South Pittsburg - MT.Pleasant - Eagleville

[volhead]

What starters is S.P. returning from last year i know that big WR robinson signed with tn tech. they had a preyy good O.L and a good QB also last year who is back?

 

They are argueably the best coached team in the vally also, Vic Grider is a keeper!

good coaching? A huge fight broke out, and the player who caused it only sat out two plays and was back on the field. Any coaching at any level in any sport that allows that is unacceptable. They may be good with x's and o's, but they have no discipline.

goforthegoal, you put reasonable and sometimes accurate post on here, but you are off with Marco. You had a post on here not to long ago about how this Jo Jo Vestal kid was the next greatest Lb in the state (1A). Where was he on Marco's big run. And on this pass Marco threw, who was it that had him in the backfield and whiffed when Marco sidestepped him to throw the bomb to his reciever. I'm not raggin on Eagleville, they have come a long way in four years. They are just a (small) step behind SP and MP. And let me ask another question. Why when the 2s were playing yall had your first string back in there? When MP fans say good things about Marco it isnt a rip on SP or Eagleville, but it was just obvious he is an athlete playing at a higher level of athletisim then anyone on the field this past Friday.

What you need to do is get your story straight. When Marco threw that long bomb to his reciever (which was underthrown) Eagleville wasnt even playing so it is kinda hard for anyone to do something about someone else when they arent even playing. And about the run well lets see Marco ran to the outside away from him and jojo at the time had a pulled groin which slowed him down. If you watched the south pittsburg game jojo came out half way through the game.

Ohh yea you are right the td pass was against SP. Im sorry. Marco just touched the ball 4-5 times and had two huge plays so I kind of got things mixed up. Thanks for the correction. Yes the pass was a little underthrown but he was rolling to his left avoding a sack and still threw 40+ yards to a reciever that did a good job adjusting the ball. Look the bottom line is this, there were a lot of good players out on that scrimmage field. The best in my opinion was Marco. Anybody there will tell you this. When nominations come up for Mr. Football I'll guarantee you his name will be there.

Have you ever played football? Fights are common in scrimmage atmosphere.

Murder and stealing is common nowdays but does that make it right? The nature of the sport is aggressive, it is the coaches job to keep it between the whistles. When it escalades to what it did in that scrimmage then consequenses should be distributed.

Excuses for Jo Jo having a pulled groin is an EXCUSE. If he was 100% there is still no way he will catch and tackle Marco. He should have never been in there as late as he was. I will take Marco over Jo Jo any time any place, who wouldn't?

 

Cutting the ball to the outside must have been were the hole was. Looked like he hit the hole well. 6 points is 6 points now matter how you get it.

 

Jo Jo maybe all-state playing aganist Chapel Hill, McEwen And Cascade. He is not aganist the big boys. Jo Jo on a few offensive plays ducked under the SP defense from getting licked. What was up with that?

 

I said it before if anyone who has seen Marco on the field I would say 85% or more will tell you that he is the real deal.

 

I could see a repeat of the last time MP & Eagleville played if it was to happen.

 

One more thing, In the workouts what was the deal when Marco went in on defense and the Eagleville coaches were blowing the whistles when Marco was about to lower the boom on the Eagleville players? You think he can run he can also lay a lick on you too.

Haha you crack me up. First off I wasnt making excuses for him I was just making a point, and second in the all-state you dont just do it in the region it is ALL-STATE. Third SP always went after the knees and jojo doesnt shy away from contact so if he did it was b/c it would be stupid to hurt your knees in a scrimmage. And fourth the coaches blew the whistle and we let up. If he can lay a lick then why didnt he.

I have said over and over yes he is a very good outstanding 1a runningback and yes baring any injury will be nominated for Mr. Football. I have said that all along but their are other runningbacks of his calibra. Yall act like he is a D1 prospect which he is'nt. He is a great 1a football player. Concerning Vestal yes I thinlk he will be a Mr. Football nominee as a linebacker which is a lineman when being considered for Mr. Football. I never compared him to Daily they play different positions. I talked to several people at the scrimmage and at the drills that were more impressed with the South Pittsburg rb than they were with Daily, so everyone that were at the scrimmage will not tell you that Daily looked better. One thing for sure time will tell. On another post their was a statement concerning the week schedule of Eagleville, if I remember correctly Mt. Pleasants schedule included the power houses of Zion and Cornersville.

[junglefever]

I agree Zion and Cornersville arent that tough. All regions have their weaker teams. I know MP use to be one LOL. But all has changed. Region 6 is tougher because of the stronger teams like Collinwood, Wayne Co., Huntland and every so often CA, when they have a good recruiting year. Region 5 is tough also, hey they represented in the semi final, not a Region 6 team. And to end, Marco is D1 material, remember this will just be his junior year. His size will be the only thing that keeps him from D1, not his talent. By no means am I comparing him to this guy, but Barry Sanders wasnt much bigger than Marco and looked what he did. All the bigger D1 schools stayed away because of size but Oklahoma St. took a gamble and it payed off.

 

One more thing. The back from SP, lets compare his stats to Marco at the end of the year and see whats what.
