Floyd Central Football shared this earlier. This was written by a Columbus East fan. I think the East fans will really appreciate the class shown by both sides here. “Below is a message from a Columbus East fan to Floyd Central Football... I would like to say thank you for being a class act football team athletes coaches and fans. We celebrate a milestone for our Coach Gaddis and you were genuine when you all applauded him before the game started. Thank you for the respect and thank you for your class act. Signed Self Proclaimed Columbus East Football Fan. Thank you and good luck for the rest of your season and future endeavors.”

I appreciate it. Unfortunately it’s just part of the game. You hate to see it happen. Floyd Central obviously doesn’t have the caliber of talent that a program like Columbus East has. But being a school of 1800 kids, they do have some decent depth. Their 2nd team guys aren’t too much worse than their 1st team guys. At least right now. I mean BNL is playing Freshman right now. NA is mostly Sophomore guys right now. There are other teams like that. Fortunately for FC, they have 27 Juniors and 12 Seniors. So they have upperclassmen depth.

BNL is in good hands with Weber.

Floyd Central can handle losing this game. But they suffered some major injuries to key players. We lost 2 guys in our Secondary and 1 on the Offensive Line. 1 of them is for sure done for the season. The other 2 might make it back before the Sectional. This was worst case scenario stuff to me. I hate injuries to any HS kid.

You guys are just physically superior. But it’s been that way for a long time. Outside of 2010, I can’t remember ever matching up with East.

Defensively they are small. Their O-line is a little bit bigger this year but they need more time in the weight room. 4 of them are Juniors so hopefully they bulk up some more.

East clearly the more dominate team. I feel like Floyd played them a little bit better(at least what I heard on the radio), but very clearly there is a lot more work to be done.

I’m following the game. It seems to me that Floyd Central hasn’t come out with a lot of energy. They and other HHC teams seem to do this a lot against East, just expecting to lose. These kids need to learn that no matter the final score, you need to play your ass off for 48 minutes.

I won’t make it up tonight buddy. I had to work late tonight. Good luck. I hope everyone comes out injury free. I’ll say East by 24. 34-10.

Just not much excitement in the HHC matchups this week. I look Forward to the day, that most of these teams are on the same level(hopefully.)

Oh I understand. I expect them to roll out a strong team. Would be delusional to think otherwise. I will say, that the most underrated unit in the Conference is Floyds defense. I’d venture to say it’s the 2nd best defense in the league. I’ve been more impressed with them than Floyds offense. That defense has carried them at times. They remind me of the Brett Szabo BNL teams. Good on defense and special teams. Do just enough on offense. I’m pretty concerned they’ll get off to another slow start Friday and you’ll look up and it will be 21-0. You just can’t fall behind that fast to East or it’s a long night.

I seen what they did against Pickerington. I didn’t need anymore convincing. That’s a legit defense.

Just curious? How significant are these injuries? I know a lot about their Offense but what does their D look like? Best players?

Floyds O-Line isn’t small. Now, are they good enough to move Easts front? I’m not real convinced there. I do think that Defense and Pass Blocking are things that have improved under Coach Bragg that Brian Glesing didn’t seem to focus much on. I don’t think it will be a real competitive game Friday. 06 says 3 TDs. I’ll take that. That would be improvement.

I’m just not a big fan of guys who are Resident Whistleblowers.

No. But you are basically the message board police here. If anyone says something, you immediately fact check everything. You aren’t on the field. Stop throwing Yellow Flags. Opinions don’t always require facts. It’s all circumstancial.

I’ll give you a hand for doing this kind of work. I don’t really care. But I’ll give you props for it.

Well, I don’t know why they are throwing everyone in there? Lol. I’m not one that has been “making fun” of Seymour. Obviously, they were very good in the Joe Goodman years. If you go back the past 20 years, Floyd and BNL have been FAR more successful than Seymour. But the only football fan in here that can truly claim dominance, is a Columbus East fan. That’s a real blue blood type of program. Whoever PM you that is obviously a coward for not coming over here and posting that for whoever the fan was that offended them. It obviously wasn’t me either.

