from what i hear, battle won 37-12.

tyrone gilliard (princeton) went to pitt

coach louthan and his staff put a team on the field that pocy people can again be proud of...except for the kid who threw the ball at the craig co. player that tackled him out of bounds. the boys were focused, seemingly disciplined, and they hustled--all of which were severely lacking last season. yes, the win is nice, but seeing the manner in which these guys conducted themselves is far better, i say. i'm not quite ready to hop on the louthan bandwagon quite yet, but as a coach, i certainly respect the work he's done so far. congrats.

it's not that there would be a drastic difference in wins and losses. there would, however, be a pocy team on the field that is disciplined, in shape, and prepared to at least contend, and not quit after the first series. we've always been proud of our boys, even when they lose terribly. but, last year's phs team was flat out awful and so very hard to be proud of, mainly because of their attitude. as a coach, you control overall team attitude. it is my understanding (and i may be wrong) that practices were run very lackadaisically, and some included playing ps2 (either madden or ncaa) to pick up "new plays." if that's true, then that is, quite possibly, the most pathetic thing ever. and, it makes the wyatt days--even the 7 wins in whatever number of years--look really, really good. i hope the louthan days are a resurgence of the early wyatt days, but with him being on staff of last year's team, admittedly, i have my doubts. nevertheless, i'll be at friday's game; that's called giving the man a chance. pocyhokie, i totally understand where you're coming from in principle, but being an alumna of both "pocy" and "hokie," i confidently can say the following: please, please drop it. you're only making yourself look horrible, as well as reminding just about everyone on this board why they stereotype pocy people to be uneducated, fanatical, low-lives...which, by the way, most are not all three

except for his last couple of years, when wyatt was at pocahontas, they contended for the bdd/med crown every season. now, the program is a joke. yes, numbers are low and will continue to get even lower, but you can't say coaching plays no role in the program's sharp drop-off. they didn't have a lot of kids under wyatt, but the ones he had were disciplined and had at least some semblance of pride about them. on the other hand, louthan going to beaver/graham. it's not something i, as a coach, would have done. but, realistically, he's young and maybe didn't stop to consider that a parent/fan would be there, see him, and vent about that kind of thing on a message board. personally, i think both actions show immaturity. but, the bottom line is: gman's right. pocy honestly doesn't have the personnel to stop anybody, whether their opponents are scouted or not.

lets hope not...otherwise, we have a "christian" using a derogatory slang term on a public message board. i doubt jesus would've done that.

i mean, seriously, do you even have the slightest clue as to how officials associations operate? your ignorance points to "no." it's not like people are picked up off the streetcorner..the same guys you see in hillsville are the same guys you see other places and funny, you don't seem to complain about when they're there. btw, eh, when'd you move across taz. co?

if by "whippin," you mean questionable last second desperation attempt... i'm not high on guynn, personally. i don't think he did much when he came back. yates- there's a hustler.
