CHILLICOTHE- 10 @ GALLIA ACADEMY- 27 GAME UPDATES

[Fun in the Sun]

Your right 78, great win for this team, and they do have the most respect for their coach! , yes one so called blue supporter will get back on his agenda.
Wilson had a big game tonight ...that kid is FAST!! and blocking up front was very good!
X had a monster defensive game.......

[mattash]

Congrats to Gallia Academy. I bet the fan support for Gallia was good again tonight.

[Mighty Mighty Devils]

Pretty good play calling tonight and low turnovers helped the devils win tonight. The field was terrible to play on I am sure. But fun to watch
CONGRADS ON YOUR FIRST "W" OF THE SEASON

[91blue14]

glad to hear you got a win. that is something to build on

[Tjhtygeverve]

rock on gallia... a program with class W or L!

[galliagrad89]

A very touching moment after tonights game. After the usual team talk on the field, the boys sprinted to the victory bell and chanted "Eddy, Eddy, Eddy" until coach came over and they rang the bell. I don't know coach, but I can tell you that those boys respect that man greatly. The naysayers should really have seen that tonight. Once again the student section was tremendous, wish the adults could find a way to be loud and proud. Congrats to the Blue and Coach!

That's pretty cool!! Congrats

Glad to see one of the best most well respected programs in the area get their first win of the season. Great job Devils now build upon this win, practice hard and good things will happen in the future.

Very well put Mr. GalliaGrad78. I can only speak for one player on the team but you are correct.

[2old]

First let me congratulate the seniors and especially Nick Roach. i know how hard he works. Secondly the staff. And thirdly blue and 91blue. How about the the Blue wins a game(or is that the white).

Back on the radio for a second. i caught some of this game on the radio and it sounded good to me. They sounded pretty happy that the Blue was winning.

Sorry to blu and grey or whatever but I have a theory.

I beleive you have "Wiseman Envy".

Keep up the good work Jimmy.

Congrats Big Blue! I am sure some of the "Blue Faithful" will say "act like you been there before" in regards to the celebration after the game. In my opinion, I'm not sure we have been there before. Sure we have had tons of success in the past, but the "team " concept has not been as prevelant as i have seen it this year. In the past when times got tough, teamates turned against one another, turned against coaches, even the fans turned against coaches and players alike. But this year, this TEAM has stuck together. They have lost as a team, they have grown as a team, and won as a team, and last night celebrated as ateam. I love what i am seeing. Good luck Coach Eddy and good luck the rest of the way Blue Devels/

High school football victories should not be celebrated before a game is played, or while a game is being played.

After the game is over ring your bell or do whatever your tradional celebration is, you earned it.

The coach is doing a great job!

we are lucky to have this guy who they chant "eddy...eddy...eddy"

Coach Eddy is respected because it is visible that he loves football, and the players can see that. Well 4ever, I think they should be moe fair to offials IMHO. However, Tom and Jimbo were a lot worse and I'm glad I don't have to listen to them rant for five minutes just to get the score anymore.

[radioman]

hey bliz, you sound like you have broadcast envy, i notice you are a meigs fan, and a proud program they have. so why the hate on blue broadcasters. certainly you could listen to the fine guys that do your games, and not ours. ps thats why they have tuners for radio, dont like what you hear, turn the knob

[GalliaGrad78]

Does anyone know where Pethel was? What a tremendous player.

[blaze275]

He sat out with an injury.

[jottings]

Wow...Two top players miss Chillicothe game and GAHS still managed to win.

There were lots of sophomores and juniors in Friday's lineup. Even the freshmen got to dress with the varsity Friday night.

If these kids continue to work hard, the Blue Devils future looks bright.

You have that right!!!!!!! Unless you know the rules,leave the officials alone.

Congrats Big Blue on the victory. Josh,Jimmy good job!!!

4ever please don't grade my English. There's a difference between me and the other's. I already know my grammar is poor,the other's don't!!!!!!!

I've said all along that Coach Eddy was THE man that will take this program BACK to where it should be!!!!!!! RESPECTED!!!!! No more "I" but "WE" as a team.
