I also think he's delirious, because there is no doubt, both the plays he referred to occured in the JV scrimmage. The "70 yard bomb" was from the QB #28 to #36. Both of whom were on the JV and never saw any playing time in the varsity scrimmage. Also, the running back who broke and got caught from behind was #35, a back up running back on the JV. BHFAN should quit worrying so much about ruffling our feathers and start worrying more about the fact that the entire Barbers Hill football program was shut out yesterday... Three squads, with about 80 players each, could not muster a single TD. Not good... :

Dude... are you sure you didn't watch the JV scrimmage and leave and completely miss the varisty? The only reason I'm saying this is because the JV tailback was the one who got caught from behind during the JV scrimmage. Also, the 70 yard pass was on the second to last play of the JV scrimmage.

If you didn't see BH get dominated last night then you were asleep in the corner. In the controlled scrimmage WO-S marched up and down the field. BH crossed the 50 once in the game situation and the controlled portions combined (and they were starting on the 30). If you consider keeping us to 3 TD's "holding your own" then I'll give it to you, but please be realistic. I will admit, I had my doubts going into this season and the games against Dayton and Bay City. After last night I do feel a little better.

Geez, after an hour of reading this entire thread (which I now wish I could have back), I have one question... What is the difference between "dry hatin" and just plain old "hatin"????

There is no doubt these kids have a good work ethic. One of the coaches told me at the beginning of two-a-days that they had the best summer work out participation ever. Like you, I was very impressed with what I saw yesterday. With a young team like this, you really don't know what to expect and they looked really good. One thing you must remember though is that BH is young too, even younger than we are, so you really don't know exactly how good they are. But, you can only play (or scrimmage) who is on your schedule and it was definitely a dominant performance. The things that impressed me the most are: 1.) How in shape we were; 2.) Our defense and their speed; 3.) Our new QB's throwing, he was probably 8-14 passing, I knew he could run, but he really threw it well too.

Does anyone know if this will be a controlled scrimmage or a full game srcimmage?

??? ??? :P :P ;D ;D ;D

Oh, I don't think we're being underestimated bro... and I don't think we're being dissed. Someone will always be picked to win and someone will be picked to lose. Most people pick Dayton because they won the 4A district last year and they have Green and the younger Dugat back to go along with a winning tradition. I'm not saying that is wrong or right, everyone has an opinion. I'm just saying we have done well in this situation in the past.

Personally, i'm glad were not "supposed" to win this game. I think our coaching staff and our players have always excelled as the underdog. I seem to remember quite a bit of the same type of talk last year before this game. I cannot and will not make a prediction because I think it's to close to call. One thing I CAN guarantee is that WO-S will be in shape, they will be prepared, they will play 4 quarters and they WILL bring the hat.

I don't care what anyone says, they are rivals. They are what you call "heated" rivals...

I've heard the depth thing about WO-S for longer than I can remember. As long as Cornel Thompson is there, fatigue will not be an issue. Last year, one of the main reasons Dayton lost to WO-S was because WO-S was in better shape. Yes, I was at the game. We won the game in the 4th quarter because the Dayton defense was out of gas. You could see it happening about mid way through the 3rd. If we lose this year it will not be because of depth, it will be because we got beat by a better team that night. Diamond J, you must be a player... my advice to you would be to be very careful what you ask for.

No one is underestimating anything. The fact is that they are only returning 4. When you are young, you are subject to mistakes. Especially in the first game. Most people are predicting a Dayton win just based on that, because WO-S will be young on both sides. It does not mean you are void of talent. Both teams will have good athletes.

This game will hinge on how well the young corners for WO-S will do against a big QB who threw for over 1,500 yards last year. This could be a high scoring ball game due to this, and, the fact that Dayton only returns 4 on their defensive unit from last year. In short, both defenses are young. Could be many points scored...

That's right shepinto, there is nothing wrong (at all) with select ball. The problem is that some were using it as an excuse for these kids success and undermining the hard work and preparation these kids have gone through. It was DEFINITELY used in a derogatory manner.

This group of kids have never played together at Ford Park. After allstars started, they played in one select tournament in Lake Charles to get ready for this tournament and so did the Vidor number 1 team. That is the one (and only) time they have been anywhere near select ball.

I'm so glad someone brought this up... I heard the same things going on. After our game on Wednesday (Orange2), the TC1 coach approached my wife near the concession stand and interrogated her about the number 1 team and being a "select" team. I guess he thought that she would say something incriminating since she was obviously a mom of a number 2 player, but of course she would not. In fact, she told him straight up what she thought about his inquiries (he picked the wrong person ). Anyway... he was asking her how long they had been playing together and even asked the question, "tell the truth, they are a select team, aren't they?". She said, "ummmm... NO!" and walked off. Also, one of my parents over heard the same thing coming from some of the Vidor parents after their game, although not as bad. This is the problem I have with all of this CRAP. I am a second team parent/coach so I really don't have a dog in this fight. But I have coached several of the players on that #1 team and it PISSES ME OFF for ADULTS to belittle the accomplishments of these children and the hard work and hour upon hour that they have put into this game. Why in the F--k do ADULTS have to ruin the experience for these kids? Just because they are better than you doesn't mean someone is cheating. They are just better. I think it's a travesty that this was even going on. Thank God that the kids are oblivious to it so it will not take ANYTHING away from what they have accomplished. I purposely trolled the TC side a couple of times last night hoping that someone over there would approach me with this crap just so I could let them all know exactly how I felt about what went on. Parents... sit back and enjoy the experience. Realize that you will win some and you will lose some. Your kid will not always play short stop and he will not always play every inning. Accept the fact that there will be teams better than you at some point and realize that every coach is out there to do his best. Stop ruining this blessed experience for everyone around you. Your child is only going to be in this league for a short time, enjoy it and quit pissing and moaning. Before you know it, this period in their life will be over. Enjoy it and let those around you enjoy it too... Shame on some of you!

Yes, Orange1 is in the finals, but they will not play Friday unless need be. TC and Vidor1 will square off @ 6:00pm tomorrow and the winner will play Orange immediately following. If Orange loses that game then they will play Friday. If they win, the tourney is over...

Great game tonight TC... you guys came out and jumped on us and our kids just couldn't seem to recover. Good luck tomorrow in your first game. Gotta pull for Orange1 in the second though. Let's go Orange1 FINISH IT!!!!!

Yes, TC1 beat Groves1 20-11. Orange2 beat Groves2 16-15. tomorrow: Orange2 vs TC1 @ 6:00pm Orange1 vs Vidor1 @ 7:30pm I just want to say "way to go" to all of the kids who have fought hard in this tournament and a special congratulations to both of the Orange teams for making the final 4 of this tournament and are the only 1-2 combo left. You have done Orange proud!!!

Congrats T!!! Hope everything goes well tomorrow too. Make sure you get on here and let us know the outcome. I'm in Austin right now so I can't go out and watch.

You can't say we have 3 back. Players were rotated in constantly last year. Several will have varsity experience. The secondary will take it's lumps early, but the entire defense will be good. Mark my words...

WO-S defense will be better than recent past.

We may set something up for Wednesday. I'm looking at having 3 scrimmages this week. I think we're going to Sour Lake on Tuesday.

...always... and I have only myself to blame for this one. td will tell you the same. He tried to warn me, but I was trying to do the right thing by the kid. It appears I've screwed it up on all fronts. It's OK though, I'm not going to let one bad one mess up the whole crew... that you can take to the bank!!!

Yes... I'm so proud of these kids... this team is really coming together far better than I ever imagined. It's a great group of kids and parents (almost). It has really been fun!!!
