Nope. Never been shut out in his career until tonight. Before I say my peace, so I can sleep tonight, I want to say how great it was to meet 32hammer tonight. I really do appreciate you coming over and making sure I hadn't stroked out at halftime. It was good talking with you. I look forward to many more back n forths on here over the coming years.

Now.........Kudos to the Cherokees players and coaches for a job well done! That was a butt whoopin' of grand scale. Your coaches completely schemed my boy out of the game on both sides of the ball. And, we did absolutely nothing to try and get him the ball. Instead we used him to push the defense deep and throw back underneath. It didn't take a smart kid like #23 and a few of his quick friends long to figure that program out. Two targets for #26 in the game doesn't cut it, especially, when one was behind him at his feet and the other into what turned out to be 3 defenders and an INT. Your coaches learned from Webb, shut off the middle and bracketed him to the outside with Holden over the top. You made our other guys beat you. It was the same script as last week with Howard and Boruff over the top. It will likely be the same script the rest of the season, if we don't figure some things out.

I could (but I won't) say a lot of things out of frustration tonight, none of which would be anything negative toward the Cherokee team that completely outplayed our Rams tonight. I believe earlier in this thread I pretty much called the guys on your team that could hurt us, even that very talented kicker of yours. I've raved about #23 since last year, and it is certainly warranted. We obviously didn't try and account for him with anything but one db, and you see how that worked out. He's going to be a GREAT WR. He's darn near there now. Your other burners and the qb hurt us running/rolling out to our weak side of the D. But, the main thing I was worried about all week was the line play and discipline. We got killed on both accounts. We got pushed around on the line and we let receivers get loose when they should not have.

Well done Cherokees. Good luck the rest of the year. I hope you get that coveted undefeated season and another gold ball. This group deserves it! Back to the drawing board for us. This will be quite the test of our small senior class and their leadership.

Thank you and a very respectful post!Your boy will be fine we have all been there one time or another,he is a good one.

Line play was the key!Set the tone on D then smashmouth on O.The potential is crazy.I think by Coalfield we may be even better.

Line play is always the key factor. Them ole boys kinda get left out sometimes but I always give props to em.

Line was good, but, pump the brakes a little. Our line is struggling, as you well know and is one of our weak points this season. They’re young and will improve, I have confidence in their Jedi teacher. As for Coalfield, yes, you could be much better. I saw a couple of good looking kids in the student section that looked like they could help. Coach Ryan needs to work those hallways in the next couple of weeks and try to get those kids out to play.

I also would like to say good job to the coaching staff the discipline on our team last night was the best it's been all year,after the way they played at Oliver Springs got frustrated and got some silly penalties last night we looked like a solid Greenback football team.
