Piketon is struggling to get all the pieces back together as a whole team. There is a lot of young players that have stepped up and played this year, along with some of the SR’s and Jr’s. If you look at the big picture of the past 3 games, you see that they are getting better and playing better football. I think they put together 4 quarters of football this Friday night and get the job done. They do this on a field that screwed them 3 years ago. GO STREAKS. On a personal note : I feel sorry for the seniors on this team, they were let down by their fellow classmates! They chose to sit in the stands on Friday nights instead of putting in the hard work and standing with the TEAM on that field. I felt the pain last Friday, when a selfish player changed the outcome of that game by doing something incredibly stupid. I feel for the coaching staff who work so hard during the week to prep and prepare the kids for the following football game. These coaches who give everything from time away from their families, money from their pocket and emotional support to those kids. Then only to be bashed by parents sitting in OUR stands and on social media like this fourm. Yes … everyone hears you and sees what you type. I AM A PIKETON REDSTREAK…I BLEED RED AND GRAY. I SUPPORT OUR SCHOOL AND THE COACHES. STEP UP OR STEP OUT.
I was surprised with our defense holding Huntington to 24 points. If our defense plays like that I could see a low scoring game that we could pull off. If we see the defense from the previous 7 games ZT could put up 35+ Gonna need to keep this game in the high teens low 20’s to pull it off imo
Just because I predict piketon to lose doesn’t mean I want them to or hope they do. I’m just giving my best guess to what I think the end score will be. I’m still cheering just as hard for them to win.
Maybe I’m reading this incorrectly but how are the seniors being let down by kids in the stands? I do t get that at all.
What did the selfish player do that was incredibly stupid? Does that kid not sacrifice his time from his friends and family, take away valuable homework time, workout, battle in practice and games for the Red and Gray? You get on here to apparently go after some bashing parent and then also single out a kid (whom I assume everyone from Piketon knows who you are speaking of)…aren’t you doing similar to what you are so upset about?
Very true, but if you look at the number of post probably won’t even see a reply from the individual. Probably a parent with a senior on the team would be my guess. Yes, some of your seniors decided they didn’t want to play and wanted to focus on other things, Grooms got caught up having to miss 1st-5 games and didn’t play. At the beginning of the year everyone in Piketon was talking about how fine they were and play with what you have, you can’t sit here now and blame kids for deciding not to play. It is not their fault the team is 0-8 and it’s the Piketon Redstreaks as a whole coaches to players no one is singled out, it’s just a rough year for them kids sitting in the stands didn’t get make them that way. Unfortunately given the way the season has gone I’m afraid it will probably cost Piketon more then just wins once it’s all said and done from what I’m hearing. Good Luck to the boys who have stuck it out and fought every Friday night remember this year, work hard in the weight room and prepare in the offseason for 2019.
As far as this game goes ZT takes this one by 2 scores.
I fear if Piketon is not able to get a win these last two weeks, things may get interesting in Redstreak country this offseason… I know people are already starting to talk in the community of changes needing to be made. I hate to hear that, because there are so many factors that go into being successful or unsuccessful as a program. But as many know, the majority of people like to point in one direction when things are bad. I just hope they are able to get thru this season and move forward in whatever way possible.
In this case it’s more along the lines of where there’s smoke there’s fire. This is being said by different groups around the area not just couple upset parents, people are waiting to see how it unfolds come end of the year.
