You can't always go by that, especially with high school kids. I'm sure there was a bit of looking ahead by Honaker. Burton's defense was suspect and Honaker is well coached. I expected that game to be 40 something to 30 something, so was pretty close to expected. Not trying to kick Norton when they are down, but their schedule has prevented people from knowing what they had, and Jimbo has (IMO) covered every question raised and kept trying to say things like 'football isn't dead in Norton'.
It's bad to say that Honaker barely beat Hurley last week when Norton didn't exactly own Haysi, in a game that was a bit closer than the score.
What we've got here is failure to communicate. Some men you just can't reach, so you get what we had here last week which is the way he wants it. Well, he gets it.

Yeah, that's true. But I also noticed the game in which Honaker lost to John Battle, a team Burton easily defeated, and that they beat Eastside just by a field goal. I guess I expected Burton to easily handle a team of that caliber. Like you said, though, Burton didn't exactly manhandle Haysi last week, either, and that makes today's result more understandable.
