high school football

[leadfootGTP]

just had the first game of my season...

a little background -- My high school (Madison West) used to have an incredible football program, this was back in like the 70s and 80s, but they litteraly had to get on a bus and drive out of wisconsin to find teams willing to play them cause they killed everyone. But for watever reason things slowly went downhill for them, leading up to last year, my first season starting on varsity (as a sophomore ) when we lost EVERY GAME, all of them. Mostly because Our head coach, Gilby brought in all new coached below him, the best, and they put in an incredibly complicated offence and defense, so we couldnt run it very well.

Two-a-days started on august 10th and the coached had every intention of busting our asses, around one hour was spent on conditioning every day, and they made sure we worked out the kinks in our offence, and brought in an even more aggressive defence. We are all tierd of losing so most of the players pushed through it, knowing that they would be payed back for their effort on friday night.

Friday night came yesterday. We faced Madison Memorial, coached by one of the sons of Madison west's old head coach from back when we were great, and this year Memorial was ranked 4th in the state. Coach gilby brought in a newspaper which predicted that we would be crushed 35-0 by Memorial. In the first half we played like crap, tons of penalties and what not, and more importantly, we were doen 13-6. However, in the second half me and the rest of the boys on the o line came ready to hit. We crused them up the middle with 24-25 isos, gives, and powers, and drove into our endzone 3 times in the second half, killing memorial, ranked 4th in the state, 28-19, we ended the game by taking an knee and running out the clock, but we were on the 3 yard line, so they should be thankful that we were gracious enough not to raise our score to 35.





ANYWAY i just had to write that down, but i was wondering if any ex / current football players had any stories about the game that they want to share.

Nice thread!

My team, the Heritage Eagles, have a HUGE rivalry, one of the biggest in the state, with the Arapahoe Warriors. Every year, we play them in a showdown game for the Brookridge Trophy. Well, we had been on a dry speel of about 5 years without the trophy in our house.

We go into the match undefeated, and its a huge battle the whole game. Well, its about 2 minutes left and were up by a field goal. And its very intense. Both stands are packed, and both are fired up. Arapahoe drives down the field, and scores. The place hoes nuts, and our team is bummed. So with about a minute left, we drive 90 yards with a hurry up offense, and on the last play of the game, we run a run to the left on the 5 yardline. Our star running back gets stuffed, and our side goes silent, theres goes nuts, and just when it was all over, our QB sprints outside and makes it to the corner of the endzone.

That was the most intense moment I have ever felt.

HS Football kicks ass.

Hey..i didnt play football but since your from wisconsin you might know where oak creek is? its the city south of milwaukee. Well out football team goes undefeated almost every year and then when they get to playoffs, the coach will make them do plays that they rarely practice and then they loose. Hes an idiot. My dad went to the same high school that i went to. his picture hangs in the weight room because his team won state back in 72.

Do you guys think De La Salle's streak is going to end this year? I thought for sure Long Beach Poly was going to beat them last year, but I was wrong for once.

this is my last year(most likely) playing football, my team was just like leadfoot's. we were once really a good damn team, but then our head coach left and we got another one, he was a really cool guy but not the greatest when it came to coaching. well anyways last year came and we got a new head coach(my junior year) and along with him came the coolest guy ive ever met, la'tef grim, former wide reciever for the pittsburg panthers(college) and former wide reciever for the lions... he is now our offensive coach and my god has he turned our program around, before my junior year my school did not win a single game for over 4 years. but last year came and we went i think 4-6 which i dont think is bad. and now this year has started. our first real game is in two weeks and we're gonna tear ass all over everyone

damn our teams do have a lot in common, our offensive coordinator that came in is also and ex college/nfl player, Bob Lansee, played Center and Guard for the wisconsin badgers and then for the eagles, offensive coordinator for some arena football team in Indianna during the off season. I swear to god he knows everything about the game, he even gives our kickers and punters advice on their form, damn good at it too. I donno, hes just the type of person that lives totaly for football.

Sissy boys play football - Real men play hockey!

Not to get too much off subject, but isn't Rugby and football similar (except for the uniforms)? I never liked the name Football since the only time you ever actually use your foot is when you kick it, they are mostly carrying it. Hence it should be called Carryball.
