UHS had a chance to tie under two and a half minutes left but the 2pt conversion play was a disaster. I have no idea what they were trying to do, a QB sweep or a rollout pass fuck if I know.

Just ugh. Central is not a terrible team, but this is game Union should have won. But it was won on excitement to play and being focused and energized, not talent level. UHS looked dead after the half (AGAIN) and Central was fired up. That made quite a difference. UHS may have pulled this one off at home (not because of bad officiating or whatever, just because its easier to win at home) but you cant get on the road, miss two 2pt conversions, turn the ball over inside the 10 on downs and win.

GC comes to town next week, I dont know what to expect. Beat VHS, lose to Central; play Richlands close, play close with Lebanon. I have no idea what to expect out of that team, and that is not a positive.

I disagree. Take away the busted punt play TD by Baker and a costly Central fumble as we're driving to go up by 2TDs (only to see Union take advantage and score-14point swing when a Warrior TD may have well laid the Bears down),and this game is not nearly as close. To say that Union should have won? Not tonight. The better football team was Central tonight

What was the deal with that? It made no sence in the text I got.

Did I say Union should have won? Did I say Union was the better team tonight?

Union is a more talented team, nobody will dispute that. But Central was more focused and ready to play and that won the ballgame.

And if Union converts a two point conversion, or scores when they are inside the Central 20, they win by a touchdown. But they didnt, and Central won by two.

The snap was a yard short so the punter panicked and took off. 2 busted tackles later hes off to the races.

All the while our kids kept their mouths shut and kept working on day by day...we get better and better. At some point it's put up or shutup time,and tonight the Central Warriors came up big. The much-maligned defense made some adjustments and shut Union down. After what these kids have been through (no team in this area has had the adversity that these kids have-from not only trying to get used to a new school,but losing their head coach and backbone in B.I),tonight was a testament in character Warriors. I simply could not be prouder of this group of young men.

It was U G L Y for Union last night. My hats go off to Central, they just beat down the offensive and defensive lines of Union, Especially right down the center of the defensive line. Those two boys on Union's interior defense were just "MANHANDLED".

Congrats to Central.....Job well done..

I really doan't get where Union is more talented than Central. Looked to me both teams are very evenly matched. I really don't think one school has more talent than the other.

Biggin this is about coaching pure and simple. He can't motivate or make second half adjustments. He needs to be fired before he does more damage. We must stop blaming the assistants. Folks are unfairly turning them into scapegoats. The buck stops with Travis who isn't doing his job. And BTW central has a brand new coach too. No excuses. If we give him five years well hear five years of excuses for losing to irrelevant programs. Losing to central is inexcusable. I'll ask you all should t keep his job if he records a last place finish? If we. Lose out and go 3-7? Maybe an extension?
