Go to the Griffin Daily News for that.... here you congrat the Trojan's for stomping them jag's into the astro-turf of the new football field...! Go Trojan's and go Devin Couch!

#2 Anonymous on 08/28/09 at 06:52 PM

Devin, also, holds another record... He's the first player in LC history to ever hit 3-homeruns in one game. Devin did it just this past season @ Crawford Co. GATA Devin!!!

#3 lamar01 on 08/28/09 at 07:46 PM

We just might hang 50 on Spalding

#3.1 Anonymous on 08/28/09 at 08:30 PM

Let's hope... But, crazy things happen in football. Got a whole 2nd half to play yet. Let's hope that the Trojans keep rolling... But, don't count chickens (score) before they hatch...

Go Trojans! I'm so proud. :)

#5 Jarad Buice on 08/28/09 at 09:04 PM

Spalding said they'd score 50 points on the Trojans. I didn't see that happen. Did anyone? I didn't think so! GO TROJANS!

WAY to go TROJANS! I am extremely happy for you guys, keep it up!

#13 DThompson on 08/28/09 at 10:17 PM

Congratulations to the Lamar County Trojans!! They played AWESOME tonight. Congrats to Devin. It's great to see him on the football field and on the diamond. I also want to say a special Congratulations to All the Coaches, but especially to Coach Strickland. Your integrity, discipline, and hard work really showed tonight. Great Job!!
Looking forward to a great season.

#14 Proud Parent on 08/28/09 at 10:20 PM

Way to go Trojans!!!!!!!

aMaZiNg!!!! Trojans you did an awesome job tonight. THIS is what lamar used to be and glad to see it back! Thanks for a tremendous night! The stadium was great, the crowd control was better, and the game was well worth everything put in it. I will definitely be following the Trojans this year. Thanks players!!!!!! Great job!!!

#16 Anonymous on 08/28/09 at 10:21 PM

not to take anything away from Devin Couch but he is not the only Trojan baseball player to hit three roundtrippers in a game. Matt Johnson did it several years ago, also against Crawford County, and two of his came in the same inning. But a big WAY TO GO to Devin.

#17 Imajean Jellybean on 08/28/09 at 10:36 PM

Great game, Trojans!!! Go big blue!!!

#18 Anonymous on 08/28/09 at 10:54 PM

Great job Trojans, and great job coaches . ay to get it done!

#19 Anonymous on 08/28/09 at 11:28 PM

I have to say that tonight was a night to remember! The players looked great, the house looked great, and for the 1st time I saw the crowd really involved and supporting our kids! We need to do this every game. It really does help the kids to see us cheering them on! Way to go Trojans. And thanks Lamar Co for supporting our kids tonight! SUDDENLY IT CHANGES

#20 Anonymous on 08/29/09 at 05:39 AM

Don't you just love it when people decide to underestimate you and you show them! Way to go!

#21 Anonymous on 08/29/09 at 06:20 AM

it was really great to hear the fans get into the game especially when they would all start stomping the stands in unison. sounded like a big blue storm was coming.

SHAKE DOWN THE THUNDER!!!

#21.1 M.S. on 08/29/09 at 09:40 AM

TROJAN THUNDER!!!

#21.1.1 J.S. on 08/29/09 at 11:19 AM

TROJAN LIGHTNING!!!

#22 Anonymous on 08/29/09 at 11:35 AM

The Trojans really played with heart. It was fun,and exciting, it was awesome. Everybody came together as trojans even in the stands. CONGRATULATIONS - job well done.

#23 TROJAN PRIDE on 08/29/09 at 12:09 PM

yes the trojans played awesome spalding sucked it up ha ha but honestly we need to find a new announcer.

#23.1 M.S. on 08/29/09 at 01:24 PM

Ditto on that. They need to use the technology that they have and play sound bites and stuff like that too. It was kinda boring to at the beginning of the game with the players running on the field. Play some AC/DC or something to get the players and the crowd pumped. Fog machine would be cool too.

#23.2 GC on 08/29/09 at 06:36 PM

Great game, great crowd, great facilities, now we just need someone who can call the play by play, including what down it is, what yard line the ball is on, etc. since we obviously have a moron running the scoreboard. Never once was the down listed, what yard the ball was on,yards to go. When they scored, there was no rush to post the score. Just a shame with such a nice stadium, one of the best in the state, no one knows how to run it. Also, how about softdrinks in a CUP OF ICE, for less than $2 a drink. Coach, when you are winning 31 to 0, play your reserves sooner, and for more than 3 downs. They practice just as hard, and their parents contribute as much or more as your "star" players.

#23.2.1 Ivan the Irritated on 08/31/09 at 08:32 AM

Maybe you should volunteer to put ice in cups, run the scoreboard, announce the game, and be the coach of the football team. Oh wait, you would rather just type what you don't like. Guess I'll try that too.

I don't like people that do nothing and complain about what others are doing.

I don't like people taking away from what the students (football players, band members, cheerleaders, etc) did at the game by getting on the computer to fuss about drinks.

If you have these complaints, take to the people that can change them (Dr. Truby, Mr. Austin, Coach Strickland) instead of fussing on the blog.
WAY TO GO TROJANS!!! DO IT AGAIN IN FORSYTH!!!!

