Anybody Believe The Blair Football Team Is For Real Now?

Blair's Football Logo Well folks, I kind of jumped on the band wagon a while back when I started watching film on this group of players and coaches. The entire focus seemed to be on a young Junior running back by the name of Ryan Randall……and why not. The young man accumulated 9 yards short of 2,100 yards rushing during the 9 game re… Continue

Antlers Capitalize on Kearney Turnovers

Thought I’d better check out to see how good that Elkhorn rushing offense was tonight and the perfect measuring stick seemed like the Kearney Bearcats. Coach Brandon Cool’s stingy rushing defense has given up an average of only around a 110 yards a game, but it was 2 critical turnovers in a short span that spelled doom for the ‘Cats on this beautiful football evening/turned cold and windy Friday night. The Antlers came out running with 230 bruiser Trevor Roach doing the damage on an 11 play 3:16… Continue

Pleasanton dazzles Hampton 36-6

Pleasanton's Sean Campbell breaks free......again. If Hampton was as confused/surprised as I was as the game began, it’s no small wonder the Bulldogs came away with an impressive, if not stunning 36-6 victory over the hometown Hawks in a battle of D-2 unbeaten kingpins. OK, here is how things normally go when Pleasa… Continue
