4THQUARTER

IMO this game was great in all areas. Both these teams have great kids and class act coaches. This one was fun to watch!

I heard it too! I guess they are going to try and power up the middle. I don't know how effective it will be since it didn't work much for them last year.

Bear, you might want to check and see if someone hacked your computer because you actually picked Creek to win. I might faint!!!!!

Chucking????? This team is improving weekly. MC is a very solid football team and Creek was the underdog. I look for Creek to keep improving and peak when they need to. As for the homer calls...whatever. These two teams were going at it the first half. As for a "power running team" comment, I think Harmon knows what he is doing.

I give Creek the edge being at home. 28-21

Great win for Station. I haven't seen them yet, but I heard they are loaded.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is a young team with a new system and it will take a little time, but Harmon is an excellent coach and will get the ball rolling! It definately was a fun game to watch (even without a win), and there were some good things happening on the field for the Creekers.

That remains to be seen. They looked pretty good against a team that some are predicting will go undefeated. I was impressed.

After speaking to a few insiders I was told that 1st team vs. 1st team 0-0. 2nd vs. 2nd 7-0 TC. All of PC scores came against either freshman or fresh/jv mix. PC varsity did not score. I don't think they even got inside the 20. The TC players that did not play were for injuries or discipline.

Everyone got reps. TC played 3 qbs and rotated throughout. When the TC varsity and PC varsity played it was 0-0. TC freshman got beaten by PC JV. Creek looked great.

Couldn't agree more.

Coach Howell was offensive coordinator last year. Under Harmon he was a position coach.

I wouldn't say that they all teach classes. And I am sure the pay isn't that big of difference compared to other districts. I am just wondering what the real problem is at PLD. The only ones that can answer that question are the other coaches around the state. I can't imagine why this wouldn't be an attractive opportunity for someone with experience..??.

Surely the athletic director has someone in mind. I can't imagine that they do not have an idea as to who they want. Most programs have a handful of prospects in mind at the onset of the application process. Good luck to them though...I hear it is rough over there.

Dunbar is an attractive opening. They could be awesome if they get the right person in there.

It is business as usual at both schools. Harmon and his staff are already in place at TC and there are several coaches still remaining at LHS continuing their program.

Ram, you are right.

There is absolutely no other way to respond to this thread w/o addressing the "debate". Just open it up and let the fur fly!!!!

Honestly what you just said is on the mind of every coach in the city. He has left Lafayette in great shape and looking to be the team in town this year. He and his staff are incredible at what they do. He is known for his motivational skills, so I am sure he will get the kids on the field.

You are absolutely right. IMO this has to be one of the toughest jobs in the state. The pressure with the expectation has to be intense. I have always thought Coach Pardue did a great job there. It had to be rough following a "living legend".

The success or failure of either team comes down to what kind of staff he can put together. I know the Horsemen staff is a good one, his Lafayette staff was a good one and I expect his TC staff to be a good one. I see no problems. I have been told that former Horsemen head coach Mike Zuckerman will be joining the TC staff.... thats a pretty good start.

Bear, you were on the right track. Harmon has always had strong ties at Creek. He is a legacy so to speak. From what I understand, he had a hard time with this one due to his strong loyalty to the boys that played for him at Lafayette. Lafayette will be fine this year and whomever takes over this team has a great foundation laid for him. Hopefully, Harmon will work his magic at TC and return them to their former dominance. When you look at it, he lives in that district and that is where his kids will go to school so the move makes sense. Best of luck to both Lafayette and Tates Creek this year.

Sorry boys, Lafayette is loaded this year.:eek:
