Hope at PA

Not sure what a pab is, but I suggest some pepto for your sickness.   Not hiding behind a keyboard either.
Truth is I wanted to see that guy play because of all the hype and him going to the UA, but he disappointed me by his lack of effort.  But more importantly, he let his teammates down.  Every other Bobcat played with heart and full steam.   

Oh and I just found out what a pab is, and you too make me laugh.

Before we talk about young men and not being "good enough for the UofA" a few years ago one Hunter Henry refused to ply his position on on side kicks and wanted nothing to do with Batesville's hard hitting D in a playoff game.
Mr Henry is now the top rated TE in college football. - don't let one define an 18 year old kid. I wasn't at this game, but I am sure the player from Hope will learn from his experience and blossom into a helluva player.

Anyone that thinks Agim is lazy and he is not as advertised has very limited football knowledge. With some of the crap some of you say on here I really wish you would man up and post you real name and not hide behind a username

Great game last night and PA is aa advertised. The rb #28 really blow me away. i think we are still tryna find him this morning. You guys have a very good team that is very hard to beat. we forced 5 TO lastnight but only got 7pts out of it. Not makeing a excuse because you guys did what u had to do to win but our off played its worst game of the year. Idk if it was because we lost our best ath on off #9 Lawson who torn his MCL in the Blytheville game but our off just seemed out of sync to me. #1 Briggs had a heck of a game and tried to pick up the slack but it just wasnt enough. Again hats off to a great PA team on the win. I think ill be back in the rock next week for thst PA vs LRCA game.

Classy post.  Thanks.

Yes awful sportsmanship...and I can see how they make it so far.

Honest question.  How were the PA fans, players or coaches poor sports?

Every team seems to have its bad apples, but I think the PA fans, players and coaches strive hard to be respectful of opponents and to be good sports.  If we have failed in that endeavor, please tell us how so we can try to do better.

His idea of poor sportsmanship is PA putting 78 points on his ready-for-the-SEC defense. He will get over it just like 99% of most teams

When Hope came to WH Agim was impressive. That being said. Between plays he didn't get in any hurry. I don't think I ever saw him run on or off the field. Thats not a knock on the kid. Take it for what you will. Just noting that I've read people say he looked gassed when in reality he just doesn't get in any hurry apparently.

[PA Dad]

I just saw the stats on Jaren Watkins last night.  16 carries for 278 yards.  Pretty impressive.

[Youngsta71701]

Was this a football game of a basketball game?! My God!

[tigers14]

What was the yardage total for both teams? Also what is PA's record for yards in a game?

[Complete Biased PoV]

I believe PA set a new school yardage record and points record with 840+ yards of offense and the 78 points.

[tigers14]

Wow, has #15 picked up any offers?

[PA Dad]

Wow, has #15 picked up any offers?

Yes.  He has offers from Army, Air Force and one other school (I can't remember).  And I think Memphis is showing interest.

You called it much better than I did.  I really didn't see it being a mercy rule game.

I have a feeling if Mr. Agim wants to get your QB'S jersey dirty he will.

He must not have wanted to.

PA, has anyone besides Hope scored in the 50's on PA this year? This seems like it was a heck of game.

[MB Hog]

Great game!  I was truly impressed with Hope's QB and at least a couple of the receivers.  Those guys came down with several catches that PA seemed to have covered.  The Hope running game didn't do much, and that may have been the biggest difference in the game.

On defense, the defensive ends are huge, but the middle was very porous as both Jaren Watkins (28) and Tre Bruce (15) ran up the middle at will.

Gotta give credit to Hope for never giving up.  PA came close to mercy ruling them before the half, but Hope got a late TD to keep the clock from beating them.  They came out in the second half and refused to let PA get that magic 35 point margin until early in the 4th.  I think that's the first home game this season that we didn't mercy rule by halftime or very early in the 3rd.

Regarding Agim, he has all the tools, but I think he has too much of a load to play full throttle every play.  Get him at UA and they will get him the breaks he needs to stay fresh.  And even though he looks like he is in great shape, I'm sure UA can get him to a higher level of fitness.

Glad we made it through that one.  LRCA game will be interesting, too.

Hope scored the most points scored against PA this year - 44.  Hope's last touchdown was against the PA JV.  Warren scored 40, but I  think 2 of those scores were against the JV.

I was impressed with Hope's offense.  Hope has some really good receivers who caught balls when they were well covered and it looked like the DB had a chance to intercept.

It's pretty sad Agim played def end his entire career.  Should have been at MLB and FB.  Don't believe me just ask any coach in 5a

He's not in good enough shape to do it.

He blocked the first extra point. Many of the XP later in the game he didn't even move at the snap.

Redleg, I was at that game and nothing and I mean nothing is farther from the truth about Hunter Henry. Batesville won the game and outplayed PA that night. But, I watched HH throughout high school and the kid was a real player and fighter. He gave great effort and was dominate almost every game I watched him in high school. I saw him go across the middle numerous times and take big time hits and get right up. Kid was something. Batesville is to be commended for their win a few years ago but HH wasn't afraid or quit or choose not to be on the kicking team. For some reason that night Kelly didn't throw to him a lot.

Maybe HH was sick, but he looked like he totally gave up that night on his team. That's just my opinion.

I was there too and strongly disagree.

There is nothing wrong with disagreeing. I'm just calling it as several fans and I saw it that night.

I was surprised that night that they did not try to go to HH more, though the Pioneers certainly had him covered as well as possible.   The winning ingredients that night were pressure on the PA QB, recovering every onside kick and an exceptionally dominant Pioneer O-Line who allowed the Pioneers to control the clock.

Batesville was the first team all that year to recognize that PA was undersized at the nose position and attack up the middle where PA was relatively soft (and had the tools to do it...big mobile lineman and downhill runners). All year opposing teams would try to run wide where PA had large and mobile D ends. And Batesville's D pressure forced a number of turnovers. Credit to Batesville coaching staff and players that game
