I do not think Farmer has been double teamed like Hargrove was EVERY game. Offenses planned their plays around Hargrove and Allen. I think Farmer and the rest of these guys are doing great. I hope the wildcats pull this one out Friday

No, I am not out of my mind, not even close. There are some people that are, but I am not one of them. GO POLK!!!!!!!!

Absolutely the second one. LOL 4 touchdowns = 24 pts. GO POLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

John Allen is a good coach also, do not underestimate him. I think Polk comes out ready to prove something not only to the fans, but to themselves. This is a great group of senior athletes, they will get their rhythm down and be fine. I think Polk pulls out a close one. 24-21 POLK wins.

I was only referring to one person. I said the defense needed to improve as a whole. The linebackers are good athletes and no insult was intended to them. It offends me that someone posted this about a kid, I support all the wildcats and hope they havea great season. Bradley should have one the game, they are a larger class. Polk always plays hard and I know they will improve every game, and be fine.

Better at linebacker??????????????????? Apparently you are sooooooooooooooo very wrong. The defense has a lot of improving to do.

There was a play where Hargrove laid out and made a diving touchdown to stop a touchdown by Tyner. There were plays made him and all the wildcats. I agree lets move on, last year is over. Best of luck to this years Wildcats.

All I know was he led Polks defense for three years, from the time he was a sophomore till he graduated. Not many players can say that. I also saw him slap helmets when others made the plays, does not sound like who you are describing. Maybe you just do not measure up to his talent. It seems to me he made Polk County better, apparently he fit well enough to start for 3 years. I just know he will be missed, just like Allen and Lee will be. Also the senior lineman and center from last years class. You have to remember they all had experience and talent.

I think Hargrove will be missed. He was not a selfish player, anything but that. Just ask his teammates. He played through a horrible tragedy last year, and showed what he was made of. You seem to have something personal against this kid, thats a shame. His performance on the field as well as the other athletes was a pleasure to watch. Good luck Polk!

I think the Wildcats will have a lot of players that can step up. Allen and Hargrove led the wildcats for the last three years. When they needed a play on offense they looked to Allen, and they looked to Hargrove on defense. Akins is a player that can really step up. Miller will be force and could very well end up leading the defense. The players know what they lost in the seniors from last year, and it will be interesting to see who take the leader roles. This is a great chance for some guys to take the bull by the horns and show what they are made of, I have no doubt the younger wildcats can do this. Good Luck Polk!

Please explain, I have heard nothing but wonderful things about this young man.

Polk has a tough schedule this year. I think you can look for big things from some youngsters like Duncan Coffey and Chris Wimberly just to name a few. Should have some good leadership Akins, Phillips, and Collin Wimberly. I think it will be very hard to replace Allen,Lee and Hargrove. It will be a while before Polk sees athletes like those three young men. Looking forward to see who steps up. Good Luck Wildcats.

With these teams I think this tournament is up for grabs. I know Polk's season has been disappointing for them, but do not count them out. All the teams have some really good players. With Allen, Hargrove & Lee from Polk, Moses & Cowart from MC, Crabtree & Rowland from Meigs, and Allen, Dalton, & Coley from Sequoyah anything can happen. All these guys are playmakers. Tourney should be a good one. Lets play some baseball.

I heard that #16 for CAK will not play due to broken collar bone and that #2 Epperly has a couple of cracked ribs. Is this true?

Polk has 2 players that have played all year on both sides. That is #12 Jared Allen and #38 Michael Hargrove. These guys have the stamina to play all night. Also, polk will use #24 Akins and #22 Lee om both sides if needed. Polk dresses about 50 - 60 playerse. That does include JV and freshman. GO POLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really would hate to estimate on the score. Both teams have great offenses, with the potential to put a lot of points up on the board. I do like Polks defense, they are very aggressive. It is a great atmosphere, when 2 really good teams face each other. I know Coach Davis and staff will have a great game plan. I know that all these young men who represent both of these teams have a lot of athleticism. There are key players on both teams. I know these guys from Polk have given us a lot of great memories over the last 4 years. Can't wait till kickoff. GO POLK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I believe #38 Michael Hargrove middle linebacker for polk also played on that baseball team as well.

First off, I am no fool. I compare talent to talent. It does not matter what division someone plays in. If they are an athlete they are an athlete. The are great athletes in Div II, single A, AA, AAA etc. You might want to be careful with the words you use.

I know there are good quarterbacks in the area, I have not seen one yet that is more physical and effective at running the ball than Allen #12. I have watched both Hargrove #38 and others play, Hargrove is hands down the best Linebacker in the area. He has improved every year from leading the area as a sophmaore in some defensive stats. I will take him and Allen over any player any day. This should be a great game. I have the utmost respect for the Tyner Rams and the Wildcats. It should be the best game in the state Friday night.

No I did not forget #40. He is a GOOD player and is improving every week. He is NOT the calibur athlete of Hargrove and Allen. All the guys are playing great, but I have watched every game and Hargrove has at least 2 blockers coming at him every play sometimes 3. The opposing teams are always keyed in on Hargrove and Allen. Hargrove has led the defense for 3 years, and Allen and Lee the offense.I know the juniors playing are really contributing, and that is what makes a TEAM. To me the standouts in the junior class are #24 and #55, but make no mistake they are all doing great. Hopefully they will play Friday night the way they have the last 2 weeks.

Polk has 2 players that play both ways - #12 Jared Allen plays QB,safety,and special teams #38 Michael Hargrove LB, TE, and also special teams Both are tremendous athletes and give everything they have every play. Polk has a lot of players to move in and do things like #22 Tyler Lee, #24 Alex Akins, and #55 Seth Philips just to name a few. It has been a great ride to watch #12, #22, #38, #20, #51, and #77 boys play.

I think Polks team would be fine. I think players step up every year. Allen has led the offense this year,and has done a great job. I believe Lee did his sophmore year just like christian did last year. It takes all of them and for you to get on here and say that it will take more than one player to replace Allen is crazy. Lets remember who Polk has played the last several weeks. Not very good competition, and I would have to disagree on him being the defensive leader. That is Hargrove hands down, has been for three years. I think Allen is a great athlete, but Polk has several. Sorry for leaving the guys up front out in my previous post, they are work horses, no doubt.

A team is not one player and one player does not make a team. Allen is the offensive leader just like the quarterback should be,and Hargrove is the defensive leader just like the middle linebacker should be. Both great athletes and both will be replaced next year. You have to remember other players on this team like Lee, Philips, and Akins just to name a few who contribute every week also. I think they all deserve credit. These guys are just natural athletes, fun to watch. But I think what it's great is to see them celebrate when an underclassman makes good play, and encourage them when they fall short. That is the trait of a leader, Polk is fortunate to have several. Good Luck to the wildcats. Go Polk

POLK does have the athletes to throw to, make no mistake about it. The fact is we just do not throw it. I think another top player in the Chattanooga area is Polks defensive player Michael Hargrove. He has been leading Polk's D for 2 years now. Hargrove and Allen are a lot of fun to watch Good Luck Polk.
