Cabot vs Bryant

Homecoming for the Hornets. Can be a distraction. Not good to be playing a team as good as Cabot. Is Cabot going to be at full strength?

What kind of impression is Buck James making on the Hornet football team and in the community?

Panther's won't have Barnes. Hornets by 14+

Cabot's defense should be able to keep Bryant in check.... If the Panthers offense can hold on to the ball, and not kill itself.... it will be a good game.. I'm looking forward to watching this one.
From what I have seen this year, Cabot's run defense is as good as any team in the state.... the way Bryant has ran the ball this year, should be a slobber knocker.

Hope they have room for visitors with all the festivities!!

Cabot gets beat by Conway and barley beats Central. Is this because the star QB is out? If so, then Bryant takes this one. Possible scenario is that Bryant starts strong, then struggles but hangs on for the win.

Our visitors side is not huge but I have only seen a few teams come in a fill it up.

I can't speak for the community. I thought his starting with so many kids and not narrowing down on most positions was not the best way to go. It took half way through the season before he settled on a starting QB. We looked outclassed by both Northside and Fayetteville. You can see the kids are gaining confidence in the team and he is winning. I have to be patient. Calley is a good coach and a tough one to take over for.

If Barnes plays...Cabot wins...would have never thought a single player in 7A ball would have such an affect on a team...if Barnes is out Bryant wins....

Cabot=one trick pony

Does Cabot really only have one guy they can count on for offense?

Certainly seems to be the case

Cabot threw more passes in this game then they have in all the other games combined with Bryant. For most of the game instead of 3 yards of dust when they ran it was more like 1.5 yards. I guess one player can make a difference. Both Bryant's defense and offense have grown through the season. Our sophomore QB has a good arm and can deliver the short passes with good accuracy. He has the arm strength for the long pass but not quite the ability to hit the receiver in stride yet. Bryant has a running game but seemed to abandon it last night. I don't know if that was because of Cabot's defense or what.

Most of the passes were to Barnes who had 2 of their tds.

Coach Alley · October 22, 2016, 12:08:25 pm

My son and a teammate from the track team offered to help the teamost, but were told it was too late to join the team. The coaches could've used their speed, but I get why they told them they didn't want them.

Walter · October 22, 2016, 01:50:34 pm

Why did they not play him at QB? It is where the team needs him the most.

Their excuse was decreased lateral movement due to high ankle sprain,. I think Barnes is wanting to show he can play receiver since he won't be QB at UofA

Sounds like a good excuse for someone with a high ankle sprain! Barnes doesn't need to show anything. He already has his offer.

Go Cabot !

That's all a part of his plan and big picture. He's fair with everyone and will give everyone a chance until someone pulls away and wins the job. He want give in to politics. He will play the best player at that position or the player that should be playing. He doesn't give in to politics. He does what it takes to win. He puts the players in the best positions to succeed the rest is up to them. He does what it takes to win and improve young men as people and football players. As long as it's legal. Once his system is all the way in place you will see the results.
