Also, why the field goal attempt on 4th and short in the closing minutes just before Dunbar's game winning drive?...

i coulda swore he won in '98, however i stand corrected... i apologize (i still think he would have eventually lined up with Turnbaugh as one of the top coaches in the county/state) J-towne, i've seen the entire team plenty of times and i completely understand where you're coming from, plus I know the biggest kid on that team & his family personally... I just think that offense is way too one-dimensional and they are...

Yes Ops. T-Bone is correct! we must spend 1,000's of hours of time and, countless amounts of DVD's filming other teams JV football practices each year. It's all part of the "get an early look at every team" concept, we employ at Hereford. I have spent so much time doing this over the years that my wife is getting ready to divorce me, when I asked Coach T if I could slack-up on the JV scouting because of my...

Coach Harmon, 15 years varsity...

A head coach is only as good as his supporting staff. Had Coach Turnbaugh himself applied for the Fort Hill head coaching job, he would not have beat out Coach Appel. Appel graduated from Fort Hill....

Quote: Originally Posted by j towne The fort hill coach is a good coach but how long has he been there? He was also handed a team that loves football and takes pride in playing football at Fort Hill. I am sure he didnt have to do much work getting kids excited about playing football at FH. Who wanted to play football for Hereford 15 years ago? I will grant you the fact that Appel didn't "make" Fort Hill into the program...
