You're right about Claiborne not being in the same league as Fulton. Fulton will win by 40, but Helton is faster. I had some idiot tell me Rogan was fastewr than Shiverdecker to.I watched them run track last year and the kid from Bearden and the kid from Carter came closer to Shiverdecker than Rogan did.

You're right Fulton has to many athletes and this game should not be close. Claiborne without a doubt will have the best player on the field but one man don't win football games. I know most of you probably think Rogan is better, but I've seen them both on several occasions and Helton is a much better player. He's bigger, faster and runs much harder, but being from Claiborne County he's gone unnoticed up untill now.

Red Neckerson I know your glad I didn't take your pay check this week (just kiddin). I knew Carter was a bad footbal team guy's with not alot of talent. The way Gibbs moved the ball on them last week and their D pretty much held Carters O in check, I knew Fulton would wear them out. The Falcons could have put 70 on the board if Buck had of wanted to, but he needed to work on things for the playoffs. I believe Carter will get AE in the playoffs and take another spanking. AE isn't as good as they have been, but they're still 20 points better than this Carter team. Red from what I've seen in region 1 3a, Claiborne has the best player (Helton), and Carter and Gibbs have the best all around talent in that region. The difference in Carter and Gibbs is Carter is well coached and Gibbs has no coaching at all. Heath does a great job with the talent he has and Randy just lets his kids go out their and play because the players have more footbal knowledge than he does. I've said in the past that the QB at Gibbs is bad, but he does have talent he just hasn't been coached. I still believe that the Bounds kid is an all around better athlete than the Stanton kid was last year. Very few kids in region 1 3a could star for this Fulton squad.

RedNeck, I really don't want to take your money, but Rogan will run through that d with no problem. Don't get me wrong I'd love to see Carter win, but they just didn't impress me any. From what I was told 6-7 ints and 10 or 12 sacks a game is the norm for Gibbs. Carter had one good drive in the game on the very first series. Gibbs d actually looked pretty good against Carter's O. That QB from Gibbs is so bad that if Carters O was decent they would have hung 50 on them. Gibbs moved the ball pretty well against Carter's d, that QB just kept throwing the ball to the middle where there was one reciever and 5 dbs. I thought Randy Carroll himself was playing QB. I know Fulton kicked several starters off of their team, but they'll still score at will on Carter. Then you look at Hamilton, Stokes, Gildner, Gatewood and of course Rogan on D and I'd almost bet you that Carter would be lucky to get 5 first downs or even cross the 50 yd line.

First time seeing these two teams play this year. Gibbs still is the poorest coached team in the area, hands down. They played what I'd call a very bad Carter team tough for 3qtrs. Gibbs qb is pathetic, he could possibly be the worst qb I've seen in years. They looked like they had a good stable of running backs, but Randy seems to be trying to build up this center who he has plaing QB'S stats. Gibbs d actually looked really good against a very weak Carter offense. Carter is much improved at the QB position from last year but overall they are a bad team playing in a very bad conference. Fulton will win by at least 40 next week and most likely put 70 on the board against a very weak Carter D.

I'll admit Carter has suprised me, but much improved QB play from last year has them rolling. The Bounds kid is heads and tails a much better QB than the Stanton kid was last year.

Guy's maybe I'm misinformed, but I played ball with a couple of guy's who have sons on this years Carter team. Bobby told me just the other day that they are going to be terrible this year. He's hoping that they'll win at least 5 games. Mike told me that he thought that everyone they play this year has a chance at beating them. Maybe they're wrong but both of these guy's have been around the Carter program since 1976 and they have both said this is going to be an ugly year for Carter football.

LL, you said Gibbs never has the athletes to win the region in any sport. Correct me if I'm wrong but they've won more region baseball championships than any other school in their region. They also have been pretty dominate in soccor over the past few years and they always have a top notch cross country team and what about girls softball. Problem with football is they have a Randy Carroll at the helm.I'm telling you when the game gets close in the fourth qt and they need a big play Coach Jones has to shake Randy and wake him up because he's dreaming he's on the lake with a 16 year old girl baiting his hook.

LL, I don't know enough about all the teams in 1-3a, I'm more familliar with 2-3a. I just have some friends with kids at both schools and one of my friends from Webb told me that Gibbs looked the best that they had ever looked against them. I am an idiot at times but I'm not stupid enough to ever pick a Randy Carroll coached team to ever win anything. I just will tell you from what I know of 1-3a this coming season that the Eagles have as good a chance as any to win it. I think you have this years Carter team way way overated. If something were to happen and Randy stepped down, then I would most likely pick the Eagles to win the division.Gibbs has always had the players to be competitive but Randy always has chosen to go with seniors over the best players.He hasn't changed in 30 years and wont until he retires next year. I have a good friend who is a head coach at school in 2-3a and he has said for years that Randy cares more about fishing than he does football, and you can see it on the field. He told me Randy will not take his kids to camp in the off season because it gets in the way of fishing. I was told that the Dustin Moore kid Randy had a couple of years ago was a big time d-1 prospect at linebacker as far as talent goes. After a couple of years under Randy the kid couldn't have started for another high school much less a d-1 school.

Gibbs moved the ball at ease against Webb last Friday. They also kept Webbs o from scoring. Gibbs may just fool some people this year. The Webb team would beat anyone in 1-3a

Falcon5 Blake Gildner is the best player on the defensive side of the ball and possibly the offense and you didn't even mention him. Blake will replace Ty Cobb at middle linebacker this season, so the Falcons will be much improved at that position.

Everyone I've talked to from Carter has said that they'll be very young and have a very long yr in 2006. Kick returners will probably be either Horsley or the Kid from Claiborne County(I can't remember his name). Watchout for the McMahan kid at Gibbs he may be the suprise player in the division.

I saw Rogan and Smith go head to head last yr with the season on the line and Smith won. I don't mean just on the last play but on several plays during that game. He also beat him 3 times on the last drive.

If you go by stats Dennis Rogan should win hands down. I believe he has over 2000 yds this season. If you go by what a player has done and where he has taken his team Wilson Cates should win. If you're going by who the best player is based on the plays that he's made this season Harrison Smith should win. I feel you should also have to consider Wesley Smith of Scott, I don't rember how many yds he finished with but it was more than 1500 and he played on as bad a team as their is in 3a except the Randy Carroll coached Gibbs team.
