Johnson Central 23 Capital, WV. 6

School Admin. · 08-27-2016, 05:13 PM

Look, I don't care what anyone says, Capital has a fine team. Johnson Central was just better tonight. They have impressive size and improved speed. They will definitely be a factor in the State title hunt.

[quote=PHSForever]Whoa on the hyperbole. They are consistently very very good but you're comparing them to a program that just beat a national powerhouse team and has themselves a very long tradition of being a national powerhouse. But still, all that aside, this was an excellent win for the Eagles. Congrats![/QUO

I'm not comparing them at all, I know the difference! I'm saying when you ask someone from West Virginia who they would have represent them if they could pick only one team to represent there state the over whelming majority says Capital. In there eyes, Capital is the cream of the crop. So my congratulations was to Johnson Central in handling the best team in WV in many eyes. Needless to say I have bragging rights at the water cooler Monday!

To hear some of our Haters talk....... instead of a Powerhouse from WV., we should have played Betsy Layne or Jenkins.

It's a good thing we don't listen to our Haters.

Were you there or were you watching Danville beat Southwestern?

Solid win against a very good program

Maybe I was reading it wrong but the Charleston paper was a little salty.

Great day after quote. A little incorrect but great to check in after the Central win. Keep on with the hate and we will keep on with the winning.

I thought Belfry had the best team from West Virginia?

Trinity would beat them with ease.

**Pulp Fiction** · 08-28-2016, 05:04 PM

JC took Capital out of their game plan in the first drive.

JC kept possession for over 6+ minutes of the 1st qtr. and scored on that drive. Capital had no answer for JC's running game.

In a track meet.... Capital would be hard to beat.

WinkWinkler · 08-28-2016, 05:07 PM

Comparing Capital to Trinity. That is a joke.

Louisville, Catholic high school football > Charleston, Public high school football.

Do you guys think number 17 from capital was a dirty player or just tired I counted 4 times he either facemask or pulled boys helmets off one real bad on he pulled Blake gamble off nothing was called gunner touchdown run you can see him rip of gunner helmet,

Emmit Brown · 08-28-2016, 05:16 PM

pjdoug Wrote:Trinity would beat them with ease.

Agreed. However, I don't think the point he was making was any attempt to compare the two schools. Trinity is a national power, Capital is a WV power. I believe he was making the point that when you think of WV football, the flagship program or first thought of is Capital. Especially of recent coming off a 3A state title in 2014, runner-up in 15 and then preseason #1 this year.

You explained it better than he did.

Now when Belfry beats Cabell-Midland this year, we will know for certain KY football is better than WV.

He was their stud LB that is headed to Louisville after this season. Maybe he will fit in with the dirty birds!

Don't be mad pulp fiction and Emmit Brown, Louisville whips UK's butt every year.

#17Dorian is a great kid, Cole has played AAU basketball with him several years.

He showed poor sportsmanship on the field with dirty plays and and the end of the game he wouldn't expect defense award better clean up his act ,

Nowhere near mad, just having fun. I'm probably more of a Louisville fan if I had to choose between the two due to family ties. Regardless, he is a good, hard nosed player. Hope he has a good career.

When I think of WV Football Capital comes to mind about 6th.
The 1st true power I think of is Martinsburg
Morgantown
Bridgeport
Bluefield
Cabell Midland
Parkersburg 8th winningest program in Nation
Capital

TigerBlues · 08-29-2016, 03:38 AM

It's WV football , please

Eagle84 · 08-30-2016, 02:46 PM

Maybe Paintsville can play a wv school instead weak blind and Jenkins

Not that it matters.... but Paintsville has only played two different teams outside of Kentucky from the 1998 season through 2016.

Grundy, VA. - 2003 (L 18-46)
@ Grundy, VA. - 2004 (L 6-62)

Ridgeview, VA. - 2015 (W 40-3)
@ Ridgeview, VA. - 2016

Cabell Midland and Capital Split wins last year. The last one Capital won by 35-13. Martinsburg is typically the best team in WV. Cabell Midland has always struggled in the past until they got Luke as Coach. Capital has been a stable in WV football for over a decade. Very few schools have seen that kind of success in WV. So this is a solid win and a very good team for JC to schedule. Especially with their trouble filling their schedule. Remember what last years Cabell Midland team did to Belfry. This Capital team dominated that team at the end of the season. Now you can't compare the top teams in WV with the top teams in KY. Our top 3 teams can play with almost anyone. Then its a big drop off to the rest.

Great point.

Give me Capital, WV., South Charleston, WV., Lexington Catholic & Belfry.

Over Mastery Charter, PA., Lutheran East, OH., Noblesville, IN., & Fairland, OH.

Our five district games that are weak (let's be honest, we all know that's true) does us no favors.

Iron Horse · 08-30-2016, 04:16 PM

I did not get a chance to watch this game because I was watching my home team play (and is very bad by the way) I did watch Capital 2 years ago and if they are close to what they were then, this is a GREAT win for JC
