Good ball game tonight. Costly penalty's for holding, blocking in the back etc. Cost us two touchdowns. 4 dropped balls, which 2 were turned over to GB (yes my son, lol), GB had their own share of costly penalty's for personal fouls/unsportsmanlike like conduct, etc. Good running game by both teams, great seeing one of my sons close friends on GB #18, he ran the ball well tonight as well. Our QB #7 had 3 rushing td and threw two more I believe.  Neither team kicked very well, which lead to good field positions by both teams. We are down a field goal kicker, and pretty much trying anyone at kick offs, I believe tonight was our young mans first time, he stayed with it all night. Got better as the night went on. As the coach said, our backs played great tonight receiving, blocking, and running. All in all if we played them 10 times this year our record may be 5-5, they were not the same caliber team as Franklin Simpson, where our kids pretty much played error free. Tonight, they made their fair share of mistakes, but, over came them, in years past, they would have imploded. Great seeing these young men Ive known since they were 5, grow in the young men they are becoming. Refreshing.  At one point in time just about every one that played, did something, somewhere in the game that mattered. That is a team effort. Awesome. Good luck to GB the rest of the season. They will win their share. Good bunch of kids there, my son has been playing against that group since they were little. Lots of good folks there in Greenbrier. Great atmosphere there for a ball game as well.

    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with county’s with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April 
    • It will be interesting to see if the Warren County School District allows this to go before a jury or they settle out of court before going to trial.  My guess is that this case never goes to trial.  If this goes before a jury, they could award even more than the $750K.  I was on a jury where they were asking for 185K and were awarded 1.2 million.  You never know what will happen in that jury room.
