points to a team Henry County had on their weak schedule and was beating 49-0 with 9 minutes to play in the second quarter, and went on to win 63-14. but that was one of those weak opponents LOL I think they beat the second seed in the Memphis quad. I noticed that Dyer county beat a memphis team, and now the quad is down to the one Memphis team in 5a that I think is solid, Ridgeway.

I agree with your post in parts. However, Memphis East only had their best player for one series. Brian Kimbrow is the one of the best if not THE best RB in the state. I think the score may have been a little different with him on the field.

Any update on the kid from Munford and Jelks?

Kid from Munford messed up his c4 and c5 vertabrae but is expected to make a full recovery, while Andrew will be held out this week, but will continue to be evaluated to see if he will play Round 3
