Wow. Just wow. First off, I NEVER said that Whitley County cheated or that the refs cost Somerset the game. The 2 touchdowns called back on the final drive hurt. I said I couldn't see one of them well enough to see for sure but the other was a poor call. If the situation were reversed you would be upset as well. At no time, however did I resort to a personal attack towards you, the Whiltey County fans or players by saying "screw you and screw your program. " Is that how you show that you and your program have so much class?

I was on the sidelines taking pictures and I talked to the chain crew a lot and enjoyed meeting them. I never yelled anything at the refs and I certainly didn't go onto the field and yell at the Colonel players like a Whitley parent did. Even if they were on the field in an official capacity they had no business yelling at our players, period. Is that another example of class?

As for dirty play I never defended the clip againstst Bryant. If you only saw the clip you did not see the whole sequence. The rushers started blocking Bryant, he got frustrated and threw either a punch or a head slap at the Somerset player who then retaliated with a cheap shot. Our players are not taught to block like that but it was a kid reacting to what he perceived as a cheap shot against him. He was flagged for it and rightfully so but he was struck in the head first. I will post a screen shot after I get to watch the film if the video crew did not zoom out too quickly. I watched the entire sequence and the blow to the head was as clear as the clip. As for sending the three blockers after Bryant, when you have a punt returner like Storm Wilson you ALWAYS block the punter and/or safety all the way down the field until the whistle because you never know when he will break one or which direction he will go. If he didn't clip the blocks on Bryant were important to helping prevent him from making a touchdown saving tackle.

If Somerset was that dirty and classless where were the flags for that? The Jumpers were certainly called for everything else. Both teams were flagged for 1 personal foul and Whitley County received the only 2 unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, but they were just defending their players, right? Even though Somerset was not flagged for any unsportsmanlike penalties, our coaches were called whiners by another poster--classic. I didn't see the spear but it was on the Whiltey County side. If it happened it should have been called. Our kids are not taught to do that.

Good luck the rest of the season, you have a good team. I hope that you can grow up a little bit and refrain from posting personal insults or you will sully that sterling reputation that you claim Whitley County has.

All of the personal attacks and cheating claims should not reflect on the effort given by both teams last night nor should it take away from Whitley's final drive. Excellent effort on both team's parts and great game. And I, unlike you have no animosity towards Whitley. I'd never wish that a group of kids never win another game. Stay classy RIUTG. You are a shining example for the program.

I did overreact a bit and im sorry for that.
I believe your one of the better posters on the site norm and my attacks were more aimed at the kanter guy than you.
I was just upset because i know Boston and have watched him grow up and play football since he was in 3rd grade and know hes a great kid.

I was most upset about the play when literally three players from somerset when after bryant when he wasnt anywhere near the play and it was an obvious cheap shot. One of our unsportmanlikes was because coach black went off on the ref and rightfully so as he was simply trying to protect his kids and does a good job at doing so.
I obviously dont wish winless years for Somerset and like i said overreacted, but i was just frustrated about the cheap shots at bryant when they were clearly done to hurt bryant and get him out of the game.

Goodluck to you all and hopefully this doesnt happen again.

At the end of the day it was Whitley 27 and Somerset 21. Thats the bright spot for us after all of this and now its time for real season to start as homefield in the playoffs and a 2 seed could be on the line friday at Perry.

Once again i apologize norm. I did overreact.
