    Saw this bell being built over in Creston the other night...I would say that is bigger than GoFalcons.

    Look people I apologize for coming down on all of you. Yes it will be an awesome game and both teams are sportsman. The quotes I posted are straight from Maty's FB page so he is the one that found the quotes and obviously used them for inspiration. And old wildcat you should call someone a jerk for being so proud. I would love to have a tailgate with you. My son is a starter and you hear his name called alot. I am a very proud parent and will always support them. I'll simply sit back now and let the kids do the talking on the field. Best of luck to both teams and may it be an injury free game.

    I have long feared a cast iron arms race!

    I know we have supremacy over Waynedale, Beast could barely pick mine up.
    Norwayne showed last week, they don't even have the talent to ring one.

    This post is more like it. IMO posters do not need to be rude to show your pride. Just make a prediction like Kenton 52 - Norwayne 14. That tells it all. I am sure I have been cheering for your son and praying for his saftey regulary as I do for the entire team. Would welcome you to tailgate anytime. We will be there before noon in the parking lot NE of the stadium.

    I might get there early enough to meet the Kenton fans before I head over to join the WCAL faithful.

    If someone actually posted that Wallace was going to have a better game, Facebook or anywhere else, they're either high school kids or Kenton fans (at least for this game) hoping to stir the team.

    oldwildcat_65 and I are contemplating combining our tailgates, if we can. And don't forget us non-WCAL Triway guys!

    Good Luck Bobcats.....the area is behind ya!

    And for those hoping for 30mph winds, according to Weather.com, it's going to be "From SSE 9 mph" at kickoff. Sorry. :(

    Still have 3? I need 3.

    Sorry, I didn't post an update from earlier today. I'm down to 1 ticket left. The other 2 have been taken.
  • O-Trap
    By the way, Fackler sounds huge for a safety!

    Per the Daily Record, the three-headed running attack for Norwayne has 2,715 rushing yards on the season, while Wallace has 2,677 passing. That doesn't include any 2nd stringers at the end of games, but it would show the balance this starting offense has.

    ***14. Really...,14 is all you 2 say the B-Cats will score? Kenton only held 3 of their opponents to 14pts or less. That means you're saying that 11..E L E V E N......teams that Kenton played this yr All had better offenses than Norwayne. That's the most insane prediction anywhere. I will happily wager ANY amount against that. The Commish could hold the $ till after the game....,or till the B-Cats pass 14. Nation & _65.....Is a c-note enough, or you wanna go higher?:thumbup:
  • oldcatQB
    Nuts. I'll have 2 buy at the gate. School quits at 4pm. Any1 else have 3 to go?

    Wasn't meant to be a slam. The Dogs were young this year. It happens.

    Nice! Even better!
  • thePITman
    Just like the Norwayne/Orrville and Norwayne/Johnstown-Monroe games, I'll have a red Ford ranger truck w/ cap for the tailgate tomorrow. I thinking about putting up the EZ-up, too. If I can find a folding table, I'll have that out to set stuff on. We should be set on bratwursts, and I have double-digit burgers. Drinks should be fine, too. Thanks to those who offered to bring things. Still feel free, but hopefully we won't need it.

    Ecstatic for this game tomorrow!! There's going to be some fireworks for sure, and definitely going to be some points put on the board. A great type of game for those who fancy offense! Looking forward to a great game, and to both teams, know that you have made your schools, communities, and counties proud! Go Cats! :D

    **:thumbup:Love it:thumbup: I'm proud 2c others hoisting up "REFUSE to lose." I gave a letter to the team b4 the Hillsdale game telling them how we got mad as hell when our Daily Record "unanimously" picked H-dale to beat us....,in their very 1st game in the WC league. DR even had a nice article picking them to possibly win the title in their 1st yr. Still remember their 2 huge tackles....Hoover & Moffit. Also had the high hurdle champ, Brian Bodager, at running back. We got off the bus looking for anything in blue & gold to punch in the mouth. Never seen my team that friggin' mad. We went to war & REFUSED to lose. We took everything they had...then we took their heart. H-dale finished dead last that yr.,& it took them 41yrs to win the title. My letter to them was 2 pages but the words I kept repeating to Adam & his team were....REFUSE to lose. Sure looked like that was in their heads on that last drive. Since then, I have used those words in numerous posts, emails, & comments in the DR since the H-dale game. Most every playoff game we were not favored, and behind in most games, but damned if they haven't just...,REFUSED to lose.
    **Honestly, I don't care if you get beat by a hundred. You are winners. You have done everything your coaches have asked from you...,and more. Since kids, you have laughed, cried, broke bones, & hearts together. Now you have clawed:thumbup:your way to a height no Norwayne alum has ever been. I want you to enjoy the view. Breathe it all in so you never forget it. It's ok now to feel proud of yourselves. Those who know you always have been. More eye candy in the trophy case is not necessary. You've already added plenty & your names are in the record books for all time. Just think, after Sat., many of you seniors will never wear the pads again. No more puking in hot 2a days. No more coach grabbing your facemask & yelling in your helmet. No more practice, practice, practice. So make it count....bc you will miss it. I know. No, you're not favored in this game either...,but I promise, again this Sat., somewhere,... you WILL see that old guy holding up that(now tattered)homemade sign. And now, you only have to REFUSE to lose....1 more time.:thumbup:ROLL CATS, ROLL


    PS, No offense Falcon....,Your guys have a good program. But I still bleed Scarlet & Gray.

The last team to doubt Kenton's talents had 9 touchdowns and 505 yards put on them is less than 3 quarters of football. The boys are chomping at the bit for their chance at this one. I have one piece of advice for your boys.....tell them to strap that bucket on their head real tight because the train is coming to town!
    Maybe Kenton is unbeatable. Maybe. Then i had a Piffiny:p. What would i do against a QB as great as Mauk w/all the National passing records?? I'd make him run. Every single play. I would see he had 50 carries if i could. You have a better chance against a running team if you can make them pass...yes? At 185lbs, Mauk may be a "punishing" runner, but I'll take Wallace(just as fast & 20-25lbs bigger)& co., "laying the wood" to him as our best chance to win. Yes, he makes you miss...,but not every run. I would jam up all those wideouts at the line & get after him. Every down. Make the passer run & be the only ball carrier. He'd start "sliding down after 4 or 5 good sloberknockers. Maybe not, but I like my chances alot better when i get a chance to lay a big hit on the passing QB....every down. Also noticed he's @7yds deep on the snap. Good idea. He doesn't have to drop any further so he just steps & throws. But...,this makes for a longer snap from the center. He has 2b good every time bc bad snaps would mess things up. I would..,& have, put my meanest man on the center & had him "blast that center on his back the second you see that ball move." Do it the 1st 2 downs b4 it moves..,just so he knows what he's in for....all night long. Couple off-sides penalties to start the game is ok. There will be bad snaps. Don't get pissy. They all wear pads & a helmet. You think for 1 sec. I'm gonna let Mauk sit back there & pick me apart...,& just runs when HE wants to......yer crazy. This is the State title game & I'm givin' my team the best chance at winning. Prolly ain't gonna happen. :mad: I ain't the coach. I'm just sayin'.
    ***Now i remember where i heard that "train" stuff. The Jonnies kept sayin' "Beware the Pain Train." That seems like a long time ago, now doesn't it?? We've been ridin' the RTL train for some time now. EVERYBODY!......."REFUSE to lose!"
    :pHope it's a great game & no 1 gets hurt:p
