My personal opinion is going for it was the correct call at that time and place on the field. Put the game in the hands of your QB. A 45 yard goal is asking a lot for a Soph. With the game on the line. Plus the ball was on the right hash mark.

Just curious, why count to 100?

 

Huge controversy this week was a Middle School principal from Boyle was on video at a Pep Rally making some questionable stereotype statements to the crowd including referencing that some people from Johnson County probably can’t count to 100.

Just curious, why count to 100?

 

During a Boyle County pep rally an administrator from the school was on film saying, and I paraphrase "JC people are from hollers and can't count to 100.....etc" prior to the game. The Boyle County superintendent issued a formal apology following this, but the damage was done and the mountains were ignited on social media and various platforms. You will probably see #hollarproud on a sign as you enter Johnson County for years to come. It became JC's battle cry.

Wow, congratulations to Johnson Central. I figured it would be close.

Count me in with #hollarproud . And there were people wearing this shirt that are from neutral fan bases at game!

I’m Hollerproud too, I lived up a holler in Parksville. Congratulations to JC on the win and was the best team that the Rebels played all year. I’ll have some stats later.

In a close game like this one, I can't help but wonder if the comments made by Boyle County played a role as it provided the extra motivation/adrenaline needed by JC. I am certain it was mentioned to the players multiple times during the course of the game.

 

My mind says it had no effect, but heart says it did. One thing is certain, it galvanized the mountain fan bases (even bitter rivals) to route against Boyle County like nothing I have ever witnessed. They all stayed and counted to 100 together in the stands at the end.....loudly!

 

Like Jim Matney said, JC didnt want an apology, they wanted respect. Tonight they got it!

 

There's a certain romanticism to the idea that JC was elevated by something that transcends what our eyes can see - and part of me really wants to believe that that's the case. But once the ball was snapped, those kids were probably just trying to hone in and do their jobs, despite how much the off the field stuff permiated the atmosphere surrounding this game.

 

Then again... who knows?

Big Congratulations to Johnson Central. They took advantage of Boyle’s miscues and played a near perfect game. Thanks you to this year’s senior class for Boyle, for all that they have done and accomplished. You truly will be missed. #Rebelforlife
