Gov-33

I tip my cap to Coach B! You don't come across too many finer coaches, and you definitely don't come across a better all around person!

Let's also add on 3rd Team Parade All-American! http://www.parade.com/articles/editions/2008/edition_04-06-2008/4All_America_Boys_Basketball Congrats to Darius!

My point exactly...This is a different team without D-Miller...MC plays GREAT team ball, but take him away, and the 10th becomes that more competitive...GRC and Mont. Co. shouldn't take that as a slap in the face, because it's not (I completely respect their teams and their talent)... If I'm Coach O'Hearn, I want the ROCK in Darius' hand if the game is on the line...Pressure will bust a pipe EVERY TIME, not so much when he has the ball!!!

Possibly, but he is the "go-to-guy" on this team, just as C-Lo was a few years back...Without D-Miller, this team isn't nearly as good...Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking anything away from the rest of the team...Setty and Middleton complement Darius just as Dustin and Jarod complemented Chris...They go hand in hand...Take D-Miller away, and they ARE NOT a state championship team... Nice win tonight guys! :ylsuper:

From what I could tell, Russell played with two safeties most of the time and always with at least one. MC was actually 15/21 passing with three td's...Not too bad if you ask me! IMO, we have a great head coach and staff, and they do a wonderful job calling the plays! I stand behind Coach B. on all the plays he calls in. I think we are very fortunate to have a wonderful head coach and staff to help him out! We will compete year in and year out, and I don't think we can do much better with ANY other staff! Russell is a quality football team....Always have been and always will be! As long as this district stays the way it is, with a few exceptions, it will always be MC and Russell playing for a district title and fighting to move on to the regionals! We had two classic battles this year, and I don't think things will change! My hat goes off to the Royals on a nice season! Best of luck to the Red-Devils!

Appreciated, but he wasn't nearly the tail-back that Gary, Nathan, Caine, or Brad were.....Not even close, but again, the comment is duly appreciated... (he was a little better with the "bat & ball".....) Gary Green, Caine Hughes, and I have to add in Gaylon Thomas would have absolutely flourished under Mason County's current head coach and system.....These guys were very good, and that might be an understatement, because all three could have been GREAT under better coaching......:thumb: Gov.......

Don't know ya, don't really care. PH and I are at EVERY single Mason Co. football game, not only because we HAVE to be there, but because we WANT to be there!!! There are many opinions expressed on this board, and granted each and everyone of us are entitled to them. Just because I feel that it is pointless to provide a prediction or opinion on each and every thread concerning Mason Co. (I mean come on guys, is there really a need to predict scores for the Rowan Co. game? No offense to the Vikings....). And yeah, I'll be flat out honest, some of the Mason Co. posts (not necessarily posters) on this board ARE embarrassing!!! Mason Co. football has come a long way, and we all should and ARE proud of the boys and staff for what they have done. Each and every one of us should and have pride for our team, but sometimes this pride goes too far and sometimes makes us sound like we are conceited fans. If I'm coming off as negative, than I apologize, but as someone who takes Mason Co. sports from an UNBIASED, HOLISTIC view, this is simply my opinion and how I see things. And I know, I know, opinions are like that little round orfice on our back sides, WE ALL HAVE THEM!!!! I just think some stink worse than others........... :flame: :scared:

Can I get an amen from the congregation???!!!
