Their whole situation is unstable Bass. Administration said that there'd be no in person classes there, and that as long as it was "unsafe" to have class on campus that no athletic events would be scheduled. They forefit their first few weeks games, then tell our coaches that they were going to play until right before gameday, when they cancelled (we didn't have time to find an opponent). Next, they DO play, and everyone assumes that they're going to play the schedule out, and now it's off again.

   Just for the record, I don't think that the coaches or anyone involved with the team is responsible.

It’s some shady stuff. They let Volleyball play last night.

I really feel for those kids at Houston County. From the outside it looks like some very wishy-washy leadership is ruining what I thought was a team that was coming together under a new coach. They came to our place two years ago to play for a spot in the playoffs, and kept fighting back from behind to win in a monsoon when the old Irish teams would have quit. Last year, they were pretty solid, improving, and really surprised some people. This year, the "dangling carrot" of getting to play has been jerked away like Lucy pulling the football away as Charlie Brown tries to kick it. Just let 'em play!

Trader, the old Irish teams beat you the first 4 times you guys had a ball team...

Wasn't spoiling for an argument, just trying to say that I really thought you guys were getting to where you needed to be before CV-19 (and whatever other issues) derailed the train. Congratulations on those four wins over our brand new JV team with 20 kids.

Tell him Trader! I guess the guy can’t catch on to you trying to give their kids , coaches , and fans credit. The higher ups somewhere over there has ruined the momentum that football program was building. They definitely took a step forward last year but I think they took two steps back this year.

I have a lot of respect for HC's team of coaches... I don't enjoy losing, but I like to give credit when people do a good job and they absolutely had those kids playing hard, smart football. I agree with the "two steps back" comment, and it could be worse if their coach get's fed up and looks for another job.
