Was going to reply to your comment with what you said in your last sentence. I was at Prattville the year they lost to St. Xavier and was at the game they lost to Don Bosco. I did not attend the St. X game, so I can't really comment on that gone. Prattville was better than Don Bosco and should have whipped them. However, they made no adjustments on offense. I was sitting in the stands watching the middle of the field stay wide open for quick slant after quick slant while Prattville ran the ball straight into Bosco's defense.Sadly most "experts" will still think Alabama teams will get stomped against Texas teams just because they think year in and year out Texas is the only state loaded with recruits and good teams. Alabama holds their own in both, and Hoover should beat Allen as well.
I remember when Hoover beat Nease everyone said they were simply not that good, yet Tebow led them to the state title that year. Of course Prattville didn't help our cause when they played their few big games
Idk hoover is projected to be $20 million over the salary cap.You guys got some quality recruits coming in for the 2016 season? :wink:

Well if these "experts" think Hoover going to be intimidated and simply roll over against a Texas team than they have another thing coming. Since 2003 Hoover has built a reputation from playing teams from different states.Sadly most "experts" will still think Alabama teams will get stomped against Texas teams just because they think year in and year out Texas is the only state loaded with recruits and good teams.

Well looking back at the record books, Prattville has had less success than Hoover when it comes to playing out of state teams.RTR I agree, Prattville definitely had more talent than Bosco and bailed them out time after time when they should have put a whooping on them. Of course Hoover blew the game in Ohio that they should have won too IIRC.
Yeah he did. The key to beating Hoover is doing it as a team. VERY rarely does one man ever do that. I can only think of one other occasion when that happened and that was 2005 against Tuscaloosa County when their QB had 6 rushing TD's. Although Hoover beat them in the playoffs 42-8 in a rematch. As for Hoover playing as a team has always been their bread and butter as oppose to having some All American QB or RB carrying the team or having like 6-8 D1 prospects like a lot of other powers around the country have.I was at that Curtis game. Joe McKnight won that one for them. Those two big TD passes to him was the difference. I still think Hoover should have beat them but like you said when they went up 14-0 they thought it was over but it was only beginning.
Colerain was given their win as well. IIRC Rush even had a good kicker that year too.
And yes it seemed like Prattville was the deer in the headlights when they played on t.v.
Yeah they had already won like 20 state championships at that point. Of course they are a private school and can "recruit" players to come.When we went to the Hoover/Curtis game some kid (I say kid, he was probably 19) was wearing about 4 on his finger that John Curtis won sitting in front of us.
Also that wouldn't be possible for Hoover kids to get 4 rings because freshman don't dress out for varsity otherwise I would have gotten one in '04. Also to the best of my knowledge, Hoover has won more games than any other team in the country since 2000 with a 199-21 record.Oh yea they definitely hand pick kids down that way for sure.
Of course these days even the public schools are recruiting.
Everything is repaired for any of you making the trip next year. And for any of you wondering, the district did not pay one dime towards the fix. The GC, architect, and engineering firms paid the bill, including a separate check for loss of stadium revenue to the district.Wow check this out, looks like Allen is having some issues....

I'm still here. 2015 was a down year like 2007 was. Hoover will rebound like they always do. GO BUCS!!!Lazlo, I'm not sure there are any Hoover fans left after being beaten by Spain Park 17-0 for the first time ever Thursday night....
