  1. Yes Johnson played the whole game at RB for HV but he was at 75% at best and it was evident. The second team running back for HV did not suit up. Denton played 3 series at the most at QB. With that said, Marshall's replacements played better than Hallsville's. Disappointing loss.
  2. Austin Toney (sp). He is a move in. Tall rangy kid that has an excellent touch with the pass. Runs the ball decent as well. IMO could be the starter nnext year.
  3. Hallsville's JV is without their starting QB and without 5 or 6 others that are on varsity. The are a few sophs on JV that will be starting on varsity next year. Plenty of talent in the system for the future for Hallsville also.
  4. Yes, that would be him. He missed the JT game and had only one carry against WH. Hopefully he will be back against Marshall.
  5. It is "games played" not "games attended". If you do not play or carry the ball how can it affect your yardage?
  6. I have seen a lot of good backs this year, and while not trying to be a homer, I would have to put Quantrell Johnson, of Hallsville, near the top of the list. Unfortunately a high ankle sprain has put a damper on his senior season. Johnson catches the ball well out of the backfield and has the speed and elusiveness to get away from people and when needed the power to run someone over.
  7. What about the new Jack in the Box commercial? Jack is home either visiting his mom or grandmother and they are sitting at the table talking when a egg-headed shaped character interupts the conversation and says that it has been 4 hours and that they should call a doctor. Whats up with that? I know what is implied but what does that have to do with selling burgers? Does it take sexual innuendos to now sell hamburgers?
  8. I do believe that we have played in Marshall more often due to re-alignment that got it out of sync. Also not sure if we played in Marshall one year due to the construction on the HV field. Could be wrong but it seems like we have played in Marshall more often since Marshall dropped to 4A. Sharing the visitors side with the Marshall band and some students is not quickly forgotten.
  9. That would be Western Days and it took place last week. It has been going on for about 30 years now. There is a street dance after the game, a parade Saturday morning with arts and crafts booths during the day, a chili cook-off and a Civil War re-enactment. Saturday night they have the Miss Hallsville pageant. Before the game Friday night, preceding the Miss Hallsville contest, they introduce the contestants. Nothing to do with football!
  10. Just like the HV vs WH thread; it was quiet also. There was a HV vs JT thread started before HV played CH and suffered all of the injuries. Historically the HV and Marshall games have been fairly competitive, for the most part, with Marshall usually coming out ahead. And it always seems that the game is played in Marshall! HV introduced the soph LB, Ferrell, as a running back late in the game against WH last week and he did well considering he had already played the entire game at LB. And yes, WH had at least the 2nd defense in by then and HV had their 2nd OL in there as well. Nonetheless he has always been a great running back in the 8th grade and part of his 9th grade year before being moved up to varsity as a LB. It will be interesting to see what HV does at LB if they choose to play him more at RB. Not sure what the injury report is but hopefully all of the players are mending and will be able to contribute in some way. HV just needs to make some plays early on to gain some confidence. The talent is there it just needs to surface. Hopefully the 'Cats will regroup and put forward a strong effort against the Mavs. Sorry, no prediction, just looking forward to another game.
  11. Cochran is a good sport too. He usually helps his victim up off of the ground and gives them a little pat on the butt or head. He is a good kid (man).
  12. I think that the injuries have caused HV to lose some confidence. We are more than capable to win with what we have we just need to believe that we can.
  13. The whistle really did not blow until the game was well out of hand and the subs were in for both teams. A lot of procedures and holding that went un-checked.
  14. Prayers from Hallsville. Puts complaining about a loss or bragging about a win into perpsective when things like this happens.
  15. WH is good, they had "everything" going their way tonight. That is all I will say about that. The two D1 talents on the field tonight showed their worthiness. Metemoyer for WH is an outstanding receiver; great hands, excellent body control, good speed; the full package. The players that lined up against Cochran will be embarassed watching the game field since they were completely dominated all night long. OU and UT will be getting two good ones.
  16. Soph starting LB is now at RB.. Will be starter next year at RB. Horribly officiated game.
  17. Maybe there will be a bit to talk about after the game? I believe that HC23 is going to provide some type of updates throughout the game if you can't make it or pick it up on radio. Be there early; they are introducing the Miss Hallsville contestants before the game. I have be there for that acting as an escort. Fun. Pray for a fun and SAFE game.
  18. Marilyn Monroe doesn't do it for me. For a 1950's era actress I have to go with Audrey Hepburn.
  19. The starting QB for HV JV is still injured. Number 7 is doing a fine job filling in at QB. The only freshman on the team is 22 the RB
  20. This game is kind of like being the new kid in school and you invite everyone to your birthday party. You prepare for the party but you do not know who, if anyone, will show up. The excitement is there just do not know how to direct it. Not knowing much about WH and the ongoing injury situation at HV it is hard to make any bold statements. Of course the players that are playing for HV are more than capable of performing well.
  21. Too much bravado on the part of a lot of Pee Wee coaches. The idea of the louder that you yell the more effective you are simply does not work. Plus the game is more involved than just yelling and hitting. I coached or helped coach my son as he was going through Pee Wee football. There was one coach whose favorite drill was the bull-in-the-ring. It was not a tight circle either; the kid in the middle was probably 7 to 10 yards away from the nearest person. Now when in football does a person just stand there and wait for someone to come to them at full speed? Besides, at that age group you have a large variation in the sizes of the kids. The "head" coach loved the drill because it was all about hitting. I eventually was able to get that drill eliminated. There should be some type of screening process for competency!
  22. Prayers from Hallsville. Praying gets results. Get well soon!
  23. 69 Ford half ton pickup. Bought it in 83. Baby blue with white wagon wheel rims. 240 straight 6 with 3 speed on the column. No A/C. Almost purchased a 52 Chevy pickup to fix up but bought the Ford instead. Was going to fix it up too but too much sports and girlfriend got in the way. My brother eventually got my truck and re-painted it a darker blue and put a 302 in it and converted it to floor shift. He used to run it some at the Hallsville Dragstrip back when it was still open. It is now at my parent's house.
  24. Yes it is amazingly quiet considering that there was a HV vs JT topic started BEFORE Hallsville played CH! I guess that is what a series of injuries will do for you. Injuries puts aside any pre-season or pre-game prognostications. The game is still on the schedule so it will be played. I am not sure who will be back from the injured list yet but it really doesn't matter becuase whoever suits up will have to play. The replacements did a decent job against a very good JT team and I look for them to only improve this week against WH. D. Taylor, the RB, received a lot of carries last year when Johnson was injured as well. He did well against JT and I look for him to have some of the rust gone and do even better this week. Hopefully the passing game will be in a little more sync this week as well. The defense will be fine albeit young. Looking forward to a good game at home. Sorry, no prediction on the victor.
  25. Thanks. She called me initially at 8:45 this morning to let me know. She was upset at the time because she could not find her roommate; her roommate was locked down in a classroom and my daughter was in her dorm. The lock down was lifted around 12:15 this afternoon even though the campus remains closed. Fear turned to anger with my daughter at the thought of "crazy people" out there. She is OK now. The school handled this very well. Each student received a text message on their phones immediately as well as an e-mail alerting of the situation. When she was on the phone with me you could hear the campus warning sirens going off and hear announcements over the loudspeakers warning of the situation. I understand that students at other Texas campuses received an alert as well just in case there were any copycats out there. I am glad that it ended somewhat safely (excluding the suicide).
