The high school and middle school are on the same campus. The high school is north of the middle school and the football field is east of the high school, between the high school and Paint Creek. The football field is north of the baseball field.

 

Do you take Central High Drive to get to the field?

I am sure Dale Mueller will be making adjustments and adding new wrinkles also. He is very good at that.

 

I think HHS goes in with their standard gameplan. That's not discounting what they will do based on what they have seen from film, but I don't expect too much of a different team at the outset. Now, what Dale and his staff do as well as anyone is make adjustments. I think you will see them find the weakness and fill the gaps quickly as they read the direction of the game.

 

New wrinkles???? Hmmm, maybe the will run the ball.....

You will have no trouble finding the football field once you find the high school. The high school is located immediately off the highway (on your left) and I am unaware of the entrance to the campus having a name. If so, then they have basically named the entrance to a series of parking lots.

 

When you turn off the road, do not turn toward the school until the road forks, with one fork continuing toward the football field on your left. At that point, you will see the football field on your left, the baseball field in front of you, and the middle school parking lot on your right. Everything is close together, so you cannot get lost after you find the high school.

I am ready to head to Paintsville to enjoy the holiday. Mrs. Nikki Caudill's (Teacher at JCHS) mom is cooking for the entire family and we plan on making her work hard to satisfy our hunger. Make HHS work hard and let it satisfy your hunger Friday night!!!!!

Once you get somewhat close to the high school you will be set... it will be crowded, early.

I have a question for the Johnson Central fans:

 

Assuming this is a close game late and JC scores a touchdown and are an XP away from tying the game, will Matney go for 2 or go for 1?

 

Will be interesting to see if he is still snakebit from the Belfry game when going for two backfired and he took alot of heat.

I hope he does what he wants, not what he feels "pressured" to do.

Ok here is the 60 million dollar question, will I be able to get 2 charter buses parked fairly easy?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And thank you for answering all my annoying questions.:thumb:

:thumb: Nobody knows a football team better than a good coach, and Matney is a good coach. Chances are, he would go for two again, but whatever he were to decide, I would not expect many Johnson

Central fans to second guess the decision.

After the game he basically admitted he made the wrong all, and said that the kids were pleading for him to go for two and he caved in to them. Also made a hillarious quote when he said, "When I die they can put on my tombstone 'He went for two'" :lol:

 

This could potentially be a nice sub-storyline. Matney has won some major games in his day going for two.

They did after the Belfry game...oh, how they questioned him...

If you let the school know how much space you need in advance, then I am sure that they will reserve plenty of space immediately behind the stadium. They will probably do that anyway, but I would call to make sure that they set aside enough space for your buses.

Fantastic and respectful post leatherneck....

 

I am not a JC fan, but I do know their program well, and have seen Matney coached teams pretty much every year over the past 15 years. Here is what Highlands can expect that you can't see on paper on game film:

 

1. (This is in no way my beliefs but what I would put money JC belives) Expect a team to come in with the biggest chip on their shoulder you have ever seen. Right now every player on JC's team has been drilled that they have no shot in this game from anyone outside of Paintsville... well make that half of Paintsville. That Highlands has advantages they do not have, that Highlands is overlooking them, that Highland has no respect for them. Friday JC is playing the best Highlands team of All-Time.

 

2. Expect JC players to believe that this game and season is their legacy. The 2006 team came short of cementing JC on the grand stage, but Friday they can prove they are ready to compete with anyone in the state in any year.

 

3. A quarter of the plays that Highlands has scouted and made the effort to plan for won't even come close to being used this week, additionally, another 6 or 7 plays that Highlands has not seen JC run will be integrated for this game.

 

People can say whatever they want about Jim Matney, but there is no denying the man's passion is football. He lives for Friday's like this and he has so much care for his players that they in turn live for Friday's such as this as well. Additionally, agree or disagree with things he says, you will not find a head coach better at motivating his team and playing the underdog card. JC may be 11-1, but they have been the underdog in all 12 games they have played in some way shape or form

 

IMO, Highlands is 4 TD's better than JC in terms of talent and championship experience. But, anything less than Highlands A game, coupled with homefield advantage, and JC's mindset as the underdog could potentially make this a very, very close game.

 

This is the best post I have seen on this site. No one argues that HHS has more numbers and is deeper in talent and speed. The "Matney Factor" and the "Pride Factor" he can instill can not be ignored and is hard to factor in if you have not played JC. I hope everyone is predicting HHS will blow JC out all week! It will play right into Matney Plans.

They did after the Belfry game...oh, how they questioned him...

I do not recall many JC fans questioning the call. I recall many others doing so. In any case, Matney will not succumb to fan pressure on any decision and anybody who has met him will attest to that fact. There are not many people more confident in his own ability than Jim Matney, and I mean that as a compliment.
