[RUSH]

Cigars?

Victory cigars. 

Are those guys old enough to smoke?!

They didn't inhale. Ala slick willy.

With the 2015 season beginning today. This thread has served it purpose. So I will concluded it the same way I began it.

I posted this on the Jr. High board as well but for the benefit of those Ricebird fans that don't check out that board, the Jr. Birds beat P. Robinson 30-0 last night. And by all accounts they may be better than last year's undefeated team. The QB had a heck of a game.

Sorry for posting this on the high school board.

When those two classes are reunited in HS it is going to get rough for a lot of other teams.

I am guessing that when you post about your Jr. High team on the high school board, this means your Sr. High team is not doing too good.  At least you have something to look forward to in the future (unless some of them start to move to other schools).

People that brag about their "junior high dominance" usually are pretty void of anything to talk about at the high school level.

You mean those the same people who were dogging our Sophomore running back before he even played a game?

195 yards in game 1, 241 yards and 3 td's against Warren. I think he's acclimated to the high school game pretty well.

[PrivateLesson]

Good point.   Sometimes people say that because they respect the kids and school too much to be so critical.

He sounds like a hoss.  How big is this kid, and does he have D1 speed?  Sounds like the Hogs could use some help.

Right now he has good balance, vision and acceleration. He is what you hear people call a "one cut" runner.  He doesn't have high top end break away speed though. At least not yet.

You better hope he doesn't get hurt. Because after that, the ricebirds are mediocre at best.

I don't anyone to get hurt. The best player on defense is already out, probably for a few more weeks anyway.

I can't speak for anybody else but I'll try to explain my thoughts so everyone...
...As far as Warren is concerned, if you think that with losing 19 starters you'll still be in the mix to win the conference (as you stated earlier), just because of the magic of Bo then that's your deal. I just don't see it. I think you'll be 4th in the conference, possibly 3rd depending on the tiebreakers.


Is that clear enough? 

Clear enough, yes very clear.

Looks like I overestimated the rest of the 8-4A. I thought the conference would be better...especially Star City.

We all did

[LAfootball fan]

Don't know if you overestimated the conference or underestimated Warren.  The playoffs will help sort that out more.   Sometimes in conference results don't really show the strength or weakness until they start playing out of conference at the end of the year.  Last year there were several teams that were being touted as teams to watch that just tanked it in the playoffs and several that were so so that turned it on.   Will be interesting to see how Warren fares this year.  They are extremely young but they have some difference makers that can take over a game.
BTW, the sophomore rb at Stuttgart, if a pup is going to bite he will bite young.  He will be one to watch for sure.

SC can't defend the sweep or out routes!

Still undergoing treatment at St. Jude is what I'm hearing.

[AirWarren]

Prayers. Sometimes we all forget about the things that are more important than football.

True and to me it seems we are seeing it more and more with childhood cancer... Could be social media causing more awareness but it seems it is everywhere we go...  We have a boy at Shiloh fighting Neuroblastoma (played Pee Wee)... 

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Touching, prayers

Just an update: It seems this fine young man is not doing well in his battle with cancer. His family is calling for prayers from everyone.

[AirWarren]

Prayers to the family.

[Lumberjackfan1978]

Praying for this young man and his family now

[SUGARTOWN]

This young man, Price Hancock, went to be with the Lord yesterday. His family would appreciate your prayers. So very sad for the family and town.

[WPWells]

Prayers to the family. It's times like these when we remember that there are so many things bigger than football

[Bulldog92]

Prayers for the family!!

[Lumberjackfan1978]

I'm so saddened to here this news, I pray to the Lord to lift this family up and give them strength and comfort

[PA Dad]

Football is lots of fun but unimportant in the grand scheme of things.  My thoughts are with the family.

[panthers fan]

Prayers from Ashdown.

[bigchief72455]

So sorry for your loss. Its these times that really give us all perspective on what is truly important.
