To quote myself.... Louisville Central 34 - Western High 0

Does anyone have a score from this game? This game wasn't listed in the paper the other day. :dancingpa

People, from past experience, you all take this stuff to heart too much. X won T lost, there are no excuses, Maybe since the game is over and attitudes and anger are coming out, we need to shut the thread down. JMHO

After seeing X, ill give them the edge...

I taped the game and I can show you tons of times where Glaser was out on the field trying to work the refs or moaning about a call. Thats what he does good is he works the refs for his favor, if you're around X this week, tell Coach G that there is no such thing in high school football as an uncatchable ball on a pass interference. Also those yellow shirts were nice, i thought the tour de france was in town

I dont want to hear excuses, in St. X's scheme and the way they do things there is no excuse for that type of play. Your alls defense played great, but with the exception of about 3 plays, you have to admit, Manual contained Deuce and Zoeller very well. The game was close because both teams played great on the defensive side of the ball. I dont want excuses for the special teams, everyone knows that catholic schools play good sound discipline football...

heck of a game by both teams, but the last time i checked, coach nichols played and graduated from Providence...in what, 89? 90? 91? I dont think he was out there playing tonight and winning or losing the game. You take away 3 or 4 plays for X....we got OT or a manual win, but those were there, good game X. I think many of you have to agree, Deuce doesnt break that long run at the end, hes under 100 for the night.... i mean gotta have hats off to the Crimson Defense on that. X, good speed. Your coach needs to stay on the sidelines more though, he loves working those officials too much, If i were a ref, which thank god im not, glaser would have been out of the game on some of those coming out on the field to the hashes to argue a call. But anyways, give credit where credit is due, good game.

I am not born yesterday and can read between the lines of a quote and infer something off of it. There may be knowledge of catholic families and thats fine and dandy and Jerry Mayes could remember names like crazy, he had a database in that brain of names of people and pictures of faces... but I infered something else from that quote, just my opinion

42-14... Lets get our facts straight! Yes its two points... but still lets be accurate here. X has a lot of speed with the backs, Beech or Beach is a monster and will be good. Where did he goto school at as an 8th grader? Someone told me Thomas Jefferson Middle School... Where did those other backs come from? #6 , #20 and saw #8 out, is he alright?

Did anyone see the shot that Glaser took at Manual today? Its the "R" word... Something to the effect that glaser knows a lot of those kids because they played catholic school ball? Just thought i'd point that out, but a counter to that is... oh wait, Cant even go there.... Here is the actual quote... ..."Glaser said. "I know most of those kids because a heck of a lot of them are Catholic school kids".... I will say this, I think manual has some, but not many. In fact many may not know that Rhayven Smith came from X in the middle of his freshman year, that is fact now. Lets just get ready for an awesome game tonight... I dont know what Demling is smoking though.... GO RAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight: :fight:

I just love the weeks manual and st. x play. There are more X and T people here crying poverty than I dont know what. Plain and simple here it is for all to see and read.... X won the JV game that is fact. Opinion, the resources are not there in Jefferson Cty to do such programs. I know this as a teacher in the system. You say it takes commitment to do it, well yes it does, it takes a lot of commitment for a seperate JV fresh and Varsity team to suit up. It takes money to pay coaches that is not there. Budget issues are always a concern at the High School level, much less middle school. There simply isn't money there to support a middle school football program in the public schools. I am not going to debate Private/Public because I could care less right now. With the NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND ACT, our wonderful President.... George (I will refer to him as that as I refuse to even say he's my president) There are funding cuts in education across the board to finance a war thats unjustified and leave people in Louisiana homeless after a catastrophe. There is no money folks, thats why class sizes are up because there is an ever growing population and schools are over crowded. There need to be more public schools in the city of Louisville because of an overcrowding issue and a high student to teacher ratio. If you dont believe me, PM me and I will send you a 15 page report that I did for a class about the education of America and how we are not progressing instead we are digressing with footnotes included and you can read my position. That being said... X won the JV game.... do your thing there, jump up and down you won a JV game and lets get ready for the freshman game and Varsity game... BTW its a 6 tomorrow night at X! People, the only reason I see this board on here is that each person pays $15 to state their opinion...An X fan is not going to change one of a T or Manual and vice-versa You just cant. X people love Glaser, T People love Beatty, Manual people love Nichols, and his coaches. Whoever invented this site is probably taking in a lot of money right now for people to gripe when you can goto a bar and do that for free and put back some cold ones as well.

