Yeah, if it is a bee or a single wasp, but obviously you don't know anything about hornets. They swarm and they all attack you...not just one hornet, but a whole bunch of them. ;D

That may be true and all, but the fact remains that the Hardin boys WILL remember that 52-0 beatdown. It doesn't matter that EC wanted to end it...and what do you mean "Hardin official"? I thought it was a TASO official, not a "Hardin official" that was in charge of the game. Revenge may not be the key word, but they will be determined to not be embarrassed like last year. Anyway, I think it will be a game to watch and enjoy, but Hardin wins 34-21.

You don't get it, do you? Read your own post and tell me what is wrong with it. Look at it objectively and without bias and you should see it. ***In case you still didn't get it... You said Hardin is a passing TEAM going against a division 1 secondary PLAYER. A TEAM beats a PLAYER every time. The division 1 secondary player can't cover every eligible receiver that Hardin has. So please read your posts before you actually post it.

I agree that officiating in all of the sports does need to be improved, but calling Kountze dirty in basketball implies that you don't know what you are talking about. I know the Kounzte basketball coach and he doesn't condone dirty basketball, but he will run, run, run you into the ground. He has won 2 state titles with Kountze and I am happy for him so don't badmouth his program. I have a feeling that you are venting against Kountze basketball b/c EC hasn't won a district title (or for that matter, a state title) since he has been there (I could be wrong, but don't think so).

Sounds like it will be one heck of a game!!! Wow, 10,000 possible fans at Dayton Bronco Stadium???? I only wish I could be there b/c I was there at Dayton in the mid-90's. However, I am at a different school now so I will be rooting for my team come Friday night. Good luck Broncos and Indians...let this be a clash of the titans (injury-free, of course)!!!!

If you look most everywhere, especially in this area, that the visitor's side is usually smaller than the home side. Dayton's is no exception, but their visitor side is more than adequate, in my opinion. I believe it will easily seat 3,000 visitors. Plus, you have to account for the several hundred that like to stand by the fences and watch instead of sitting down, plus the several hundred kids that will be wandering around looking/talking with friends instead of sitting down. Trust me, Dayton's visitors side has more than enough space for the dedicated bleacher fan.

Don't you mean the Bucs are staying ;D (it is a home game for you.)

check yours too

me too!!!

i think it is margin of victory.

dang HDbasketball star...ya beat me to it...LOL

try again...if Hardin beats EC then EC has 2 district losses so no three way tie for 1st place (Buna and Hardin would both only have 1 district loss)...Buna gets 1st due to beating Hardin (assuming Buna beats Warren)..Hardin gets 2nd by beating EC but losing to Hardin...two way tie between EC and Kountze...Kountze gets 3rd playoff spot by beating EC. (or it could be determined by points scored..I don't know) If EC beats Hardin then 2 way tie for 1st place between EC and Buna, EC wins 1st due to beating Buna...Buna gets 2nd by beating Hardin and Hardin gets 3rd playoff spot by beating Kountze.

I wasn't there; that is why I asked...but at the Buna/Hardin game I seem to recall hearing #77 taunting the Hardin crowd. I wonder why the coaches let the Buna boys do that...it seems like I hear something about every game with Buna (I'm probably exaggerating).

I haven't seen him yet and hope to see the Hardin/EC game next Friday, but if he is as hyped up like everyone makes him out to be then he probably does run out of bounds every chance he gets b/c he wants to get a scholarship to a good school (can't fault him for that since a serious injury could derail that) and due to the fact that every school that plays EC is going to key on him when he is on offense, the risk of injury is increased. Dang, got off track there for a sec....Congrats Kountze...sounds like it was a good game!

poor sportsmanship?? what happened??

