Who has who and by what score. I am guessing we are coming in as the underdogs again but after that 4th quarter showing, I think we proved ourselves last week. I commented that our speed at the skill position was going to be our strong point and that if the turf held up, We have a true dual threat at QB and that also showed Friday night. Powell has lost two this year and both to dominant teams. We have lost only one but was to a lessor opponent. Personally, I am into this underdog role!

It should be an offensive game for sure with lots of points. I and us Page faithful are excited. This has been an incredible run for us, historic. I’m hoping the field will not be a mess and slow us down. Our edge is speed but we are going to need traction in the middle to stop that HC run game.

Who’s tiptoeing? What I said was/is factual.

I agree with you. Especially since Alcoa is not technically a private school. Eventually every team or program or team has a down year every now and them and every now and then a team has an incredible run. Who ever is up when Alcoa is down will be lucky.

This is an excellent quote from another thread. To make it to the semis, a team has to be good regardless of the region. There are some teams who are just at another level and it shows by round four. Can you just imagine all of the teams over the years who have had very good or even undefeated regular seasons but have yet to make it this far?

How does HC speed on the outside on D match up? Are the corners fast or just quick or both? We have a kid, that when he is on, can stretch the field. We’ve been a little banged up on the O-line some this year but have solid second stringers who have filled in.

Don’t discount us. Our kids have motivation because we know we can be beat. However, we have a great group of kids and they play for each other. There was talk last night at the game that the HC QB is actually a Westview kid and if not for Simpson, he may have been the best they have had. Is he that good?

Is the heat working okay down there in the basketball gym? Incase it wasn’t known, Page is in the semi’s. Also, one doesn’t have to have a 9-1 or 10-0 record to make it to the fourth round of the playoffs. The only requirement is that they are good. In this case, a 9-1 record with a regional championship actually equates to a good team, for the record.

I got me a fan or at least the leader of my fan club.... ..... or, maybe a stalker. Gotta be tough (and boring) sitting at home after the first round of the playoffs with no team to cheer for!

Round threeeeeeeeee! Now, don't be like that towards those Hohenwald folks. They just don't know any better. I tell you what, that pumpkin sure does have a nice ride to it! How are those bulldogs doing way over there? Y'all getting ready for the third round this Friday night?

I’ve never thought the privates should be playing against the publics and that rivalry there is a prime example why.

When you are a good football team, it doesn’t really matter about strength of schedule as long as you make it to the third round. Good teams make it to round three. Fake teams go 9-1 and/or 10-0 and get put out in the first or second round.

Just a side note here, Page is in the third round. Just thought I'd point that out to anyone who is not playing basketball down there in Hohenwald.

Well, if you exclude all of those eggs laid against Lipscomb several years back there about 15 years ago, 2007, 2011, 2016 and 2017. Finally got over the hump against a down Lipscomb team but there have been head scratchers like that Bolivar loss.

I think this is going to be a heck of a game and am looking forward to it! I know Green Hill is only in their second year but you guys came on strong in that first year. I know we have got to be better on the perimeter and not get caught looking. We have had a tendency to watch the ball and try to make individual plays all year long. I noticed coach started pulling kids and that seemed to correct it somewhat. I sure hope you are right and we come out on top of this one! But, I don't know if we can just get over this hump! You guys had a pretty good schedule this year and faced some decent competition. We will see how our O line can hold up to the pressure. I think if we can do that, it will open up our run game.

Over the last 13-15 years, Giles has been known to lay a few eggs in the playoffs.

We’ve tried to tell ‘em for years now! What you wanna bet happens to Hohenwald by round two next year?

You don’t have to go through all that trouble. Just become buddies with a couple of guys in the T$$AA and have them pick out the worst possible teams in your area, form a region and put you in it. Then, look around for the worst possible teams around you (can even be single A or even an 0 for 40 5A Spring Hill) for your out of region schedule. Now, you will have a false sense of pride and some may even mock your team as paper champions but just ignore them. Then wala, your team can make the playoffs every year with high odds to make it to round two. However, just know you wont make it past the second round because your team wont know how to compete at a high level due to not facing much competition through the regular season. 0/0 you are welcome. Hope that helps.

Well, another second round exit for the mighty Hohenwald panthers. Seems it doesn’t matter if they have a 6-4, 7-3 or 10-0 regular season record, they will ALWAYS get put out by the second round. As for this year, Hohenwald faced six teams out of 12 with winning records. Out of those six, they only won two. Supposedly, the East Hickman win came from a team that had several injuries but, I don’t believe in excuses. The other win against a winning team came against a Cascade team that @GeneralForrestkept telling us was terrible and (over rated)(does that sound familiar?). Unfortunately however, we can’t use the #paperchampion nor the #regularseasonpaperchampions for this year. As usual, basically only had to win one game of importance for that title but yet, just could not do that. I guess I will just have to wait another entire year before I get to begin reminding people how terrible the schedule is and how plain awful the out-of-region schedule is and the early round playoff exit that will surely happen!

Oh yeah, that’s a gimme this time of the year each year, regardless of who Hohenwald plays.

Second round of the playoffs involving Hohenwald, RP, so take a wild guess.

Oh, that’s going to be the excuse this year? It’s gotta be the refs fault some how! What about all those Friday night fantom calls and no calls down there in Hogenwald?

I said something similar and so far tonight we both look correct, unfortunately.

Y’all got those basketballs aired up and heat turned on in that gym down there in Hohenwald? Second round playoffs. Know what that means each and every year! Basketball time!

How do you lose to a 5-5 Melrose team that got beat by 3-7 White Station? That's just too funny!
