Jonesboro

The coin toss had nothing to do with the outcome of this game. BC dominated a Jonesboro team who didn't show up. I see a pattern starting to form with Jonesboro... They freeze up when the lights are the brightest. This team just never gets the job done when it matters most. No question about it there one of the best regular season team in the last 10 years. But in BIG playoff games the eagles don't come to play.

No, the coin toss did not decide the game. JB is one of 2 teams who did make state this year that did not win. After getting pretty close for several years congrat's to them. I think they learned what it takes and might be back again in the next few years.
 
I was told the ref never gave the kid a "defer" option...just said "Kick, or Receive"...they obviously wanted to defer...but since no option to defer was given and pressured to pick they said kick without realizing what it meant really.

Odd thing that both teams were confused by. In the end it played no part in outcome, just will go down as an odd tidbit to the game
 
This is to OJ , you are always hating on the eagles and loving on the bulldogs, are u upset that we made it to state this year and have beaten y'all the last 3 years ? We made history this year and are very proud of the young men on the team. We played the game without one of our great running backs, who knows if we could have beaten them with him, but were there to play. U take number 1 out of the bulldogs lineup and there a different team. It would take a miracle for the bulldogs to beat Richland springs next year, but good luck any way.
 
I was very impressed with "OJ's" insightful and analytical dissection of the Jonesboro kids and their coaches, however, being relatively new to this site, I must admit that I don't know which State Championship School he coached at or which State Championship Team he played on.
Could someone enlighten me so that I can be aware of the wealth of experience and knowledge he speaks from?

That's the coaching staff's job. I could hear the official say "kick? or receive" but he doesn't give the four options. Normally it's "You won the toss, what do you wanna do?"
 
Well, I was just considering his analysis of the Jonesboro kids and how they can't win the big one. How the kids and coaches "don't show up".
Calallen Coach Danaher, has the most wins in Texas Football History, over 400, almost 100 more than Gordon Wood. He has been to the semi's 10 times and to the finals twice, And doesn't have even one State Title, so I guess using the "OJ" standard he and all of those kids over all those years are kinda uncommitted and not very good because they must have not "shown up".
Man, there must be some rarified air at the top of that Mountian!
 
The sad thing is Milford has the talent to beat someone like Richland, but not the team to do it. Football is a team sport. Look a Calvert for instance, only one state trip.
 
Poor kid is right gohorns. If I may demonstrate my ignorance once more... I was never a team captain and thus never had to tell the ref what we wanted to do.
Until RJ and Elk explained I never knew the details involved in the wording. I thought the terms inferred the same thing so to speak. Defer meant we want the ball to start the second half and we get to choose which end zone we defend now. Kick means we get the ball to start the second half as well.
Standing on the 50 yard line of jworld pumped, ready for the biggest game of your life, in front of more, louder fans than ever before I can see how a young man might utter the wrong term.
There's a good chance he may have kicked his own butt hard enough his heart hurts by now.
But, once again, it doesn't matter. A kickoff wouldn't have changed who won or lost IMO.
I screwed up once playing football. It was just the 7th grade but it worked out well for me.
As a guard I pulled left, the play went right. Coach tried me the next week at nose tackle. I did a little better there and had a lot more fun.
Then there was that one year I coached pee wee and learned low little I really knew about the game (killed by reverses 1st 2 games). We were driving for the winning td when the clock got down to 1:56 and I yelled stop the clock! Two minute warning! HC Jerry (not Burkhart) turned and quietly said "Ron, uh that's only in in the pro's" (I actually knew this but had a brain fart in the excitement of the minute).
There was no bench to go try to hide under.
