We were up 14-0 at half and were even on turnovers at that point which was huge for us. Up 21-7 with 6 minutes to go in the game. We gave a long pass to West for the TD. 21-14. They then kicked the onside which was a very good kick and we misplayed the bounce, they recovered. They drove down and scored again, 21-21. We get the ball back with 3-minutes to go. It was really odd but it really looked we were just playing for overtime at this point, which I just don’t think is the best strategy unless you feel like you’re a highly inferior team and we shouldn’t have at that point. Nevertheless we have to punt. West gets it and can’t do much with it. West gets the ball first in OT and scores on a QB scramble but we block the extra point. We score on our second play and then our young sophomore kicker/soccer player who has only played football this year, secures the win. Great ending for him and the team! Glad that we won the game just wish we would have been a little more aggressive with our playcalling while playing with a lead early.

ZERO unforced turnovers for us on the night and we won the turnover battle 2interceptions to 1. Huge for us right now.
West has a very solid sophomore QB that is going to be tough in the future.

Mark my words, if West continues to run this style offense and the QB develops you will see kids will want to move into this district to play in their offense in the next few years. It is definitely an offense kids will want to be a part of and some parents of skill position players will want it to.

Mark my words, if West continues to run this style offense and the QB develops you will see kids transfer/move into this district to play in their offense in the next few years. It is definitely an offense kids will want to be a part of and with Henderson county being pretty open to intra-county transfers, kids will go there.

You have to sit out a year in HC if you transfer.

What are you taking about?

When did this change? They’ve always been open to it if it was inside the county schools. Outside the county, yes, it was fought majorly and opposed, especially if a kid was trying to leave for Buncombe.

Henderson County high school students who transfer lose a year of eligibility for any sport that they were on the eligibility roster for at their previous high school.

Ok, sorry to misphrase it but kids will want to play there and some parents will want it also. It may happen pre-high school but people will want to play in that system enough to say a kid is living with another family member,etc and this can be done before high school. If it is a legitimate “move”, it’s hard to police and it happens these days. I’m not trying to poke holes in the system, just complimenting the coach’s style because he’s doing what kids are after these days.

Did you see what was said? Or you just asking questions just to do so

You said that under a post that never mentioned transfer and I was serious. You later explained it.As for the rule I believe it is the same in Haywood County.
