I'm happy our kids and coaches were both talented enough to get there and compete. Its all we as fans should ask for. Around 47 teams didnt make it to that game around 20 or so didnt even make the playoffs. If it was that easy everyone would be doing it. 

I’m thankful for the opportunity and appreciate the long road there.  However, what is easy is not my measuring stick... Nor is it that of #2, 8, 34, 52, 57, 60, 71 (apologies to the other badasses that I inadvertently left out).

Good post, not sure why anyone would be unhappy at this point if you are a Meigs fan. Truth is our coaches put together five outstanding teams in a row. And we look to be really good again in 21 most of our core players from last year will return with the exception of #34 Will Meadows, #57 Malachi Hayden, and #60 Hunter Brown. 

You are happy with coming in 2nd two years in a row?  I’m not.  I’m proud, but hardly content.  Any successful organization (military, Fortune 500 company, sports team) looks back over a previous performance and studies what went right, what went wrong, and what was in our control and what was not.  This reflection must be conducted honestly and apolitically.  Check egos at the door.... Fail to do that and people die, companies fail, and someone else wins the championship (respectively).  

It was said to me recently that if your season ends in Cookeville, you had a great year.  My response was “Yes, unless you lost there when you could have won. “

In 2019, we should have won.  For 2020, we could have won.  

I really hope our issues can be fixed with current staff.  But we we need something more than “Peabody is SP’s problem now.”  Else TC, H2O, or Marion will tattoo our #### (unpleasant I’m told) and we won’t see the Semi’s next year.

Looks like Meigs has dumbass fans like everybody else! Maybe y’all should bring back Holiday.  Best run in Meigs history last 5 years!! You can’t do nothin with Stupid. 

Ah, one of those folks who thinks the only choices are between the “bad” and “purty good.”  Peabody was great both years they beat Meigs. Not taking anything away from them.  We needed a lot of things to go right for us on both days.  But, what kind of asshat doesn’t see how outcoached we were?  

Forget offense, what about our DC??? I wonder if he has figured out by now to watch #86.

Having played them now with and without Swafford - it's two completely different teams. Swafford cannot be replaced but in my opinion they are a more dynamic football team this year. You cannot key on one player and stop them. 

Bingo. Our coaches are also coaching better (perhaps because they have to). 

Try https://www.1049themountain.com for radio. I think they did MC at Wartburg.

#1 is really good but I believe RW goes as #8 goes and If he’s goin they are dangerous 

Lots of threats in the RW backfield (1, 2, 8, 15) in their double wing variant that can wreak havoc with the LB or DL.  I’m less impressed with their Defense ( in 2nd half).

As well as #8

If #8 healthy, RW takes it.  Watch for 15 and the counter. 

Congrats to Will Meadows (RB), Malachi Hayden (OL), and Ben Smith (LB, honorable mention) for notice at https://gridironscouting.com/2020/11/08/all-tngs-greater-chattanooga/

How did you know their numbers? They still have game jerseys on?

I’m the wrong one to ask. I was indicating that I know the kids. I wasn’t the one who saw them Friday night.

Well I was there. So frankly, I don't care what story you were told.

Luckily for the Central fan, I didn't see them punch the man in the wheelchair, who is a paraplegic senior. Otherwise, I would be responding to you fellas from county jail.

I was there when the Central fan got decked. I was there when the police investigated. I was there when the Basin fan elected not to press charges on the Central fan.

There is nothing aggressive about a paralyzed senior citizen. The whole scene was instigated by a group of Central players that decided to wait on Basin players at the gate. #10, #6, and #8. Words were exchanged, a paraplegic old man was punched, and the Central fan was clocked in response. 

#10, 6, and 8 don’t need to be waiting on anyone at any gate at anytime.  They are not bad kids, but the first two are very capable of their mouths writing the proverbial check that their butts cannot cash....

Didn't understand why they didn't get him the ball on screens or in the flat. 

Re #28: For Friday night, it wouldn’t have helped. Moving forward, yes. Great slot player. He had success with routes at 8+ Yds.  But 28 was handled by a smaller (but not weaker)  Meigs player within 5 yds of scrimmage.  I hear the Meigs OLBs get aroused when opponents bring their screen game.  Could be a nasty rumor. Didn’t we send SP our Greenback film? 

Tomorrow’s DPA (https://www.dailypostathenian.com/) should have full offensive stats. Defensive stats vary by game/article.  

South Pitt folks: What effect has the local youth football league had on your HS success? Is 7th grade ball part of the school system? 

SP goes to Cookeville with some discipline (and pickle juice).  MC goes to Cookeville with better offensive play calling. 

#26 is Central’s best RB and a great competitor.
