Where is allaboutsports?

 

I still can't understand last week with DL. If the injuries are that deep it will be a short playoff season for MC.

 

If both teams are up to par.......and this is a rarity for me as well(allaboutsports)....I would like to see MC come out ahead of GC after the way GC tried to run it up on us at the end.

 

I know one thing MC doesn't like to travel to JSS....something about water problems. Besides a 6 hr busride for GC to JSS may make them a little more humble.

Marshall Co. is cursed against Jackson South Side in the postseason. Look at the 2000 & 2001 games between those two teams. Marshall won the region title both of those years and lost to JSS teams that were underdogs against them. Ray Hightower played his final high school football game against JSS. Will Don'ta possibly be next????

 

Giles Co. ended Jackson South Side's dream season last year in Jackson in the second round of the postseason. With JSS playing a home in that potential matchup there will be a lot of motivation on the Hawks side as far as the REVENGE factor goes.

 

 

Both of these teams would much rather play home games in the playoffs against Bolivar Central. That's no slap in the face to Bolivar at all but a trip to Jackson would be a frightening thing for either of these teams. TRUST ME!!!

I really don't know what to make of this game either....I can honestly see this game playing out in about every scenario possible. Close game that could go either way, or a blowout either way. Several questions for both teams, especially Marshall Co.

How will they respond after the throttling DL gave them? How fragile is their psyche? Do they still believe in themselves?

How healthy are Hightower and O'neal?

How will the Tiger skill players match up with guys have have just as much speed as them?

 

After seeing GC at the Pigskin Preview, I thought they looked great. Their quarterback really looked like the real deal, and the rest of the team looked really strong. But, for whatever reason, they have struggled at times this year. Getting drilled by the same Columbia team that MC handled 14-3??? I don't know...

BUT we know that they have the ATHLETES.....

 

Hoping for a great game!!

 

Go Tigers!!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
