Yeah the big kid was a good back. Pretty slow though. Nothing compares to Parks' explosiveness and strength.

They were doing pretty good stopping Parks. I thought I saw him play defense the next series, maybe it wasn't him though. I saw Broady ask in another thread how he was, I don't think it was that serious. It looked like a hammy, or a knee sprain. They couldn't do anything with that big back. We can't stop a big back. We were lucky to win with all the penalties and mistakes. Good job to both teams though.

Went to this one (elp6n was doing the Coalfield coverage). Dandy game. Robbins really impressed me. Had a good time talking to Coeburn Cane and his better half (have to look long and hard to find better folks).

And to back up my posts about bad apples, several folks from GC really made [censored] out of themselves at this one-women screaming f-bombs, a fan having to be pulled away from the refs after unleashing a flurry of vulgarity that would make a sailor blush, not to mention the crap that elp6n had to deal with on the GC sidelines (moved to Clintwood side to take pics, and things were much better)

Jason: I see what you were saying: I have never seen fewer and weaker GC fans-was in disbelief. You had 5 in the crowd corner begging the fans to get off their [censored] and cheer on the boys. Had 4th-down plays where the crowd should have been up urging the defense, and it was so quiet I could have heard the blades of frozen grass crinkle if I had sprinkled on them. I have never seen a GC team not block either till tonight.

Robbins or Robinson? Robinson is number 8. Robbins is the kicker. They both played extremely well.

Keep in mind I'm a PHS graduate and have no attachment in any shape or form to CHS or GCHS. These observations come from me being on completely neutral ground.

I heard from the GC side words that should never be spoken in public. I heard women cuss like sailors. I heard a man threaten the ref - called him everything in the book, plus a few I'd never heard. I photographed him mid-rant. I should post his pic so he can be outed lol. I heard GC coaches and players calling the refs "clintwood refs" it was all "homecooking" "crooked refs." I told Indian_Dad I think I heard the GC fans/players/coaches yell "home cooking" no less than 947 times in the first half.

When you're standing on the field working, and the people immediately behind you (and women at that) are screaming obscenities in both your ears, that's too much. I personally am one to let people know I'm offended by their behavior and I did as such tonight.

I dont know if all I saw/heard while on the GC is appropriate for public but if I was from GC I'd be completely ashamed. Unfortunately the kids are learning and starting to emulate this behavior.

I did move to the CHS after the half and the only issue I had was working around the coaches who tended to hang out on the field, and trying to stay out of the endzone, where the finer GC fans with the "fine vocabulary and great social skills" were hanging out.

I will explain one more observation: End of the 4th. 14-14. CHS is on their feet, players amped up, everyone yelling..... and GC fans sitting with their hands in their laps. Way to get your team worked up guys.... [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wall.gif[/img]

I thought I saw you out there with a red sweater on.

I heard the same kind of comments in the little league baseball field parking lot after the game. A big gaggle of them spouting off, cursing, making complete fools of themselves. Luckily (for them), they had nothing to say to me. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Dang, I wish I'd been with you.

It was just little old me in green. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'm glad to see you kept your clothes on, as it was suggested you'd be streaking. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The guy that called the ref everything in then book and then some apparently had to be restrained from getting to the ref & then carted off by law enforcement.
