I really thought about the heat index. I would not object to moving start times.

Just seen the weather forecast for this week. Friday could be 100. The team that hydrates better this week has a huge advantage.

As stated unofficial.

Unofficial stats from last night. Rebels run defense played pretty well. I was concerned about the offensive line but they played well considering only one of them had any experience. Tate Surber was as advertised. Once that line develops more, Tate will really be special. Imagine if he was behind that line we had last year. Great win by the Rebels!

Who is Dresdens QB?

This should be a good one. Rebels got some stuff to clean up, but should be ready for another solid test.

Much respect my friend. Just giving a hard time.

Wasn't Peabody up big the first half and lost it in the second half?

WildBill disappeared about the end of 1st quarter of the Semis.

I will leave it at this. Kumaro Brown is legit. We shut him down last year, and it was no easy task. But outside of that, they had some big cats but none that stood out as D1 caliber. I am still not sure how they beat Peabody.

They must have moved in from last year.

Lol.

Agree 100%! The last two years were battles.

That was the state championship game. Fayetteville would have beaten MASE as well.

They opened back up last year.

Dawson White is legit! MC returns a ton. They will be a threat. You are going to have to take their pounding, and have to out athlete them. They are going to bruise you and hit you.

Come early enough to grab a burger at Wimpys in Greenfield.

I know this feeling over here in McKenzie. We are the same.

As I have posted earlier somewhere on the T, as always, our depth at line is an issue this year more so than in the past. Our line needs a ton of playing time, and experience. I think it will get there, but it will take reps. We "won" (At least when I left) the scrimmage Friday vs Lexington. LHS was getting some good pressure on Surber but he was able to escape most of the time, and make some plays. Lexington was avearage at best. They had a really good DT that went down with an ankle injury but I heard last night he is going to be fine. We won't miss a beat at QB I don't believe. Tate Surber is the real deal and can make plays. 6'3 and can sling it. I felt as though our running backs ran the ball effectively for the most part. We were missing one with a shoulder injury (Brady Brewer) but he should be back the first part of the season. Colt Norden (Jr) ran the ball hard. He won't have that breakaway speed but can lower his shoulder pads get tough yards. Tim Airline (Soph) was a bright spot. He hit the hole quickly, and made some outstanding cuts. If he can continue what I seen Friday, that will help our offense tremendously. He is running like he ran in 8th grade. Receivers, Stafford Roditis and Colt Norden will more than likely be Surbers main targets. Roditis is a Senior and is smart. He has really good hands, and has good speed. Norden's other position. If the above two running backs, Brewer/Airline, can carry the load, then Norden will see alot of time at receiver. Defensively. We played good I thought for the most part. Lexington was able to run the ball some but I don't think they ripped off any long ones. We gave a few short to mid range passes but I don't remember any deep balls. This defense will be okay I think in the long run. Comer and staff will coach them and get them in the right position to make plays. I did think we tackled well, and swarmed to the ball. As always the case at McKenzie, we play each week to get better to get to week 11. I still feel like we take the region, and make a solid run in the playoffs barring injuries.

I haven’t checked it out since the beginning of summer. Going to be a nice addition. Mustangs will have one before too long.

Hoping to have it completed by October the last I heard.

LOL. That is probably true.

I understand completely. You have build toward week 11. Hopefully, by then, we will have a ton of experience under our belt to make a run.

No, the class that just graduated. Huntingdon is going to be a machine for the forseable future. I know that 8th grade bunch from a couple of years ago were really good. And, so much returning from last year.

On experience, Hutingdon has the advantage for sure. They return a lot of Mustangs. McKenzie is in the rebuilding of probably the best class to ever come through. The offensive line is going to be key. That is said every year, but this year, it is even more so.
