Gordonsville v. South Pitt; no upsets here, no matter who wins

You beat me to that one

Steve Spurrier:)

Like some Hendersonville Christian guys play football for RBS, and some guys from Mt. Juliet Christian bowl for MJ, etc..... And oh sorry, I forgot, (cover your nerves) some guys from USJ play football for Milan........

Then how do you know it's the longest running?.......just wondering

I see FC relinquished their #1 spot........mmmmm, interesting.......

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA!!!!!!

It's "alec" there Captain Correction

It's "ET PHONE home"; don't misquote movie lines

Guys, if TSSAA ends up making a rule on this, let me assure you that it will be a bad one that everyone will hate. I believe the rule is that if both coaches consent, the quarters can be shortened. Even a forfeit. I am even in favor of letting the clock run IF BOTH coaches consent, although that would cut down the playing time for the younger players on both sides who work hard in practive every day just like the starters. Stop passing, take time in between plays, play the 2nd and 3rd string (if you have one), even play players out of position to have a little fun. But coaches instructing players to miss blocks or tackles, not play 100%, call the wrong plays or wrong defenses on purpose, punting on 1st down; things like that have been mentioned and in my opinion are silly. If the coach who's getting throttled wants to shorten the game, he can ask for it, and 99.99% of the time, the other coach will consent. And I'm with KevB1990; I've seen a lot of high school football and it's very rare where a coach PURPOSEFULLY runs up the score.

I really think you missed the whole purpose of a message board.... Give it a chance, it might be fun

No excuse for it whatsoever. Make them fix it and/or pay for it, whichever applies. Many would disagree, but I think public embarrassment is in order. Tell everybody who it was when you catch them. That should deter things.....But that's probably illegal by now, so what do I know....

I think I missed something..... Joe Montana; 300lb linebacker.......Someone please tell me that Joe Montana played linebacker in high school or something......???? Forgive my ignorance

TC by double digits

I agree with Red and Wayne about LA! What a ride! And by the way, does anybody know where Cates ended up? Did he get a scholarship? I know he wasn't getting very many looks, but he deserved a scholarship.

South Pitt in a close one

Ooooo....that sounds like a fun schedule......

FC by double digits. But maybe closer than some expect......

I'll second the respect factor for RBS. They lose and lose and lose. Not to mention the fact that they have no support from their student body. But they keep fielding a team. Their coaches and players are to be commended. And I think a big reason why you don't see them on here whining is because men with the kind of character that doesn't quit when things aren't going well, and don't just play to get a nice shiny ring (althought there's nothing wrong with nice shiny rings; just ask some TC players ), also have the sense to understand that no one is purposely running the score up on them.

You're sick......

That is true. Sadly enough, when teams get down by 20 or so, many just lay down. That should NEVER happen! Look what Michigan St. did last week........But it does happen. And you're right. TC was that good last year, and a lot of other years. As well as some other teams were just that much better than their opponent; they couldn't help it. I'm not the FC fan by any stretch, but I'm glad they haven't come up against this nearly as much as TC did last year (of course they haven't beaten people quite like TC did last year.....). But nobody should have to deal with this If (big IF) they are clearly making an effort to not run up the score. But it's crazy to expect coaches to call the wrong plays or defenses on purpose, or tell their kids to miss blocks or tackles, or even in my opinion punt on first down.

I have a few corrections to make: 1. TC never had 2A enrollment 2. I hope TC puts up 191 on these teams I agree. I think people underestimate really how bad RBS is year in and year out.

Could be; like I said I just saw the one game. And I know players do change/improve a lot from year to year, especially in high school, so.....

I was actually refering to the fact that there is no 7A ball in Tennessee........cheap joke, I know.....region 7........ah forget it....LOL!

I think you got it FCSpoe. I'm not hating on Thompson, but this year really hasn't panned out for Watertown. Early on it looked like it might've been different, but now.......And you also had a good point about Satterfield (among others). I would also like to take this opportunity to say that TC was very close to a 4 seed, and that caused me to think about how for winning your region, you GET to play TC as a reward! HA! I don't think they're done by any means, and I think other people are starting to realize this as well.......
