bluemoon07 hit the nail right on the head the last comment. The "experts" are always sitting in the bleachers!

It's always easier to coach

It's always easier to coach from the sidelines...

Bottom line is Norwood only

Bottom line is Norwood only scored 7 points.

The defense did keep Norwood

Jason Allen — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:43:28 -0500

The defense did keep Norwood out of the endzone, however, with 2:42 to go in the game, with the score 14-7, Norwood matches right down the field and drops a touchdown, with ball in his hands. My question to the Defense coach would be.....How come we let them throw that 8-9 yard pass on the side line 7 times in a row. I guess I would have made an adjustment and atleast jammed the wide reciever coming off the line of scrimmage. We play that soft 10 yard prevent defense and get burned all the time. I also liked the way that Norwood controlled the tempo of the game, really took the high scoring Jordan offense off the field. Good luck on Tuesday night Hubmen!

Looking at the score of last

Looking at the score of last night's Hubmen game at Norwood it appears that the defense did some improving. Good job KIDS. Good job Hubmen.

I will never take anything

Jason Allen — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 18:38:21 -0500

I will never take anything away from the kids of Jordan sports. I have and will always be a supporter of all the JHS sport programs. But sometimes facts are facts. I have asked numerous players whats wrong with the defense, and they all say the same thing. I am very proud of each on of the players, they have had to deal with the need to put of at least 40 points to have a chance at winning this year and have done it many times. Good Luck this Wednesday over in Norwood.

Good post Tubbs I see

Good post Tubbs I see nothing wrong with comparing this years teams to the teams of the past. We should celebrate our kids participation and thier accomplishments. There's nothing wrong with drawing some comparisions to past teams. It's not any different than a team that wins the conference being compared to the team that won it all or a team that doesn't win the conference being compared to one that did. People need to stop being so **** soft!!!!

Fatalbert makes a great

Mathias Baden — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 09:15:56 -0500

Fatalbert makes a great point. It's fine to state the facts, such as "This year's team has given up X number of points in X number of games, the most since X year." But don't be too tough on them. With kids, as much as they provide a team for residents to rally around and as much as we want them to perform at a high standard (or at least play at a level of which we know they are capable), they are still kids. Keep working hard, boys. You're making this town proud!

Jason, please remember that

fatalbert — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 07:33:07 -0500

Jason, please remember that these are high school kids on a high school team you are talking about when you speak of the defense being so bad (the worst in 20 years according to you). This is a public forum, and I don't think that a high school team should be under the same kind of scrutiny a pro team would. I know you're entitled to your opinion, but let's remember these are 16-18 year old KIDS.

Sibley East is riding a 13

Andrew Link — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 23:06:54 -0500

Sibley East is riding a 13 game MRC losing streak. Hard times in Wolverine land.

Wednesday's game against NYA should be a good one. Good luck Hubmen!

You are right the defense

bucky — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:24:16 -0500

You are right the defense has been WEAK to say the least. I was not at the game, and I don't know the history of the opponent. If our boys hope to have any chances in playoffs, they'll need to dramatically improve their defense. Especially special teams--I have only been to 2 games this year and I saw 3 run-backs on a punt/kickoff.

Defense improving???? Were

Jason Allen — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:10:11 -0500

Defense improving???? Were you at the game on Friday night in Arlington? We gave up touchdowns and alot of offense to the the worst team in the MRC. I have said this all year. Probally the best offense I have seen in about 10 years and also at the same time the worst defense I have seen in about 20.

Still though, your right about hats off. I am glad the offense has been SO good this year. Looks like a home play off game for the Hubmen.

Hats off to our boys for

bucky — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 20:25:26 -0500

Hats off to our boys for shaking off last week's loss, and it's great to hear our defense is improving. Regardless of what comes next, this has been a fine football season for the Hubmen.

Hubmen defeat Sibley East

Todd Abeln — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 23:35:28 -0500

One week after suffering a tough loss to Holy Family, Jordan took their frustrations out on Sibley East.

The Hubmen defeated Sibley East 56-26 to improve to 5-2 on the season.

The game started out with a bang as Jordan took the opening kickoff and drove the ball for a touchdown. Sibley East answered by returning the Jordan kickoff for a touchdown. They missed the extra point to cut the lead to 7-6.

Jordan answered right back with another touchdown for a 14-6 lead. They would score two more times before the end of the first quarter to push their lead to 28-6.
