    Is nobody from the administrative/moderator staff monitoring this or going to answer this question about uploading/deleting avatar? I asked this question almost a year ago.
  2. Regardless of what happens Friday night, it speaks volumes about this team being able to reload and make its third straight appearance in the Semi-Finals and two consecutive appearances in the Championship. I've said this before, but it's difficult to beat a team twice in the same season. Dresden did get past UC both times so credit is due there, but can they do it again? and at McKenzie? The Rebels will still be remembering that Week 2 loss and I think a good chance to come away with a nail-biting win. Need to get the penalties under control after last night's showing though. Like VolnWTN said, it'll be an epic environment and an epic game.
  3. Nothing wrong with the bracket and makes sense. McKenzie lost the original meeting obviously, but both McKenzie and Dresden are Region Champions and both are #1 seeds in the playoff bracket. Like mentioned above, the brackets alternate who hosts at home. Same reason why last year McKenzie had to travel to MASE in the Semis, this year McKenzie gets to host. In my opinion, I think it's a fair way to ensure teams get an opportunity to host every other year.
  4. The enrollment numbers are easily found on the TSSAA website and McKenzie does not meet the criteria for 2A. Simple as that. This "McKenzie should be 2A" excuse is pointless. https://cms-files.tssaa.org/documents/tssaa/2022-23/2023classification.html#di-football
  5. Dramatic much? Apparently you don't understand that school population size impacts classification. Just needed to pull the "had to drop to single A to win a championship" excuse. Don't be bitter.
  6. Yikes. A little harsh don't you reckon? Calling luck and blaming coaches and discipline I don't think is fair to the McKenzie or the Fayetteville players. Two great teams met up and it lived up to its hype. This was the kind of game that you knew going into it that the one holding the ball last was probably going to win.

    Hey! Has this feature been disabled again? I had an avatar from years ago still on here, but when I go to change the avatar in my profile, the icon to change the avatar is not there. Thanks!!!
  8. Yeah, MASE was exposed. After seeing their strength of schedule, I wasn't just too terribly concerned but knew the Rebels still needed to come out and play tough. I said last week that Fayetteville scared me more than MASE. We came out strong and put some pressure on them. For a couple of drives, MASE sparked to life, moved the ball well, and I thought we were going to have a contest on our hands like the Trenton game. In the second half though, MASE was so uninspired and had no motivation. With a little bit of adversity, you could see the finger-pointing and obvious frustration. They've got some athletes on their team and had a good season. It'll be interesting to see what kind of threat they pose next year.
  9. Not sure of the games at the moment, but the Huntingdon Jamboree is scheduled for August 10th
  10. They're playing Milan this coming Friday @ Bethel University.
  11. One of the main reasons Huntingdon plays Milan is because of their rivalry. McKenzie doesn't have that kind of connection with Milan, and them being a 3A school, it serves McKenzie no benefit. Under the Z-Plan, the TSSAA doesn't reward you for playing up, but they have no issues punishing you if you lose when it comes to the postseason alignments. You say McKenzie plays Westview and Camden all the time...they're 3A schools. So why not play Milan? Right. However, McKenzie has a lot of history with Camden and Westview, having played for years under the old playoff system when they were in 2A. We all know that playing upward in class really helps your team improve for the most part. As a coach though, you have to strike a balance between scheduling tough opponents and ensuring you don't damage the teams opportunities in the playoffs by playing teams that are too tough and the cost ends up being far greater than the rewards.
  12. Again...that goes back to my point. Don't like it, make your own. It's not my job to make highlights of the opposing team, win or lose. But to be quite honest, my videos have nothing to do with this weeks game and is completely turning the subject away from the original discussion. I'm looking forward to this game, and may the best team win and everybody stay healthy. This is probably going to be one of the best games to watch in west tn.
  13. That's what you get when you stir stuff up.
  14. Well, hey...Huntingdon, infamous for running the score up on us is complaining about me not showing class for posting a parade. It's a year old video, old news. You bet I probably will. And there won't be any Huntingdon highlights, it's McKenzie football not Stang football. Couldn't play you next year even if the coaches wanted to. It's called a 2-year contract.
  15. I'm the one who does the highlight videos and I'll do as I please. Got a problem with them, make your own.
  16. Wow...just wow. Hats off to Gleason, played very well, much better than I ever anticipated. To be quite honest, you probably should have beaten us. Sadly, I feel like we've taken a big step backwards in terms of improving offensively this week. Had a few shining moments, but...we're young and inexperienced and we've got some major growing pains, that's all I can really say. Congrats to the Rebel Defense for making the big stand and getting the win.
  17. I assume you're referring to The Pressbox? http://radio.pressbox1.com. The link to stream is at the top.
  18. This game was just all around awful to be quite blunt about it. Congrats to the Chargers.
  19. Going with the Mustangs in this contest. After having witnessed Trenton against Milan, granted it was Milan, I really wasn't impressed. They may get some of the kinks ironed out before they go up against Huntingdon but at this point, Huntingdon can control the game if they'll work on ball security.
  20. Don't be selling your team short. It's very possible Perry Co. will hang with the Rebels or even beat the Rebels, but it's possible the Rebels may stomp PC. It's just a Jamboree and nobody ever shows their full cards. As I've learned over the years...a team may actually be a whole lot better than what they reveal in the Jamboree.
  21. For those who haven't been keeping up with some of the updates on McKenzieFootball.com or the Facebook page, check out some pictures from the newly renovated lockerroom at the Kermit Holland Sportsplex. A generous donation by Randall and Pat Taylor led to the renovations at the Sportsplex and Rebel Stadium. http://mckenziefootball.dotphoto.com/CPViewAlbum.asp?AID=6413215
  22. Haha. Shouldn't have to worry about Luke Robertson needing a hole to run through except on occasion. He'll be spending the bulk of his time under center. As for Hunter, he'll be one of the starting running backs this year if I'm not mistaken and he'll be on defense some where I imagine.
  23. You're right Swo, building a new stadium had been talked about in the past when they built the new high school, but obviously that didn't pan out. They decided on renovating the present stadium as it would be much cheaper, only around $800,000, instead of a 2-3 million for an all new stadium. Now it's a quality high school stadium. You don't see too many high schools in Tennessee our size that has enough seating for nearly 3000 seated fans, and can hold approximately 5,000 if you include the standing fans, along with two full size pressboxes and concession stands/restrooms. Ironically, Rebel Stadium is better/nicer than several of the NAIA football stadiums I've been to during my time with the Bethel football team. Then the question of what to do with the old stadium once the new one is built...bulldoze it or use it for the middle school. If you leave it, now you have to pay twice as much money taking care of the facilities and field maintenance. Bulldoze it, you destroy a piece of Rebel history and a fairly decent stadium. It'd been great to get a new stadium but I like what we have now since the renovations were completed. And presently there are a few more renovations going on at the stadium that should be completed this summer.
  24. Scrimmage against CC is around 3-3:30 at Bethel
