Ouch!!! That is shocking given the score in the 3rd.

Does anyone know how many yards Hylick had against DA last night?

TKA is a physical team. I don't know about 17 bit I hope you're right

That's a BOLD prediction! It's playoff time!!!

NCS by 10

Watching TKA Hudl, they look really impressive. I think this will be a good ball game. I think it will be a close one. I think it will be a war actually. Kings looks to be very physical so I agree 100% in your assessment. I would love to see the game vs. MTCS. I am going to look and see if I can find on line. I think MICA and DA will also be much closer than people think IF Hylick is the back he is advertised to be. I don' think DA is that good on D. Should be a great Friday night this week.

Why should this lost be deleted? It is a very valid question. Has Bowers actually out coached anyone in the last 5 years? With the talent pool shifting, now his expertise as a coach is supposed to shine, yet Enswoth is defeated by a Baylor team they should have handled.

Congratulations to all the semi finalist and their respective schools! Very well deserved

I think we know who the top 3 teams are and I think most people have FC and DA as the top 2. If NCS makes it to the ship, I am telling You, DA doesn't want to see that smash mouth attack again. Go back and look at the NCS rushing attack against the top 4 teams Kim their schedule, we get better in the second half. I have to believe( and hope) Brothers sees this and pounds DA. That's a big if. We have to take it 1 game at a time

The funny thing is how everyone said we would get killed by DA. Brothers didn' go for it on a 4th and 1 the second series of the ball game after NCS had established it was the more physical team that night. I think it is also funny how nobody talks about the poor tackling by NCS that game. Hewitt was hit in the backfield the first play of the game. Honestly, DA doesn't bother me at all. I feel great about that game. LOTS of holes in the DA defense by a team that wants to be physical. I am more concerned with FC. They seem more like us. I firmly believe the winner of that game wins state.

Did you catch the DA/NCS game earlier this year? How will DA stop the NCS attack. Our coach lost that one and the NCS kids know they can beat DA. I am hoping for the bracket playing out chalk. We don't get a chance to play FC during the regular season so I think that will be fun going out on the road. And hey, it SEEMS like DCA is starting to click, I wouldn't be shocked if they give DA all they want.

I have only seen Hudl on the FC kid. What schools are recruiting him?

Actually 2 TD against BGA. 1 on a 32 yard screen

DA, FC and NCS all had backs that say out the 2nd half of games. Myers sat out the second half of 4 games(Tipton, Clarksville Academy, JCA, Zion) and so did Hewitt. Myers also missed the 1st game. To me the kicker is the out of region schedule. You can look at that in a early post on this thread. I put a link in that compared all the top guys. I know we are all fans of our players but this year, I think there is a clear 1 and 2.

Here is the best breakdown of the top skill players in II A. Myers has more rushing and total yards than Hewitt and only 6 TD behind. Again this is all while missing the 1st game due to injury. Take a look at the link below. Should be some really interesting discussion. http://www.unapproved website.com/local/player/stat_comparison.aspx?athleteid=f7dd8769-02cc-4adc-bedd-e2a2c23e08c8&ssid=d7de9baf-87f8-4a16-bf62-ff51dcb7b9d5&athlete2id=9ffaaf86-57c2-4d3d-8b98-136949cab09d&athlete3id=7deff945-4079-46c3-ba0f-29f4bd673fd2&athlete4id=268d6110-a874-4240-b653-b5831222c082

no doubt about that! Everyone we are talking about is a player. Nothing wrong with that. It's funny how we heard Hylick was pulled early and "that's a fact", yet he is getting yards against the 3rd and 4th strings to pad his stats. Again, the other backs mentioned balled when the spotlight shined brightest, Hylick did not!

That's funny hahahaha

30-0 says it all. 0 TD and 32 yards against TKA? I think it's time for you to admit is a two horse race

Mr. Football normally goes to a JR that was nominated last year, so yes Lawless

Couldn't agree more. Mr. Football finalist should be a guy that carries his team in the biggest games of the year. IMO, Hylick hasn't done that. I have heard great things about the QB from DCA. Looking ahead, if everything holds on the bracket, the semifinals will be great matchup, NCS @ FCA and DCA @ DA. HHoly cow! Lots for ball to be played though.

Tonight's game 100% cements my thoughts that this is truly a 2 horse race. DCA 30 MIC 0??? Where was Hylick tonight? Hewitt, Myers, Lawless and Smith. That's It, period

This is the problem with Hylick numbers. You keep a "star" back in with the game clearly out of hand to pad stats, thus "leading the state in rushing most of the year". Hewitt and Myers have each been pulled at half and Myers in the 2nd quarter. Against the top competition, Hewitt and Myers have each shined. This is between those two and nobody else.

Hewitt and Myers have each been lulled when the games are out of reach. Hylick has been left in when games are out of hand. MICA and DA have NOT played a regular season game so what happens in a scrimmage has no bearing at at. Coaches don't game plan to stop the best players in a scrimmage. Also, Myers has been in the top 5 in rushing having missed a game. Myers has lead the state most of the year in yards per game. Here is the most telling stat for me, not only should we look at how these backs did against the top teams in the region, look at the non region schedule. Hewitt and Myers both faced FRA and did well. Myers rushed for 226 against BGA who is a top team in DII AA. Plus the DA NCS game was one of the best of the year. I think people would pay big money to see that one again. TNL, I know you are for Hylick, but this should be a two horse race. That doesn't take away from the season your guy has had. To be honest, your school does a great job of promoting him as does DA with Hewitt. Great discussions

I think this is spot on. I think it's a two person race between Hewitt and Myers. NCS has had 3 games where Myers didn't play in the 2nd quarter and is still leading the state in rushing. I think a valid argument can be made for either back. I think Hewitt has much cleaner running lanes do to the QB on DA but I don't want that to take away from his year. I am not sure how many people saw the DA/NCS game but Myers faced 9 and 10 man boxes much of the game and still had 300+. That being said, I think all mentioned are having a tremendous year. Good luck in the playoffs
