[BoondockSaint]

You and I are pretty much on the same page, but I never said this one or that one "would" be all state I said "could" be or "should" be. I know its very hard to be first team all-state and not likely, but I still feel that if Justin Johnson gets 10-15 carries a game over 14 games and belfry meets expectations of going back to the state title game and hopefully winning then yes I feel he will have a good shot at it. If you dont count the RB's that were on his own team this past year I would argue that besides for #1 from Garrard and Ace from Central he was as good as any RB in "AAA". (Not The Whole State for the people who pick and choose what they decipher "Boondock Saint"). As for Warren at QB, I feel if he gets to throw the ball 10-15 times a game and we win the tiltle he also would have a shot at all-state. The kid from Breathitt and the kid from Garrard are gonna also be very good and Im sure there's more out west thats very good, but I know his talent and work ethic better than anyone and don't underestimate Sani. He is going to shock alot of people when he takes the field next year and shows just how good he is. As for the rest of the guys I mentioned on the list I agree that there gonna be as good as they want to be. They can be special with hard work and dedication or they can be a bunch of flops. (As for "Mr. Boondock Saint" I never said they WOULD win anything nor did I say they "HAVE" won anything. I only said they COULD be very good, and If you read the whole thread I said that this group "COULD" be overhyped and "fall flat on there faces if they dont work there tails off". So how you figured I annointed them anything or that I'm over zealous with me making these types of comments is beyond me. I have been very honest that they could be good or be big disappointments and what else can a person say about any group of kids or class of kids. Any person can make these type of comments about any class or group of kids going into any season and as long as you look at the positives and negatives its gonna always be possible. If I said it "WILL" happen you would have a point, but I never said "WILL Happen", I said "COULD HAPPEN". SHAME ON YOU "BOONDOCK SAINT". You are a jealous person who pretends to be a BHS fan, but any TRUE belfry fan would read this and only comment with positive feedback. Remember these were only predictions about BHS players and teams possibly doing great things and you didnt like it. HUMMM, dont seem like like much of a fan to me. I hope every player on that team wins all-state and two state titles, DO YOU?

Lets look back at what you said, and then tell me who is calling out kids.

"I agree with some of your suggestions but not Madison Ghormely at fullback. LB only for Madison, i remember his only carry this year he fumbled. (Bad idea)." - This kid just played his heart out at LB all year, gets one carry during the season and fumbles, yet you in all of your infinite wisdon say he doesn't deserve a shot at FB. Nice call.

"In my opinion I would move joey duty over to offense and play him at the guard position next year and you would be better than you were this year. Its no disrespect to john (who done a great job) but joey is twice the ball player he is." - Thinking this and saying this on a public forum are two very different things. John Duty earned enough respect from me to never worry about being called a lesser player than his brother on an open forum. Again, nice call.

"I would echo the same about the fields boys as I did the duty boys, Keagan was great at center but Zach has always been the better of the two. Zach fields is a beast on the football field and no one can deny that." - This one is even more ridiculous. You won't find a tougher, more hardnosed, and down to earth kid than Keagan Fields. Still, you find the audacity to say he isn't anywhere near the player his brother is, while his brother didn't even have the opportunity to suit up this year. Yet again, nice call.

These 3 kids are still in high school, just finished representing their schools with pride, dignity, and heart, but you find a way to give them backhanded compliments. Whats harder to believe than that is the fact that you call me an untrue BHS fan because I'm not tooting the horns of unproven players.

I hope the future team works their tails off, goes 30-0 over 2 years with 2 state titles (both against Central), and are humble enough to thank God they got the chance to go against these guys you call inferior each and everday in practice for making them better ballplayers.
