Final.

Yikes

Great job Colonels! Fantastic effort. Keep working hard and thanks for making us proud!

 

1-2-3 Dixie Pride!

Wow!

Double WOW.....

Congratulation's on a great game Dixie!

Can't imagine too many people -even the DH faithful - would have guessed this. A close 10-10 halftime game turns into a bloody rout. DH outplayed Ryle in every phase of the game in the second half and absolutely deserved to win. Ryle honestly seemed emotionless all game. Ryle's offense was very poor and left their defense out on the field about the entire second half. Ryle had numerous turnovers and pretty much played into DH's game plan. DH put eight in the box and were determined not to let Ryle win this game running the ball and Ryle never adjusted. Outside of one TD pass in the first quarter, Ryle had no pass offense at all. Very, very disappointing for Ryle and a solid win for DH. #21 for DH was particularly impressive.

Holy cow -- triple wow.

 

Oh, that rhymed. Sorry.

That would be senior running back Marty Maloney. He epitomizes what what Dixie Football is all about. The kid is tough as nails and as humble as the day is long. One things certain about Marty, he gives 100% on every down and has been a joy to watch over the last 4 years.

 

In all honesty though, it is probably more truthful to say that this is the way we Dixie fans expected our team to play all year. I'm glad to see that we are finally hitting our stride.:thumb::thumb:

Ryle 2 for 8 passing for 46 yds., and one of those passes went for 30 plus and a score. OUCH!

Great, great game by Dixie. The boys played the best ball I've seen all year. A couple key fumbles by Ryle helped Dixie in the 1st half. Ryle was able to run the ball one some of their first half drives as they had the edge on the line. In the second half, it was ALL Colonels. The offensive line was amazing. They were blowing the Ryle d-line 5 yards off the line every play. The o-line gave Marty 5 yards every run, and then he gained 10+ by making the backers miss. Everything was between the tackles too, nothing on the edge. He ended up with over 170 yards rushing, 4 rushing TDs, and 1 TD reception. Bricking had one of his best games of the year too. He was spreading the ball around, and not staring down his receivers. He looked very good tonight. Detmer was, well, Detmer. He made a great diving catch at the goaline and a very nice punt return. Defensively, the d-line dominated the line in the second half, and by the offense taking the lead, it forced Ryle to throw, which lead to a couple INTs. It's the best game I've seen from Dixie this year (missed the CCH game), and I came away very impressed. This game was truly won in the trenches, but it was a GREAT game by all. Congrats to all the Dixie boys!!! :thumb:

Not surprised Dixie won, just surprised they beat Ryle around like a pinyatta.

 

That CCH/Dixie game will be a war.

Doubly painful loss for Ryle as I beleive (but am not certain) this will knock them out of hosting a first round home playoff game. Can anyone confirm this?

Is this some type of tiebreaker you are talking about?

Campbell lost tonight too, so they still hold the edge over them. SK plays tomorrow. Ryle is done for the regular season, so they have to hope for a Campbell and SK loss next week.
