I don't post as much as I used to, but I'll dive into this one to support Page. First of all congrats to both schools on reaching this point in the post season. It's also great to see Marshall county and Giles County win, meaning all 4 teams from our region won in the first round, but this thread is for our game.
A couple of thoughts. Spring Hill has a darn good football team. It's already obvious to me that they finally have a good football coach at the head of their program again. This year that team looks much more organized, motivated, and prepared then the last few years. They have talent, but they're also being coached up. I haven't seen that program look this way in a few years. They're not a state championship team, but much improved from the last few years.
Page has also exceeded my expectations. I've followed and supported the school ever since I've played, and I didn't know what to expect from this group when the season started. I'll admit I didn't expect them to be in this position, with all of the new faces in starting positions. The coaching staff deserves a lot of credit for getting this team ready, and more importantly the kids for making it happen.
I think both teams have continued to gel and improve as the season has progressed, and they will both be ready to play in this one. I think it will be very similar to the first game. Back and forth, and close at the end. I think Page will squeak it out.