Strike 3 and Spindoc, you know this stuff is going to happen its a rivalry game!

As much as i prefer neither win the game.... Trinity 35 Eastern - 21

Back to the game.... Manual 21 X- 14

The whole manual staff is full of upstanding people. If Coach Glasers gripe is that he raids the catholic leagues, I dont know if he does or not, dont really care either. I can tell you this about Coach Nichols, he doesnt care what you think about him or his program he puts everything into it and his players play hard for him because they love him. Not only do they love him, they love his other coaches and the staff he has assembled there. That staff is an awesome group of people and players remember that! Now on the topic of Nichols going into the catholic leagues...Wouldn't he be mad or have a gripe if Glaser came into the optimist leagues and got players? Isn't that vice-versa type stuff? I dont know what goes on nor do I care, but it seems that some people who favor a certain team don't think about that and that its okay to raid a non catholic league for players. Im trying to avoid a breach of rule 13, i didnt say the R word! You people before you start making judgements about nichols or glaser or any other coach need to get to know them first. If you get to know them and think they are scum then thats your opinion, dont go on hearsay be a man and find out from the person, go talk to them or meet them or something before you talk about the person they are or what they do because half of the time you are completely wrong.

Please tell me the difference between X coaches and Manual Coaches? If you played at Manual and are on this board, You can agree with me on this! Manual's coaches are some of the best prepared coaches I have ever been around. They care about their kids and they know football. I may be impartial because I played there, but I am telling you, they really know what they are doing. Its not about being outcoached. A lot of time it is talent levels. The talent is there for them to win, its about execution, a coach can't go out there and play for them. So don't sit here and say its the coaching believe me its not, its all about execution. Another similarity im sure between Manual and X Coaches: The main goal of a coach is to foster development and grow men in your program, correct? Do you think its different at X than it is at Manual. Manual kids who play football have been known to do some great things because of coaching they received and because they are kids who want to play. They play hard for the coaches because they trust them and that relationship is there and its built not using any type of program, but because they are good people. Doesn't the same thing go on at X? Some of you people get on here and complain Nichols this, Nichols that and how he compares to glaser this and glaser that, well its more than just one person in the program there are other coaches there too who are coaching. Both schools have excellent coaches lets just get that out there right now. Its about execution! I will hold my opinions on St. X's coaches until I spend time with them and can make a judgement from my personal belief and what I see. I can tell you that Manual's coaches are some of the brightest minds around here. Some of you don't realize just what it takes to be a coach at either school.

I think you can bet that this is going to be a good game. I remember a few years ago when Manual had St. X on the ropes, in fact it was 6 years ago last friday night... Dont ask how I remember that maybe because of the whole september 11 week, car wrecks and barely losing to X after a 20 pt. lead. I will never forget that.... But, if I were to compare teams, I would say this team (manual) has the talent and HEART to beat X.

We know what the better academic school is...

I think its going to be closer than 35-10.

ram2003... I hope you're wrong.

To the people of Henderson Cty. You are a class act. The stadium was brilliant and the Henderson Crowd was excellent. A really nice town to play football in, the school will see better times as many of them are young, but like I said, very nice people all around that city.

Where did that stable of running backs come from?

I believe Justin Cloud is now at Atherton...if im not mistaken :fight:

Can I throw out there that this game doesnt matter and manual will win both?

The moonlight BBQ in Owensboro is a nice place to stop in and eat. Best BBQ in the world according to them.
