Millington 49-7 over Munford at the half and final score.

One point is as good as a hundred. Where is Ace this year? He was all over the boards last year stroking Arlington.

Like opponents: Records, Mill 4-2, Cordova 3-3 Bartlett - Millington 42-7, Cordova 14-3 - advantage Millington Raleigh Egypt - Mill 50-0, Cordova 35-0 - advantage Millington Head to Head - Millington 35-7 - advantage Millington Bolton - Millington 7-0, Cordova 16-13 - advantage Millington Craigmont - Millington 0-7, Cordova 7-6 - advantage Cordova Arlington - Millington 7-10, Cordova 6-22 - advantage Millington Non-conf teams and their records: Millington (3 Loses and 1 win) : MUS - 10-0 CBHS - 8-2 Olive Branch - 8-2 Munford - 3-7 Cordova (2 Loses and 2 wins): ECS - 8-1 Brighton - 8-2 Desoto Central - 3-7 Collierville - 3-7 ECS, Desoto Central, and Collierville aren't even close to MUS, CBHS, and Olive Branch. Cordova beat Brighton, Munford beat Brighton, Millington beat Munford. You can't argue with that! It's in black and white. All these sos formulas and such are subjective and flawed. What did teams do against like opponents and head to head. Thats the true measure!

I think your formula is flawed. How can you have Millington below Cordova when Millington blew them out 35-7 on Cordova's home field?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Arlington in a close one 10-7 in overtime.

I agree with what you guys are saying, but no one has said anything about the tackling. I can't believe at this level those kids still do not know the fundamentals of tackling. And I've seen them play more than just the Arlington game. Players in the right places to make plays and then miss tackles! It finally bit them in the rear end Friday.

Right on Doug!! Great post.

No problem dou. Hope it helped. Heck, I'm available in the future to pick against the Trojans whenever you need help getting them motivated for a nominal fee.....popcorn! Remember dou, I am a fan of the Trojans and all the teams around here. I just pickem as I see them. Good luck tonight and prove me wrong!

I'd like to see the list of African American head coaches in Tennessee and where they are located. That will tell the true story.

I suspect that you are correct, Visionaire. Sad, but true.....again. Bottom line: Both situations are an awfully sad commentary about the state of race relations in these school systems. I would venture to say that the same can be said in middle and east tn.

Doug, Get your printer!!!!! Here is another one to print out!!!!

Arlington 28 - Millington 14 Cordova 21 - Bolton 14 Craigmont 21 - Bartlett 7 Kirby 28 - Ridgeway 21 Whitehaven 28 - 20 Whitestation 42 - Mitchell 27

Ace, Also, I wonder why a coach of any team would get on a message board, period. You seem to add fuel to the fire all the time on here with the Millington fans. I wonder if Arlington's head coach knows you get on here and post all the time and if he would approve. I don't have a certain team, but happen to live in the area and try to keep up with all the teams, Millington, Arlington, Bolton, Rosemark, Munford, Brighton, Covington, etc. I am just a fan of good HS football. I have been to quite a few different games this season, and I will tell you that there are fans just like the Millington fans you talk about at every school. Matter of fact, at the Arlington/Craigmont game I personally witnessed an Arlington fan disrespect the Millington coaching staff once Arlington scored the go ahead touchdown, after sitting there the whole game not saying a word while they were behind. The Millington coaching staff sat there the whole game and never said or did anything. It happens everywhere.
