Thanks brother and very well said!

Happy Holidays to you too brother! I hope so too bc it would be a classic and take place the day after Thanksgiving which means a trip to state on the line!

Weather was awful...glad you guys won and got out of there fast!

Congrats Alcoa on a 9th straight title and another impressive win. Looking forward to another grudge match next year at Pistol Creek. Do you all lose a lot from this years team? I know my Rebels have a good bit to replace on both sides of the ball but we will be alright - Next man up right? Anyway Merry Christmas and Happy New Year BC and F5.

BC, Congrats on another Title. How does Cloud 9 feel? Im sure incredible bc back 2 back feels wonderful for my Rebels and I! As for our buddy 1oldpatriot - looks like I was right! No title again for them and didnt get past the second round. Moral of the story - bulletin board material is a heckuva thing! Merry Christmas and we will see you at Pistol Creek next season.

I have 3 now and you didnt get past the second round again. Looking forward to our next scrimmage.

Again congrats on beating us in that scrimmage. Maybe a shirt can be made in honor of that win now. By the way how did our QB look on his two td passes in the championship game? Or the fact our tailback rushed for over 1000 yards and 18 tds even with missing 2 and a half games on the year? Asking for a friend.

This post aged beautifully wouldnt you say? Lol

Props to Houston...dominated the game in horrible conditions and I was very wrong as I thought Oakland would win again like always. Congratulations on your 1st ball!

It was nice seeing that and seeing the players and coaches getting ring sized here soon. Go Rebels!

One last thing for all the haters of West on this board and this thread - We are criticized when we win big or win close because we are supposed to with all this talent. We are criticized when we lose bc of bad coaching or underachieving with talent. Recruiting, district lines, oh my. For once can someone just give credit where credits due? Guess not...Merry Christmas and see you next year. Go Rebels!

Thank you BC and congrats on Cloud 9..see you next year in Pistol Creek! Happy Holiday's!

Agree to an extent. The schedule and record may not be the best next season going into playoffs but until someone in 5A beats West on this side of the state they should be in the 3rd round every year. As a matter of fact Powell, Oak Ridge and Central are the only three 5A teams since 2019 to beat West. So until that changes - West always has a punchers chance. Go Rebels!

Barney you have 2 ol, 3 wr, qb, 2 rb's on offense and 3 dl, 3 lb's, 1 cb and the kicker. So 7 starters on offense and 1 backup. 6 starters on defense and 1 backup. Lots of young talent in the wings but no big game experience...gonna be fun watching that team grow up like this one. Go Rebels!

Proud of West for finding another way to win and go back 2 back. Had to replace 16 starters from last year and these kids just would not be denied. Hats off to Page for fighting till the end. I really thought West was gonna win by a 31 to 14 margin the way the game was going, but they shut West down and changed offense up to score and find success against the West defense. Nonetheless West won and is the 2023 State Champs! Go Rebels!

Hope ur 3 for 3 tomorrow

Prediction Time - So I think this game will be a defensive slugfest for 4 quarters in the rain with West getting a late score to pull it out. West 14 Page 10. Go Rebels!

Better game than McCallie vs Baylor? I only say that game will be more entertaining bc theyll both probably score 30 and whoever has the ball last should win. If you like defense- West and Page is your game. Id be shocked if either team gets to 20.

Ive got Oakland by 21 in this one.

Agree with this to an extent. If each other played the others schedule would each team still be 13-1? In any case on Friday regardless of the first 14 games played by either team - its 48 minutes, one game to determine whose better than the other...Hopefully it will be my Rebels! Go Rebels!

Agree w all except im going w West, Friendship and McCallie. Best game - Baylor vs McCallie

Kevin Lane would be a great choice for Central and I hope he gets it if he puts his hat in the ring.

Honestly would not be surprised if this one came down to who got to 14 based on how both these defenses play. Might even come down to has a better fg kicker also.

So proud of my West Rebels for winning tonight and getting a shot at another gold ball after losing 30 seniors as well as having to replace 15 starters from last years team. They always say you need to be playing your best ball in the playoffs and these guys are doing it, especially now that they are all healthy. If they can hold on to the ball and continue to create turnovers as well as harrass the opposing Qb next Friday, I do believe West will go back2back with that incredible defense. Glad many posters are giving this team there due as there were some on here that dogged this team off of scrimmages in the preseason and for losing to Alcoa whose going for their 9th in a row. Honestly go kick rocks. Go Rebels!

Barney, Since the championship games start Thursday- will ur predictions be given Wednesday or Thursday morning before 11?
