Like an Aerosmith tune, for Burns its the same old story, same old song and dance my friend. Ive heard the hype over and over through the years. People saying, Oh this is gonna be Burns year, the future is bright at Burns, Burns gonna be dangerous come playoff time. But it never seems to materialize. I will go ahead and make my prediction for the season now. Cue up the Aerosmith in your brains now. Here we go: Burns will win the games they are supposed to win, again. Burns will lose to KM and Shelby, again. Burns will get put out of the playoffs in the second or third round, again. Meanwhile, Crest and Shelby will make deep playoff runs, again. If they make it to the title game they will win it, again. Burns will be left having to look up to their Cleveland County brethren, again.

At what point and time are you going to go and show them how to do it? 😂

A battle for 3 3/4 of the game and all of a sudden we’re doomed. The game was a solid battle until the last 6 min. We get the QB position settled and we’re fine.

All I said was “Back Judge I hope your wife’s mad at you when you get home.”” For no reason“

He was a blind clown. ( I just thought that but I didn’t scream it).
I thought we got away with one big time. When Thompson got his feet tangled during the contact and the ref treated it like he just tripped himself. He had a clear view and kept the flag in his pocket which surprised the crap out of me.

There was a grab on that deep ball I thin the ref had a booger in his eye😂 …both teams got work to do on offense

Oh no doubt it was a grab. That’s where I thought the flag would be but Thompson fell and the ref acted like that’s why he didn’t catch it instead of the contact. I just knew the flag was coming.

So all them times they had him kick it out of bounds and give the other team the ball on the 45 last year he was capable of kicking it into the end zone?
Don’t know what team you was watching last year, but Grier had about 25 touchbacks during the season. He had an outstanding year as a kicker. Don’t recall him kicking any balls directly out of bounds last season.

Heck of a game and both defenses looked great. Don’t get a high school football game on a Saturday much so we decided to come watch some CC football. Didn’t disappoint.
Both offenses will figure it out. The offensive for Burns looked very stagnant. QB didn’t do a good job of following his blocks and I feel they went to him too many times and it seemed he went backwards more than he didn’t. Biggest question was why didn’t they feed the RB for burns more??

It was a great game and the heat was miserable. I thought Bralley showed he could hold his own out there. Close game that allowed Crest to pull away late. Heat killed us late in the game. Kids cramping all over for both teams but I don’t think we could afford it. Mental mistakes late will get you in a close one. We got a heck of a start to the season and I think we will be just fine. We got blew off the field last year but I think we will be good as it progresses.

As far as Max. I don’t think they want to overwork him like last year. He missed a lot of time with his foot. Crest was prepared to stop him and did a good job but I would have liked to see more of him as well. We need him long term though.

Enjoyed the game today. Both defenses looked strong. I’m sure both offenses will figure it out. Tough these days with fewer practices and scrimmages. Good luck to both teams on the rest of the season.

Side note (and I already know that no one cares about opinions) I didn’t like the Crest uniforms and my son loved them. 50 year old vs 17 year old.

Max has to have help. They couldn’t run him 25 times in that heat. He stays on the field too.

Burns was a little gassed in the end. Can’t judge any team on the first game.

Crest has work to do on offense. But they have some pieces. KJ has a good arm. The mental is the key there. IMO. Still , work to do.

Crest’s defense is 🔥 The front 7 anyway. DB’s weren’t tested.

Burns D is right there too.

Those are the Jordan Brand uniforms that NIKE gave them. They only wear them a couple of times.

We all got lots to work on. I ain’t hating on nobody. Those kids played hard out in that heat.

Attrition took over in the end. Burns gets a QB going look out.

The same for Crest.
With all the talent Crest has every year why can't they grow QBs?

I think we know the answer to the QB problem ,it's just a matter of time. Case has a cannon and I really don't think he looked intimidated to be out there either like most freshman would, especially against a defense like Crest. Give him some more reps and playing time, he's gonna be really good I'm gonna say he'll be the starter by the end of the year.

At what point and time is a Burns team going to prove me wrong? Id love to have to eat my words. But for now, in my best Steven Tyler voice i say: Its gonna be the same old story, same old song and dance my dogs. 😄
