49 First half points, Incredible! Just two years ago they put up 60 on us. At halftime, we new 60 was attainable, and we needed the record of most points scored at Blair Field, not New Albany. This record may stand for a while too. What an action packed game from the start! New Albany came ready to play and caused us some early stress. Our reaction was priceless as no one panicked. We stayed with the game plan and executed well throughout the four quarter game. I will admit, the only thing that “shocked” me was them trying to hurry up their offense. They stayed in a no huddle look most of the game and this helped them speed up their possessions. By doing this, plus the two Kickoff recoveries, it allowed us to run more offensive plays! We ran 84 total offensive plays to their 42! Thus, 62-35, ONE FOR THE AGES!
Did the news and tribune really say it was going to be close based upon our last two games? “Come On Man” Did we leave any doubt of who the best team in this town has been all year long? We have consistently performed at a high level throughout this season and still get no respect from outside sources. What is it with Jeffersonville? What stigma does our name carry? In two short seasons we have went from one and nine to a run for a sectional title. Our team and family support has been great these last few weeks. Keep it up as, “WE get to…” “WE get to…” “WE get to…” Practice another week and play on Friday night at home. Please tell everyone about the great weather forecast for Friday! Be sure they come out to watch, a 2ndROUND, HOME SECTIONAL, FOOTBALL PLAYOFF GAME!!!!!!
Thanks to all for the turnout for the pancake breakfast this Saturday! I had a great time watching everyone enjoy talking about the Victory! Please, watch it this week on TV as it will play all week. I personally haven’t seen it yet, but I have been told they spoke highly of us throughout the game and the post game report was outstanding! Please remember to stay positive throughout OUR weekly routine as we strive for our goal of reaching NOVEMBER! Playoff time is here, and it is time to, “FEAR the FORK”!!! The countdown till Friday Night continues!
