the worst thing about these message boards is that a person is able to rip someone for their opinion and maintain their anonymity by using a pseudonym. If you want to criticize someone then have courtesy of using your real name so that the person you addressing knows who they are speaking with. Croz gave you that courtesy.

Most of the guys mentioned on here are going nowhere. I think he's done an incredible job at DC considering where the program was when he took it over and where he's got it to. If I were looking for a coach he'd have to tell me he wasn't interested.

I'd give Steve Trapp a call.

We are hoping that Gordonsville enters the game next week in the same manner that Greenback approached our game on Friday night. I feel that Greenback's seniors did not play to a level that would normally be expected from senior players. Anyone that may still be underestimating Coalfield's football team should probably reevaluate their thinking regarding said football team. We will be ready to perform at our highest level for the entire game Friday night. I think thats close.

I stood on a chair the whole game and I was in the pressbox.

I'm not very familiar with the west quads, but I've said all along that the three best teams could be Gordonsville, SP, and Greenback. I don't know who will meet who but I do believe that Gordonsville needs to worry about South Pitt right now and nothing else.

no but the winner of this quad will meet GB in the semis.

Didn't pull anything out of the air. Just going by what I saw from last years eagleville team and this years MC team. You stated that MC was better than some of those. Who are you talking about? Who did you see play that you can compare MC to? Is MC better than Trousdale? No. Westmoreland? No. Watertown? That would probably be a good game.

MC would finish no better than 4th or 5th in region 4 with at least 3 or 4 losses. After seeing them Friday night, I'm not sure they are better than Eagleville was last year. Whoever wins in week 2 at Gordonsville will not be tested again until the semifinals. Greenback will give somebody a ballgame in week 4.

no

I went for the same reason. Came away from it wondering how they would do in our region and did MC have their best showing tonight?

TT, were you at the game?

BS!

You know when.

I would too. We probably woulda had a better chance in 2A. I take that back. We probably would have gotten beat by Boyd Buchanan too.

nothing wrong with riding on a fancy bus. wish we had one. I think you also find out exactly who is the better team when you play each other only one time each year. If both teams win out one will be region champions and the other won't. If they played again in the playoffs, you might win and be able to say you were the better team. But if my aunt were a man she would be my uncle.

went home pretty quick on that fancy bus friday night.

Like SC, Gordonsville has no control over their region schedule. However, I would say that SC and Westmoreland as non-region competition rates better than White Co and Warren Co. I wouldn't be L'ng my A off if I were you, Gordonsville playing TC and FC in their Region schedule every year prepares them quite well for the playoffs. And I wasn't taking shots at SC, just answering your questions.

ANSWERS 1. To play better competition. 2. See #1. 3. Because SC went 10-0 in the regular season and lost in the first round of the playoffs. 4. Yes 5. a. If they had lost 2 games they would be 8-2. b. They haven't been 5-7 in several years. c. Yes it would have a little less juice. 6. I don't recall reading about dropping Macon Co. but rather replacing teams like White Co. or Warren County on the schedule. 7. Most of the "ABC" schools are within an hour-hour and a half radius. They probably wouldnt' bring much less of a crowd than White Co, Warren Co, or Upperman brings. 8. If that's waht it takes to play the teams you need to play to get better, then yes. One last thing. In my opinion the difference in the game last night was the PC defense in the second half. they physically dominated and intimidated the SC O-line. As the second half progressed they grew more confident and as a result the SC offense could not really get going. the interception in the end zone was a killer and the first fumble was just gas on the fire for the PC defense.

I asked the same question last night. The only explanation I could come up with was that the hold on the the Gunner occured before the ball was actually kicked which means he was still a receiver at that point. That's the only explanation I could come up with. I thought it should have still been SC ball. The other officiating question I had was on the personal foul in OT. The flag came on first down but after the ball was set after the penalty marked off it was second down. It eventually didn't make any difference because G-ville scored on fourth down, but I thought it still should have been first down after the penalty.

Like I said.

All I can say is be careful what you wish for.

The teams you are bragging about shutting down are a combined 17 wins and 44 losses. None had a winning record. Only two made the playoffs, one as a #5, one as a #6.

That's the way I had it figured.
