wave316 64 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Honaker got down 26 to 7 at half -time... Then the second half went into their favor! I was there cheering with fans from Lebanon ,Clintwood... So proud of the Tigers who did not lose heart and quit ...but played and fought there way back into it..and took the lead 34-32... A key onside kick recovery was huge in this comeback... Ty Hall had a great game passing the football.. Penalties killed the Sussex team in the end...a facemask penalty when Honaker was punting the ball back to them late in the 4th quarter with just two minutes left ,trailing 41 to 40.. Honaker gets a fresh set of downs and scores on a beautiful 3rd down pass play.. which made the score 48-40... But the speedy Sussex team would get the ball with a minute left in te game....and they drove close to Honaker's 20 yd line with 4 seconds left. On a final pass play Sussex catches a pass but is tackled near the 5 yd line as time expires. This was one of the best high school games I have watched! Congrats to Honaker and to George Wythe on their wins...and to John Battle for a great season!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honaker just smacked them in the mouth in the second half,I sat on the vistors side ,the only place we could find,those people run their mouth the first half,second they started using bad language,finally the police had to come over on the side lines because of the Susex coach's.No class at all.

Blues Man 48 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 One heck of a game, Honaker played a great game aganist one of the fastest teams I have seen in a while. As orangestreak said people from all over the area were there I thought the one guy from abingdon might have been southbound but not sure.

Blues Man 48 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 I thought the same thing but the ref said he wasnt in, the samething happened on one of sussex two point trys, the runner landed with the ball in the endzone and the ref said down before the goal line.

Hokies4Ever 23 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Honaker played very well and showed a lot of heart but in the 2nd half Honaker out coached Sussex. I sit on the Sussex side and I kept laughing at some of the things they were saying. I never understood why Sussex got away from the veer offense in the 2nd half. Congrats to Honaker on winning and good luck next week against George Wythe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was goin on when their fans or the one fan was highly upset and made his way down to the bottom of the stands yelling and embarrassing himself?

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Appears to be lack of discipline from the outside observer (lack of self-discipline for the coach)... No way he should be acting like that in front of his team. Shows a lack of class and poor sportsmanship, not a very good example for his players.... He's the one that should be reported to the VHSL.

He definitely was not a reflection of sportsmanship. You can see that by reading his comments in the article in the BHC. I did think the team (sussex) as a whole lost their composure when HONAKER made a run. They started making some mental mistakes and let their emotions kinda get the best of them. Sussex had a good team and congrats to them on their season! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blues Man 48 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does anyone know why the sussex coach was mad over the onside kick that was talked about in the paper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeStreak 45 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Does anyone know why the sussex coach was mad over the onside kick that was talked about in the paper? Never figured that out because on an onside kick it doesn't matter whether the ball hit the Sussex player's hand or not, it's a live ball past 10 yrds!!! Those comments didn't make since to me!!!

litltiger 17 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) He complained for minutes over a facemask that was clear as day. I didn't see the face mask but it couldn't come at a better time.thats the first time ive seen a ref call out the number of the player that committed the penalty.i think he said #55.in high school.

OrangeStreak 45 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 He was arguing that it hit a Honaker leg before hitting the Sussex player hand. So, doesnt matter who hits it on an onside it's a live ball whether it's touched or not. Unless he was arguing it hit a hhs player before it went 10yrds.
