Yawn... Snore....
We didn't beat Allegany by 50 points because we didn't play well. How pathetic.

Oh come on. It's homecoming and will play again in 2 weeks. Why should FH show their hand before the game that counts? One blown coverage play. Take that away and its a shutout.
Fh was not flat. With all the mistakes alco gave them about 40 points. Must have been blown coverage all day because alco had wide open receivers all day. Very off day for the alco qb all day, if u saw alco play this year u would have to agree, nwasnt even close to his game
Lag, please stop with the sour grapes. Defeat stings, but stop being such an ass. You have Alco fans claiming that #24 is all that FH has, yet he produced only one TD. You talk about people being a "gentleman" and having class, but only when they agree with your line of thought. Other people are entitled to have opinions. Geeeshh...
Fh is a great team, best in 1A. FH scored 2 offense td and TY scored 1. On a good day Allegany can play with FH. It was fairly evenly matched. Ty may have broke a couple more long TD who knows. Appeared they were doing an awesome job against Ty and FH other running backs, before Ty was injured. That td pass he caught was awesome catch and throw defended well. Hope we can do it again in 2 weeks
Yeah they scored twice on offense and ty had 1 of them. The other offensive td was a easy one as alco fumbled the ball on a punt inside the 10... I was impressed with Fh's Defense they were dominant all day. Alco's Qb played horrible like he has in the past in big games so I was'nt suprised.. Congratulations to Big Red and hopefully we will meet again this yr... Oh and how cool was it 2 have The University Of Maryland's Head Coach at the game?
I am watching the game now. FH is not flat at all - they are making some mistakes (one was a blatant helmet to helmet trying to take out Robinette when he was already down). And for their offense it is the same collection of plays I always see. Allegany is pounding FH's run. I am not going to lie about what I see. Allegany is giving the game away. Robinette was carrying the ball and simply knocked Johnson flat... in fact he knocked him out of the game. I understand he is fine.
A championship is in hand if he remains healthy. Anyhow, Johnson almost fumbled the ball away at the 50.... one 24 yard touchdown run to his credit. Johnson was not a major factor.
It is CR all over again for Allegany except that they continue to play hard despite the fumbles and the miscues. We can always say except for this and except for that. Just as I could say except for the fumbles this could have been a different game.

Been reading your screed too. I will simply stand on my record of posting what I see. I have come down on Allegany much more than FH. But I will not let all this exuberant FH homerism go unanswered. To me, the mistakes that FH made are from the fact that nobody else has come out and smashed them the way this young Allegany team has. I think this is the first time Johnson has really been hit all year.
Is FH a better team? Yep. Now, if FH faces a team in the playoffs that hits like Allegany, that could be a problem for FH if the other team doesn't hand them a bunch of turnovers.
By the way, I never posted that FH only has Johnson. I believe my words were that with Johnson FH is a stellar team. With just Barnes they are a very good team. Without both they are average.
Allegany played a good tough game. That's all I'm going to say. FH did what they had to do to win.
That is the razor's edge that is 1a football. You may have 1 to 2 great players that set you apart, lose both you are average. Next man up, sadly doesn't always apply in 1a. FH has played one other team that hit similar to Alco and that was Kent island. They weren't as physical as Alco was today, but they knew how to hit IMO.
Im going to leave it at rest saying, I dont know what game Forthill89 watched, his observations are woooooooaaaahhhh
You guys need to quit talking about how you got your butt kicked by a flat football team and start talking about how you are going to beat north carroll..
I just watched it again. Yes, lots of ankle tankles. A few gang tackles but I didn't see any spectacular hits. There may have been one or two the camera angle didn't show but I didn't see any. Smith (34) had a field day. Made a sophomore mistake but had some nice runs. Barnes had some nice runs. Ty scored on a nice run. Spin it anyway you want but 31 is a beast. That's a fact! Watch it through your blue blinders but outside of a few decent hits it was not awe inspiring. Yes Allegany fumbled the ball. So did FH. We got a safety instead of a TD. Outside a blown coverage Allegany at no point threatened. I watched the game from a very good location at the game and I watched it play by play including slow motion. Allegany's Defense had some shining moments. I will give you that. FH's D really stepped up today. Quite a few negative yard plays. That's what I saw. Sorry if you don't agree. I think second game will be uglier.
So now that you gave us the play by play...how about north carroll
Or would you like to talk about the 09 play off game some more..

