    That game was a tale of 2 halfs. First half the Cougars went toe for toe with the Eagles and did a great job holding their own. Second Half was a totally different story! The Cougar players continued to play hard, but i and many others believe that their Coaches had just as much fault, if not more in their loss.  It seemed that the Eagles knew the plays that the Cougars were going to play before they came out of the huddle. To keep running L. Williams up the middle NUMEROUS times when trying to play catch up, just baffles the S--t out of me. Newton did a great job of containing and stopping Williams, but no or very little adjustments were made to try something else. Running to the outside was thrown out of the play book, it was tried only a few times, and each time the Cougars gained decent yards, but then they would go back to running Williams again. Now don't get me wrong, Williams is a very strong runner and he is the work horse, but the teams in district know that and will game plan to stop him.  The Cougars do have the speed to get around the outside in Burch and Lopez. It is time for the Cougars to open up the playbook or maybe borrow one from another team and have some different plays. So that when Williams is being stopped , then maybe they will have something else to throw at them.

    So we lose a game and blame it on the coaches. Newton's Offense and defense deserve most of the blame.  You met a better, more talented team.Your team played hard and is well coached. You lost. It happens to one team every game. Face up to it and use it as a learning tool. Good luck. We're pulling for you the rest of the way.

    I didn't want to bring up the refs, but since you did... that alleged safety was a joke. Our RB plowed into the line at about the 5, and came to a full "forward progress" stop. Then, the WV defense drove him back into the endzone where someone pulled the ball loose for a "safety".  ::)  That was just an unbelievable call.

    We have noticed the bad calls and especially the late whistles too. It is getting kids injured.

    I understand Buna has a very talented squad this year. Hopefully the Hornets can atleast make a game out of it. If they lose, it will not be due to lack of effort. These kids give every snap 100%.

    What does Buna feature this year? Talent? Discipline? Maturity? Hardin knows to expect a power RUN game, as Buna has been successful with that for quite some time now. No suprise that Hardin will do its best to AIR it out against everyone they play, along with the legs of WR/RB Kale Rives.

    Should be exciting, and entertaining to watch. GO HORNETS

    Buna is better than the past years. Hardin will have a long night. :D

    With Newton's star RB Kevin Shorter most likely missing this game due to injury (quite possible he misses several games) this game just got much more interesting.

    I still have Newton winning, but by a smaller margin than what I had originally thought.

    Newton        34
    Buna            20

    Yep. Only leaves us with three real good running backs, not counting Dean, who may be the best. ;D
