Is Trousdale as good as they have been? Probably not. Do they have a Seay, a T.C. Payne, a Dustin Dillehay, a Dewayne Harper, Reggie Harper, Michael Scruggs? No, no dominant player on this team (and many could be added). I'm sure Signal Mountain is gonna look like the favorite when they step off the bus. Just like Eddie Moore and South Pitt in 98, just like FRA and Jason Tomicheck in 90.
Trousdale has the advantage for one simple reason. A small boy's dream. From the time these players were old enough to walk, they have known there place. On those sidelines, on that field. Playing in front of adoring fans, parents, classmates and friends. They have known this day would come, not wished and hoped, known. They don't hope or wish for success Friday night. It is expected. They know they are going to win.
