Actually I believe they have that problem everywhere they go...

 

I kind of thought that may be the case after reading several of their postings on BGP this season. I don't think I have read one posting from any of them since Friday night. :laugh:

Of course, it goes both ways.

 

Fort Campbell beat Warren East 41-6; Warren East beat Greenwood 45-27; and Greenwood beat Monroe County 35-21

 

:lol:

 

I truly wish that it did work that way:

Monroe Co. beat Wayne Co. 26-19

Wayne Co. lost to Somerset 41-7

Somerset lost to Corbin 56-10

:dancingpa

Or how about this one:

Fort Campbell lost to Franklin Simpson 17-7

Franklin Simpson beat Russel co. 35-28

Russel Co beat Somerset 27-23

Somerset lost to Corbin 56-10

 

And you could probably go on and on if you took the time to search the scores.

It goes to show you that on any given night of football anything can happen! High school football is very unpredictable at times, one player being off his game can change the outcome of the score. I feel Monroe is pretty deep at alot of positions but I am sure that is the the case for FC. I feel like I am in high school again and can't wait for friday night. The atmosphere is full of excitement about the big game!!!

I have a feeling Monroe County will be one of the hardest hitting teams Fort Campbell has played this year.

Actually I believe they have that problem everywhere they go... Not coming to mid field to accept their runner up trophy was the kicker for me...

 

 

You know I wanted to give credit where credit was due for the season Monroe Co. has had but the continuous trash talk about Green and their fans has really put me over the edge. Semperfifalcon, I have enjoyed the back and forth discussions between me and you this season, however; you know our fans done nothing of the sort that any other rival fans would not have done. They highly support our program and are loud, screaming, worthy fans no matter where they go. Just like your own. But to say we are unsportsmanlike has gone too far....call me a whiner all you want but let me give you some facts about the game on friday night. I am sure you will come back with something considering you think you are some football forum guru that has your brother in law to back you. The Dragons were in a group listening to their coaches speech about the year and the group of seniors that really turned the program around and that was the reason no one came to recieve the trophy. It was picked up by the principal.

 

1st point: Before the game ever started, the Monroe Co. coach continues to apologise for the field being in such a terrible shape. It was an absolute quagmire for some unknown reason. The clay mud around the locker rooms was dry and hard as a rock but the game field was almost in unplayable shape. The excuse was it rained on Monday. (four days prior to game time, don't bye that one). What really happen? Maybe the tent at the end of the stadium on the visitors end was hinding the fact there was some type of water hose that was used to wet the field. HMMMM maybe!

 

2nd point: Green Co. recieved 8 - 15 yard penalties that all but one was thrown on 3rd and long or 4th down. HMMM coincidental. Monroe had 2 penalties for 15 yards all night long (one false start and one hold that brought back a TD). Green has well over 150 yards in penalties that were all thrown by the head official and the side judge on Monroe Counties side. Not one flag was thrown by the umpire, back judge, or head linesman on the Green Co. side. Another coincident.

 

3rd point: The guy on the Green Co. sideline that was keeping the down marker starts mouthing about a call the Dragon coaches were discussing. Resulting in words between him and a Dragon coach. If the chain crew can not handle the atmosphere on the visiting side, maybe they don't need to be doing that job. The chain crew was ask to keep their mark while the Dragon head coach questioned one of the many penalties...the chainman got smart with the coaches. Quoting, "you do your job and I'll do mine." The head linesman knew nothing that was going on until the chainman runs to him and cries foul. Resulting in two of the Dragon coaches being put out of the coaches box. The referee said the Dragon coach threw an elbow at the chainman which was totally not the case and ridiculous. Even the chain man said the guy never touched me...it was nothing more than a heated discussion and the line judge deliberately took sides.

 

4th point: The Dragons score twice fairly quickly in the second half taking all the momentum of the game. Having the lead by 7, Green Co. picks off a pass on the Falcon 35 yard line thus really taking over the momentum. After the freshman linebacker for the Dragons starts to return the pick, a phantum flag is thrown by the head official resulting in a roughing the passer call that was absolutely ridiculous. Therefore giving the ball back to Monroe Co. and a automatic first down. If the Dragons have that ball and score, GAME OVER!

 

5th point: The Falcons run the ball at mid-field and fumble. The lineman throws the bean bag, but Monroe recovers the ball. The Dragons never have possession. The crew huddles together and says it was a change of possession between the two teams therefore resulting in Monroe Co. ball and giving them 1st down and 10 instead of 4th and 8. Another head scratcher!

