One play does not decide the outcome of a game. However, the penalty being referenced, because of when (less than 6 minutes left in the game) and where (30 yards behind the play; moved the ball from the HHS 10 back to the PHS 15) it happened, had a huge impact on the game, because of the bad snap on the punt and safety that followed. Turned a PHS 8 point lead with HHS having to go 90 yards to possibly tie into a 6 point lead and 30 yards to go to tie and take the lead. Was it selfish? Probably. Was it unnecessary? Definitely.
Will there be changes at Piketon? Possibly, but I don’t know. Does there need to be changes? Not necessarily at the top, but maybe further on down. There have been some schematic changes due to injuries, but I feel they came a bit too late.
Can Piketon win Friday? I believe so. They will have to play as hard as they did against Huntington, and have few if any mistakes.
I GUARANTEE you that no one feels worse about that lack of judgement than the player himself. But that play didn’t change the outcome of the game. Our defense still failed to hold and our offense had I believe 2 opportunities after that to score and didn’t.
It’s going to take more than an 0-10 season to get rid of a coach that’s been in a program as long as him as it should. Tyler is a great dude and a solid coach. He’s not going anywhere. Wouldn’t hurt to get some upgrades done to the facilities and some help on the staff. No offense to any of the assistants I know most of you guys are volunteers and doing the best you can and we appreciate that. This has been a tough season for us all. Here’s to hoping we pull out the W at Zane Trace tonight!
Great effort by the boys last night. Plenty of opportunity to hang their heads and roll over but kept fighting. Backs hit the holes harder than I have seen all year which had our offense looking much better. 1 more week to work hard and try for one more.
I will have to give the whole team a big CONGRATULATIONS. That is what a battle looks like. That is what it looks like when we fire on all cylinders. Coaches, volunteer coaches and the WHOLE team. That was a good win, now let’s carry his over to that purple team up north. Let’s finish strong STREAKS
Great win for the streaks. I am looking forward to this game next week. Every time we go to piketon it is a battle regardless of how good either team is. Since I’ve moved here this has been the best game to go to. If all the svc schools I enjoy playing piketon the most, no bad blood there fans are good ppl never had any problems with them. Had a chance to speak with Tyler this year. Lot of respect for him and the way he coaches. I’m hoping we keep building on this recent momentum and play a strong game. Last time we came down here it was one of the best games I’ve ever seen. Hoping for a good game and a tanks win good luck to the streaks, I think you will catch some ppl off guard the next few years.
