Not sure it makes a huge difference, but Conner will be missing their kick-off, punter, kicker Mason Ginn as he will playing in the championship game of the 33rd District soccer game verses Cooper on Thursday at Ryle. Ginn has not missed a PAT this year but has had a couple blocked by Boone as they busted through the offensive line last week. No field goals for Ginn this season as he has only attempted 1 from 42 yards that hit off the upright for the miss. This seems like a game a missed PAT or field goal could make a difference.

Conner does have a backup kicker that can knock them through if he is given time. The big question is if the kicker will have time, as last week Boone made kicking extra points an almost impossible task for Conner.

@Cougar Nation which team wins this one?

So, a few questions I have for those following Conner and even Coach Rash.

What were expectations for this season over the summer for Conner?  Did they graduate a lot last year?  In other words, was this season expected to be a down season or is this a surprise?

With Coach Rash taking over, does this season somewhat hurt his legacy?  I know there was a ton of hoopla with Coach Rash taking over the Cougars program. And don't get me wrong, Coach Rash is a top notch guy and coach, but let's be honest, it's way easier coaching at a place like Beechwood where you have a ton of talent and tradition in a cupcake district than a place like Conner.  Does Rash stay for a few seasons to put his stamp on things?  Or is it one and done for him?

For Coach Rash to step into this situation to honor his friendship with another coach and try to help these kids get through a really difficult situation tells me more about his legacy than anything he previously accomplished. I believe Tom Spritzky also is helping them. I don't think those guys are looking to get back to the grind but to be there for those kids and that school.

How much more time will Dixie give Burke to run the show? I thought Brossart's teams were more competitive. 

The broadcast is live.

Conner went three and out, Dixie ball on their 35.

Dixie is up 8-0.

The score was about a 32 yard pass, easy pickings for Dixie on the TD.

The 2pt conversion was a cool little trick play.  Snapped it to an up man that did a 360 and ran it in right up the middle. 

Dixie has the ball back.  I am thinking this game could get out of hand. 

Short QB run for another Dixie TD.

Dixie 14 Conner 0

2pt conversion no good.  Dixie is getting real fancy on the 2pt tries and a bad snap didn't help on that one.

128 left in the first. 

Dixie scored again.  Dixie has better athletes. 

20-0 Colonels. 

This thing is going to be a running clock.  Conner is horrible. 

Short punt, Dixie has the ball on the Conner 45 up 20-0 with 800 left in the first half.
