I take it that you're not a fan of the Lucas's?

we cant get enough points to make playoffs so we schedule finney who were 1-9 last year and well not real good this year and it seems we havent beat a team with a winning record for a while.and you cant really blame big dad hes just there doesnt really coach much. as well as the other coaches they are just there. so if you are going to do everything then you get the blame as well as the credit if you could beat someone to deserve any. i will say this if valley staff had the grove kids. they would have beat his team by 40

[Docw]

I will say this, our kids are successful at the biddy league level and junior high but that success is not carried over to high school.

THIS SHOULD BE A DANDY GAME.

From what I read the Rams struggled in their shutout win over Green Up County yesterday.

Should be a good game with the Rams posting the win.

i see the raceland game like this. if raceland throws cg will play off 10 yard and let them play pitch and catch. our defense coordinator wont mix it up and may bump them at the line some. raceland will hit some big plays. if grove gets down they will panick and go to the vaunted spread and turn it over . at half raceland will adjust and make a couple more big plays. cg grove will adjust and well i take that back havent seen us adjust at half and make a difference in a game for awhile. basically another loss to a team with a winning record. maybe when can the league one last time before ironton and portmouth take over. since the ovc may have 10 wins combined. sometimes you have to realize maybe your not good enough or that you need a lot of good help.and im talking about jay and the the shadow staff not the players

Grove needs this win!!

LOL u promoting all these L2 points sounds like u may be scared of the valley game !!!! hint hint

[BurgGrad6]

Man its hs football anything can happen. Lol I think wheelersburg is a better team than valley and they should win, however valley has had burgs number the last few years!

[BurgGrad6]

Also if cg wants to make the playoffs they need this win!

The last 3 years 8) , and if we get our two 300 pounders back (2 starting lineman who have yet to play this year) we will be fine...alllll that aside.

Good Luck Grove...one of us will need the L2's!

No need for us to thread jack, I didn't say we would win...I said we will be fine, and we will..

Back on topic.

cg problem with points : we dont get many points from the teams we beat because they dont beat anybody. and we cant beat anybody that we could get points off of. :meaning we cant beat anyone with a winning record. thats gettnrdone jay. all before i forget think the grove could take time to practice a little tackling. i know its not that important but u know just in case we need it. why do the kids that come in as freshman seem to want and know how to hit and by the time they are seniors they forget. hmmm. could be after 4 years its taken out of them.the jr high scores yoy heard friday night were just like these seniors in jr high. dont know why they get worse in 4 years. Hey that jr high coach isnt interested in moving up is he?

I am going to hopefully answer some of your questions seeing I am the one usually on here with these complaints.

1. I agree with everything you say, if you look back at this senior classes Jr. High season, you would see that they rolled Lucasville that year, so the talent is the same what changes, could be coaching.

2. You mentioned in an earlier post why don't we ever make adjustments during the games, this is an easy one to answer, you would have to know what is going on in the game to make adjustments, it's pretty sad that during the Valley game Jay called a timeout and a kid in the student section yelled that was the best call you made all night.

3. As for tackling, I have been on this topic for 5 years, and the answer I keep getting is that they boys don't even hit during practice due to fear of lawsuits if someone gets hurt, I don't buy this answer but that is what I am told.

The may problem is the lack of respect that the players have for the coaching staff as a whole, but what do you expect when a player pushes a coach and is not only still on the team but starting.






As for this weeks game, I feel the Hornets can win this game is they just correct the small mistakes they are making, if they don't then it will be a blowout.
