I like Ronnie but I have to disagree with most of what he said in last weeks sideline comments. I don't want to teach our kids not to try in life, not to have passion for something, and not to get upset about things. Sometimes you have to get upset about something. It might not be life or death but this is where character is built. That is what Hager's teams are missing right now......Heart.

Ronnie also said the common saying from Hager. This is a non district games. What really matters is the district. I hate this thought pattern. You can not magically flip a switch and know how to win come district time.

I agree with you Matman, you play to win every game. However, if you can learn from the non-district games and get better then not all is lost. I think the game lastnight SC found HEART! maybe late, but the team finally started to fight . Contrary to what the Franfort fans will say, the officiating was terrible. The officials didn't cause the 2 costly turnovers , and the outcome may not have changed but on the other hand it may. SC started getting the momentum the flags started, one examplehappened in the start of the 4th quarter SC moved the ball to the 25 of Frankfort and on 3rd and 5' SC running back Skyles takes the ball to the 4. but the flag was thrown all the way back at the 30 yard line for HOLDING on the wide receiver, 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage, to now make it 3rd and 15 from the 40! The Franfort D would illegally hit our linemen ( below the waist as a chop block on offense) and the lead blocker all night long and got flagged only once, and that call only came because of Hager running the same play 4 times in a row to show the side judge what Franfort was doing, but the side judge didn't make the call the white hat did and Hager went off on the side judge. The down marker holder on the chain gang then went after Hager and drew back on Hager and coaches got in between them to stop it from comming to blows. The down marker holder is an off duty state police officer , which he showed he is a very unprofesional state employee! He calls his fellow officers and needless to say, our Head Coach Hager was taken out of the locker room in front of the kids and his own children to be questioned . This is what Franfort has to offer the visiting teams, what a place. At least SC fans and parents had a police escort to their vehicles, and where the stadium is located most were happy to have the police present. The Franfort players played hard and deserve credit. If, the coaching staff teaches the illegal moves and techniques then they should banned. The next team that Frankfort plays will see the game film and see what Franfort was doing and maybe do it to Frankfort, and then maybe after loosing 3 lineman with knee injuries for these illegal tactics as SC did, maybe Franfort will stop!
