Im really surprised that the coach's just didn't ask that their be no limitations on practice. I say that we just stop Basketball Season, and Baseball Season, and lets only have year round football... It just seems to me like football coach's wine and cry more then any other high school coach's.

I didn't expect this at all... Lone Oak is playing very well... Really sounds like thier offense is clicking or the Boyle D hasn't came to play.

If Lone Oak scores again this could be killer for Boyle to overcome.

In my opinion the problem with putting 9 in the box is that the offense that JC runs, is based on numbers. The dive option, midline option, and belly option blocking schemes all rely on out numbering the defense. If you put 9 in the box then you are going to get no back side pursuit and I believe that it would just hurt the blue bird d. In my opinion, the best way to stop a good running game is to play your normal D, wrap up the runners and play your assignments. You bend, but you don't break.

I think that JC beats CC by 2 scores. You cant look at what happened in the second half of the Scott game because JCHS played many of their replacements during that half. Any team in 5A with their number 1's in should have no problem scoring on another teams number 2. Its that simple.

If JC come to play and doesn't shoot them selves in the foot this game won't be as close as people are thinking. JC really has the opportunity to catch Belfry in a down year compared to the usual big strong run the ball straight up the gut Belfry we are all used to... JC had what 8 turnovers against SC and got beat 1 score. If they had held on to the ball that game would have been a win because SC couldn't stop them on offense. Same with the out of state team. I still think that they loose to Bell and Boyle though. We will all find out very shortly about 7 hours until kick off.

If JC continues to hold onto the ball then they will win this game by a touchdown or two.

JC by 3 plus scores... Matney has finally righted the turn over problem at JC and they are gonna be hard to beat if they continue to play fumble free football.

I hope JC wins but if they don't stop fumbling the football it won't matter how down Mboro is. JC has been beating them selves.

Yea but things that the school has bought such as balls, bats, cages. etc. to my understanding shouldn't be used.

He can be there... He just cant instruct nor can he run the practice but he can observe. However, really they shouldn't be using anything that the school bought while practicing. Really they shouldn't even be using the high school field to practice. My team practices at our little league fields and uses their equipment and balls, however I am there to watch. Also, like I said I am the one who does our weights and conditioning.

Thats is understood like I said I'm not trying to argue about the score they definitely got beat. However, its a heck of a lot harder to score when you have to go further then 35 yards. Also, the amount of rushing yards would have increased had they not turned the ball over time, after time, after time. Its quite simple, this should have been a closer game but Boyle was simply the better team. There is no dispute to that.

As for the remarks made about not wanting to reschedule next year... He was just frustrated at his kids for the turnovers... He has no plans of not rescheduling these same teams... Thats a bunch of baloney... to much was read into it when he was talking while he was mad at his kids. We all say stupid things when we are frustrated.

Im not in Johnson but my family is. There is nothing going on in Johnson. They will be fine. What has happened is their starting QB is struggling making the reads and the backs aren't holding on to the football. Again I say they will be fine. They will be without a few kids this week which will hamper them. However, by week 10 I think that they will be ready to make a run in the playoffs. I think that the biggest problem is not the schedule! Its the fact that they set the schedule up the way they did... I think that they would have faired better had they had a win or two to start the season to kinda iron out the wrinkles before the bigger games. Any way, they are a work in progress and will be fine. The thing that has killed them in both games that no one seems to want to touch on is that in the Boyle game, Boyle scored 6 times (I think it was 6) starting on the 35 headed into the end zone. Then last week against the Michigan team, they had around 500 yards of offense but fumbled numerous times. Matney will get the turnovers ironed out and they will be a hard team to beat come playoffs...

The thing that I like the least about our class system is that so many districts only have 4 teams. I feel that the playoffs are for the 4 best teams in the district. For the districts that only have 4 teams why even play... Just pull straws for seeds...

They did replace their QB this year. I think that Hall was just having a hard time learning how to read his keys in the option at game speed. He is a great kid and will be a contributor for this team I just don't think it will be at QB.

Its my understanding, as far as weight lifting and conditioning goes they cant formally say it is a requirement but they can encourage the kids to do it. The head coach can do all he wants in terms of open weight lifting and conditioning just cant give any baseball instruction. As far as the fall league goes Im not exactly sure because our parents run ours, but you will hear different things from different people. Call KHSAA talk to Julian Tackett and he can tell you all you need to know.

Well... I definitely don't believe that it will be as bad as the Boyle County game. I actually think that JC will pull this one out. The thing that has killed them this far has been their turn overs. I know that Matney will correct this problem sooner then later. And Im going to go with the Eagles in this one 35-28. They can't keep turing the ball over on every drive. They are also making a change at the QB position which will ease many of their problems.

This is true however with that being said. When I played ball at Johnson Central we switched the way that we blocked in each of the options that we ran. In the belly it was blocked just as you stated. However, when running the Dive and Mid-line we were taught to block by gap. Usually the back side chopped, the tight end attacked the safety, then play side was over loaded giving us 1 extra blocker leaving the defense -1 in numbers. I didn't play for Mat. so I don't exactly know how he does his blocking schemes but I doubt it would be the same for all three. He is to good of a coach to make it that simple for opposing teams.

If I'm not mistaking Johnson Central runs not only the Belly Option, but also the Dive and Mid-line option as well. This is why their running game is so productive. They will attack your second level at many different points. The formations remain the same but the blocking assignments and double teams change depending on which option they are attacking you with.

I'll take Johnson Central 28-21 in this one... What people don't understand is that Johnson Central no longer rebuilds, they just replug people back in... lol
