If Groves is still running the ball that is highly likely. Long season though.

Combined 16 points in 2 years. The freshmen and sophomores Marion won those last 2 meetings with will be juniors and seniors. Forrest has some good kids don't get me wrong. Just hard for me to see them coming to Jasper and beating Marion with what's returning and what is being added this summer.

What game was that?

It's possible you come into Jasper with a better record than the Warriors. Marion has to go to Fayetteville and Sequatchie and have added a pretty good 5A team to this year's schedule. Rockets could be playing Fayetteville at the end of the season for the region title. (I hope you guys have a good clock operator for the ending)

Got another nice addition coming.

Not sure they're under the radar. Will Forrest be improved under a new coach? That remains to be seen. Learning a totally new offense will have some growing pains but fortunately the Rockets will play Marion and Fayetteville at the end of the season. By then they may have a better grasp of it. Do I think they can come into Jasper with what the Warriors have returning and potentially adding? Personally I don't think so. Stranger things have happened but that's still a tall task. I wish the Rockets luck next season but I'm hoping you're 2nd in the region. Hahaha

Warriors return 16 or 17 starters from last season. Lose a couple skill kids that will actually hurt more in the secondary than on offense. A few younger kids that will step into those roles on offense that may produce more speed but need some more experience. QB play will once again make or break their season. Kid that was #2 QB last year may push for the starting role if he has a good spring and summer. Very athletic and can score from anywhere on the field. Few rumors floating around about some area kids but that's usually the norm. Have a very good shot at the East but as long as Groves is running the ball at ER they're the favorite.

Anything is possible but losing Villazon, Grissom, Bell, etc.... will definitely hurt. I'd say Marion with Fayetteville and Forrest battling for 2nd.

Seeing as how they're in front of you they may be there supporting the boys. I've found that not as many Jasper fans hate the Pirates as people on here like to think. Just enjoy the title without worrying about Jasper fans. Congratulations to SP!!!!

Congratulations to the Indians. A lot of us old heads knew Groves would be hard to stop. Good luck the rest of the way. Safe travels back home.

He's good. Very good

You are correct. That's the year they beat Maryville in the semis.

Lost to them in '08 too I believe 18-13. Marion vs Smith games have always been there. Be nice to have you guys down one year.

Sometimes you just need a shoulder to cry on. I mean it was 45-0 AT THE HALF. I wouldn't bring it up hoping people would forget about it.

Got the boxes delivered to the field house. Ingles even donated some kleenex.

Dunlap will see about 85% of that team next year so hopefully you get a little bigger and stronger. But hey everyone has an excuse when you lose. We've heard it all. Half our team didn't dress out, we played our jv team, we had a lot of injuries, we played a bad game, we played with 2 left shoes, our cheerleaders only had 1 pom pom, etc.... Sometimes you just lose to a better team.

I'm going by Ingles today and getting them some boxes. Sad day tomorrow but we'll start preparing for next season.

Coaches have already talked to the kids. Packing their lockers up on Friday. No shot at all to beat East. Been a good year fellas

It's been a while so you get a pass

Starting RB #3 was hurt and tried to play but only carried 2 or 3 times at the beginning of the game before he had to come out. #1 went 70yds in the 3rd qtr to put Marion ahead for good 14-12.

I've watched quite a few of your games. You guys are great!!!

Are you one of the guys that does the FB broadcast?

You could actually make that same argument with ER. Neither teams schedule looks that great record wise.
