Congrats to Marco, but Skogen should have won it.

Temple should make a run for it. They have a great team this year. Just to name a few: Seth Skogen Dee Newson Josh Smith Jeremy Sexton Joey Shiraef Eric Larson Kameron Ridley James Kemp

Jake and Caleb play basketball for Covenant College in Chattanooga. Joey is a sophmore at Temple.

5A -- Ooltewah 4A -- Maryville 3A -- Fulton 2A -- Alcoa 1A -- Friendship

doesn't matter what Daily had last nite. the award has already been decided on and Skogen will likely get the award.

Top Rushers for McCallie Conney, Anthony 13-79 Poindexter, R. 7-41 (2 TD) 122 total rushing yards for McCallie Top Receivers for McCallie Bradford, Joel 8-185 Dozier, Walter 6-122 (1 TD) 346 total rec. yards for McCallie

B. J. Coleman had a pretty good game throwing 17-28 for 346 yards (1 TD, 0 int.). He also had 2 rushing TD's.

FC should win this one. My prediction: FCS 42 Hampton 7

BA wins. 37-34

From what I understand the decision has already been made on who won the award. The playoff games don't matter. Seth Skogen of Temple should still be the winner.

Temple has the best team in Chattanooga single A.

dude, i did see the games n the boro last year and temple does have a chance this year.

TC? Last time I checked they lost last week, didn't they?

We have a few introductions to make ourselves.

I have to tell ya buddy, the intimidation ain't gonna work! We got little kids throwin' rocks at us down here on the corner of Union Ave. and WillowSt. -- in the heart of Highland Park, otherwise known as "The Hood". We also have people honkin' their horns at us as they drive by our corner lot practice field. I'm not sure what they're shoutin' but it sure isn't the kind of things that I can repeat on CoachT. Although, I think they're just honkin' at the person that is standing out at the corner waitin' for somebody to pick them up (if you know what I mean). Anyway, keep thinkin' of ways you can try to put us in a state of trepidation.

Gordonsville by 12 38-26

I just don't see TT only putting up 13 points in this game. I'm going to say they will at least get 4 TD's.

Yeah, as if Mt. Pleasant hasn't played a WEAK schedule. Just to name a few: Ezell-Harding Huntland Moore Co. Perry Co. Zion Christian Cornersville Columbia

Nice post! Thank you for the perspicacious and sagacious insight.

Congrats to Mr. Skogen on being selected as a Mr. Football Finalist. You definitely deserve the award. Good luck in the future.

So, are you saying that a linebacker has no chance of being a Mr. Football Candidate? I'm not exactly sure how they do it in TSSAA, but in college they have the Lombardi Award, which honors the nation's top lineman or linebacker. I would just figure that the Mr. Football Award would be done in the same way.

No offence taken, but I'm sure the players at Temple appreciate the good "motivational" reading material. Even though, I don't think they need it. But thanks, anyway.

I think you have to look at the total backfield (and even consider what the rest of the offense is) to determine who has the "best backfield". Those who are saying the Temple has the "best" are looking at the total package. The three backs for Temple have 2,942 total yards and 35 touchdowns on the year. On top of that, they have a receiver that has over 1,500 yards in the air and 22 touchdowns. There is no doubt that Marco is a very good back, but the question has to be -- if they didn't have him -- who is going to take up the slack (so to speak) in the backfield?

Ooo . . Ooo . . I know . . I know!! Let's see, you place the nose guard to block the center head-up. Then, you leave the opposing guards unmanned to either side of the nose guard. Next, you place a tackle head-up against opposing tackles beyond these spaces, on either side. Then, you position an end to the outside of either tackle. Facing a typical split-back offense, one end should face the tight end, while the other may be left unmanned. Then, I would set two corners in the secondary about 7 yards off the line of scrimmage and opposite any receivers, usually the split end and flanker. Then I suppose I would place three linebackers 3 to 4 yards off the line of scrimmage: one directly behind the nose guard, and a second and third behind each end. Then last, but not least -- You would leave a free safety as the last defender, 9 to 12 yards behind the line of scrimmage and to the outside shoulder of the middle linebacker. Now, that's the way I learned it -- but maybe you would do it differently.

you might think that is a "cocky" statement but when you have a team that is so balanced (which was the title of the article "Balance is key to Temple's success"), it would be a "hard time" for any coach to figure out a way to defend them. This article in no way "talks down" to Coach Satterfield (as MO$$$$ puts it http://boards.coacht.com/index.php?s=&...mp;p=826236321). I can assure you that Temple has the upmost respect for his coaching abilities.
