Great win for CPA. How many seniors do you have that play a lot?

Just because your guys had hits that drove in runs does not preclude them from being unearned runs. You are a little too sensitive. Your team is good or they would not have gotten this far. Noone said they were not good. That includes mkd24.

Kenwood had a female kicker several years back who was good. If my memory serves me correctly she won a second or third round game with a last second field goal around 40 yards. No idea what her season scoring stats were like. I think she was a big kid. Six footish and 160 to 170 and not fat. Just saw that Elizabethton beat Austin East tonight 14-13. Is it too much of a stretch to think that she hit both her extra points and the A-E kicker missed one that cost the game?

I simply meant the game was not a "classic" since it was one-sided. All the other games had been fairly competitive and entertaining. Don't worry it still goes down as Giles County's first win against the Mustangs

Looking forward to another trip down to Giles County. We miss playing you guys every year. There were some classic meetings for four years. I don't count last year since we got boat-raced and were not in the game. Your stadium is awesome and the best restaurant (Hickory House) of any road trip we make. On paper, this looks like a good game. Giles has a better record; but, Lipscomb has played a considerably more difficult schedule. Hopefully, we can shake off the malaise that surrounded us for four quarters last week and make it a good game. Can't wait to be in Pulaski on Friday night.

I only recall one embarrassment at home in the playoffs. Alcoa beat us 35-14 in the semi-finals a few years ago and then won in the finals.

All thing considered the CPA field could be a lot worse. I think this is their third varsity game on that field in rain. Who knows about JV or younger games. Did you not see the Maplewood game on TV? At Lipscomb, we have had lucky timing on having to play rain games. Only one game with somewhat wet conditions. CPA people, who is recruiting the Fisher kid. Very impressive at safety and will hit you. He takes great angles to the ball and always seems to be in position. If his speed is 4.4 or 4.5 he could be recruited by the big guys. It was hard to tell his actual speed under those conditions.

There's some good news and some bad news for Page in this one. The good news is it's your best chance to date to beat DL. Lipscomb loses the record setting place kicker, punter, and eighteen starters. The bad news is that the young kids got a lot of valuable minutes last year when the leads were big. My prediction in this one is Lipscomb 33-13. One other bit of bad news, I guess, Lipscomb finally has some size.

Will this game be at the high school; or, has it been moved to Allen Arena?

MC, whining doesn't become you. Your guys hit some awesome threes. Be glad they had you where you were. Your big guy fouling out definitely hurt you. But, he probably had at least three other fouls they did not call. He needs to learn to play defense with his feet and not his hands. He also needs to learn how to protect the ball on the dribble without pushing off with his other arm. These officials let him do it every time, some will not. Great talent though and will only get better over the next two years. Lack of bench strength was a killer for MC in the fourth. The officials probably did miss a few calls. This just in, several went against Lipscomb as well. The whole thing in the fourth quarter was done at a frantic pace. Your guys didn't handle that too well. Keep in mind that it is just as frantic a pace for the officials and they are not nearly as young as the players. That is one of the first times I have ever seen officials look visibly tired. How did 23 not make the all-tournament team? He singly kept you guys going. My hat is off to him. Enough said. Good luck on Monday.

As a Lipscomb fan, I know nothing of Catholic. However, I've seen Mitchell three times over the years and twice in the last 16 games. They are very big. Offensive line averages 306 lbs a man. A different kid on the d-line, the nose guard is 372 or so. They are good running the ball straight ahead. Couldn't go wide at all. They quit trying after the first four or five times went poorly. Slant pattern to number 7 is good play. They only threw over the middle one time and our guy dropped what would have been a returned interception. All passes are short and to the side. Athleticism makes them yards after the catch. Kicking game has improved; but, still not what I would call great. Their approach to playing has improved greatly. They did have two late hits five yards out of bounds; but, overall played much better as far as mistakes go. Penalties and stupid things were really cut down from prior meetings. Overall they played solid football. Note to Mitchell coaching staff: when receiving a punt you are allowed to play with eleven players. I didn't count on the first punt when our longsnapper airmailed the ball. However, on the other three punt plays you lined up with nine, ten and ten players. Now that you've done that on film, it would probably be best to rectify that situation.

They were attempting extra points this week too. They missed one and it kind of got them out of sync. Congratulations to Mitchell. You played a very good game without the charastic penalties and other mistakes. O line averaged over 300 lbs and wore us down over the game. Another D lineman weighed over 370. That is hard for us to deal with. I was expecting a little more from your passing game after all we heard from the Dyersburg game. Lipscomb dropped two interceptions right in our guys hands. It might have changed things, who knows. We also contributed a gimme touchdown on the bad snap about 10 feet over the punters head. The answer to the helmet tossing question is: they throw helmets in jubilation as well as frustration. At least noone was hit this time. Good luck to Mitchell!! Go beat Catholic.

highschoolking What size offensive line does Mitchell have, on average. Last year they were enormous. We sort of looked like little boys with men; but, then everyone is bigger than we are. Where is Ken Torry now?

Wrong Titans... Oh well!! I won't antagonize you again. You promised you'd go away. Are you a person of your word?

I won't contribute a ticket; but, there is a muzzle at the house I'll give you. Your team lost. They had a great year and a very bright future. You have one very special player who we'll miss watching next year. Don't whine about other people's good fortune. Help get your team ready for a special 09 season.
