Why doesn't he have sportsmanship? Showed it 4 times this year already!!! Against Beckley, WV; Logan, WV; Boyd Co, and Greenup Co!

Beckley------scored 35 points in 1st quarter and end up with 52. How does that happen? By running up the score?

Logan-------69 points and going for the extra point for 70 and tells them to kneel it so we don't score 70. Had a few minutes to go in the 4th quarter so we could have easily broken the school record for points in a game (72) but we didn't.

Greenup------takes most starters out up 31-0 in mid-3rd quarter and final was 43-21.

Boyd-------up 47-27 and get the ball back with 2 minutes to go in 4th quarter and kneels on it instead of trying to go for more yardage for a certain "anonymous" player who already had 420 yards rushing.

SO, STILL THINK HE HAS NO SPORTSMANSHIP????? :wtf1:

I know you weren't quoting me JCRunningMachine#17 but I just wanted to make a point. It does seem as though nowadays Matney has done a much much better job of showing sportsmanship than it seemed to me in the past. The only point of yours I don't see eye to eye with you on is the Logan game. Most people that I've ever spoken to and mentioned kneeling on the PAT attempt, is almost a unanimous decision that it is a much larger slap in the face than if the team had practiced their kicking game or practiced a 2 point conversion play.

we were not the only teams to play that monday
and what is really tasteless is that after the game some of the coaches on the sidelines and in the pressbox were saying over the loudspeaker hey fatass shut the hell up fatass to a coach of sc's who also happens to be a preacher and a very good man now that is tasteless
well if coach matney was a jerk or a bad sportsman then why did he kick 7 field goals against a team that was in no shape to be playing us?? good sportsmanship that's why the attempts weren't even on 4th downs

this is not directed to you tomcat68 the incident about the loudspeaker was done after the game while we were the only ones on the field
just sayin that matney is not as bad as everyone says he is you just have to know him

The problem would not have been if it had been the following Monday after the 9/11 attacks. The problem was that he refused to play the game until over an entire month later after the KHSAA had to step in and ordered the game be played or that Mr. Matney's team receive a forfeiture. The game was originally scheduled for Friday, Sept. 14 and was not played until Monday, Oct. 15.

As for the loud speaker incident you mention, I would be the first to apologize if this were true. That is an absolute disgrace for any person to show that kind of disrespect. Our team normally leaves the field as quickly as possible to get back to our locker rooms at the high school, so I would not have been around to hear this incident. As I said before, if this is true, I personally apologize for whomever made those ignorant remarks.