#23.2.1.1 GC on 08/31/09 at 10:09 AM

Well Mr. Irritated, I put in my share of time AND money years ago coaching recreation baseball,babysitting kids that did not want to play so their parents would not feel so guilty, paying taxes wasted by this county and school board for 35 years, where we still have not raised the academic level, I think I have earned the right to criticize what my money is used for. YOU DON'T LIKE. I don't care what you like. It was a great game. The band, was entertaining. The stadium is first class. It should be! We paid for it. Now, I have coached, I have poured drinks, I have run a scoreboard. In this time, it is tough on some to pay all that is needed to be able to watch our local team play in the stadium we all payed for. More money(profit)can be had with fountain drinks, the scoreboard is up, let's use it correctly. If people are heaped with nothing but praise, then all we get is their big head. We learn from our mistakes, and with a first class facility, we should have A FIRST CLASS FACILITY!!! I came to the game, I supported the team, I pay my school tax even though my child has been out of school for years now, I support this community. Without criticism we will be what we have always been. This IS a sounding board, a place for praise and complaints. To muffle one voice is a crime. I/We have our opinion, you/others have theirs. It is what makes everything come together.

#23.2.1.2 M.S. on 08/31/09 at 10:30 AM

Haha! Dude it's called a blog for a reason. If you don't like it, don't get get online. I hate old people like this who don't understand how the internet works these days. By the way, I would gladly run the scoreboard and play soundbites and music.

#23.2.1.3 Anonymous on 08/31/09 at 03:34 PM

I think everyone done a great job.Especially for our first home game. It would be nice if more people would get involved.We know there are a fews knots to untangle.People please give us a chance or if you can do better come and be a volunteer.I do it just to help out the kids. GO TROJANS! And be proud!!!!!!!!!!

#24 GM on 08/29/09 at 02:03 PM

Hey Walter; the new feild was a big ticket item. What did the players have to say about turf over grass? I'm sure somebody has talked with the players. What about the visitors. Did the visiting team have any comments? I know I'm not the only one curious about it.

#24.1 Vikings suck on 08/29/09 at 08:32 PM

The Moody boy, Spalding's quarterback phenom, was there this afternoon looking for his arse. Then, he realized it got handed to him last night. He ain't hittin on sh*t.

#24.1.1 GC on 08/29/09 at 08:55 PM

You know his dad is the coach, and when he took him out of games last year he cried, and his dad would tell him to man up. Bet he cried again when he got pulled last night,,,,,

#24.1.1.1 Anonymous on 08/31/09 at 08:35 AM

And the boy just cant play like his Daddy did back in the day I guess.

#24.2 A visiting Fan on 08/31/09 at 06:02 AM

In response to what the visiting side thought...

I thought that for the price that was reported that you paid for that stadium that you couldn't have had more visitor seating than that?
I thought that there should have been signs (for your out of town visitors) as to where they should park and go in at instead of your RUDE booster club members standing there "squaking" YOU CAN'T COME IN THIS SIDE.

OTHER THAN THESE THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE...

Your team played a GOOD game, your band needs a little work and the Spalding fans wanted the quarterback pulled too.

#24.2.1 Anon on 08/31/09 at 08:17 AM

I think that the visitor side is a little small also but most of our region opponents don't travel with big crowds like some of the local teams we will play like Spalding or MP. Sorry if people were rude but the new stadium appears to be a learning process for Lamar folks also. Signs would be a good idea. You guys at Spalding have some great looking athletes on your team, god luck the rest of the year.

GO TROJANS!!

#25 Anonymous on 08/30/09 at 11:38 PM

What in the heck is wrong with you people? Calling on a high school sophmore like that. That kid is very talented and a real competetor. Lamar had a better game plan and our players wanted the win more than Spalding. We win an epic victory and you all bitch about ice in cokes, a partially malfunctioning scoreboard and the announcer. Shame on you for writing that crap. Great game guys and the venue is awesome. Congrats LC.

#25.1 GC on 08/31/09 at 10:20 PM

Shame on you for writing the crap you posted too. Which anonymous are you, getting confused by the 180 degree answers. I supported the team in my post, but as a taxpayer, I have every right to bitch about what my tax money is spent on. To be the best, we need to improve. We expect the team to improve as the season goes, 1 win proves nothing. We should also want the facilities to improve. The only way to know is listen to those that use it. Some people are satisfied with the status quo, I want us to be the best. Team, stadium, county, SCHOOLS, we have a great start, now let's work on it.

Anonymous #16 is wrong Devin Couch did hit three homeruns in a game this past season at Crawford Co. Matt Johnson also accomplished the same thing in 2006 at Crawford Co.

#28.1 M.S. on 08/31/09 at 04:16 PM

Go back and read it again. He said Couch hit three homeruns in a game as well as Johnson. Who cares anyways, it's football season. I'm ready to hear that TROJAN THUNDER again and do the waaaaaaaaaaave!!!

#29 Proud Trojan on 08/31/09 at 08:57 PM

The JV will have it's first game in Greenville on Thursday can we get some info on their results we should support them as well as the middle school just like we do the Varsity.
