    Kody wilstead: the one quarterback in all of high school history that has thrown the most interceptions in a high school career and yet can still do no wrong. Coach Hausner….YOU ARE A JOKE AND A TERRIBLE COACH!!!

      “Coach Hausner” oh do you mean Coach Hosner? The coach that is in the state finals? If you know ANYTHING about passing Qb’s they do have a high rate of interceptions. I think Brett Farve owns the record for the most interceptions ever in the NFL.. If I can remember correctly Farve was a pretty good QB.

      Why can’t people just be happy for other peoples success??? Because they are insecure, selfish, miserable, sad people!!! Coach Hosnervis one of the most honest, fair, caring, hardworking, honerable men I know. It’s to bad the world doesn’t have more men like him but because of his tireless work on building great young men there will be!!! As far as Kody is concerned he has worked hard to get to where he is and I think his record speaks for it’s self. #1 in the country ain’t to shabby!!! Go Panther

    Way to pull of the win Pine View! Incredible ending to a well played game from both teams! Sorry that some disgruntled Juan Diego fan, or a PV parent whose child didn’t get to play, had to leave such a rude message. They must have missed the lesson growing up “if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.”

    Thank you for sticking up for Coach HOSNER and Kody! Your comments are greatly appreciated!!! Even though some people’s comments can be hurtful and negative, I’m soooo thankful I live in a country where we can say what we feel. Thank you to all those who have served and made it this way!!! By the way, Coach Hosner has helped develop two of my boys into MEN! One of whom is serving in the Philippines now, in large part due to his coaches at Pine View! GO PANTHERS!!!
