MASE is not the typical small school football program in Memphis. They will easily win by 3 TDS. Refs won’t allow a blowout, 2-3 of MASE TDS will get called back for holding.

First of all i would like to say Congratulations, be we both know Trenton was not the best team in 2a this year.

When was the last time Lake County won or played for in the state championship game?

They will see how much they could’ve used D Robinson in this game

The 1a playoffs has finally started, hope this will be a competitive game.

Not sure about Alcoa but I will say that the powerhouses in rural west Tn has always had great players but 90 percent do not earn scholarships. Mostly because of grades and coaches not taking to time to help players get recruited.

I was talking about powerhouses None from your area, because of all the focus on winning football games. It you can get a kid to improve year after year on the football field then the same improvement should show in the classroom as well as getting kids getting scholarships

Yes they have had great football players, but powerhouses have numerous players offered scholarships on a yearly basis. Too many programs in the area are more focused on wins and loses and not kids making it to the next level and succeeding in life.

I’m not talking about black coaches that are in predominantly black areas of the state or predominantly black schools. Those coaches probably have not experienced in racial setbacks. I’m talking about the rural west Tn Schools that rarely have black head coaches. In these areas you have to be extraordinary to say the least. You will not get the time that other coaches or given to succeed. The coaches you named didn’t start out winning 8,9, or 10 games the first few years as a head coach. It takes time. Milan is a great program but it’s not like y’all have 3, 4 , 5 star recruits like the serious powerhouse programs have throughout the state. Humble yourselves

What is a race card? Most wouldn’t understand the obstacles faced of becoming a black head coach in rural west TN. Take for example Huntingdon, Coach Mansfield underachieved for years before being able to make it passed the 1st couple of rounds of the playoffs.

I would have give him more years, Milan plays in the toughest region in West Tn and also the toughest schedule. The emergence of S Gibson has also weaken Milan football.

What ever happened to #7 Dequon Robinson? He was special.

It’s 1a football, in the whole state it might be 4 good teams and everyone else is garbage.

It’s Freedom Prep not the whole school system. And please stop with all the stereotyping of Memphis schools

Not sure how true it is, but I hearing that Freedom Prep might still make the playoffs because the ineligible player didn’t play in all 7 games. That might be a #4 seed.
