Western gets its first win and J-Town gets its first loss.

I'll say it again Wesern is getting overlooked. The size and speed they put on the field could cause fits for some of the 4A powers this year.

Not just 4A. Didn't they just lose to 6A Bryan Station only 21-17 last week??

Hills played their most complete game to date. Offense moved the ball well all night (Curry had around 300 yards of total offense) and defense limited Grant Co to around 120 total yards (70 coming on TD run with 1:26 left and JV defense in game). Big improvement for Hills was 0 turnovers!! If they can limit turnovers and keep improving, will be a special year for the entire program!

Yeah Mike. It was especially painful watching the game on film the next day. We had three different chances (with the ball inside LBS's 20) to go up 17-0 in the 2nd quarter and didn't. Also we took a sack with 8 seconds left in the half in 2nd down at the LBS four, keeping us from improving on our 10-7 lead at the time. That was a back-breaker. LBS came out and dominated the LOS in the second half as we ran out of gas a little. Not to make excuses, but we had 4 starters not make the trip due to the flu and our best RB (who had 177 yards on 19 carries last night) sat out serving an in-school suspension.

 

Jeffersontown is a good football team. We had our hands full up until the very end of the game. They just ran up and down the field, but we turned them away a couple times down close.

 

We do have a lot of speed and talent, but it's going to take us to gel as a group, mature as a TEAM and stop all the silly little mistakes before we make plans to go very far in the playoffs. But if we can do those things, we're certainly talented enough to make it to December.

Just keep coaching em up, they are coming around and a little success this week could be the catalyst for a great year.

Right on some guy. This week we play the "Shively Bowl" vs. a resurgent Butler team. Butler is less than 3 miles from Western and about half of our players live in the neighborhood right across the street from Butler. So I expect a amped game Friday.
