...and another thing. Perhaps these other posters "calling out the coaches" as everybody likes to call it, knows these young men are much more capable than what they're displaying, week in and week out. I just feel bad for the kids who've I've witnessed on occasion. Perhaps they feel they're not getting everything due them, and well...it's sort of like Reagan's Trickle Down Theory... To quote I'mjussayin' "I'm just sayin'!"

PurplePride, I'm sure your comment wasn't directed at my post...well, maybe a little. But in defense of the fellow Eagle posters on here, who have been begging for better coaching, I will ask you one simple question. Does Stewart and his staff roam the sideline, regardless of whether the Broncos are winning or losing, and coach their kids during the game, or fire them up, or get in their face when they need to? My bet is yes and that they do not stand off by themselves and look totally mystified like they have never seen the team they're playing or the scheme they're playing before! Does Price know his stuff??? Perhaps. Does Price know how to get his team prepared? Well, that's suspect from the couple of games I HAVE witnessed. Go read my post again. I said I saw very little on field leadership. That's a gut check Purple from the young men out there laying at all out. I'm sure you played in your hayday and my bet is that you got fired-up each game or YOU wouldn't be on here like the rest of us reliving our glory years through these kids. I'm not bashing these young men at all before somebody squawks on here to leave these young guys alone. I'm just saying they better start relying on themselves to get fired-up and motivated because leaving it to this staff, in my honest opinion, isn't going to happen and that's a sad, sad, tale! But I for one feel coaching these young men is more than teaching the x's and the o's, it's about motivation and inspiration and attributes that will take these young men way farther than the football field, and well frankly, I didn't see it last night, that's for sure! Go Eagles...find the fire, find the desire and let's go give Dayton a football game!!!!

Ohhhh I shudder to think about next week. The mighty Broncs coming off a loss to none other but the Cougars from Crosby???? They ain't gonna be very hospitable to the Eagles and I guarantee if our boys can't find some way to light a fire under their butts, it's gonna get real ugly, real fast!!!! > > >

What coaching? They all stood on the sideline by themselves? C'mon, coaching HAS to happen on Friday night too!!!!!

Man o Man! I only get to see one game a year if I'm lucky since I live out of state, but I do follow the Eagles religiously on here. I must say though, tonight, sitting in the stands in the pouring rain for Homecoming, I just witnessed the most UN-INSPIRED football team I've seen in a long time. I witnessed no leadership on the field; I watched the coaches on the sideline all the way on one end and the players on the other and NO coaching going on there, and the only inspired "lick" from the Eagles came like on the next to the last play of the first 1/2. Lots and lots of arm tackles and basically NO leather poppin'. I hope, hope, hope that this was not the "real" EAGLES or it will be a very long rest of the season. And before anybody says the rain was an issue, bull; it was just as bad for the Patriots. Now those boys looked inspired and came ready play.

The "deal" is Cy Ranch is a first year HS and is the same as GCM and Kingwood Park were last year, with the exception, that they are a 5-A school. There are no seniors on the team or in the HS and they just called themselves a JV team since all they have are Juniors, Sophs, and Frosh. At least that is my understanding.

Total heartbreak, but you know...sounds like the kids have heart; coaches doing a good job mixing it up; now let's work on execution and we should make some noise in the crappy 19-4A...LOL!

Raiders win 35-29...GREAT GAME Lumberton. Eagles, keep your head, fix the silly mistakes and you'll win some good games!!!

Cheezy Pete.... got clobbered and threw a pic. Raider''s will win on 2 costly pics...AGAIN! However, Vivrette had over 260 yards passing.

Not a one!

Sack....2nd /13 with 66 seconds.

3rd 4 on the 28. 1st and 10 at the 32 with 1:18,

2nd 10 at 20.

92yds to go for the Eagles' with just over 2 mintues.

4th and 7 Raiders with just over 2 minutes remaining. Sorry Snoop, don't remember.

Hill tries onside, Raiders get it.

Both teams over 300 yds offense.

TD Hill. 35-29 Lumberton 2:50 left. Hill missed another PAT.

1st and goal Hill with 3 minutes to go. Hill has thrown about 220 yds.

Raiders playing a great, mistake-free game.

Hey Hillguy, go shake somebody for me....this is ticking me off!!!!!

pass interference on the 5. Next play, Hughes off the right side for TD. 35-23, missed 2pt conv. Again, key mistakes for Eagles have cost us the game. Hughes 126 yards rushing.

29-23, 5 minutes, 4 and 10 on the Hill 30 for Raiders.

sounds as though the receivers are making GREAT catches. 3rd qtr was disastrous for the Hill with multiple holding calls to stall a drive, then throwing another pic on Hill side of the field. That's been the difference so far.

Eagles punt, Raider's ball at Raider's 35 with just over 8 minutes.
