Midway has played a tougher schedule and may very well be the better team but traveling as far as they are going to travel coupled with the fact that RBS should come out intense with it being their first playoff game RBS may come out on top. As I said RBS has 2 winnable games in these first 2 rounds...

SP will need to find a way to take #84(I believe that his number)out of the game. Earlier in the season I was talking to someone who was at the Monterey game and they told me that Clay didn't do much but throw it up to him and Monterey didn't have an answer for it. When I saw Clay play, as a team I didn't think they were overall very good but has some speed and a big WR on the outside...

RBS has 3 pretty good sophomore running backs they like to run. I along with everyone in RBS I believe is looking forward to this game.

I expected SP to have the advantage in this quad and don't expect any teams to give SP problems until the quarterfinal. RBS has winnable games up until the third round where they would meet SP.

SP better come ready to cover the pass because Clay will throw a lot. Clay's qb is 6'7 with a big arm and they have a 6'5 receiver who they like to throw it up too.

I know nothing about Midway but they seem to be a decent team who's lost to some pretty good teams. I would love to see RBS pull this one off!

Ambassador, the tssaa website has had Gordonsville in the quad with the rest of those teams instead of Oakdale?

 

I know this playoff system benefits RBS but I miss the old way, I've tried to understand this new way but it confuses me.

Wake Up!!!!!....they are still a punching bag....just finally got a coach who knows Football....and how to schedule!!!!....this z-plan awards weak scheduling!!!!....next year they will be back down the cellar!!!

Post of the year...how gracious if you to grace us with your wisdom. How many games have you seen RBS play this year? I bet not one!

6-4 in 1978...

Here is all of our games since RBS started their football program....

Who knows how the bracket will end up.

 

No matter the sport at RBS when one of the sports is playing in a big game, if I can make it, I am nearly always there. In RBS's first football playoff game I will definitely be there no matter where it's played at!

Just by looking at the playoff ranking if RBS does play Copper Basin in the first round it should be at RBS? Am I'm reading this stuff correctly on tssaa?

It was an actually fairly competitive game up until about 2/3 in the 3rd quarter when it was 28-12. I can see why TC struggled when Kenyan Harper was out, he's on a different level. Good luck to TC in the playoffs....

RBS hasn't had a winning season since 1978 and this will be the first time in school history that RBS has made the playoffs. RBS may even win a game in the playoffs. Kyle Shoulders should be coach of the year ....

He's from Macon. I don't believe he coaches at Trousdale, but I do believe he assisted at Macon. I don't even know of he played football in high school, he may have but I don't know. I remember him playing baseball because he was a senior when I was a freshman. Before the last couple of years I knew of him but I didn't really know him. When he asked me to announce the football games this year he invited me up for a media day type of thing and talked to me about the football team a bit and showed me the changes he made in the field house and the field itself and I was shocked by how nice everything looks compared to when I played. He's has done a very good job so far!

That's true. The boys have won 2 or 3 games ever year but have been competitive in almost all their games... This year those competitive games have gone RBS's way. They're a young team who's only going to get better and I'm looking forward to watching how they do in the next couple of years.

Before this would happen people all the people in macon would home school themselves.Trust me not gonna happen.

You got that right!

Looking forward to seeing Harper play.  Glad this is in TC...it's a closer drive than RBS is for me!

Jackson 2a/ Upperman 3a is a big rivarley even though is slanted now to UH. More so than 1a Gordonsville is. They do need to drop Clay and add a TC or Stone

I didn't realize JC/UH was a rilvary.

there is a diffrence between good hard winable games scheduled like Westmoreland and White House......or auto matic loses with Alcoa and Cookeville. Should 10-0 SC have played 0-10 Mcminnville instead of say Goodpasture or Friendship...no. That don't mean go to extremes. I think UH needs to drop Clay and Gordonsville. Maybe pick up Stone, White Co, Trousdale, or White House type team to fill those two spors. That's not saying they need to go schedule Ensworth and Fulton.

Gordonsville is not a bad team to have on your schedule because they're usually a pretty good team but Clay and even Jackson probably needs to be dropped because they aren't helping your team anymore. It's kind of what I was saying in the Clay/Macon thread.