Cumbfanatic,
Allegany's qb had a bad day because he was scrambling for his life or on his back. lol. You better go watch the game again. Lmao

Allegany played a great game on the defensive side of the ball. Fort Hill, however, shut down everything Allegany brought to the table offensively and had the quarterback running for his life.
Okay, I'll just go one more. Nobody stopped Ty Johnson in the first quarter like Allegany did, nobody. You can say that FH didn't run the plays that usually spring him... I ain't buying it. Those were not ankle tackles on Ty. Allegany's tackling was spectacular for high school, especially against a running juggernaut like FH. What did FH get... 200 yards total yards in the game? That should be half what they normally get. Johnson usually gets half that in the first quarter. Blue Blinders??? Are you saying that unless somebody has a hit like Barnes did the other week it isn't praise-worthy?
It is nice to have high standards, but this is 1A football. FH is a stellar 1A team. What does downplaying Allegany's effort make FH's effort any better? And what's this one blown play or a shut out thing.... I don't get it.
Allegany screwed up and gave FH a very short field and by and large Allegany stopped them, even on a short yardage 4th down. This was not the expected 35 points in the first quarter with a running clock the rest of the way - as expected by many FH fans.
If Eirich doesn't play it probably will be more lopsided. If Allegany doesn't have all the fumbles, miscues and bad play calling then it shouldn't be uglier.
Lag,
We are sometimes not going to agree. Yes Ty was contained quite a bit but I saw a lot of ankle tackles. And when folks are making comments that Allegany brought something to the table that FH hasn't seen this year I call BS. There was nothing spectacular about MOST of the tackles that made me say Oooh. What I see is people trying to find something good out of a game that didn't go so well for blue. I understand that. But yes, the TD was setup and the player for Allegany was wide open because nobody covered him. He didn't beat anyone to get open was my point. It was a mistake that setup Allegany's only score. 34 also ran the ball down Allegany's throat and Robinette made a good play with the forced fumble. We also fumbled down in scoring distance. Not to mention Ty's TD catch being called back. I won't even argue about that call. So to sum it up yes Allegany tackled well but the way some are talking you'd think they were smashing people. That just wasn't the case.

Okay, so folks are finding things to be happy about in a game that their team literally fumbled away. That's normal. I don't see why that is an affront to anybody and demands having every point challenged.
And, if I say nobody really "ran the ball down Allegany's throat" - is that an affront in that FH didn't get that many yards against Allegany?
And, if I say that some plays spring a receiver wide open does that diminish the play or the effort? This is high school and few plays are one hand grabs in the back of a goal line. Does it have to be emphasized that he was wide open? Happens in college and the pros all the time.
I only listened to a couple away games for FH, while surfing the net. But I have watched the vids. Perhaps I have my blue shades on to say that Allegany gave the best defensive contact game against FH that I saw. Is it necessary to call that BS?
I know I have really worn this out and desperately want to get away from it . So, I will try to let all this go... maybe not check the forum after the next FH/Alco game, if there is one.
I'm not going to comment anymore on the subject. I was prompted to post by some of the comments. I believe a conservative game was called by both teams. Allegany did a great job with 24. I agree with you. Both teams made mistakes. I'm sorry for saying anything. Great game Alco.
Alco lost 3 fumbles, FH lost 2.
Back in the day if either team won Homecoming 26-8 it would have been considered an avalanche win. Don't know what game some of you watched but if these two played 5 times FH would win all 5. Alco can't move the ball on FH with any consistency. None.

DAAAAAMMMMMNNNN!!!!! It was a GOOD game, the toughest team FH has faced all season. Allegany was physical. physical doesn't necessarily have to mean bone breaking hits, it can mean making you work for every yard. FH had to do that today. Aside from the busted coverage, Alco never really threatened offensively. Alco came to play today, but made some mistakes that killed them earlier in the season. It was a defensive match up today and both teams showed up. Again kudos to Alco and their players on a great effort, everyone is a littler more sore tonight than usual. Glad to see #22 Eirich is okay, he's going to be a good one next year.
After watching the game last night, Korn and Alco staff put together a hell of a game plan. The kids came to play and if it wasn't from mistakes Alco might of pulled off an upset. Fort Hill's coaching staff was plainly out coached and took Alco to lightly! I hope Appel and company get it together and bring home another championship !
Are you serious? Out coached? That is the most funny thing I've heard. You are not grasping the big picture it seems. If we meet again in a second game you may understand.
Lol, what game did you watch? FH had as many mistakes as Allegany. Kudos to the Allegany kids for playing hard for 60 minutes, but FH mistakes kept it as close as it was. To say the FH staff was out coached is ridiculous.
As much as I love reading what little praise Allegany gets, I think giving Korn any credit on this game is a reach. Alco didn't even run the more complex offense they did against Towson or Northern. FH keyed in on Robinette and we kept feeding him the ball. We reverted to the old slow developing roll out passes, which resulted in running away. I understand we were mostly deep in our own territory and treated the ball as though it were greased, but still. I would not call it a quality game plan. I think the Alco kids came out and played hard to the very end - harder than any team FH played todate. They distinguished themselves, and that is all you can say.
This isn't even a rivalry anymore and hasn't been one for quite a while, for a host of reasons. It started years ago with the differences in the size of the schools. Now, you have the differences in coaching and some complex demographics that generally gives FH an edge in talent. With a small town and two high schools, it isn't a rivalry. The Allegany football team aren't the Campers anymore, they're today's Arrowettes. The handful of young ladies can dance their hearts out at half time and the young men can play their hearts out for the entire game - but neither are what they were nor are they what they are supposed to be.
