Frankfort turns down 6 year contract with FH.
- Thread starter SS610
- Start date
Offer them all home games, but FH has to be their homecoming so they can spoil 2 per season. Ouch! Lol
NO. Where did that rumor start? 😄
Frankfort knows there is always an option to play FH in football no matter what the contract time length involves. If it was ever going to happen, this year would have been the time. FH was desperate to fill the Oct. 18 slot, so was Frankfort. The Falcons chose to drive 3 hours and play Williamstown. FH had to get a team from NY. Given the fact these two teams look like the two best in this area at this moment, it would have made for a good fall Friday night with a jam packed house.
I'm not here to bash Frankfort, or Keyser because you have to walk in their shoes. The million dollar question everyone really wants to ask is why won't Frankfort play FH?
If you talk to the in-the-know Ridgeley football people that matter and people that I respect/consider friends (coaches, admins and newspaper folks) - this is their reply, not mine.
- If Frankfort played FH 40 times, FH would win 39 times. So it does the Falcons no good to be put in that situation.
- When Frankfort plays FH, they lose players to injury for sometimes weeks because FH is so physical both in weight room strength and the style of football they play.
- The roster that exists for the Super Bowl Rams youth teams and Hawks/Colts pee wee teams are not the same rosters when those players become high school juniors and seniors. Kids transfer, choose not to play, choose to play other sports, have other interests.
- The dedication to football is widely different year round between these two
Those people not in-the-know (fans, parents) are the ones that may take a leap of boldness in the moment to challenge FH on paper. This could be one of those years as the schedule difficulty difference is extreme and Frankfort is good enough to run the table. I really thought a few weeks ago that FH may lose three games or so due to that schedule while Frankfort made a run. Yea, I can see a local area poll stick the Falcons as the top area team at some point based solely on wins and losses regardless of schedules. But those involved and in-the-know know.
It's not just Frankfort. There are only two teams in the entire state of WV that will play FH. With a little luck, one of those teams people are begging for could be a reality in 2025 <wink>. We'll see.
Oh Todd. If you were a girl, you'd be known as the biggest tease! LOL