 

6th point: 3rd and 12 and the Falcons throw a pass to Wilson in which the ball was cleanly thrown over everyones head. A pass interference was called on Green Counties CB #21. Watching the film after the game plainly shows the CB was at least 4 yards away from the reciever. This call was made on the Monroe Co. sideline. Plainly deliberate flag!

 

7th point: The situation was 4th and 7, Monroe Co. has the ball on the Dragon 42 yard line when the QB was flushed out of the pocket on a pass. The Dragon defensive tackle stops the QB for a 2 yard gain in which should have been a change of possession but a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty was called on a Dragon defender because the head official said he led the tackle with his helment. Resulting in a 1st down on the Dragons 25 yards line in which the drive resulted in the only TD the second half by the Falcons. HOME cooking !

 

8th point: The Dragon QB gets gang tackled by 5 Falcon defenders. The whistle was blown and then the Dragon QB was thrown to the ground. The Dragon QB jumps up and pushes one of the defenders off of him and a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty is called on the Dragon QB for pushing. This was after the fact he was slammed to the ground, clearly after the whistle was blown. Absolutely rediculous by this point!

 

9th point: The Dragons have the football on 4th and 4 and a "shift" was called on the punt. The Falcon defender brings his entire body over the line of scrimmage and the football. The linesman simply stated, "I am not going to call that." It should have clearly resulted in a defensive offsides penaly resulting in a 1st down for the Dragons, therefore; keeping the drive alive late in the game.

 

10 point: These were all things that were significant to the outcome of the game. I am just stating facts as they occurred regardless of who wants to argue the points. When you are in the stands doesn't even compare to what you see and hear when you are up close and personal. It was a complete shame because this was a very physcial, hard fought game by both sets of players and coaches, on the field. It is a shame that an officiating crew has to result in the outcome of such a fine ballgame. Not just tonight, but all season...the officiating in high school football has almost become a JOKE ! Especially when it gets this far into the playoffs, we can not have officials being the results of ballgames that are so highly important. Not fair to the coaches, players, schools, or the administration. Let the players determine the outcomes...noone pays there money to watch a game where 25 penalties are thrown, especially when it is clearly one sided.

 

In closing, I will say Monroe Co. has made a tremendous turn around in their program in such a short time. Coach Petett should be commended for that but lets not throw stones in a glass house when it comes to discussing SPORTSMANSHIP! I will say goodluck to both teams this week but will send a stern warning to Ft. Campbell saying you are a TD, maybe 2 behind before you ever step foot into one of the worst visiting lockerrooms in high school football. You will be penalized more in this game then you have all season. HOPE THIS IS NOT THE CASE but the above mentioned leads me to believe things are so dirty in todays sports and society! Good Luck to All ! :thumb:

I have no intentions of entertaining you by disputing every claim you make, it is however funny that you have an excuse for everything, none of which being Monroe just happens to be better. The bottom line is Monroe beat Green twice once at Green and once at home. to say that they had to have help from the refs is quite funny, like you said Monroe is the only team to have a TD called back. As for the condition of the field do you realize that was the third strait game played on it two of which was in wet conditions.

As for the Green Co. fans being like all other fans I doubt that, I don't remember the fans from Ft. Knox or Bardstown spray painting over our signs or harassing our coach's to the point the police had to intervene...

To sum it up your post is nothing more than sour grapes and anyone who has followed Green Co. football knows what kind of reputation they bring with them, its no secret…

If you would like to discuss it further this isn't the place (PM or Green/Monroe thread) this thread is for two teams that happen to be still playing...

I thought this was the Fort Campbell vs Monroe thread?

I am not going to even try to read all of that... Because there is no excuse for Green County fans.

Cut out the personal comments now. The next one gets to sit on the sidelines and watch. This will be the only warning.

Let me go ahead and be the first to apologize.

Now that we've realized Ft. Campbell is already down 14-0 how do you feel about the game now?:lol:

Fort Campbell 15

Monroe Co. 14

 

 

I think we can all agree that there will be some good football to be played Friday night! :thumb::thumb:

Green County did good advancing to that game by beating Danville. They had a good year but Monroe beat them twice, at home and on the road. Trust me there are some pretty crappy visitor locker rooms around the state and hostile places to play. Check out the Pulaski visitor sidelines, a swamp in a drought. Just go to Bell County period. I could go on all day but Monroe County is as good a place to play as anywhere. The refs are also from another region this time of the year. Congratulations Green on a good season but you lost to the same team twice, good luck next year.

Now that we've realized Ft. Campbell is already down 14-0 how do you feel about the game now?:lol:

 

I respectfully still like our chances!
