RememberThis?

Danville 35-32

Boyle 25-20

Well if you have read my past post i was clear that i had a kid on the team, its not i dont believe that a coach should be a good teacher, i just dont believe you should base how you hire your coach on how they teach, becuase A's dont get you a "W" on fridays, i believe the head coach should not be required to teach to focus more on football, and who said anything about illegal activities? how can a coach or teacher control what a student does when he/she leaves? illegal activities are more of a parent problem wouldnt you say?? and what sums up the situation?? we want a winning coach, that helps are kids progress hopefully to the next level, um yea ill admit to that haha

Are you sure about that? So your saying if you had a #4 seed make it to the semi's and they play the #1 seed from the other half of the bracket, that the #1 seed would have to travel?? That dont sound right lol. Again not saying your wrong but it just sounds strange....

ill take boyle county 52-21, too much overall talent on both sides of the ball, including a D1 Stand out linebacker who can play on both sides of the ball and who i think will back up all the hype, and would anyone agree that if boyle wins friday and plays bell county the following week.. that the winner of that game will win the Title?

After I read that article all i could think was, This is a JOKE, You need two major characteristics for a head coach #1 WINNING, #2 Can relate to players and help them progress, all this "be a strong teacher in the class room and on the field." Give me a break, nobody gives a care if their FOOTBALL coach can teach, they want them to be able to coach and win and better the team and its players, lets take a quote ive been told and twist it, let the teachers teach and the coaches coach, and once again Yates is going to pick a rinky dink second hand coach at the last minute when nobody wants to play ball his way, its why jaggers was basically forced to leave (He earned his retirment but yates would NOT let him just coach) and mason was hired after two other coaches (who both i think had great season, but dnt quote me on that) had already taken the job and quit within a day after finding out what yates was all about, Mercers principle, and the board of ed. are a joke and its not getting better any time soon and its sad to see it for these mercer players

I believe every team deserves a shot at the playoffs, but we know tht is not realsitic haha but whether your team won 1, 2, 3 games, etc, if you won enough games to earn a playoff spot then i say congrats, ive seen teams go like 3-7 or 4-6 and end 8-7 or 9-6, some teams have the ability to turn it around and basicly start a new season, given that is not every team, but im all for giving every kid a shot to extend their high school career and play one more game, because that one more game means much more to a player then a fan can realize, so sure it might water it down but its giving more to the kids and im all for it

Taking Bowling Green in this one

Comets by 2 TDs

Johnson is out for the season

Mercer 35-17

This is the 2nd craziest score ive ever heard of!!! your thoughts?

Jacksonville 84 Nacogdoches 81 Final 12OT

ha i'd have to see it to believe it

#5 in 5A Bowling Green only lost to #1 in 6A Trinity by (2!) although being out numberd and "undersized" It aint always about stats and numbers.....its bout HEART and who wants it the most, and also by saying this, you are saying both Ryle and Highlands would beat trinity?? and i guess Highlands is gunna have to start that consecutive win streak over again hahaha

so still basically a must win game for mercer to be Guarenteed a spot correct?

But since Mercer beat SL and lost to Lincoln and will likely end 1-3 in the district, but if SL beats LC who beat Mercer then they will also be 1-3. LC beat MC but MC beat SL, and if SL beats LC who beat MC, then who takes the 3&4 spots with a 3 way tie?? It's confusing haha,what do they use? the classic coin flip? lol

Question, since Mercer defeated SL and SL is winless in the district, is Mercer guarenteed a playoff spot or does anyone else play SL, jw Thanks

West in this one

Wait? He suspended a player for a parents action? And they have heart, They just DO NOT respect the man enough to want to play for him if that isn't obvious yet, and thanks BLATS for bringing up another point "ADJUSTMENTS" where were they for Mercer? Out Coached yet again becuase even without Johnson and burris, these were two pretty evenly matched teams, other then a few Lincoln linemen that you could say wasn't entirely muscle lol I'm sure I'll be blasted for"armchair Qb" or "Let The Coaches Coach", hmm well they've been coaching and still no results and if you think that there were any adjustments made Friday night please point them out! And I don't mean how they put guay and 32 at rb, I'm talking play calling, formations, defensive adjustments.... I just don't see it, folks, if 22 doesn't intercept a fake punt for a td then it is 30-0, after the first quarter we can not do anything becuase no adjustments are made, look at the previous games and look at the points scored post first quarter or at least a couple minutes into the 2nd quarter, it's just obvious to me he ISN'T doing his job, and bash me if you want bacuase I really do not care. haha

well in case you didnt know, the original head coach got in trouble and was demoted to an assistant and the year after he left and mason was the "only" head coach, it was the same results as now, also if you read my enitre post, I SAID WEIGHT TRAINING MUST BE A PROBLEM, and if you think that all those mercer players still on the team lifted then you have not been to a game my friend becuase if they have been lifting, the maximum requirment was a girl push-up becuase its not showing, sure there are a few with dedication, but it takes a team and not just a couple boys. Also, what in your mind thinks you have any right to tell me how to raise my kid? so you sit back, act like you know whats going on and be quiete, becuase 1 Jaggers did have a weight program which the athletic trainer Tod Davis maintained, 2nd i only know of two players being forced off the team and it had nothing to do with lifting, 3rd Mason has NEVER been succesful by himself, 19-15 with ex head coach, 0-10 without.... sound familiar, once again not saying we are the best team or state championship calibar, but more is expected and more is possible by far

Purple, the reason the kids havent bought into the system is due to the fact that they do not like it , and yes he did have problems there to, i believe a couple more 0-10 or 1-10 seasons, also sorry for the mix up gchs, also ive heard the Titans lost another speed back, so now they are out a QB, FB. 2 RB, DT, OT, both KR and PR, it just gets worse? wonder y they are ALL so injury prone, could weight training have something to do with this? every game with the exception of south laurel every team is bigger and stronger, given thats not every player, but the lack of dedication shows and in my eyes this is why all these injurys are showing up, your oppinion?

ill say i agree with coldweatherfan on the adjustments and if there are any made, and actually the kids really liked and wantd the Henderson coach and were completely surprised to hear he wasnt comeing less then a day after being hired becuase the school would not let him bring in his own staff, and also we have been playing SW for longer then last friday night and i remember our Men beating your boys up and down the field on friday night not that long ago so... and i believe if they had the chance they would go back and extend jaggers contract, i certainly wasnt his biggest fan in the world but i honestly would rather have jaggers back

It was a good game but REALLY lopsided in penalties, Mercer did truly commit a couple but it was rediculous, Mercer only had one turnover i believe but once again after the first quarter the same old stuff gets old and the defense can stop it everytime, this coach is an embarrasment and so is the offensive coordinator, but Mercer i believe should have won this game, they dont have their starting qb, star back, main pitch man, and startin d-tackle and we still took it as far as Masons playbook would let us, they would be better off to get a marker board and draw plays on the sideline, plain and simple, if he dont get his act together.... this season is shot becuase we couldnt even beat Licnoln Co. with coach this season, judge me on what i say if you want to but what do u think is the reason? becuase the kids feel the same way and they are tired of loosing and so are us parents!!
