Another Harbin Cow(potentially) for St. Paul this week in order to secure a home playoff game. I've been spoiled with home games, but when the Flyers had to take to the road last year, it didn't seem right.

I’m anxious to see exactly what Monroeville does this week against a team they should beat pretty easily. I don’t think they are a bad team, they just lost a sloppy one last week that could have went either way. I guess I’m anxious to see what SC can do as well. They should handle Mapleton, but we’ll see. We’ll also get to see how Western stacks up against Plymouth. I believe the Rough Riders should do well. If Plymouth can stop Western’s run game they will have a chance. Crestview has a huge team as always, they only start 1 sophomore, and a couple kids only play one way. They have some serious depth at many positions. I think this will be a tough, close game for the Flyers that most people are overlooking.

South Central, Crestview, Western and St. Paul undefeated in conference going into this weekend. South Central definitely has the easiest match up, but I'm really looking forward to the result of the Western/Plymouth game as well. I'm glad St. Paul will be tested again, as they will be battle tested come playoff time. I don't know if people are really overlooking Crestview, its just that, even in a close game the Flyers are still favored. Personally, I'm rooting for a Western and SP game in a winner take all for the conference. I think the last time that happened was when SP and Monroeville were bot 9-0 going into week 10.

I like the sound of that, WR vs SP winner take all. People always seem to overlook WR, but they have put some very good teams together over the years, especially when you take into consideration how sparsely populated their school district is. My mom is a WR grad and Grandparents lived there, great people over there. A lot of respectful young men on that team as well. I’m rooting for them, especially this week.

Crestview over SP 21-14. No reason, no explanation, just a pick. Cougars are underrated and forgotten about.

Crestview over SP 21-14. No reason, no explanation, just a pick. Cougars are underrated and forgotten about. Well, unlike Plymouth, Crestview does have a win over St. Paul this decade; 2011 when Flyers were 6-4 and Cougars 11-1. Even so, that game was close, 28-24. Will this year be magic for Crestview to pull off the dub? I still have my doubts.

2001 and 2002 were other victories by Cougars over Flyers. 16-3 with 16 of last 17 for St. Paul.
Go Flyers!

Keep guessing, one week you’ll get it right.😉 I'm looking forward to his pick of Western over St. Paul...and South Central, and maybe Monroeville...all of the poor underrated and forgotten about FC conference teams. Sheesh...just beat the Flyers. Any team that does it at this point will be the toast of the conference.

You know I’ve got to do it. If you grab balls, I’m going to put you on blast. Caleb Hill # 74 is officially a ball grabber. Confirmed. Now in his defense, maybe he is just getting a head start in his career as a future andrologist, if not, shame on him. Other than this hot head, the rest of the Ashland Crestview team showed a tremendous amount of sportsmanship. Hats off to them. The one thing that surprised me the most was the Crestview QB’s arm. That kid was impressive.

Lol...my guesses are getting closer. Just wait till the playoffs, I'll get it right. I'm a genius! Fun stuff I’ll give it to you, you were way closer on the score than what I predicted. We gave them the ball on our own 12 and 2 yard line on two muffed punt long snaps. This is where the injury to #55 Gavin Moffit hurts us as well, as he was our long snapper, and a excellent one at that. I’m betting JL will have this problem corrected by next week. Don’t know if the wind curbed Crestview’s passing attack, but it was pretty much nonexistent throughout the whole game, as was their rushing attack. Crestview never threatened to score other than the 2 possessions where we gave them the ball deep in our territory. The Crestview fumble midway through the 4th quarter was clearly a fumble, the kid was still upright while the ball was on the ground. How the side judge missed this is beyond me, another ref had to overrule his call of the Crestview runner being down. Refs did a good job, but this game was not as close as the score suggests. Crestview’s defense is pretty solid, but their offense was not, at least last night.

Crestview’s defense is pretty solid, but their offense was not, at least last night. I disagree...this game was a lot closer than what the score showed. The Flyers were the team that showed absolutely no passing game and this is what will eventually hurt them in the playoffs. Crestview had a few drops on big pass plays and a miss on the play where the kid was wide open and would have scored untouched. I think the Crestview coaches hurt their team by not throwing more...especially on first downs, and they should have used more play action. This isn't a knock on SP...given the size of their players vs their opponents this is probably one of the "toughest" SP teams I've seen in a while. But the passing game just isn't there..or at least its not where it needs to be for a deep playoff run. Again, this isn't a criticism...JL's teams have never developed a passing game. If one happens to develop on its own, they utilize it, but the strong run game is definitely the MO. ****Just an opinion, but calling out high school kids by name is a really bad look and shows a lack of class.****

If one happens to develop on its own, they utilize it, but the strong run game is definitely the MO. ****Just an opinion, but calling out high school kids by name is a really bad look and shows a lack of class.**** About the lack of class. First, the “kid” in question is over 18, by law that makes him an adult. Is he still a child mentally, obviously this one is, I would go as far as saying he is a special kind of stupid. Even if he wasn’t over 18 the resulting charges would still be the same. Second, his actions are criminal. If he did this on the street, he would be charged with sexual assault, which carries the real possibility of jail time, not to mention having to register as a sexual offender for an amount of time to be determined by a court. He did not do this to just one player, which means multiple counts and the Flyers were not his first victims, in fact the kids knew about it going into this game. He also needs to understand that some of his opponents are legally minors, and that alone carries a stiffer set of charges, which places him in the category with child predators. Good luck in life with that on your record. Nowadays criminal actions on the football field are handled the same as they would be as if he were out on the streets in the eyes of the law, just ask Dayton Dunbar. If he fails to curb these kinds of activities, one day he will run into a parent who isn’t as old school or forgiving as I am, and they will file a police report which will result in criminal charges. There are a lot of things that used to fly in the past during high school football games that are no longer acceptable in the eyes of the law. Is this kid a talent, absolutely, he is a monster on the d-line and has the ability and size to play at the next level. If me calling him out saves him from from the pain and shame that comes with being labeled a sexual predator for the better portion of his adult life that’s great. This is my intention, and I will continue to do this with any player if it makes them understand the consequences of their actions. If he does not understand what could possibly happen as a result of his actions, or an adult doesn’t check his shenanigans, he deserves everything he’s got coming to him. Defending anybody that engages in these type of activities shows a lack of class, but that’s my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
