Picks For State Title (5a)


Recommended Posts

I 'love' the exclude R'dale part of this thread! Folks have been trying to do that for the last 6 years. :lol:

 

'If' it was not R'dale there, it would be Oak Ridge and Brentwood. Then again that would NOT totally exclude R'dale though as Coach Crawford was an assistant coach there for a few years. :thumb:

 

That 'R'dale' thing tends to bite you no matter what or where. :lol:

 

a lot of people seem to be picking ravenwood to lose to brentwood... which id ont know why... what is gonna win this game is heart and pride and if they do meet in the playoffs RHS has the home game. That should matter

Because Coach Crawford does NOT make the same mistakes twice. Count on his defense being tougher when it comes to the playoffs. Also Brentwood and Coach Crawford have the playoff experience that Ravenwood lacks.

 

For example look at Coach Crawford's FIRST year at Brentwood. He KNEW everything that R'dale would throw at him and used it to bring the gold home.

 

While Ravenwood has had a great year, I don't see them playing for the gold ball this year.

The key factor I think you miss here is that Ravenwood has much better athletes overall than Brentwood. Much better. If it comes to the two of them playing each other, the Raptors win it.

Heck, virtually every team in Region 6 has better athletes across the board. Superior, game tested coaching staffs, is what makes the difference for them.

 

Again, Rector has put all of his money on the Red number at the craps table and is rolling the dice for this year. All of the expectations and all of the pressure sit squarley on their shoulders. We'll see how they handle it. If he doesn't make it now, then it will be a major choke job-and the Raptors last chance for sometime to come.

    • Looks like South Pittsburg added some more talent!  
    • So much talk about an investigation about student record manipulation and then everything has went silent. Has anyone heard how the investigation is going?
    • Basically what you're saying is schools can basically bully students around and get away with it because they are protected. I agree to a certain extent but when schools decisions to keep knuckleheads on staff starts costing kids careers and a college education there is a problem. Our school system last week had a teacher supposedly push a kid and the parents went to the law and the teacher is suspended. So I wouldn't say that they can just do what they want without liability. This case don't pass the smell test because the coach had already been fired before and she got fired after a year on the job. Sounds like the student was right in this case on the outside looking in because the coach gets fired after one year. How many coaches get fired after one year?? Not many. 
    • Problem with DB football goes beyond coaching. Like Waco said. Thr band is the main focus of their community and school. They have the resources to be a championship level team. Guarantee Ballard or Witten could have them nationally relevant at some point but everyone down to peewee would have to buy in and at DB we all know that would never happen.
