Mustang Fever

Meigs County High School has no seniors on the team and finished with a much improved 24-13 record this season. Most games started 5 freshmen and 3 sophomores. Will have only 2 seniors next year and 3 talented freshmen will be coming from the middle school. Much brighter future in Decatur for the next few years.

Before you Marion folks get to bashing too hard on the Meigs folks let me just say that ALL of the folks on here who were saying Meigs was gonna beat you were from Central and Polk. Not a Meigs fan said a word. Just keep that in mind. Congrats Marion on a good win.

Gotta love the comic relief. Now that Polk has been eliminated and can't bash their upcoming opponent they've decided to bash on each other. LUV IT !!!

Congratulations Meigs......

This district needs to adopt some bylaws BAD......so a couple of teams can't just do what they want....

Did the coach stay around for the entire tourney this time.........

In district 5AA's preseason meeting it was determined that the tourney would be double elim after the 8 vs 9 playin game and the entire tourney would be played at Tyner May 3-5. At the meeting last Wed. to plan out the tourney Boyd, Sweetwater, Central and Polk changed this to the higher seed will host the first round and the first round will be single elim. Meigs, Sequoyah and Tellico still wanted double elim and play the thing at Tyner as planned. Tyner and Brainerd could care less and didn't vote either way so the single elim higher seed host was adopted even though the Tyner fields are reserved. What I would like to know is why this district has a preseason meeting if what is voted in is not what is done? My guess is the teams with one pitcher only want to drag this thing out as long as possible.

Pretty sure that Boyd and McMinn Central are tied atop the 5AA standings with one district loss each. Central beat Boyd which would give the title to Central if they end up tied.

Just a little correction for you so you look like you know a little about what you talk about. Meigs went to the state tourney 4 yrs ago under the direction of Coach Baker. They definately did not have the talent to go but went anyway. The football Tigers of which you speak have made the playoffs every season but 2 since 1990. They didn't always have the talent but went anyway.

Before you head back to class a little info for you. The first tiebreaker is head to head which would leave Meigs and Central still tied. The second tie breaker is run differential head to head, which would give the title to Meigs, assuming they end up tied with Central. If they were to end up tied with Polk, the title would go to Polk for the same reasons. Since Polk apparently lost to Central, it is unlikely Meigs and Polk would end up tied. NOW......get back to class.

Appears to me that this district is the most evenly matched in a long time. I think that 5 or 6 teams have a chance to finish in the top 4. Polk has a very good team and had chances to beat both Sweetwater and Boyd. Central seems to be rounding into form after struggling at the beginning and Tellico is MUCH improved and can beat anybody on a given day. Sequoyah is also a very dangerous team if you overlook them. Even Brainerd seems to be competitive this year as I noticed that Boyd just beat them by a 3-2 score. Should be a very intense and competitive district tourney.

Central SHOULD have a good team since all of their starters returned but so far they have not looked near as focused since their coaching change.

So far it looks as though this district is more evenly balanced than ever before. Boyd is not going to just run over folks this year and I would definately have Sweetwater as the favorite. Boyd beat Meigs Tuesday 3-0 and 2 of their runs were unearned. Does anyone know who won the Sweetwater-Boyd game yesterday? That game should have a major bearing on who comes out on top.

Sounds like somebody needs to either take a pill or go buy themselves a box of kleenex!

It is kind of amazing that Sale Creek has such a competitive team considering how small of a school they have. Hats off to their coaches and to their players, they do a tremendous job.
