I won't. Lol. I have no rooting interest in this game, just opinions based on what I see. That NCS passing game is about 90 YPG and sub 50% completion. Maybe that's enough to keep a good team like DA honest. Maybe not though. My guess is if DA can contain the NCS RB, they win this one going away.

I think NCS being the better overall team is a real stretch here. They have a great run game but no real passing game to go with it. DA has a great line and probably the best passing offense in the state to complement the great run game. NCS may have to pick their poison here and commit to trying to stop one or the other. I believe the only common games are Fayette Academy and FRA. NCS struggled with both more so than DA did.

Not a chance. TKA will fair about like DCA and MJCA have. FCS wins 35-14.

Blade has to have an accurate passer to run his system. When he has had that, he has been very successful. He doesn't have that this year. Its amazing to me Indy and Blade don't have a top tier QB who wants to throw the ball 40 times a game.

No way LA makes a change after this season IMO. They will cite playing in a new division, low SR numbers, injuries, etc. He makes it 1 more year at least. It really doesn't matter though. They can go hire Nick Saban but they just don't have any talent to compete at that level. They couldn't compete in DIIA for that matter. Unless LA is willing to invest big $$ in the program they will continue to be embarrassed. That loss to Goodpasture is really a gut punch to the program.

Agreed. They have been out manned and far from competitive every game but one. The one game they got the W saw LA QB and RB leave the game injured. Team will most likely finish 1-9 this year and not sure next year looks any better. They have played 3 smaller, DII-A teams and been destroyed in each of those. The loss at DA, which is approximately 5 miles down the road, had to be especially painful.

Yes and it's quite impressive. I think FCS is a 2018 and the others are 2019. What the NCS and FCS backs are able to do is really impressive considering they are not really a passing threat so teams can key on the run. Doesn't seem to matter tho as they still rack up tons of yards.

The West is awful once you get past #1 & #2. NCS and DA are both very strong.

Not sure they can score vs anyone tho. They couldn't score in 2nd half vs FCS and they couldn't score when needed last night. The D is the big worry. Not sure they can stop anyone. Again, I don't have a team. I do think the Gold Ball will rest with NCS, FCS or DA this year tho. Not hating on any other teams. I have seen DCA, FCS, MJCA & DA play this year so far along with several East and West teams. I feel I can form my own opinion based on that.

Not trying to be cool here. Stating what I see. That's it. Lots of folks been banging the MJCA drum this year; including me early. The TKA loss was a bad deal and FCS humiliated them so yes, it is fair and accurate to label them pretenders rather than contenders. Play on words rather than an attack on kids.

I know what I see and as I have said before these are my opinions. Nothing more. I know DCA has been embarassed by FCS and MTCS now. Getting 60 hung on you by a 3rd or 4th place team leads me to have the opinion they have no prayer of competing for a championship. I bet you are in the minority seeing this glass half full like you do. Who has DCA beat? Goodpasture, Lancaster and Ezell. Come on man.

How are facts abrasive? I don't really have a team. I try to make it out to see a number of different teams each year and just call it like I see it. They lost 55-14 dude! What I said is not even close to being out of line. The only people offended are prob parents of MJCA players who thought they were a lot better than they are.

I think last night told us a whole lot. 2-4 in the East is a complete toss up right now but one thing is certain; DCA, TKA, MJCA & MTCS have no chance of competing for a State Championship like I have said.

MJCA still a pretender. Not quite ready to play with the big boys I guess.

Scheduling JPII and Briarcrest was just dumb. Period. Those games get kids hurt. South Pitt is a quality opponent and a good game although GCS will get throttled by them.

Come on BigChief. Pay attention. They are playing down vs DA, FCS & DCA and getting mauled. That is what I was alluding to. See my previous comment below. They are currently 0-3 vs DII-A teams and have been embarrassed each of those games. Combined score in those 3 L's is 20-104. That is unacceptable considering they are playing down.

Well said. TSSAA should compensate DCA for their lost gate $$$. Next good decision TSSAA makes will be the first. Schools like Concord should be playing 8 man until their #'s get where they need to be.

I'm not gonna assess coaches on here. Not my place and not sure I'm equipped to do that in any regard. I will say GCS is a pretty bad team. They don't really do anything especially well. I see a lot of L's in their future the rest of this year and next. Who knows beyond that. They must get some players in there if they are gonna compete. They are currently 0-3 vs DII-A teams and have been embarrassed each of those games. Combined score in those 3 L's is 20-104. That is unacceptable considering they are playing down.

Maybe but I don't see any scenario DCA beats DA, FCS or NCS unless crazy stuff happens. FCS lost 3 first half fumbles and still won going away. What I think is your loyalty to DCA maybe has you leaning too favorably to them. I don't mean that ugly either so no need for a bunch of ugly back and forth. Most everyone has their teams and it does affect their ability to be objective at times. DCA struggled containing Foutch and they would do the same vs DA and NCS backs who are both very dynamic. Sprinkle in the DA passing attack and DCA would be in a ton of trouble against them just like last year when they got ran on their home field. DCA has a loss to FRA as well. DA beat them by 3 scores while NCS beat them as well. Both of those were at FRA too. I think DCA is gonna have to play very well to beat MJCA and that game appears to be a toss up right now. I'm not saying they are a bad team but they are not an elite team in this division.

Starting to come into focus after last night. Looks like some decent match-ups coming this week. Tipton Rosemark vs DA. Both teams undefeated but I think DA rolls 42-14. MTCS vs DCA and FCS vs MJCA as well. DCA and FCS should both win by 2 scores or more. The East may be decided after this week. I look for that to be FCS, DCA, MJCA, TKA 1-4. The West has their big showdown next week when DA travels to NCS to determine District Championship. Not sure who I like in that one yet but I am leaning towards DA. NCS ground game is fantastic but the DA offense is tough to stop with their passing ability complementing the great running game.

GCS has had poor line play and no real playmakers. Not gonna complete very well with that mixture. They are up against very stiff competition in DII-AA and their out of District schedule has been brutal to say the least. They will go 0-3 this year vs DII-A and are solidly heading for a 1-9 season. Next year does not look to be a whole lot better either when you look at the roster. #5 has been a bright spot since he returned from injury but they need some other kids to step up or transfer in. GCS is in a lot of trouble for the foreseeable future. They do have Sonn and basketball tho.

DA, NCS & FCS are your dominant teams. DCA, MJCA, TKA would have to play perfect and those 3 teams would have to have an off night to lose.

I think FCS is the favorite for that Region but I would go DA, FCS & NCS (in that order) for state championship. I don't think anyone else has a legitimate shot.

I had thought MJCA could be a sleeper this year and possibly one of the elite teams but that loss to TKA changed my mind. They are in that second tier group of teams in DII-A along with MTCS, TKA, DCA. None of these teams are a State Championship threat.

I think this is just an observation more than anything. I find no issue at all with saying a kid had a bad game, etc. His comments were not over the top or in depth but rather a very general observation. No issues at all with this.