Heard TT got hurt though...did that happen??

a bit confused by the wording in red in the quote... If hardin beats EC, then EC would have 2 district losses so there would not be a 3 way tie between Hardin (since Hardin would still only have 1 district loss), EC and Kountze. But I do kind of see what you are saying...it would be a 2 way tie for 3rd place/playoff spot, but, say Hardin does beat EC, then Ktz would get the 3rd spot due to head to head win over EC. Say this scenario plays out like that then, 1.Buna (wins district with one loss and win over Hardin) 2.Hardin (has to beat EC for this spot) 3.Kountze (Hardin has to beat EC) or if Hardin loses...then 1. EC (wins district with one loss and win over Buna) 2. Buna 3. Hardin (gets the spot due to head to head win over KTZ)

congrats Kountze...I think you surprised us all tonight. I knew ya'll could play after your game with Hardin, but this really caps off your season. What a turnaround for ya'll!!!! BTW, how did you score your touchdowns? Are they weak in the secondary with the exception of TT? I wouldn't be surprised if the big ol' running back from Kountze had his way with EC...that is a big ol' boy!!!

you must be biased for Kountze in general b/c I have seen her play several times this year and while she does hit very hard, she has to have a perfect set to hit it hard. The mark of a great hitter is a hitter that can make something out of nothing and she has yet to prove that to me. However, she is a JR so next year ought to be a good year for her (mark it up to a learning curve). Accuracy is something she needs to work on. The last game I saw her play, she only hit 3-4 balls hard and 2 went for kills (the others were digged by the defense) and I saw quite a few balls go out of bounds when she hit them. Now if this had been a thread for best blocker, then Johnson wins it hands down. She is always around the ball on the front row defensewise.

Sounds good to me, Coach! Thanks for the kudos and your boys can play too! Sounds like it was a doozy against EC...

It doesn't matter if no one watched Hardin's games, Jordan Nolan, based on his season stats, would still qualify as one of the highest rated passers because there is a mathematical formula to determine passer rating. He has over 2400 passing yards with 30 TDs and 6 INTs. That accounts for a high passer rating coupled with his completion percentage (I believe that it is in the 60% range). Makes me wonder how many sacks the other teams have put on Nolan...I bet you could put it in the single digits (that means under 10).

The libero is #3 and I did not see anyone take a hit to the face the other night. However, Kaila did hit about 3-4 balls very hard, but they were perfect sets. She is only effective when the set is just right. IMO, the setter is not one of the better ones I've seen. Even so, I think Kaila's forte is blocking. When they played Hardin the other night, she was right in the mix for a block just about every time she was in front row. I want to guess that she got about 8 blocks that night. What grade is she in? Anyways, like someone else said she is a very good 2A hitter; I have seen better ones in the past, but she is probably the hardest hitter I've seen this year. On another note, did anyone watch the volleyball match between #1 Nebraska and #5 Texas on TV the other night? Texas won in 3 straight, but the amazing thing is that Texas has a hitter (who also happens to be Texas' high jumper on the track team) that can reach 10 foot 10 inches on a vertical leap, according to the announcer. I was not able to watch it b/c the channel had a Rockets game instead but I heard that she was basically hitting it over Nebraska's 6'5" middle blocker en route to 17 kills for the match. Wow

I think Buna got 3rd in 24-2A.

revfaulk, Well, the thing about letting some things go to speed the game up doesn't make sense...If a player was called for a double hit infraction, play continues, but the other team has a point. Think about it...with rally scoring, game goes a little faster if infractions were called b/c a team gets a point. What is the point of having rules if you/official turn a blind eye to it? Also, what is the point of having 2-3 hr practices if you work endlessly on making sure your players play the game right and then an official lets a player get away with double-hitting or even a lift? It doesn't really say much for the integrity of the game if minor rules/infractions are bypassed. I know this is high school, but these ladies are on the step up to college and they need to know/realize that cutting corners on playing the game will ultimately cost them.

Saw the Johnson girl yesterday and will say that if she has a great set from her setter, then she can really bring the hammer. Just imagine what she could do with a really good setter. Great blocker...probably better at that than hitting as she got quite a few blocks. Some of her kill attempts went out of bounds but I can see her getting better. I didn't see her throw a fit like 08Softball said, but her coach sure did by throwing her clipboard down really loudly when her player misplayed a ball.
