  1. Pikeville's big plays were the difference. Van Hoose uncharacteristicly missed two FG's & two extra points, but Maynard made some bigtime plays and pass completions. So did their running backs.

     

    Fairview played well in spurts, and had their chances, but in the end Pikeville made the big plays.

    FG's and extra pts looked good from the stands. Maybe they were so high the refs couldn't see. Congrats to the Panthers. Great block by freshman #13.
  2. Wasn't questioning nor do I want to or expect to know what anyones status is. MRI's can be clean,ct-scans clean,follow the finger and no problems or headaches and wind up half retarded in the future. My question is more as a parent? when is enough,enough? And who predicts the lingering effects in the future? I sure bet Ali wished he had hung them up....say after Foreman, than be like he is today. Both these teams played their guts out, and I am sure we are using the latest in computer testing etc they measures more than MRI's may show. An MRI,etc will clear from liability etc., but has 0 effect on predicting lingering effects. Your service to your team is great and in no way questioning, If it was my child with 2 I would dare the coach to consider contact for this season.

     

    If the concussion issue was so set in stone as far as diagnosis,time off etc......the NFL wouldn't need to fly these players across the country to be treated. It is just not an exact science and no 2 are alike, but some players are more likely to have them than others and repeatedly.

     

    I would rather see no player injured....ever, we all agree on that.

    Some states have concussion laws, Kentucky does not. Call your Congressman etc....
  3. Just read that Neathercut had another concussion, that is 2 this season, and I hope he is looked at cautiously and perhaps gets checked out and cleared by a good neurologist. These concussions can ruin a person in later life and no game of football is worth dribbling oatmeal off your chin at 35 yrs old or so. May God Bless him and hope he has all the testing necessary, but in no way would I expect him to play for a good amount of time. Crosby the NHL has not played or had serious contact in nearly a year, caution and not getting hit, I can't imagine risking a 3rd concussion, and wish him and the Rams the best. As a parent,if it were my kid, I would seriously cosider dropping football, youhave to think of the future quality of life.
    Just how many players are you hoping won't play on 10/28/11. Just sayin after reading your many post. GO RAMS !
