I was there, too. My son was a captain of the team and a friend of Desmond's..and still is. It happened right in front of where I was sitting. He was tackled by another player and down and as the official blew the whistle an OR player hit him high before he could hit the ground. I can still replay it in my mind 4 years later. I didn't say it was a dirty play. It was unnecessary and classless. It not only didn't intimidate the team, it motivated them to a 35-14 win.

 

 

What? The hit on Horne was not a dirty hit, Earl. I was at that game. Unfortunate that he got hurt, but it was a football play plain and simple. Unfortunately sometimes those plays happen. Also the injury to your guys' #4 the other night was also just a football play. Those things happen. You have lost me with the late hits dirty play comment. I saw none of that in any games OR played against The Rebels, whatsoever. They were all tough, hard hitting affairs with both teams having the utmost respect for one another. Don't go there man.

You know what's funny is I have that game on DVD and I just WATCHED it. Nowhere near being a late hit and not classless in the least bit. Would you like me to mail you a copy? Sorry man, but unfortunately those types of plays happen. That's football.

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
