What number is Cameron Reed? I had trouble hearing the announcer last night? I thought #3 and # 4 for Huntland played hard all night.

#6

In 62 pages has anyone mentioned the Fayetteville team that could have been hosting this game? If the motion sick Mustangs had a bad half against that team it could've ended their season.

No mention.  Fayetteville would have been a tougher matchup for the Mustangs (stronger all around on defense, more variety on offense).  The way Huntington played the first half they'd have lost.  The way they played the second half they'd have won.  Good luck to Huntington on the next round, well played game overall.

Lake County will play like they always do. Huntingdon has seen what we do and LC has seen what they do. No hiding. I'm sure there will be a few new wrinkles put in for the game but not much. Snyder has been sacked this season

Can’t really go off that. GB played Meigs 2nd game of the year. When SP played Meigs, Meigs QB had the flu, starting skill player hurt in beginning of game, and an OL player didn’t play. Correct me if I’m wrong @Imthayeti  Not trying to take anything away from SP. Just saying you can’t really compare and say who would win off that one common opponent. 

You are correct

I have seen every team in 1A that is going to be in the Semifinals but Lake county but I do know some of them teams they have played. The semifinals will not be a blowout game from either side and the same for the championship. I do think a team can run on Greenback and I do think that a team can pass on SP and Huntingdon. It’s all going to come down to matchups and game planning. 4 great teams will be playing next Friday!

Agree with this to an extent. Believe we’re further along stopping the run than Huntingdon is stopping the pass. They really struggled keeping defenders in front of them last night. #26 looked lost at times

Again my thoughts on the game.  Huntland played inspired ball.  They just didn't have the horses up front to keep up with the Mustangs for 4 quarters.  Plus their lack of a passing attack kept them one dimensional for the most part even though they completed 2 passes over the top.  It is true that Region 5 Class 1A was a close battle this year.  Not much difference between the top 3 and Fayetteville as well.  I don't think Fayetteville would have fared any better if much at all.  

Huntingdon was by far the better team.  They reminded me of Meigs on offense somewhat but not as big or had as much depth as Meigs County.  Huntingdon started out very slow and that may have been due to the long drive and don't forget it was played a day earlier than normal.  We are all creatures of habit and anything out of the norm can and does affect us.

Huntland controlled the tempo early on.  And the helmet to helmet call at the end of the first half was definitely a good call.  Ensley seemed to be sitting on the ground for the most part after a couple defenders had him brought down and wrapped up.  Then another defender came in late and delivered a shot that drew a flag from every official out there.  That 15 yard penalty accessed on the 2nd half kickoff set Huntingdon up on a commanding 2nd half performance.  They just muscled up and had their way for the most part after that.

I was glad towards the end that no one got tossed from the game.  You wouldn't want to see it against your team/school so why would you want to see it called against another?  Playoffs are heated and rightfully so.  Everything you've work for all year is coming down to the wire.  Emotions flare.  Remember to be led by emotions and not controlled by them and you'll be better off for it. 

Huntingdon didn't throw a long pass at the end.  Just a 10-15 yard out pattern. A couple of broken tackles a juke here and there and a reverse of field and the kid took it to the house.

If Huntingdon is to advance next week I believe they'll have to play a more sound game defensively.  Of course now they have an extra day and will be hosting.  Already clinched their semifinal game.  So all is good on that front.  

As for Huntland they had a really good year. Much impressed with the way they have improved over the course of the season.  Huntland is a small and very proud town.  Reminds me some of South Pitt.  It's just that Huntland lacks enough players.  But I will say they get the most out of what they've got.  

Very nice crowd last night.  Good to see other schools represented from across the State.  So I don't want to hear anything about being soft and not playing the game in the rain tonight.  As for myself, a fan of high school football, I'm very glad the game was moved because I got the opportunity to watch another quarterfinal game.  I'm selfish that way I guess. 

Good luck to Huntland as regroup and start looking forward to next year.

Also congrats to Huntingdon for clinching a semifinal berth.  There are 6 other teams playing tonight in 1A that are trying to accomplish that feat.  So good luck next week. 

And to the other top 3 out there,  let's get it on!

And you may be right. One thing is for sure we will know next week.

Good Post!

Huntingdon looked like they were just going through the motions in the first half. Was it the trip, looking ahead, uninspired, or was it the opponent?  I don’t know.

We were definitely selling out on the run, and got caught over the top a couple of times. #4 and #6 are really good players. Great muscle and speed combo.

At the end of the night, we’re moving on. That’s all you can ask for this time of year. Survive and advance.
