I agree. ther've been times on my way to the game i've turned on the radio for the pre-game only to hear music still being played. It's just very inconsistent. How long has KISS 107.1 been doing the games?

Thanks. as for the radio announcers, I've heard better and I've heard worse. My wife was listening to the game at home and said that on the extra point block they were going so nuts, that she couldn't tell what happened. I enjoy an announcer who gets excited, but call the play first and let us know what happened before you lose it.

Line guys, rb's wr's, qb, ?

ON OFFENSE, HOW MANY GUYS DO YOU LOSE TO GRADUATION?

NHS - I AGREE BOTH TEAMS PLAYED THEIR HEART OUT. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES I'VE SEEN IN A LONG TIME. I THINK THE DIFFERENCE (IF THERE WAS ONE) WAS EXPERIENCE. FOR OUR SENIORS THIS WAS THEIR 4TH TIME IN 4 YEARS IN THE REGION FINALS AND THIS WILL BE THEIR 3RD TIME IN 4 YEARS TO MAKE THE FINAL 4. YOU SIMPLY CANNOT REPLACE THAT EXPERIENCE WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO CRUNCH TIME. RUSSELL KEPT THEIR POISE AND WHEN THEY HAD TO PASS, SENIOR TOMMY BROWN FOUND HIS RECIEVERS. YOUR QB JJ. HESCH IS ONE EXCELLENT LEADER AND I LOOK FOR GREAT THINGS FROM YOU GUYS NEXT YEAR. ONCE AGAIN CONGRATS TO NEWPORT ON A GREAT SEASON AND GO RUSSELL. LET MAKES THE 3RD TIME THE CHARM. DEFEND THE TURF AND LETS GO TO THE PIZZA TURF.

I expect because of the weather that if they do want to pass they will try to dink and dunk the short passes. Those passes tend to come in softer and make them easier to catch, but I agree that the Db's need to make sure they are in the right place to dislodge, break up or punish the receivers. I've also been told that their quarterback is good at improvising on broken plays, so I expect Coach Morris to have his d'ends containing him in the pocket, much like we did against Fleming.

That is true, my hope is that we can jump out early, create a nice cushion and then let our offense just grind out the clock and play keep away. I'm not into making predictions, so I'll just stick to making observations.

Any more news about moving the game to a different field? I know that a couple of years ago, we moved one of our playoff games to a different field because ours was in bad shape as well from previous weeks of rain games. I don't know if KHSAA made us or we did it on our own. But if we do have to play, we only need to remember last years game at Belfry and their field conditions. As we all know it will be extremely important to hold onto the ball. Take the yards they give us, but the RB's and QB's must MUST put 2 hands on the ball and cover it up and hold on, because I'm sure Newport will be trying to strip it all night (just as we should)

Big Daddy. How much room is there on the visitors side? Do we need to bring our own seating? Also can you get to the stadium from I-471?
