I missed it; have heard anything about it on my end.

I think the Mavs won that competition or came in 2nd, the best I can remember.

It's really doesn't matter what critics say. There's always those that do this every year. Listen I have been on here almost 10 years. I have yet to see anything positive preseason. Preseason 2022 Championship we got the same wrap and critics. I do not expect for it change. I am pretty sure based on the AC program alone they will be top notch, again in 4A. This program and staff are solid enough to have a chance at the state championship every year. Yes every year. And we all know that, baring injuries. Like Davey told me once. They take what they have to work with for the season game plan, like most programs, and then perfect it. The feeder program is tremendous and they won there championship this year. I can almost guarantee AC will be right there with all the big dogs. Past issues were the Defence that was the key to getting to a state and we did. We still have the new defense coach Lambert. So I will not call your statements negative or too harsh, but I will call them constructive criticism. And remember this program and staff have not went away, we still have IMO the best staff in the state You can now set back and watch what I am saying for the 2024 season. I am Confident!

It's never to early to get reports from OL Hickory. The season begins now because any success in the playoff would have to be credited to what's accomplished now, going forward. Hope to get news from winter workout, speed training testing and the upcoming stars for the Mavericks 2024 season. Twitter X etc. I called the Dream team a year before the 2022 state championship. Not ready to call this a dream team 2 but I am ready for a spectacular performance and December 7, 2024 appearance. My theme "It's Expected" Go Mavericks!

QB Cody Miller was needed on defense when Transfer came in; they decided to go with Hall since he had experience but Cody Miller was very good and could play anywhere on the field. AC only graduated 10 or 11 with 6-8 full time starters. I look for another good run this year better than last year. Of course IMO. The Mavs know how to compete and if it were not for the complex play calling and getting the QB on the same page with just 1 months of prep time AC would had add more wins. Point is last year they had one of the states hardest schedules still competed with last minute transfer and still went to Quarter finals. Trust me winnings is part of AC DNA; no turning back now. The West Game prime example they can compete and win; just can't beat ourselves as we did in this game. West went on to win the State Title this year

I will agree to disagree, based on the program AC has set up and just as important the defense they maintain. AC will do very well. It's all about programs,. They have won a state, tasted the blood, and are hungry. Many of course use this saying every year, and I mean every year (10 years) I have been on here. And 99% want to say this. AC continues to prove those wrong. I believe this years team, as they develop have great potential. I am not guessing anymore. With the program set up they will compete every year. And future wise a new QB 2029 grad. Should guarantee some state appearances! It's expected.

I feel the same way at this point, at best, even if you think your team can make the state; it's way too early to say that. I will say compete because they have potential. With so many variables, I can see why Swipes says compete. I am also seeing the Mavs competing very well but the have to replace the entire backfield. Pretty confident in staff getting this ready and pretty confident Davey will have a quarterback ready and what I believe is we bring in a dual option QB. Again with that type of QB we will need to have a good backup.

I don't think Pearl will make it back next year, could be Betsy?

Guru you might lose that bet because you didn't use Skunk. Lol

The Mavs should be in good shape if the roster is correct. Losing 12 and I am showing 6-8 starters. At least 4 big time contributions QB and RB included. It still looks like the Mavs have a few big holes to fill however based on this roster they have a lot to work with this year. If they get the big RB and QB solid this could be a really exciting year for Mav fans 2024. After last year's rebuild I am confident based on this criteria the Mavs have a shot but as usual, they have a lot of work to do

Watched the rerun Upperman played well against an highly talented PC. I want believe the rain may have slowed PC down but rain or shine a great team will shine. Upperman was just as good in the long run. Both teams deserved the win but Congratulations to PC. It's all just a game of chess when two great teams meet; it's whomever makes the right move at the right time(s).

A Big Congratulations to AC's very own Jamie Chadwell And Liberty's Head Coach to winnings the Conference Championship, Undefeated and most likely a New Year's Day Bowl!

Considering those weather factors that could very well change things; IMO, benefiting Upperman.

Stanton was tough! IMO he almost made it. He was probably one the more Exciting players I have seen the Mavs have, up to this point. I say that with reservation hoping my great nephew 2029 graduation class will add something to it.

Yep slipping with the names but had the correct person just not the name, In my head! Oh well it happens! Lol

That's true!! Starting to lose it as I get older! It happens!

And then of course the obvious, the Mavs Stanton Martin finished as #1 in state passing and #10 Nationally in passing. Ended up 15-0 and a state championship last year. I think if we're honest that was a head scratcher, to say the least.

Upperman with run and time consuming drives a great run defence. PC with better than average defence, good run game..... but a very quick strike capability. PC just beat a good explosive Haywood team fairly easy and not only is PC a Veteran to State Appearances but have a hungry and returning veteran group from last year. Upperman is a very good football team with a great defense but it's hard for me to see Upperman winning this one, but it's not impossible. When comes to a state championship and two undefeated teams, you can pretty much well flip a coin.

Just my opinion Upperman showed great defence, time management and execution against Greeneville. The one area that Upperman may get beat is the deep ball and PC appears to be very good in this area. It could still turn out to be a good game. PC had trouble with the Mavs dual backs last year because of the balance passing game. Upperman had trouble with Greeneville deep ball. This is where the difference could be. Upperman did not show much against Greeneville in the passing department, either. I think 3 passes total offence. The PC QB is pretty good. I think PC overall has a 28-14 advantage. But who knows that's why we play the game. Should be a fun game and if Upperman makes adjustments this week, anything could happen.

Why the Mavs don't get back to read option and pass too. Greeneville had trouble if you mix it up on the run. They played and concentrated on Moog and that is all they had to do and the done good at it. But when you mix it up Greeneville has trouble. Uppermans did not even pass or that game could have been over quick. I have to hand it to Upperman defense. I think however if Greeneville would have passed more they would have had a better chance. But one thing is pretty true when you get to this level you need a good pass game as speed and talent will get you. The 3 headed Monsters better wake up!

Prayers and sad to hear.

Am sad we didn't get to true. Didn't expect Upperman to dominate our far east teams but it happens. Greeneville had a Great year. Can't wait for another season for Greeneville and AC too. Greeneville may have got a little too excited over last week; not taking anything from a good Upperman team. But that did not look like Greeneville. Well good insight for next year Greeneville and AC. We definitely need an option QB like past years ago Stanton Martin. Util we meet again!

Congratulations to another Great Year for Greeneville and the East! And Congratulations to Upperman,!
