For all of us who like to analyze and dissect the game, players, coaches...Lackey is a helluva football team. They played with composure and heart all game, and nothing out of line as far as I could see. As much as we'd like fh to be perfect, and I"m as guilty of anybody of that, when you play a team with that size, speed, athleticism, coaching...and you win - that says a lot. A lot of people, including coach appel, thought lackey had no chance against douglas. Lackey showed why they beat Douglas.
For me being one of the top two seeds and having home field advantage was huge! For all the whining and complaining about the schedule it worked to get fh where they wanted to be, and without home field I don't see them beating Lackey last night.
I'll say one thing on sportsmanship - #21 stood midfield after the game and was pointing and jawing at the Lackey sideline. Another fh player came and pulled him away. I don't know what provoked it or why he did it, but somebody needs to have a little talk to him about how Coach Appel doesn't like it when other teams do it so he probably isn't going to like it when one of his players does it.
