Scores from Friday?

Baylor 4 Ensworth 0 today. Any other results from games today?

How did game 3 turn out?

Ooltewah 15 McCallie 2 Farragut 7 Baylor 1

"wrong...bad source and info" Guess my source wasn't so wrong after all.

When is the Army game with Smith?

"How strong is Baylor" They lost their number 1 pitcher but he is the only one they lost.

Brentwood came to Baylor the other day and went home with a loss. Baylor is not great but they play hard. McCallie is good just looking at scores of games they have played.

What you guys don't understand is that the NFHS only recognizes 1 association per state. If the private schools form their own association they wouldn't be able to play anyone in the TSSAA unless they were granted permission by the TSSAA. They would have to play all games against each other or out of state.

Source is usually pretty good. Thanks for clearing it up coach.

Heard a rumor that Coach Monroe might call it a career. Anyone else heard that one?

I would have to disagree with your assumption of MBA having a better team in 2004. One loss I might agree but to lose twice in the same year doesn't equate to a better team in my opinion Both games were close...within a touchdown, and really the teams were evenly matched. Both games were played in Memphis and if that had been reversed the results might have been as well. The second game in particular was tough. The conditions were horrible. It had rained early in the week and then gotten cold, all the mud had frozen. It was a cold night. The final was MUS 10 MBA 7. The MUS TD came on a gadget play, and other then that their offense didn't do much. I don't remember exactly what happened, MBA either blocked a punt or recovered a fumble, but they got the ball at the MUS 10 with about 2 minutes to go. They picked up 6 on first down, and 3 on 2nd down. So it was 3rd and goal from the one and Rutledge makes a call I have never understood. Rather then loading up the backfield and running behind our all-american left tackle, he puts the ball in the hands of our sophomore QB and runs an option. The QB goes the wrong way and is stopped for a short loss. The kicker slips on the field goal try and it is blocked...game over. That game broke my sons heart. He played dline and they all played their butts off. Woulda, coulda, shoulda. That 2004 MBA team overcame so much adversity with injuries starting with the first day of two a days. MUS went on to wear BA out in the championship game. If you go back and look at the fg I think you will see that MBA didn't move a tackle over or move the ball to compensate for the ball being on the right hash and that made a short corner for our best block guy and he got it. The best of memory it was a fumbled punt that set up the final drive but I might be wrong. I would agree that they were evenly matched and if played in Nashville it might have been different.

The comment about scoring on the jv team was a shot at Baylor. Baylor has done well starting alot of sophmores this year and I am sure Ensworth wasn't playing many for the entire game like Baylor did. Ensworth has a great team and I think they will get a shot at MUS. MUS will be the best offensive team they have seen this year. Should be a great game.

Also note that EHS last score was when Baylor went for it on their own 20 and Baylor's last drive started with EHS starters in the game. EHS did sub their other guys during the drive. So the game was closer than the score indicates.

Should be a good game but I have to go with the Owls. They are 4th in the league in total offense at 341 a game while the Brothers are next to last at 231. Both defenses are good with the Brothers 2nd in the league giving up 223 and the Owls 4th at 232. I think they have too many weapons for the Brothers.

The top two in the west and middle get byes

Heard a rumor today that McCallie wasn't running their double wing offense when they played this game. Can anyone confirm this that was there?

I am not sure we watched the same game. How in "your opinion was McCallie the better team" last night?

So no one has started this topic. What are the thoughts? Can MBA make the trip and trip up the boys in blue?

Bluemom, Sorry to hear about Rush's knee. Hope he heals well and gets a shot to play next year somewhere.

Has William Blount hired a coach yet?

Both teams got after it very well I thought. As usual the defenses were ahead of the offenses. Not to dismiiss what Sequatchie did but the scores they had very against the jv guys for Baylor.

The games were scheduled for last Sat like last year but with the rain and MBA closing down they got pushed back so no one could use their best pitchers. Last year you had Issacs and Massey throwing in the BGA-Baylor game and it was a good one. So it is not the fault of the TSSAA. It will change next year with Webb going down to the lower division. Haven't heard what the new format will be.

Heard BA and BGA won but don't know the scores.
