OVC Championship: Fairland (6-3; 3-1) @ Coal Grove (8-1; 4-0

[fuzzhead]

With Coal Grove having already clinched at least a share of their third straight OVC Title and having won at least 8 regular season games for the first time since 1992, the Hornets will now try to cap off an outstanding regular season with a win against Fairland. A win would almost certainly guarantee the Hornets a spot in the playoffs for the 1st time since 1996.

Fairland, on the other hand, will be trying to get over a shocking upset loss to Chesapeake on senior night and will be shooting for a 2nd straight OVC title share.

Let the p***ing contest begin!

if cg comes out and plays like how they been and not have a relapse of last years game this would be a very interesting game to attend

[jl724]

If the Dragons even want to think about winnin the must get the ball in Boomers hands atleast 30 times.
Something they should have been doing all season, but the coaching staff doesn't seem to understand that!!

I'll be in attendance of this game.. should be a good one!

[pbuck]

Coal Grove IMO

[highlightreel25]

YOU HAVE TO GIVE THE BALL TO BOOMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is your best playmaker no matter what anyone says....you cant just give him the ball 10 times and expect to win, and the run defense is gonna have to step it up big time because groves gonna watch the last 2 weeks in particular and see that fairland has given up about 600 yards rushing!!!!!!! Get your heads outta your butts and win a share of the OVC!!! lets go green...goodluck to grove as well, this seems to becoming a rivalry of its own...im lovin it

It's getting back to the way it was in the 80s.

was some great games then. this could be a great one as well LETS GO GROVE!!!!!!

This will be a great game, the only problem I see with the Hornets right now is the DB's need to learn to defend the receiver and look back at the quarterback, we are getting beat on pass plays because by the time our db's look back the ball is already in the recievers hands.

Best game in the series was probably in 1996 when Fairland stopped Dusty Smith on the 2 point conversion and left town with a 37-36 win!

[fuzzhead]

Best game I've seen in the series was the match-up in 2004. Coal Grove gets down 21-0 in the 1st quarter and eventually win 42-41 on a 2-pt conversion.

I don't know that knocking fairland's coaches gameplan is what a dragon fan wants to do... In all honesty, how many people thought that Fairland would be in the position that they are now in before the season started?

The new coaching staff is why they are where they are at. They know what the players need to do to win and will call plays accordingly. After that, it's all up to the player!

BTW, I will be at this game and shooting photos if anyone is interested. Good luck to both teams as they square up for a playoff birth!

I agree as far as an entertaining game fuzz but liked earps example better because of the outcome. Both great games though.

[purplecrusader41]

fairland lets step it up and shut them down like we did last year! our defense needs to do something cause it got ran over by chesapeakes line and we have a big line in adam lee if i was the coaches i would make him keep his head down and plug up some holes and make coal grove turn to the outside game. if fairland plays like we have in the past 2 years fairland will win this game thats just my opinion tho

[earp]

The 86 game was a classic as well,2 overtime thriller for the outright OVC title!Brian Davis 250 plus rushing for the Grove and Paul Short from Fairland with 250 plus rushing!Fairland missed 2 field goals in the overtimes that would have won the game!

Great Game!
Came down to Lucas going for 2 to win instead of kicking the extra point to tie..
