Take it for what it’s worth, @tradertwodoes have (some) E-cred. Now, how much is (some), is debatable

They are playing for the state championship later this evening. Noticed they have swept Hohenwald in all sports games so far this academic year. Congratulations to Loretto’s girls basketball!

Major news! Already have one on staff! If Milan plays their cards right on this deal, they will be moved out of R6 or have R6 split in a way that those other hard nosed teams will be moved out and replaced with easier teams. Then, play some of those West Tennessee single A teams to fill the OOR schedule and wala, back to region champs and back to high/low W/L records.

I believe it may have been just speculation. So, it may not be and, I am sure some already know who it is. Speculation (word) was that the Milan coach already has a relationship with Simpson because he was a record setting QB with UTM. It was also added in that Milan already has his replacement on staff. I just don’t know enough about those West Tennessee programs and just restating what has been said.

Word matriculating down here is the coach didn’t want to go through what he did with Jason Simpson during the older Simpson’s last year again. Coach is still going to be in classroom. Odds on bet is that Carr is next coach but not sure if he has teaching certificate/license.

I’ve got a great idea. Just occurred to me. Now, just hear me out. Let’s modernize just a little bit. Let’s trade the Wing T in for the spread. But, here In lies the catch; let’s keep scheduling weak teams such as zero for fifty Spring Hill and newly implemented home school team's which, like Spring Hill, have won like four games in five years. See, that way we can say we are actually modernizing and folks won’t know that all we are doing is trading the 9-2 Wing T for a 9-2 spread. Doesn’t that make sense?

The end was a head scratcher for sure! Without talking to coach, we were discussing what we thought went down at the end and our (my) thought is that coach got nervous because of three straight times to the championship game and may have lost a sense of where we were. What makes me think that is due to the run game being prevalent then switching to vertical passing game. It was just so characteristically different that we were all scratching our heads. Having said all of that, there was just a sense of collectiveness that we were going to pull it out at the end like we had done before. Hats off to West; they repeated.

24-7 West half way through the third. One big play away from turning this back around!

Saw where Riverside has a gofundme set up for $18K for travel. Can someone break that down where I can understand that exhorbant cost, please ?

Not to trash talk (that should be reserved for those little 1A and 2 A threads) but, we have taken care of business this year, including both the regular season and playoffs. We are in the championship for a reason and that reason is not because we are nor have been a bad team any this year. Pulling for the patriots!

And honestly, so not looking forward to that! We are very much enjoying our run that has included this and, the last two years!

Don’t put that Ricky Bobby on us! We have seen how our fellow county schools have faired when moved up to 6A!

I think this is going to come down to a defensive slugfest or struggle; which ever you want to call it. I’ve been saying all year that we are stout in the middle. We are clicking on all cylinders now so, West will have to turn the corner running but, we have speed to match. I think we were just happy to be here the past two years but now we are wanting the gold ball. That may be the difference this year.

How did R5 compare with R6?

Just an FYI: PURE has won four games in five years including a two game Covid season.

I was honestly conflicted about playing HC again in the playoffs. Two years ago they had a fan that just could not handle us defeating them. Kind of wanted to beat them again but, because of the past two years, they may have had more fire this year. Know nothing about SC or their history. However, this is our third year in a row being here. We have a very strong D and as ive preached all year, we are very stout in the middle. Seems two weeks ago our speed finally topped the table and has been a major factor, on defense. On offense, we hold our own and pound it. Can put the ball over the seam and down the middLe. Very excited to be here once again!

Centennial came to play! 7-7 halfway through the second.

In the voice of John Ward: ”It’s time”.

I, for one, am leery of this as well. This is exactly what the reference of “difficult to beat a good team twice” comes from. The X’s and O’s are going to have to be good because I’m sure the Jimmy’s and joe’s are going to have the game of their lives, for both teams!

So glad that we can have pride in our program!

Because I'm naturally a fan of Page, I am rooting for us!! But, I think the rematch may go a little different but hop not sideways for us. I'm sure Centennial will be up for this one! Again, I've said all season long we are stout in the middle but, I do think we have the speed on D to hang with anyone. I'm wondering if Centennial will come out and try to attack the outside and deep or, if they will see if they can get the sweep(s) going?

They were good enough to make it to the second round. I know of some none and one loss teams that got eviserated in the first round.

Maybe that is why we are headed to the third round and both of these teams season’s have ended due to blowouts!

I guess @BIGPURPLEMACHINEis going to get a head start on that paperwork to move Milan on up to 4A. Or, maybe hope for another Covid year where they can skip the first two rounds and pick up a depleted Covington team?

Point still remains after all this time!
