Eagle'01

How often does Highlands do this? I know they are working on things that they may need to use in a close game but seems they could work on that during practice not when they are already up 28-0. No disrespect to Highlands or their coaching staff, just wondering how often this has happened and how the other teams react?

:laugh:

If JC runs the ball the way they are capable of and keeps the "time of possesion" in their favor then Ashland will have a tough time pulling this one out at the friendly confines of "The Nest". This game will be electric and a lot of emotion will be shown from both team's players and fans... we must remember if us JC supporters have been waiting this long for this game to roll around again just think how bad Matney and the Golden Eagles want this one. Hopefully Friday night we will be hearing a lot of this... "Touchdown Golden Eagles!!!" JC - 28 Ashland - 10

I agree with you totally on JC not being able to beat Bell or Rock and that's even if JC gets that far. They could possibly get ousted again in the first round... I hope not but it is a possibility. But is JC does meet with Rock or Bell which will happen if they get to the regional championship I think it would be a great game against either on of those teams.

Gotcha! :thumb:

What type of injury is he suffering from?

I'm not trying to put words in your mouth... you just seem to have a firm opinion on JC and a very negative one at that. Have you ever seen them play?

You are dead on there... Coach Matney is a heck of a motivater.

I disagree with you on your last statement... I don't think to be considered as good as some of our fans think we are we have to give Highlands or Cov Cath. a battle. To be considered succesful JC doesn't have to turn into a Highlands and win a state championship every year. Just because we cheer on our team and our excited about the year we are having this season doesn't mean we think we are the cream of the crop in 3A football. Heck, Highlands and Cov Cath would beat any 4A school besides the big 3. Not saying JC wouldn't or couldn't beat Highlands or Cov Cath, I just don't think succes should be measured by whether or not you beat Highlands or Cov Cath... Westsider your team must have some pretty high standards if that's how you measure success.

Maybe Tom Lemming needs to find a different career. j/k! :lol: Couch was a great high school quarterback but man he was a bust in the NFL

I don't think many people have ever shyed away from the fact that JC has played a weak schedule so far and that they still have a question mark by their name. I haven't, JC has the next two game to either shut people up and gain respect or fold like they have before and make the critics voices louder.

Have to agree with on that one... another funny thing with his stats, it says he is averaging 254.6 ypg but only 1 touchdown. :confused: Not likely!!!

Brohm could end up being the best quarterback ever to come out of the state of Kentucky after it is all said and done... but as far as him being considered one of the best football/basketball player's ever in the state I just don't see it. I actually saw him basketball a few times he was more of a "big body" than impact player, IMO.

JC still has to play a very good Ashland team and a Mason Co. team that played Ashland very tough. JC still has to finish the season out against two solid teams. It's not like they are finishing the season with two Pop Warner teams. I really think the game against Ashland will be a good indicator of if we can beat solid teams.

No one including myself in this thread was bragging about the first place vote, I was just stating that they received one. Who knows maybe this year we can beat some of those "solid teams" "when it counts", and justify being rated high in the "all-so important" Ap poll.

Yea.

I completly agree with you on that. "To be the man you have to beat the man" attitude is the attitude both JC and Ashland should take into consideration when they are scheduling teams. With JC's program on the rise and Ashland already established both these schools could have really tough schedules and still have very good records come season's end.

I now think JC will be able to find stronger teams to play starting with next years schedule. They have 5 - 6 open slots on their schedule for next year and hopefully a strong finish to the season this year will help draw them some attention from better football programs. T-Cat4Life, I wasn't trying to get the whole JC V. Ashland debate started with my last post. I understand what you were trying to say by putting Ashland in there. Hope my last quote wasn't taken the wrong way. :thumb:

I don't think I would put Ashland in with the other three teams you mentioned when it comes to playing good teams. No disrespect to Ashland but,those three play three of the harder schedules in the whole state... although I will admit Ashland's schedule is much tougher than JC's this year it is nowhere near Highlands, Cov Cath, or Lex Cath this year or any year IMO.

Thanks Watusi!

Couldn't agree with ya more. :thumb:

Congrats to Trimble Co. Hope your good fortune and winning ways continue.

And you have every right to post a statement like that because of JC's recent failure's early in the playoffs. But, this year is a different team with a different attitude and they will change people's opinoin's on JC football in the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about winning a state title or anything like that but they will put up a respectable showing this year.

The 2006 team has much more speed and depth... but, in "hit ya in the mouth" toughness I believe the 2000 team possesed much more of that than this years team. Although I still think this years team would come away with the victory. 2006 Eagles - 35 2000 Eagles - 21

Sorry guys that was my mistake when I created the thread. It is the 2000 team not the 2001 team. Thanks for catching that quickly xyience.
