numbers 1 and 10 for Dresden seemed like the heart and soul of the whole team. The entire team played well, but there were moments when some of them got down. 1 and 10 never stopped. I was impressed. At the end of the game, there was still a lot of white showing on most of the Dresden jerseys, but not those two. Their jerseys were so muddy they almost looked like they were wearing Fayetteville's jerseys.

I mean, in an ideal situation.....yes. That's how this playoff system works. In theory, each team should be a tougher opponent than the week before. Last week was the toughest test in MASE's schedule until this week. If they get past Peabody, then next week's opponent will be even tougher....meaning next week you will see posts that say "This will be MASE's toughest test!"

ever been to a college ball game in person?

Red Bank is still in the playoffs, and so is Lewis Co. Upperman made it to round two, put out by the only team other than Fayetteville to give Red Bank a regular season loss. As far as "running up the scores".....I'm not seeing your point. How is Fayetteville any more classless than McKenzie for their scores? In fact, McKenzie's average game is 48.2 to 7.8 while Fayetteville's is 48.7 to 11.8...and against a tougher schedule.

and the rivalry. i've said it so many times before....the emotions going into the City vs MC games are always intense, and no matter what, MC puts more points on City than any other game in the season.

How many different posts are we going to bring up the City vs Lincoln Co debate? This is ridiculous. The original post is about a game that doesn't involve either and has already been played.

Coming from a guy who created a 3rd post about TSSAA classes and filled the body with a whopping "lol"

Fayetteville 14 Dresden 3 halftime

give 'em heck, Falcons. it'll probably be one of the tougher games you've had this season, but I sincerely hope you pull it off.

about 6 or 7 of the starters were out against Gordonsville. and yes, a couple seniors transferred to City, sat out the whole regular season, and started the first round of the playoffs.

thank you for making the effort

I think we're missing the point of this post and forum. It has devolved into politics, and it seems like the argument is between people in the same community. Let's focus on the boys and the game coming up this Friday instead of telling them the system that put them in place to win is wrong.

there's a lot of division and disrespect *in the community* against the City high school. just in the last couple of weeks, people on social media have been trashing the football team because they "don't play any good teams."

Lincoln County has been terrible in recent memory. Lincoln County has been terrible and/or declining since 2005, before the city system opened the high school, and even before 2005 only had 3 or 4 good years. It hasn't been consistently relevant since the 90s. Beyond that, this current group of juniors and seniors at City has been playing together in the city school system since grade school

You're right, upsets happen all the time. I'm just saying, Dresden's best chance at an upset is to score at least 30 because I don't think they'll hold Fayetteville to less than that. Fayetteville City High School has been around for about 10 years this time; it was previously open and shut down a couple decades ago, consolidating all of Lincoln County high school students into one high school. Kids in the city school system didn't have a choice. The city school system decided to open the doors on their high school again as the county high school started to get over crowded. As far as the size of the roster - Fayetteville High School was borderline 1A/2A by like 10 at last reclassification and went over by 5 to 10 this time I think.

My bad, it might not have been McKenzie posters specifically

Pretty sure there were a lot of McKenzie posters saying the same about us earlier this season, refusing to think other teams could also improve from last year. Don't get me wrong, I think McKenzie is going to handle business with Moore Co, and when Fayetteville comes on Nov 18 they're going to be facing off against a fully dialed in 12-0 McKenzie still feeling the bruises from their State loss last year, but I think a 12-0 Fayetteville hungry for revenge is good enough to give them more than just a run for their money. And before you start talking about Fayetteville only scoring 8 last year, they held McKenzie to 14 (the least they scored all season), effectively shut down their stud RB, and gave them their closest game tied with Peabody.

@rlh just a heads up, you didn't make a pick for the Lewis Co vs Adamsville

Class 1A QUAD 1 Cloudland vs Oliver Spgs Coalfield vs Unaka QUAD 2 SP vs Gordonsville* Clay Co vs Whitwell QUAD 3 Fayetteville vs Dresden McKenzie vs Moore Co QUAD 4 Peabody vs BTW MASE vs Lake Co** Class 2A QUAD 1 Hampton vs Monterey York Institute vs South Greene QUAD 2 Tyner vs Westmoreland East Robertson vs Bledsoe Co QUAD 3 Mt Pleasant vs DC Riverside Lewis Co vs Adamsville QUAD 4 Westview vs Union City Fairley vs Huntingdon * pulling for SP, but I think they're going to be upset. I hope they're not ** pulling for Lake Co, and I think it'll be a close game, but MASE will come out on top. Hope I'm wrong.

you realize no one has held city to less than 29 all season? and that was a 4A team still playing in the playoffs.

I might be wrong, but I think he was legit asking for information.....like what kind of running back is he?

Not on topic, but...I'd still be concerned about the East's 3 TD "underdog" that makes it to Chatt. Pretty sure S Pitt was in that chair last year. On topic, good post. The best football player might not win the award. And unfortunately, we get upset, and we can rant on this board but we shouldn't be attacking the kids or each other. We didn't vote.

Region 5 has a .500 total outside region record. Fayetteville is 4-0 outside region 5, with all their out of region games being from higher classifications that have a combined record of 21-11, and 2 of them are in the 4A playoffs and 1 in 2A playoffs. Moore Co. is 4-0 outside region 5. Eagleville is 2-2 outside the region, with losses to Gordonsville and Forrest. Wayne Co is 3-1 outside region 5, with their loss coming from Middle Tennessee Christian. I've done my homework. Show me the numbers that prove this is worse than other regions to make this region a "powder puff area". I'll wait.

Which of the other three are you saying is undeserving?
