I Love HS Football

You must didn't read our posts right....and if you plan on making the playoffs wouldn't you wanna be as ready as you can?? If you make the playoffs you know what kind of teams you going to be facing so why you wouldn't u wanna get a head start??.SC always wins there div.. But chokes playoff times. But somethings gotta change if they wanna make it deep in the playoffs...I'm nt a SC fan but I'm just saying...but as I said earlier they where better then last year..

SC has been to the 4th round in the playoffs and three times to the 3rd round in the last 8 years. You make it sound like they don't know anything about life after round 1. Point noted.

This is the last thing I am going to post on this thread as PC won the game and they deserved to. But, it absolutely has zero to do with the schedule and all you trolls on here like slimshady and friends are doing nothing but trying to draw attention to yourselves. Congratulations, you confirmed my opinion, your an idiot.

Smith County is a 3A school with a little over 600 people. Why do they want to schedule inner city Nashville schools? Why would they not want to play the rural schools like themselves like they have always done? Why is the strength of schedule such a hot topic this year? Is it because they went 10-0 this year and haven't done that in over 20 years? If they had lost two games and wasn't ranked number 1 in the state but rather 5-7 like they are about every year, would that make this discussion have a little less juice? Why? Why do they drop Macon County, and schedule Pearl Cohn? I mean did you see their crowd? They had 100 fans if that. The band didn't pay to get in, remember that. Is York down, yes, wasn't it year before last they advanced to 4th round? Did Livingston not win a state championship 5 years ago? Gordonsville has, White House has. Since when is this year all of a sudden the year that all of those teams are bad schedules. I mean really, do they have to play Trousdale County (not gonna happen) or better yet go call these ABC private schools who recruit rather than playing the schools in a 1 hour radius that is going to bring 3 times the crowd. Or do they have to do a home and home with state champion Knox Catholic 2 and half hours away again? Seriously, this is ridiculous. They have traveled to Nashville or further, ask howdoitknow2. This topic of discussion is comical. Slimshady, can't wait to see you again. I got something for you.

I didn't go to the LA game but that wouldn't surprise me at all. Getting beat by SC year after year brings out the worst in lots of LA fans. Especially the ones who didn't want JM as our coach when we had a chance to get him many years ago. Why would any smart fan want to see a team from our region get beat by a team from Nashville? Jealousy is not a good thing!

I agree oldcat. Good luck to LA next week.

a lot of us root for carthage in the playoffs, we just aren't overly vocal.

I know and that is why I made sure to say that I'm sure it didn't pertain to the majority of those fans.

Good luck next week.

Smith county turned the ball over 4 times and pearl Cohn didn't have one after they just had 7 turnovers (4 fumbles, 3 interceptions) and CPA still had to block a fg and return it 75 yards for win. Pc has a good team and deserve to win as they made the least amount of mistakes. It's not that people are saying sc is overrated but rather the who. I know I'm not referring to the majority of fans but gordonsville fans obviously enjoy the outcome as well as weary and trousdale fans. You would think they would want to see their neighbors to do well against inner city Nashville schools. I even heard that Livingston Academy fans cheered when they announced the Smith County score. Wow.

plus #8 bench presses 350 pounds.....but its almost Game Time the band and football players are starting to eat...See you guys around 6...PLAYOFFS BABY GO HARD OR GO HOME...

Jalen Manning says hi!

Yes, it is on the internet, scooter or imallin could tell you the website exactly. Just google Carthage radio station 104.5 the ranch and you should be able to find it.

 

he means 104.1 the ranch.

Think i will attend this game tonight are they selling tickets early or do ya'll think there will be plenty of seating available?

Depends on how mnay people PC bring? I would expect to the SC side to be full. See ya at the game.

This is going to be a good matchup. I know some people from the Gibbs area in Knoxville. I can't believe he is not on here like he is those softball message boards. I look for the Cats to win a close one.

Twan, will it be embarrassing this week when the #1 team in 3A gets beat by a couple of touchdowns by an 8 seed? Easy schedules do make for a fun regular season.

Squeak Squeak

Statement game!!!!

Now we see how the week schedule for SC plays out. What other number one rated team in the state is even thinking its gonna be a close ball game other than SC. I venture to say most first round games by top ranked teams in the quadrant will be 3-4 td victories. Why are even the SC fans calling for vitory by 6 or 8....I think they know how truley week there district is and also how week there non confrence schedule is. Yes SC is good team to be 10-0 no doubt, but we will have to wait and see if rather a 8-2 record with some games against TC or say Signal Mt. would have been better served than playing Sparta and Warren County.

