No worries, happy to help!

City has consistently improved game over game since Moore County. On top of that, the rivalry between Moore Co and Fayetteville is only beaten by the rivalry between Huntland and Fayetteville. Emotions are always high going into the City vs Moore Co games every year, and every year over the past 4 (that's 5 games), Moore Co has put more points on City than any other team on City's schedule.

I might not have been clear enough...if so, I apologize. I was more addressing the "who has home field" question. Fayetteville hosts first two rounds. Round 1 is against South Fulton. Round 2 is against the winner of the Dresden/Eagleville game. Round 3 will be the winner of the Fayetteville/South Fulton/Dresden/Eagleville against whoever wins McKenzie/Wayne Co/Moore Co/McEwen games. Hope that helps.

First, this is a really well written post and it's well thought out. I appreciate that. Second, I half expected to see "Thank you for coming to my TED talk" at the end. Third, I like this idea a lot. I think this combined with opening round one of the playoffs with different region vs region matchups would be awesome.

there are literally grade school pictures of most of the boys together in their city school football gear.

Fayetteville has home field first two rounds. third round: if Moore County beats McEwen and McKenzie, Moore Co will play at Fayetteville round 3. if McKenzie wins out, it'll be Fayetteville at McKenzie first two rounds always go to the higher seed. after that, it's based on where in the bracket the fall and if it's an even or odd year. "In the third round and semifinals in even-numbered years the bottom team in each bracket shall be the host team" if two teams from the same region meet in the 3rd round (moore co beats mckenzie), the game is played at the higher seed's field (fayetteville). https://tssaasports.com/event/bracket.cfm?id=20220101

Fayetteville has been called for that twice this year in two separate games by separate officiating teams. Is it a new thing this year?

almost on the money

big changes in coaching staff, new QB that moves a lot better, different play style on offense that lets 5-7 guys touch the ball instead of 2. add that to the defense that held McKenzie to 14 points and their star RB to less than 75 yards (something i don't think anyone else did last year except maybe S Pitt) and has only improved over this season, and i think Fayetteville takes it this year.

City wins big, wins 4th regional championship in a row, finishes the regular season undefeated, and caps 4 years of being undefeated in region 5

My best stab at it... 1. Fayetteville 2. McKenzie 3. Peabody 4. Moore Co 5. S. Pitt 6. MASE 7. Clay Co 8. Gordonsville 9. Dresden 10. Lake Co. 11. Coalfield My personal opinion is that it gets a little fuzzy after 5 or 6. This is just for my own fun, though...we all know things are going to shake out however, and it can go off the rails real quick on any given day.

I feel like anyone who wants to troll Fayetteville knows that talking about recruits, transfers, and TSSAA investigations is a good way to get under their skin. It makes for an easy target.

especially when they put 59 on the O-line to make some holes

1. Head to head: If a team has beaten all the other teams that they are tied with for a playoff spot, that team is ranked above the others. This is the first tiebreaker used in any scenario. 2. Team with the greatest number of victories. 3. Team that plays the greatest number of teams that won 50 percent or more of their games. 4. Team that has the greatest number of wins over teams winning 50 percent or more of their games. 5. Team whose opponents have the most wins. 6. Team whose opponents have the fewest losses. 7. Coin flip. It is important to note when a tiebreaker is needed with three or more teams, if a tiebreaker rather than head to head is needed, once the first tiebreaker is determined, the next tiebreaker returns to head to head. Example: If there is a three-way tie and none of the three beat the other two, the next step is greatest number of victories. If that breaks that tie then it reverts back to head-to-head to break the two-way tie. from TSSAA rules. there's no "nod", but rather a coin flip if there is no way to break the tie by the standards above.

I'll make you a deal: you learn to spell, and I'll use correct capitalization.

i'm pretty sure he listed half of the schools who qualified for the playoffs. technically, he's not wrong. if they qualified for the 1st round, they're a "contender"....they just won't make it to the second.

your posts give me a headache to read. i'm sure it's intentional, maybe to be funny? it isn't.

Fayetteville's opponents have combined for 39 wins (60.9% average win). McKenzie's has 35 (56.1%). Peabody's has 32 (48.5%). MASE's opponents have a combined 21 wins, 12 from Mantachie and Halls. That's 24.8% wins average. The easiest (read: CUPCAKIEST) schedule in 1A this year. no disrespect to MASE, i'm sure they're good. but they're not one that should be talking about other people's schedules.

it's senior night on Tiger Hill! go show out, boys!

unfortunately, all this talk about MASE is reminding me of the conversations about Fayetteville around 2020....

they lost to Peabody and Lake Co, then a private school. who is the "average at best" you're referring to? don't get me wrong, i'm not saying halls is amazing, but i think it'll be a better measuring stick for MASE than the teams they've been playing.

@mrbigster is the one i can think of that specifically said he's going

i didn't see a unique post for this game. i won't be able to make it but i know some of the posters here are. can someone post updates here for those of us interested but can't make it?

they have to be looking at the schedule at least a little bit. i would assume the red bank game is what pushed fayetteville over mckenzie
