John is a football school. Most male athletes come for football with the winter and spring sports benefiting. We have several basketball starters each year that are football players.

Khalil Frazier RB John Hardin to Georgetown College.

What do you think about Neuman's stats? Where they decent, outstanding, or do you think he struggled like you claimed Elam did. You are right about these awards, they usually go to the kids who get press. But hating on these players and trying to down play their accomplishments is foolish. If a athlete is able to improve his stock by attending camps and combines and put his name out there more power to him. I feel bad for the kids that don't get those opportunities, especially if they are capable of playing at the next level. In Elam's case he didn't have to go that route. Colleges came knocking on his door. What gets you noticed for these awards more than anything is college offers.

Sounds like your talking in circles. I asked you to tell us about all the other great defense players out there you referred to. I'm sure you can name many Linebackers that had more tackles but please tell us about some linemen that had as big of an impact for teams than Elam did. Do you know how many teams had to game plan around him? Saying he isn't worthy of being nominated or winning some of these awards is pretty dumb. Personally I like Fant for Mr. Football.

Feel free to tell us all about the others since your so knowledgeable about defensive lineman. I would like to hear about them.

Matt Elam's stats for the year. 84 tackles, 15 for loss, 4 sacks. Also Matt has the school record for blocked field goals and punts which he has many each year. Keep in mind he did this getting double teamed on most plays. Not to shabby for a d lineman in my book. Call me crazy I guess. :jump:

What a game. Congrats to Bowling Green on the win. I'm very proud of the way our boys fought their way back into this game. I believe everyone at the start thought it would be a repeat blowout like the 2011 game. Our boys sure showed a lot of heart in this game. Congrats to Coach Lewis on his successful first year as head coach. Bowling Green I would wish you luck in the state game but I don't think you will need it. I'm starting to think you guys brew up the luck in that purple drink you guys keep talking about. Can you pass the recipe our way? Lol.

We were a big underdog going into the game last year, and nearly pulled off the upset. I don't expect it to be as close this year especially if Elam doesn't play. However, there is a reason you play the game. You never know when the football gods may smile down on you and things go your way. John Hardin is due for one of those games. Good Luck to both teams!

It won't be much of a game. First round playoffs games are usually dull. I say John wins 46-0.

35-21 John wins

Both teams are 2-2. John has losses to Desales and Highlands. PRP has been beat by Scott County and Manual. Who wins this Dixie Hwy showdown?

Great game. Highlands uptempo offense is pretty over whelming. I thought it was the difference in the game. Congrats to Highlands on the win!
