Plant’s Murray Hobbled After Loss


Following his team’s 9-2 loss to Armwood, Plant quarterback Aaron Murray left the locker room on crutches with his right shin wrapped up.

In addition to the five sacks Murray endured throughout the game, he also was flattened on the Plant sideline by a late hit out of bounds (which the Hawks were penalized for) and took a helmet (Armwood linebacker Casey Callahan’s) to his shin in the third quarter.

Coach Robert Weiner said Murray will rest for a couple of days, but should be OK to play at Gaither on Friday.

All that the Plant-Armwood game proved is that both of them are overrated and sloppy. Maybe this will get fixed as the season goes on...maybe not. Right now, I can say without reservation that the best county team is Chamberlain.

HEY FOOTBALL FAN:: this is what you said about Giddens late hit on Murray..."Things like that happens and that’s why a flag was dropped. If you really want to see a cheap shot with the INTENT to HARM take a look at the #7 on the interception Murray threw at the end of the game. I’m considering sending this to the FHSAA myself because this has no place in any sport.” is Giddens hit on Murray any worse than #7?? who makes u the judge and jury. Giddens hit Murrray 3 steps after he threw the ball. mind ur own business and dont try to get a kid suspended.

Guys , get real. Do you really think Giddens was trying to hurt Murray.  Murray and Giddens have a ton of respect for one another. They are both exceptional athletes and great kids with bright futures. Leave that kind of talk and thoughts in the streets where it belongs. We should only be mentioning positive things about these kids. It was Football. Things like that happens and that’s why a flag was dropped. If you really want to see a cheap shot with the INTENT to HARM take a look at the #7 on the interception Murray threw at the end of the game. I’m considering sending this to the FHSAA myself because this has no place in any sport. He could have seriously hurt some ones kid. Yes he was flagged and should be suspended.

Hey sigmund, if you read my previous post, you’ll know where to find me. You can’t comprehend what you read? Don’t be putting words in my mouth by saying that I get exited when a kid gets hurt. Tell me where I can find that in my previous comments. All I said is Murray couldn’t hold Marve’s jock, and Plant people get their panties in a wad. That’s not my problem.
By the way, sigmund, save your scare tactics for some other Joe Schmo cause it won’t work with me.

That was a great Defensive game. However , it was a poor Offensive game. Why is that ? Mainly because both schools OC’s are arrogant and think it’s all about them. Why not kick the FG’s (Plant). Why not use all of your talent (ARMWOOD). Both teams Defensive Staffs should be commended for a job well done. One or two plays decided this game. Plant D should hold there heads high. They played their hearts out. Armwood’s D desreves all the credit that they have earned. It would have been nice to have seen you guys with better OC’s.

Wellswood, you trash anything to do with Plant and get excited when a kid gets hurt. You have serious terrible self-loathing that’s causing you to seek attention this way.  One can only wonder what’s caused all of this hate?

I bet you don’t have a job. I bet you got dumped by your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/mommy/daddy? Do mommy and daddy like your better looking and smarter brother more?

No one cares to read your hate filled garbage and it would do the Tribune well to save all of your postings and IP information.  It’s easy enough to find out who you are. Any coward can say anything when he’s hiding his identity.  Only a man will face the target of his attack and look him in the eye.  You don’t have the err.. ah… spine.

Wellswood, I am not a terrier, I am a panther. I say Go Terriers b/c they are in Armwood’s district and I would rather play Hills for regionals b/c I have much more respect for Coach Garcia and his program! So if we were to lose, I would love for Hills to move on over Armwood.
Don’t have so much hate, this is just a game and things have gotten so out of hand w/ all the stuff Armwood has done over the past few weeks.

Like I said before, winning 7 on 7 flag football during the summer DOESN’T MEAN JACK!!!!!

What was the score of the game again and who won? I forgot.


Posted by  wellswood,  on 09/08  at  04:30 PM

The voice was yours when you implied that if it wasn’t for Giddens “cheap-shot” Plant would have won. You can say what you wanna say about how you didn’t mean that. People that come on here (which by the way is not very many) can judge for themselves.
An about the scholarships that’s been offered to Giddens, I’m sure that he’s not getting these offers by making cheap-shots. Are you to stupid to not understand that? As a matter of fact, YOU are the only one that’s talking about a cheap-shot on Murray. I haven’t heard nothing about that on this blog or the blog at blogs.tampabay.com/preps/.
Were you smoking something during the game?