Well, since Floyd is about to play Columbus East, and BNL in a few weeks, and there are a lot of fans from both teams on here, I thought I would go ahead and make a mid-season scouting report for Floyd Central, just for fun. So opposing fans know who to look for. No predictions. I won’t give away any scheme out of respect for the Coaching Staff. And I won’t say anything negative about any player or coaches. It’s been a fun first half. Offensively-Tristan Polk is the Signal Caller. He’s a Junior. Very tall. Good arm. Threat to run. Pretty typical QB. Has made strides. Solid leader on the field. Wenkers Wright is the Tailback. A Junior. Decent size, deceptively strong, has a great stiff arm, good vision, and can explode through the hole for 6 at any point. Has been clocked in the low 4.4s many times. The backup RB is Calvin Brown. A Senior Captain. He’s a scat-back type, versatile, and has good short area quickness. Also plays WR, Slot, CB, and PR. An important player. Also at WR is Kaleb Quenichet. A Junior. He’s been the main target recently. He’s a tall, possession guy. Sure handed. Landon Deweese. A Senior. Is another good target. Just a solid football player. Floyd uses many TEs. Their O-line is made up of of 4 Jrs and 1 Sr. LT, Zen Mischalski is a Junior. Weighs in about 230 lbs. LG is Caleb Rodgers. A Junior. Weighs in at 290 lbs. The C is Isaac Hatfield. A Junior. Weighs in at 215 lbs. RG is Brenton Rodgers. A Senior. Weighs in at 270 lbs. And the RT is Trent Hyatt. A Junior. Weighs in at 290 lbs. A big, and steadily improving O-line. Defense. At LE is Seth Cook. A 215 lb Senior. At NT is Micheal Murphy, a 230 lb Senior. At DT is Daniel Cristiani. A 210 lb Senior. And at RE is Trace Richards, a 190 lb Junior. Richards a former RB, is one of the best athletes on the team and a tremendous pass rusher. Their d-line has been overall solid this season. They get after it. Well coached. At LOLB is Trent Allen, a Junior. At MLB is JD McKay, a Senior. And at ROLB is Caleb Slaughter, a JR. McKay is a Senior Co-Captain. And a sure tackler. Slaughter always seems to be all over the field making tackles. At LCB is Calvin Brown. A Senior Co-Captain. At RCB is Blake Zehnder. A Junior. FS is Trace Willman, a Senior. And SS is Landon Deweese. A Senior. The Secondary is a strength for Floyd. A lot of experience back there. Brown and Zehnder are good man cover guys. Willman is 6”3 Centerfielder that breaks up a lot of passes. Special Teams-The Kicker and Punter is Senior, Cole Hussung. The Michigan commit, has one of the strongest legs in the State. He’s still working on accuracy but his leg can impact a game. The PR is Calvin Brown. And the KR is Jaxon Farley. A Sophomore. Both guys are solid return men. Synopsis-For the most part, the team has met expectations. Well coached. And for the most part, still developing. A good Junior core, but definitely some Seniors playing roles too.

Actually, since 2010*.

In fairness, FC has played in 5 Sectional Championship games since 2011. All against Castle, Whiteland, and East. Lost all of them. It is what it is.

I liked Szabo. He built them up. Weber took over a terrible roster. Built them up. It all has to do with talent. Hell, Coach Bragg was a Head Coach for 1 year at a terrible program in Illinois and didn’t win a game. Now he has FC on the right track. It depends on talent, and it takes time. Gaddis first couple of teams at CE were beatable. Now, you have to be extremely good to beat them.

I disagree to an extent. I think you guys have had some solid teams and are the right track with Weber. Seymour looks like they are improving as well. NA send Jeff, I’m on a wait and hold pattern.

He’s a great athlete, but your defense is the real deal. I respect all the HHC teams. I’ll cheer for all the other teams come playoff time. We all want to see the HHC get stronger. Even the East fans want that.

Well that’s what I mean. I just think NA and Jeffersonville are in much bigger rebuilds right now. I think Floyd Central is better than BNL. I don’t think it’s by a wide margin. I’ve seen FC upset better BNL teams in the Sectional(2008). I’ve seen BNL upset better FC teams in the Sectional(2011). I like our chances if it’s at home. But up in Stars country........that could be dangerous.
