NHS BIG DADDY

When does the 5 come out? Im due for a new phone in October.

A 5 and a 7 point quarter in the same game? OUCH

Is there any sports that Newport is competitive in any more? Our sports programs seem pretty bad lately.

Im kind of embarrased to be an alum and not even know who this guy was until going to this link.

Forget Miles, what about his daddy David Simpson in the early 80's. He was probably the best RB ever out of Newport and one of the best in the state in his day.

The kids in the program just dont get it. Its an awful situation for the coaching staff, and its not any brighter in the upcoming classes either. No discipline what so ever for a lot them, not going to say all of them because that just wouldnt be fair to some of the kids down there. Its not on the coaching staff either, it starts well before these guys ever get to them. They are trying to make these kids better men not just on but off the field as well and its just not getting through to a lot of them. Is there a ton of talent in the program right now? No, but its not as bad as they have been either. I feel bad for the kids that are committed to getting better and showing up everyday busting there butts to get better, quite a few of there teammates aren't giving them that. As an Alumni and former player I couldnt ever imagine missing practice for any reason and it seems to be common now days with some of those guys. It's embarrasing that some of those kids call themselves Newport Wildcats and it has nothing to do with wins and losses. Sad to hear that some of them played like punks on friday night.

Thought the QB for Trinity made a really nice play on this one. Then not such a good throw on the INT next play.

I just tried google chrome but I couldnt get that to work either.

Well now I dont have the feed. Shucks.

Of course now that I get the feed to work its halftime. Is it in black and white for you guys too?

Not working for me either.

How healthy is Beechwood? At the middle school games on Saturday he mentioned that they got hit with quite a few injuries the night before and spent a decent amount of time at the doctors office Saturday morning.

I agree, I cant stand listening to coachspeak. Nobody wants to hear that boring crap over and over every year.

Wildcats came out ready from the get go, they scored on their first play from scrimmage on a very nice playcall that had #21 wide open all by himself for the td catch. Before you knew it Newport had a 24-0 lead. Could have been 38-0 if it wasnt for 2 fumbles deep in Bellevue territory with one being unforced with first and goal from the 3. Bellevue did fight back and take advantage of the miscues and I believe they scored off both turnovers to make the score 24-12. They could have easily called it a night being down 24 early but they did fight back and tried to get themselves back in the game. Newport had a couple tds called back on penalties which they really need to get cleaned up because they cant afford to keep having scores coming off the board due to penalty. Bellevue's kick return team was beyond bad, if Im the Bellevue coach I might have a whole new 11 on that team next week. They let the Wildcats recover two kickoffs which really werent even onside kicks, the tigers just failed to get on the football. No excuse for not recovering those two kicks.

Whats the link?

Actually Im not sure anyone has been invited to play in the game yet, seems like most years they dont starting inviting kids until the summer or fall.

Me too, I just couldnt figure out exactly what I wasnt getting. Then we figured out Clyde has a screw loose. I feel better.

Usually it isnt to big of a deal, if it happens the teams are usually reminded of the rules and then the coaches take care of it. The league directors have admitted fault and apologized for what happened last week but said there is nothing they can do now which I agree there really isnt much that can be done. Would be pretty tough to go back and replay the game now and have to delay everything.

Um wrong. Newport had 4 down lineman and their 4 lbs were 3 yards off the ball which is all they have to be. They did not cheat or break any rules. Why were they forced to go to a 3-4 instead of the 4-4 defense in which they submitted to the league at the beginning of the year and the AD has proof of this in emails. The Newcath coaches cried about it because as 90 percent running team they couldnt run the ball at the beginning of that game so they pulled some crap and made them switch defenses. Its on the idiot league directors as much as anyone for allowing this to happen. If there was concern why wasnt anything said last week when the two teams played? Could have been worked out before the playoff game but instead the Newport kids were cheated out of a fair game which is the sad part.

Ive never seen West play but Id have a hard time taking him over Trevor. Stellman was the real deal, I played with him some at TMC and watched a lot of his games there. He was a stud.

NCC 9 Newport 8 This is going to be a long post so let me start off by saying congrats to the NCC players. They played hard and played well, hats off to them. One of their players got his bell rung really hard on a punt return and hopefully he is ok and is able to play next week. Ok now on to the real issue. The league directors should be embarrased with themselves and Im not sure how the cowardly coaching staff at Newcath could sleep last night after the crap that they pulled. In the league at the beginning of the year each team is supposed to submit the offense that they run and the base defense along with the short yardage defense that they are going to run so each team has a little bit of a scouting report on the teams that they play. Newport has played a 4-4 base defense all year long and 6-2 in short yardage situations. The AD sent that to the league before the season started (she has emails to prove it) and played those defenses all year long including last week against NCC and there was no complaints at all. So last night after Newport shuts down the NCC offense on the first two possessions, the newcath coaching staff cried to one of the league directors that they were not playing the defense that they submitted. The league director at the game pulls out some paper showing that Newport runs a 3-4 defense when in fact they never have ran that and never even practiced it. So on NCC's 3rd possession of the game NMS had to call timeout and the coaches had to walk out there and set them up in a 3-4 since the kids had no idea what to do in it. NCC goes on to get a td on that same possession of course and NMS stayed in the 3-4 the remainder of the game. Newport went into every game blind this season and had no scouting report on the actual teams that they played. Just the big schools that arent even on the schedule. This is in no way sour grapes over the outcome of the game, this post was coming regardless of who won or lost. NCC won a great game last week fair and square and there were no complaints from NMS. This was a very cowardly move by the breds coaching staff to go all of last week with out saying a word and even the first two drives last night before doing this and the league directors should be ashamed that they let this go on.

NCC 36 Newport 28 Final in triple overtime. Good game, both teams meet again next week in the playoffs.

Newport just doesnt have the horses right now. They have some but not enough and it didnt help that NCC is a really solid team too. Cant imagine many teams in 2A being better than them right now.

Tichenor beat NCC last week. Not sure of a score though.

Newport 38 Sharp 0 Holmes 18 Brossart 0 Sounds like the small school playoff teams will be Newport, NCC, Tichenor, and CCH. Newport/NCC play at Newport this week in the regular season finale.
