is anyone interested in SS610’s athletic resume? He is quick to talk sh*t on a high school kid. I mean he could be a former POY for all I know. I’m betting that he sat the bench.

never been called a Karen but ok Chad

This East/WOI team coming to Cumberland this Saturday is as athletic as Dunbar. Just as fast. Two huge tackles. A tall, lanky QB who runs like the wind. Just straight up fast athletes across the board. They get a few of them in open space and it's a TD.

FH fans can hope the wing-T is a foreign concept to this NY visitor. They have to make the drives count and rush for close to 400 yards.

This is the schedule FH should be playing. Not putting a running clock on undermanned opponents each week <applause>.

Karen alert, Karen alert, Karen alert. Attention, attention, a Karen alert has been issued.

I have never seen more TFL's from one player. Maybe I have but don't remember. His quickness gets him into the backfield every game.

Coach Klein ran a version of this play with Bobby Boucher throwing the game winning touchdown pass for the Mud Dogs in the Waterboy.

Fort hill is what we thought they were. Everyone predicted 2 to 4 losses this year. They are a very good team, just not up to Fort Hill standards. Fort Hill last year is 4 to 5 touchdowns better. Fort hill might get tested in the playoffs.

I truly believe their playing the level of teams, the Dunbars and the Briar Woods etc, are going to help them address and improve on any overall shortcomings by seasons end going into the playoffs.

I'm going to throw a little rivalry humor in here, so keep it in perspective please.

It was the second half last night in Frostburg with a running clock and the FH first unit was still in the game. I looked at the person sitting next to me and said now is the time where FH needs to work on their passing game. What is Mountain Ridge going to do, drop FH from the schedule? It's not like the Miners are going to stop throwing passes with a big lead.

What is even more humorous to that situation is that opponents generally get mad when FH tries to work on their passing game and throw the ball with a big lead. But in a "running up the score" reality, they are better off letting FH throw the ball then continuing to let them rip off 70 yard touchdown runs up the gut 😂

It is funny, but it’s true

Last night hopefully showed that maybe FH isn’t so bad and Dunbar, briar woods, and hollidaysburg were just better than we all thought. When it comes to playing 1A teams, FH is still the king of the mountain.

Glaring question from last night: why did Daniel’s go back in that game in the second half and why did he play multiple possessions in the second half?

I agree Todd. I would have much rather FH tried to throw the ball, lol. Like I said earlier, Ridge has struggled to stop the run all season. I knew they wouldn't be able to contain the rushing attack of Big Red.

Can we talk about that wrinkle play, though? Loved it!

Honestly I think that is the first time it's been used in a decade...anybody remember it more recently?

FHHSAHS said:

Generally, he wasn't needed - the game was under control. But he really didn't get a ton of reps in the first half. And injury wise, it was muscle spasms so it wasn't an injury that required non play. Nothing needed to heal.

Might as well get some reps in prep for next week.

A very delicate situation. Even more so for someone in my position knowing families and sons. It's not a place for an open forum. So I personally would not come to any social media outlet and be negative about the play of any individual player.

What I will say, strictly from a X's and O's philosophy perspective, that leaves me a little perplexed is that coaches are asking #11 to rarely come in at QB solely on extremely crucial situations. The past two weeks, he comes in on 3rd and 5, 3rd and 11, 4th and 7, etc., with the game on the line. He comes in for one or two snaps and then comes back out. This is not an alternating QB situation. You are asking someone to come in cold for a play or two behind the first down sticks with the entire drive on the line who hasn't taken a snap the entire game. Nor has he been real game repetitioned for that situation. I don't know any program at any level (outside of a brief wildcat formation) that does this. What I'm not doing is being negative about someone's play. What I am doing is questioning the coaching decision here. #11 comes in on 4th and 7 at Mountain Ridge and scrambles 8 yards for a first down. Six games in and this is the first time all season that a QB ran for a first down. Then he comes right back out the next snap. He probably earned the right to at least finish the drive at that point.

The passing issues at FH are not relegated to one position. All three facets of a passing game have issues - the QB, the pass protection and the receivers.

Lastly, the fact #8 is even playing football right now after the injury bug bit him the last two seasons is amazing in itself. If there was an Area Courage Award - he gets it. That is the dude I want on my front lines leading the way in any facet of life. The greatest compliment I could give another human. I'm not worried about his future.

I think the question has to be asked...why??? Why would you put him back into a game where the game was over.

I know you know this as you offer excellent insight and commentary.

Answer: Stats/next level goals. You can't get All-State without a buck fitty plus average per game. Film/X account. Those runs were impressive too = goals achieved or exceeded for the game in a couple plays. Plain and simple. Ever notice when 1 player gets good offensive stats the coaching staff will feature another player during a series or quarter? Spreading the statistical wealth to get that film. Those MAD stickers. Collegiate attention.

SS610 said:

Yeah, Fh did score 56. Do you realize #25 had a higher passer rating and threw for more touchdowns than #8 did tonight?

Click to expand...

A FH QB with a passer rating? Lol
How many MAD stickers is passer rating worth these days? You can talk about pass plays, inefficient/ineffective passing game, doing xyz,...but calling out a specific child under your anonymous username is yellow bellied, small man complex, piss ant mentality bs---that's what I realize.

I personally don’t give a crap what any adult’s career stats or interests are but these are high schools kids and this is high school football. Never should we drag kids down. It is high school football - should not be the reason we put down KIDS. Everyone wants to say kids are different, no - the way adults act are different and it affects the kids.
Do Better!

This isn’t the first time #8 had been called out for terrible play. Go see the Dunbar thread. If he reads this board then he should have the thickest skin of anyone in allegany county

Why would anyone take these shots at a high school kid? FH won 56-3. I would love to see some of your resumes from your playing days. Ss1, where did you play? You should show more respect.

I think it was the hand that hit the ball when he tipped the pass. The quarterback put everything on that so that was a really hard hit

#3’s injury was thought to be a broken wrist by the training staff. Upon his return it was actually just a severe muscle spasm.
