We had several starters quarantined last year when we were scheduled to play Coalfield. We were willing to play with what we had available. Coalfield didn't want to chance it as they jad some region games coming up, but we were willing to play.

Not sure about the coach, but it's my understanding that OS called an cancelled. Evidently they have sent a bunch home today.

Game cancelled due to covid.

Sweep what under what rug?

It has been said on here already, but a lot of it had to do with Maynard. Whether you like him or not, he was a good coach. If I recall correctly, he took SC to the semis twice. He also took Upperman to the semis in 96, and this was long before Upperman was what it is now. Since then, some things I heard that went on, or didn't go on, under Dickerson and Murray were headscratchers to me, but the last several years, the teams have been talented but they lacked fire. I believe they have that now. I think if Dyer is given time, he will do well there.

Sounds about right.

So, I've seen some things said that OS lost a bunch right before the season. What happened?

Here is Sonny Moore's Top 10 in 1A. It will get more accurate as the season goes on, but I think it's pretty close now. As most have been saying, there's a gap between the top 4 and the rest. FWIW, Gordonsville is scheduled to play 3 of the teams in this list. 23 PEABODY 2 0 0 126.50 137.07 51 FAYETTEVILLE 2 0 0 117.12 128.97 55 SOUTH PITTSBURG 1 1 0 96.24 128.20 70 McKENZIE 2 0 0 103.67 125.02 125 COALFIELD 2 0 0 87.99 114.27 129 GORDONSVILLE 2 0 0 111.83 113.73 166 CLAY COUNTY 2 0 0 88.36 106.51 171 GREENBACK 0 2 0 107.79 105.96 173 EAGLEVILLE 1 1 0 97.97 105.87 176 CORNERSVILLE 2 0 0 99.80 105.35

I'm just looking forward to seeing a different team.

As far as I know, this is the first time these two teams have played, ever. I look forward to seeing a new team. We have a few non-region games to play before the region games and this is one of them. I'm thinking some more kids will step up to give some other guys time to heal and be ready to play.

I'll be honest. I didn't think Gville would win. I thought the defense would play well, but we struggled to run the ball last week. Then, we lost 2 starters on the O-line and the 1st backup. However, some kids stepped up tremendously. Some freshmen made plays on the line on both sides of the ball, and other underclassmen made plays. We played ALOT of kids. I'm going to go back and see how many, but I would say we played at least 30. That says something when you only have 4 seniors dressed.

Gville wins.

Terrible spot... that was big.

I really want to see the Big Blue win this one, but it's going to be tough. We'll have some key players out, but you play with what you got. Beside that we only have 5 seniors. But, I still think we can win, but it will be tough. The comment was made that we won't have a chance for another 3-4 years. I promise that's wrong. If we don't win this year, we will next year. But that's next year. Too many have already been look8ng to next year since that group were 8th graders.

Not sure. Eye of the Tiger is typically what we come out to.

I think Gville is top 10, but it's hard to guage exactly where they are as they are young but experienced. We only have 4 seniors that start. The majority of starters are juniors.

Top 3 is correct. The rest is hard to tell, as it is still early and most of the guys in the AP are only truly familiar with one or two of these teams.

They are HUGE up front. They have one of the better RBs that they've had in the last few years. And, their QB and Wrs are as they are usually.

Yes

It will be a good game, but Dekalb will win. Carthage will keep it close for a bit, then DC will pull away.

You catch on quick. However, in the late 90s, the place would be even more packed, especially when playing Carthage and Trousdale. Trousdale would be the last game of the season with the region championship on the line.

Actually, the ref on the sidelines didn't see it as he was turned away running to the goal line. I can't speak for the others. Regardless, you act like refs never miss calls or let things slide. I know for a fact that there were things Carthage players did that the refs let go, but everyone is harping on one taunt by a Gville player. It was uncalled for,and I hope he learns and doesn't do it again, but I guarantee there were others from the other side. Everyone acts like Carthage players did absolutely nothing like that, but I can promise you, they, and some of the coaches, did. I won't go into specifics on here, but it happened.

If the ref didn't see it, it didn't happen.
