After the 79-6 pounding by Shelby Valley I began to have my doubts about the Phelps football program. Then on Thursday night I watched their junior high team play Pikeville. Phelps was much, much bigger than Pikeville and Pikeville is by know means loaded with talent this year. However Pikeville beat them so badly that the game had a running clock the whole 2nd half. Pikeville could have score a hundred if they had wanted. This brings me to my point. Honestly, is it worth taking a chance on getting young kids hurt if they are never going to find people over at Phelps to teach these kids football. They are completely clueless about the game. They have a very good sized team but can barely even function. Should this continue at Phelps or at any other school for that matter that has this problem.

OKAY>... LMAO... I WAS at that game... MY CHILD played in this game and FYI... my husband (WHO played at Belfry and went to 2 state championships with them) is one of the coaches!! I think... HE knows football so that comment is WAY off the mark.....The referee's were totally clueless on what to do on certain calls.. EXAMPLE.... P'ville got called for offsides... what did they do... moved the ball 1 yard!!!! and then to top it off... they slapped a 15 yard penalty on Phelps coach for questioning him! I WAS there. AND... Phelps was without 4 or 5 (not sure) of their starters... They have Strep throat and WERE under DOCTOR'S orders not to play!!! Pikeville are WWWAAAYYYY Bigger than Phelps kids.... We have 1 12 year old who is around 6'1 and 3-13 year olds who are around 5'7 or 5'8.... IF your gonna put down a team you better find another one... My child is on this team and he literally busts his tail... He got clipped, charlie horsed, KICKED... KICKED again BUT.... kept on playing.... SO..... type away on your reply... cause I know it's comin... But do I care... NOPE.... I can type 98 words a minute.... have at it!!!!!!!!:devilflam
