Well I finally met Dillardboy tonight at this game.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching it with him even though it didn’t turn out like we would have hoped.  The truth is after Planation went up early Dillard was in control from then on taking a 14-13 lead at halftime.  The play of the game happened late in the 3rd with Dillard was inside red zone when a Plantation DB  intercepted and took it 90+ yards to the house.  In the 4th quarter Dillard once again was in the red zone.  Instead of kicking the field goal they go for it on 4th down.  The pass to a wide open receiver was too low to catch.  Give credit to Plantation.  The final score was Plantation 21 Dillard 14.  Plantation has a nice team.  They took the early lead before Dillard woke up.  Dillard coaches, players and fans will have to ask themselves for a while what happened. BTW, Dillard’s band is for real.  Their halftime show was done with class.  If you told me they were a college band I would believe you.  They sound was clear and spot on.  

LAZ obviously wasn't impressed by a 10-0 record against one of the weakest schedules in the entire state.  The outcome was predictable and I feel for our Dillard friend who had such high expectations while ignoring the obvious.  Think I've seen this movie before. 

Props to them, especially their QB who managed to make throws continually under duress to move the chains thru the air mostly on short completions.  No question we had the better team, just not executing at the level we are capable of for a variety of reasons so if we would have lost it would have been hard for us to swallow as well.  We have run out of time to correct those mistakes but still have a good shot of winning the semifinal matchup with South Lake as the region is weak outside of Armwood.  Not disrespect intended for South Lake or other playoff teams in this region, just an old timer's view. 

Ray, I used to live in the Durant district so I am good friends with a family that has 2 sons that play for the Cougars.  The father kept me abreast via text the entire game.  They were very happy that they were ahead in the 4th quarter.  They love their head coach but they are seriously questioning the coach’s fake punt call.  When Durant found out they were going to have play the Kowboys in the playoffs again they weren’t too happy about it.  Then to have the game to go so well for them only to lose that way is hard for them to swallow. Congratulations to your Kowboys!

Yeah I remember that but part of that happened because the regions were too small and filled with a lot of bad teams
