Congrats to New Pal. They were as good as advertised. Good luck the rest of the season!

Chatard has nothing to be ashamed of, fell just a few plays short. That sophomore class is going to be fun to watch the next couple of years.

That was an incredible game. Chatard's QB dotted two throws on must-score drives to keep them in it in the first half, then the defenses bowed up in the second half after the game was tied. 

Ranes scores on the first play of OT, then a third-string LB comes in and makes a huge TFL in OT to set the tone for Chatard's last possession.

I know you’re being sarcastic…but I honestly think people don’t realize the HHC is actually a pretty good middle class conference. I know New Pal has had some big wins in conference but people also don’t realize the conference all plays in the same sectional basically as well. Hope the Dragons keep it rolling a couple more weeks

Ralph must be reading the board (the guy is *always* looking for some bulletin board material). He referenced that in our postgame radio interview ... "I know people say we don't play a tough schedule, but people don't realize how much our conference really prepares us well for tournament time. They've played a lot of good teams, but they hadn't played New Pal." 

The HHC has some really good, well-coached teams. We just don't see it come to fruition much in November because 6 of the 8 are in the same sectional, but it's produced four state champs in the last decade.

Have New Pal’s starters played a meaningful minute of football in the second half of any of their games?

The captain returns with some well timed receipt keeping.  Gotta love it.
