i think when classifying by enrollment, they only take the schools that participate in the sport. which is why there are currently more classifications for football than baseball, soccer, or girls' soccer. i think. that might make too much sense, though.

they probably haven't decided how they want to do it yet

scrambling QBs, especially ones with O-lines can't hold the D-line, are more likely to get hurt. that kid played his entire heart and soul out in that game. i saw him walking to the bus after; he looked rough. he's an awesome athlete, but he can't carry that team all season.

look back at the last 4 MC/Fayetteville games in the last 3 seasons. it doesn't matter how good fayetteville is, MC *always* puts more points on fayetteville than anyone else on the schedule. last year MC put more points on them than Red Bank did, and that was fayetteville's only regular season loss. it's a rivalry game, emotions run high and anything can happen, and moore county seemed to hit their stride.

penalties have been hurting this team for two years now. this season has been different so far...the boys play more disciplined, more maturely

Moore County has put more points up against Fayetteville than any other opponent in the 3 meetings over the last two seasons (maybe more, I don't know what the *on-field* score was in 2019) regardless of how well Fayetteville did the rest of the season. my gut says a 42-14 win for Fayetteville but I can easily see the Raiders scoring 21 to 24 points.

also, a coaching change

I believe students can go to either school. there is no "zoning". however, there are some irritating, small print rules that I'm going to have to let someone else explain

enrollment, a lot of the kids are still going to the County HS. and City will probably move up a classification next year, whenever TSSAA figures out what they're doing

you guys stuck close to peabody last week. was the game as good as the score indicates?

their discipline was on full display against Upperman last week

City was actually around *several* years ago and closed, sending all the kids to the county high school even though they'd been in the city school system through elementary and middle schools. Lincoln County's population started growing, the HS got a little too crowded, and there was a push to re-open the City high school, which happened...10 to 12 years ago? something like that. and before anyone says all of Lincoln County's talent went to City, Lincoln County was in a downward spiral long before the split. this group of boys at City is a special group, most have been playing together since peewee league, in the City school system.

calls for Fayetteville by 3, after the 2 pt home team advantage

not my point. i was implying that fayetteville doesn't have any "home refs" that would take their side

there are a lot of people complaining about the "home refs" in Fayetteville. little do you know, those "home refs" generally go against Fayetteville. literally every game, for the last two years and going into this season.

score?

I'm not going to say he didn't. But he wasn't running all over our defense like he was Peabody's. Our offense lost the game, not our defense.

Check his stats against City last week...

i've wondered that myself, especially when they line up in wildcat. let 7 take the snap and hand it off to 1 or 3, then clear the way

"rivalries" usually imply something that's lasted longer than 2 to 3 years.

I love it when people use numbers to make their argument

honestly, i was kinda hoping City would have a shot at breaking Peabody's ridiculous win streak. now that it's broken....i'll pull for them against whatever team they face, one Friday at a time

from what i've seen, peabody's starters don't usually play the full game anyway. i understand the ppg is skewed because in games like that the starters come off, but that just adds more evidence to the point i was trying to make: how do some of these people say McKeznie, Peabody, and Fayetteville defenses are bad?

i've seen a couple posts saying neither team has a good defense. just going by points alone, both teams hold opponents to an average 12 ppg. I'm a lot more familiar with Fayetteville and know that their first string defense has shut out a couple teams, and that there have been a couple more games that had the opponents scoring only when either the second string defense or when the Tiger offense was on the field. is there something i'm missing? for reference: Gordonsville allows 10.5 Peabody 12.3 Cland 14.1 S Pitt 13.8 Clay 12.4 Coalfield 11.8 Cornersville 10.5 Lake Co 17.3 Dresden 15.7

I haven't ever seen many Eagle fans on here
