Hi, I haven't been on here in a while, but I'd like to address a few comments.

Inkster's win was indeed impressive..for them to come all the way down and win in Death Valley is a feat in itself. Big Red doesn't lose at home very often. The key turning point of the game was when our QB, Dwight Macon (headed to CMU), was knocked out for the entire 3rd quarter. Inkster took advantage of that and took the lead. Big Red came back in the 4th, but to the Vikings' credit, they scored on a long pass play with under a minute to go. They had the best offense we faced all year, and the best QB that I've seen us play in my 40 years of watching Big Red Football.

As for the semi final vs Mooney, well as mentioned Mooney is a football factory. Big Red beat them last year in the playoffs, but this year we had serious trouble stopping their tailback Braylon Heard, who is going to Nebraska. We also had numerous injuries, but that's not an excuse. We are a small school and not very deep at some positons, so when you replace key players, there is a big dropoff. But we return most of the team, so we will take another shot at Mooney next year.

I also heard that we are trying to get Inkster back for the opener. But reading on the other thread about their coach is leaving, who knows if it will happen.