MC didn't play Jo Burns last year, and take a closer look and compare MC schedule with RBS's schedule. You really want to talk about which is the cushy one? Really looking forward to the outcome of both these teams Thursday night.

No they played Clay last year and Jo Byrns the 2 years before that. As I said Macon was not the mess RBS was and didn't understand why they needed to drop 3 classifications to play Clay. I could careless about comparisons... Do you want me to say RBS plays a soft schedule? Fine, we do but being a program that's had no more than 3 wins in a season in the last 25+ years I think it's good for the program to build around a few wins and eventually have a winning season but like I said I hope in the next couple of years the schedule stiffens up because I think RBS has the talent to be able to handle it. Like I told someone in a previous post, read some of my old post in the basketball forum and you'll see the criticism I had of RBS's girls schedule, especially the first 2 years we were in 8a. I enjoy watching RBS success but I also enjoy watching a good game. Good luck I hope Macon has some success in the playoffs...

swanson71 I agree the night we played RBS we played terrible. 4 interceptions 2 of which bounced off of the receivers pads and the other 2 the receivers didn't finish their route ball goes over their head int. Second game with new QB 2nd game with #1 receiver back from knee injury and 2 RB/LB still out. Defense didn't play well at all and we still only lost by 8. I will start out by saying congrats on the season RBS is having but allowing a terrible team to run back 2 kick off's and hang 24 points on you not a bright spot. Allowing Pickett county to hang 21 on you not a bright spot. You did beat Goodpasture who is win less at 0-9. With the playoff's just around the corner it will tell you real quick if you have a real improved football team or if you have just been fortunate in a few games. Either way 6-4 will be a solid season for RBS and good luck in the playoff's.

I think being fortunate along with improving is part of it. Someone said in another thread that RBS is 9 points from being 8-1. That is true but they're also 10 points from being 3-6 so we've been fortunate as well as unfortunate at times. As I said I was a bit harsh and out of line when I said Clay Co was terrible, I apologize. The qb for Clay and #84 (I believe that was his number) are good very good players, the qb has a very strong arm. It was just suppose to be a critique of Macon putting Clay on the schedule and wondering why. Good luck to both teams and hope both play again after this week.

Don't forget their CC game, same thing. The Clay Co. game was scheduled when our district was changed. Our athletic director is from Clay Co. and Clay Co. needed to pick up a game too. It is close to home and definitely has a big gate. We play them in basketball to so why not? If it was up to most people MC would play RBS.

Football and basketball is 2 different situations. It's a lot easier to compete in basketball than football and traditionally Clay County is a pretty good team. I just have enough respect for the program that they could play up and still pick up a win.

this is off the chart! Listen to this guy. His team plays sale creek,which has never won a game.Barley beat clay county. Got extremely lucky playing the worst team in goodpasture's history and I want even go there on Clinton ky and picket and wants to know why on somebody else 's schedule.Don't take me wrong im proud for rbs but for a team's fan to even ask anything that won one district game.Give me a break.

Clinton beat us last year by the way. I was talking with someone today and said I hope our schedule stiffens up the next couple of years because we got the talent to handle it. RBS has a right to put whoever they want on a schedule because we are historically a terrible team and MC isn't the mess RBS has been over the years. This makes the 4th year that I've said this about MC's schedule. If your going to schedule a team like Clay then why not come together and play RBS? MC still gets the easy win and plus brings in a big gate... I'm sure something like that still works both ways though! I may be a fan but go to the basketball boards and read some of my old posts... I was critical of our girls and the easy schedule we play, especially the first 2 years we were in 8a. Pickett can stay because we play the every year but I hope after this year Sale Creek is gone... Actually I wouldn't mind us playing Monterey again.

Obviously Clay County's 6 turnovers that night had nothing to do with losing to a much improved RBS team by 1 possession. As for Macon playing Clay, I'd say it was for the same reason that Coach Shoulders scheduled Sale Creek.

Clay scored only one time on offense, 2 touchdowns came off kick off returns, and of those 6 turnovers 4 was forced that I can remember. The game was nowhere near as close as the score indicated. RBS is an A school who put another A team on their schedule. Macon is a 4A school scheduling an A school. I may have been a little harsh before, I apologize, but I was saying the same thing last year and when they were playing Jo Byrns as well.

It is the first time in school history..