SC's schedule was not the amongst the strongest in the state, no doubt. Why does that have anything to do with how good they are? They have destroyed the teams they were supposed to for the most part. There is no other #1 seed worrying about a close game just like their is no other #8 seed that is as good as Pearl Cohn in any class in the playoffs. The reason SC fans are calling for a 6-8 point victory is because they don't have blinders on and they realize how good PC is, unlike yourself obviously. In regards to who SC playes out of district, the playoff system taking the best records for the tiebreaker for wildcard teams make scheduling a lot harder for good football programs. Lookinggood, where you from?

I think this is a break even deal for the SC program. I mean the TSSAA put them in an easy district so they could look good during the regular season. PC had to play a brutal schedule put together by the TSSAA. It only seems fair to make them play the weakest 1 seed. PC wins by 2 TDs do to athletic ability and regular season tested game speed.

^^^^Troll^^^^

Take it from someone that has seen PC play, you are in for a game. They are the best team we played all year. You are in for a tough game. Better bring your A game or you will be watching in round 2.

Congratulations DenKeeper. You have stated the obvious. Smith County knows the challenge ahead of them this week.

I have witnessed how the Owls have approached games when they were clearly the underdog. They took care of business. I liked the way they approached the toss up games as they played well in them and took care of business. Even though they are the higher seed, a lot of people will favor Pearl Cohn to win this game. Looking forward to seeing what the Owls will do in the underdog role as they haven't been there yet this year. Go SC!

Smith County will have their hands full with PC. They are fast, hard hitting, and athletic. I don't see SC beating them, but I hope they do. Would love to see a CPA SC match-up.

PC is an unfortunate draw to say the least, but like CPA says you have to play the best to win it all anyway. I'm sure there are a lot of people like yourself that picks PC to prevail. We shall soon see.

Pearl Cohn beat them bad last year didnt they

2009 SC won 9-0

2010 PC won 40-0

2011 Rubber Match

SC and pearl cohn huh, 3 years in a row...let's do this.

Thought McCoin would play, but thought that LA would be the favorite, but didn't see it being a blowout. That is why they play the game. Good luck to both teams in the playoffs.

We better have our heads on straight!!!!!!

I concur

Iv lived in Westmoreland area all my life and never seen the inside of this place. If the description above is true it sounds like a singles bar for Lafayette and Hartsville folks to come over and meet new people they may can start a good relationship with. I figure creekbank would want his woman with a little tobacco juice running down her chin though. To get back on topic, if it rains I would give the advantage to Westmoreland. I havnt seen Macon play but talked to some who have and I feel we are more of a power running team than passing.

Give the advantage to whoever you want postman, but coming from an outsider, make no mistake about it, Macon CAN be a power running team. From everyone I talked to they steam-rolled LA in the physical part of the game. Good Luck!

6 classifications is too many for sure. In fact, I think 5 could be too many. They would never go to only 4 classifications, but I think that could be the best number. Heck, going back to just 3 classifications would be fins with me but do you know how much money would be lost. Will. Never. Happen.

Good luck to both teams. I was impressed with both teams. They also play with good sportsmanship. I hope McCoin does not play if he is not fully recovered. I know his doctor will do what is right. LA could still win this game...and if they don't...he will be more likely to play in the playoffs. This game should be a good one.

I thought I heard where he was ok. Where did you hear he wasn't scoot?

I am assuming your being sarcastic, but will answer you post staight up.

 

I am fine with giving the District champ an automatic bid and seeding priority. However, I have a big problem giving the runner up an automatic bid and seeding priority. The current system is heavily slanted against big districts and districts with lots of good teams in them.

 

Why should 40% of a district get automatic bids and seeding priority over a district that only gets less than 20% automatic bids and seeding priority.

 

Throw the runner-up in with the wild cards and then seed.

Yes, I was being sarcastic. But I hope I portrayed how foolish I thought that it sounded that district champions and runner ups not get seeded as a priority.

Your real problem is with the zoning of the districts so not sure what that has to do with the champs and runner ups. But speaking on your concern, I'm pretty sure the reason for having a lot in one district and much less in another is due to proximity and keeping rivalries in place.
