Northridge Contender

Jordan won't do much this season even though they are always poaching Alta kids. It would be nice to see Northridge in the mix this season. They looked good.

Go RIdge!!!

our boys played great and we can't wait for next week and the rest of the season!!!

Wow, to say that jordan won't do much this season after one game is pretty presumptious. Your team won by 11 points after scoring on all 4 turnovers by the beetdiggers. Plus as stated in the column, your offense was shutdown after the diggers went man 2 man on defense. If jordan works out those miscues and fumbles, and they smarten up on defense, I'll throw them in contention with the rest of the favorites. Good win for northridge, I take nothing away from them.

re: jordanfan

See what I mean, they keep cherpin, hey you lost.

re; jordanfan

dont forget to mention the three starting defensive players that were out because of injuries.(two DB's & one LB). I predict that next week the diggers will look better. Kjar is a great coach & will work hard this week to fix the mistakes from this game.

And Northridge

They make the same adjustments and where are they at. You think that Jordan is the only school that will make adjustments and improve. Thats really narrow, of course thats jordan.

Great job O line. Great job to the 3 H's and Morgan. Passing for 450 yds and rushing for another 100 is moving the ball pretty darn good. We just need to get our turn overs in check. Good luck Diggers.

i think we got out coached!!! put hunt in on defense please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ALTAFAN

I don't get it diggers... I've seen you play with so much intensity at times, and I've seen you totally flop at others. Games you should be slaughtered in you do amazing. Games you should take with no problem you lose. I hate you guys so this is hard to say but you do have talent. I think your problem is motivation. Look at the rivalry game between us last year. It shouldn't have been that close but it was (that's a compliment not an insult). Look at what you did to Massillion in Ohio. Then when you play Bingham you get steamrolled (I am aware Hart was hurt I saw it happen at the SF VS Jordan game). I think you could actually shake things up and make some noise if you treated every game as a big one. Pretend you're playing Alta every week and you guys would be a pretty decent team.

Thank you Alta Fan. I agree with you 100%. Jordan has a different mentality than Alta and its not better. Alta expects to win and Jordan hopes to do well. I've never seen a team that can play so flat or play so great all in the same season. It doesn't make sense to me.

True Blue Layton Fan

Jordan will be a good test this Friday on Layton's home turf. Real grass that is:) I'm sure Jordan is wanting redemtion for the 35-14 spanking Layton put on them last year. We'll see how well Layton's O-Line does. The size of Layton's line, along with their depth is hard to not notice. Will have to figure out avg weight of starting O-line, as I'm guessing it's at least 290. Yeah, sure, a "little" fat here and there.....but a LOT of muscle.

Good Job Travis Harper.

DIGGERS!

Jordan will be the best of all teams and will give 100% til the end! You may have beat them this time but now, we know what to expect. Dont flatter yourself, you only won by eleven points and it was the first game.
