Final

Wow...I did not see this being a close game. I know Valley returned a bunch, but geeze.

Guess John isn't that strong after all. Looks like they will face Spencer county in opening round

Pulaski squeaks by South Laurel by 1. Duke almost knocks out Louisville. Weird night. Strange things happen sometimes. John was up 21-0 early in the 2nd quarter. They haven't had a turnover the last two games, then put it on the ground five times last night.

Coaches fault is only explanation!!

If Shelby County beats Collins - and there's every reason to believe they will, there will be a three way tie for second (assuming a Franklin County win over North Oldham). Franklin County has no shot in that tiebreaker. They'd be 4th. Only way I see John Hardin opening with Spencer Co is if Collins wins next week. Not impossible, but unlikely.

Great catch Dragon. Still lots of football to be played. Heck this district is coming down to week 11 games. Franklin still has to beat North Oldham.

Lol. You and others know the deal by now my man. John plays well and wins (see Meade, CH they still won despite 6 turnovers, but the D was lights out.. .or even plays well against very good teams and loses, see PRP); its crickets on here. Let them lose or win ugly? Boy oh boy.....makes the weekend for some.

Where you at hoss, give us the low down. Valley that good?

John was up 21-0 with a lot of time left in the first half. A fumble inside their own territory lead to a Valley TD with about 4 seconds left in the half.

 

This game went from the feeling of a running clock was lurking to a ball game.

 

Valley unfairly gets lumped in that bottom of Jeff Co, and they aren't. They are in that class of Doss, Western, Waggener of late, Fairdale and even Moore. They, like others in that list have no shortage of talent. You can't just show up and beat those schools (as they all do more than their fair share of beating others).

 

Valley has VERY GOOD QB play in Campos. He's as good, if not better, than any QB in the region (I vote the last part of that comment). Their RB is a stud as well..you could also make the argument that he is the single best RB in the region. I know there isn't one with his size and power. Solid scheme. Campos does a good job coaching those guys. They did a lot of little things that most people don't do these days. They did a GREAT job of clock management..shortened the game...ran one of the MOST UNDERRATED plays in all of football on several occasions in QB sneak (and not just on 4th and short when everybody knows it's coming). Back to Campos at QB (coaches son)..very accurate and some kids that made some really great coaches on some really well thrown balls. Their quick passing game (3 step) was very efficient. Again..they aren't in the slum group of Jefferson County.

 

I know often times on here things want to get made more than what they are. John looked very good early on (hence the early 21-0 lead), then turnovers hit (5 on the ground and lost 4 of them) and they played the most lack luster of a game for 2 1/2 quarters as I've seen them play all year.

 

Is what it is. Played horrible for a half and some change while Valley had/has just enough players in key spots that you can't do that to, and John ends up winning by the hair of their chin.

 

Pulaski who has a chance to represent 5A east again this year wins by 1 last night vs a South Laurel program who seems to always be average at their very best years. Bardstown, who has proven to be a real threat to come out of 3A west was fortunate to get by Moore last week.

Valley is much improved, but are not 21-20 good. Let's just say we are all glad JH won and on to next week.

Valley is getting better, not there yet. Game came down to a 2:00min., 90+ yard drive that put Valley down 20-21. They went for the win, and came up short. Campos plays at another level, total package at quarterback. Hard as nails, took a lot of big hits and delivered the ball to several quick recievers on the money. Neely is a load. Big back, when he gets going. Watch out.

Ok bud here you go...we had one player kicked out of the game for an almost physical altercation on the visitors sideline...JH's typical and predictable play calling was atrocious, and allowed Valley to hang around...Valley has a very good QB. the RB is a stud...they're coach called an almost perfect game....no one is crickets, most fans already knew they should win district...YOU could coach that team and win this district

Valley was without the Best interior lineman that goes both ways and their leading receiver Excuses are what they are but I wouldn't want to say John Hardin is that much better than Valley

Valley has some LEGIT athletes.