I would like to comment on the abuse that has been directed at Plant highs football team & staff.A few months ago someone painted AHS on several off campus football signs.Someone stole a championship flag from Coach Weiners front yard.Someone put graffiti on Weiners house. Someone scattered crushed glass on our practice field.Someone painted & wrote some degrading things about Coach Weiners homosexuality on our football stadium.Someone threatend some of our coaches with violence via phone calls.Someone exposed the fact that our qbs sister writes prison inmates as a fetish.Someone sent Eric Dungy a fake scholarship offer (U of Minn).Someone sent She-Male escorts to a coaches house and made harassing


Posted by  Plant Admin, tampa on 09/08  at  12:10 PM

phone calls to the same coach.Someone painted AHS on the house of a neighbor of Weiner and Puckett.Someone sent the police to our qbs house on game day at 3am.This is just some of whats been going on around here the last few months.Lets please end this disrespect directed at our school.It only shows the lack of class of the people from where ever.CONTINUED FROM ABOVE

wellswood: me saying Giddens cheap shotted Murray, had nothing do with his 75 scholarship offers. what voice in ur head came to life on that one? U were talking about Murray in a negative way, and I simply said that Giddens hurt him with a 3 step late hit and Aaron still played. Next time I’ll try to keep it simpler for you. Go back to your train set.


Posted by  wellswood,  on 09/07  at  11:22 PM

By the way EC South, I’m sure that Giddens is getting over 75 offers from college because he’s a cheap-shot artist.

What a weak post you put out.


Posted by  wellswood,  on 09/07  at  11:16 PM

Hey PJ, I let you in on a little secret......my nephew plays baseball for Hillsborough. What I don’t understand is you say “Go Terriers” yet you’re taking up for Plant. If you were a “true” Terrier, you wouldn’t be sticking up for Hillsborough’s arch-rival, Plant, no matter what the sport is.
As for EC South, the bottom line is the score at the end of the game. SHOULDA, COULDA, WOULDA. I like what you said about the cheap shots, thats why Plant lost huh? I bet you’d say that the Bucs lost today because of the refs too.
You’re really as stupid as I thought.


Posted by  EC South, Tampa on 09/07  at  09:46 PM

wellswood: Aaron Murray was hurt,really hurt, he had numbness in his foot & leg after Giddens cheap shot. If Plant took the field goals, Armwood LOST!! Murray is tougher than you will ever think of being. I’m positive if you were hit by Giddens like Aaron was, you would be in Tampa General tubed up wearng a diaper for 2 months. Now you can return to your re-runs of “Dukes of Hazard”.

Hey Lauren, MR. Wellswood is the anti-Christ!  Let’s not bother him as he’s busy making this world a miserable place!


Posted by  PJ, Tampa on 09/07  at  05:05 PM

Hey Wellswood, as I remember the game, your fast as lighting offense, Mywan and Co. didn’t fair so good either! What 7 points?????  Is that something to brag on. It was a defensive battle, and w/ all your superstars on D (what..4-5 going D1?) the no names of Plant’s D SHUT DOWN your O!  Maybe this game will humble the Wood some, they are VERY beatable!  Plant’s O line has 4 new guys, 3 never started before, one being a sophomore! Is that something to brag about, that they had a rough night w/ your superstars?
Go Terriers.....You Will beat the Wood!


Posted by  wellswood,  on 09/07  at  10:23 AM

Women..............shouldn’t you be getting the kids ready for church or making breakfast for your family or something?


Posted by  Lauren Murray,  on 09/07  at  05:30 AM

Mr. Wellswood,
I have not figured out if you are a student or adult by your commments, but either way, please just stop.  Your writings would be so much more meaningiful if you wrote positive things about Armwood, rahter than negative things about Plant.  Positive things about Giddons, Petey, etc. not negative things about Aaron. If you don’t care for Katherine Smith then read the other paper.  There are so many choices in life, let’s make positive ones in everything that we do.  It’s ALL good! Wishing all the player’s a blessed season of growth, fun, friendship, and a lifetime of wonderful memories.


Posted by  wellswood,  on 09/06  at  11:58 AM

Aaron Murray couldn’t hold Robert Marve’s jock.

CAN WE PUT TO REST ABOUT PLANT EVER BEING BETTER THEN ARMWOOD.

I bet Katherine Smith cried herself to sleep after seeing her beloved Plant lose.
