Congrats to the Eagles - good skill poistions, hard hitters.

 

Fitz Lassing just wows me more and more each week, He is all over the field on O and D, and he had a laser spiral punt that went 60 yards in the air tonight. He may be MBA's best all-round player this decade.

 

I'm not even going to try to guess the brackets until this time next week.

 

 

What was your take on the kicking game, RRR? I have not been able to keep up with MBA so much this year, but I did remember your kicker as being spectacular in years past. Did he have an off night? Is he a senior this year?

Capable of great things, but inconsistent. He's cursed with having such a great sophomore year on such a great team, and he's just never really achieved on that level since. In fairness, neither has his surrounding cast. One of his misses tonight was close, the other into what looked to be a pretty stiff wind.

That's too bad.... So, is he a senior this year then?

MBA is having a off year. But it will be temporary. They should turn that program around in a few years.

Fitz Lassing should be in the running for DII player of the year. He carries that team on both sides of the ball.

BA should have put up 12 more points with a missed FG, 2 extra pts, and throttled back the last drive to run clock out. BA played with more enthusiam and had better athletes.

BA RB, Caro is a spark plug for this team and should run the ball 30 times a game.

BA seems to be hitting their stride as playoffs near.

They should be fired up to beat Coach Potter's old school, McCallie next week.

I have only seen Fitz Lassing play once when it was against Baylor. I was extremely impressed with him and everytime he was involved in a play....it was positive. He is one of the best all around players I have also seen this year. Is he a senior?

Can MBA shut out the emotional win against EHS and focus on BA??

Can BA come out and play to their potential agianst a familiar foe that usually has the upper hand in the playoffs??

 

I see it as a closer game than the regular season.

Who would have thought that the #3 seed would play the #4 seed for a chance to play in Cookville on a week night in front of 2000 fans.

I feel Ensworth overlooked MBA, hey i overlooked MBA and expected a game with Ensworth this week. But when we heard about MBA beating Ensworth, we cheered. Not that we think MBA is a push over oppenent, it is that, well to state the unfortunate and immature truth, we really really dont like MBA. I visited both BA and MBA in preparing to choose my middle school and high school education, and they both flat out told me that they did not like each other (one school was a little more explicit than the other). we itch at the oppurtunity to exact revenge for the past two years. expect to see both teams to come out and give it their heart, mind, and body. Emotion lasts for 4 plays at most, then it comes down to who has prepared more.

 

Physically, i give the advantage to BA (i am trying not to be partial, Lassing is a monster and hits like a train, i should know from first hand experience, BA has too much speed)

 

prediction-BA=28

MBA=16 (1 touchdown, 3 FG's)

I think its fair to throw out the previous meeting this year (check out what happened in '02 and '03). Secondly, who of us would have said MBA would have beaten ensworth? Not many. Now consider that BA could be one of the fastest teams in the state, and MBA has a porous run defense. However, it seems that a quarterback change has sparked life in the MBA offense. Lassing is monster. If MBA keeps the turnovers low, and the groundgame solid then it could go either way. In past years teams could make BA's qb beat them with his arm, but i believe this could be the first year he can. Eight men in the box is not an option against BA anymore. If i was MBA would pressure Nelson and contain contain contain. On the other hand, BA needs to get to the outside with their backs and live on the edge, literally. With defense BA should keep eight men close to the line and stuff their run.

 

Prediction- BA: 24 MBA: 20

The MBA defense just did a pretty good job against the best rushing offense in the division, but they have been inconsistent, so it'll depend on which defense shows up. I think some key injuries have contributed to the inconsistency, but injuries are part of the game. I thought the MBA D did a good job in the first match-up for the most part, but there were 2 or 3 big plays that really won the game for BA. Should be a great game on Friday. I hope the Big Red comes out like they did last week.

MBA's defense did a great job against a very high powered rushing offense. Despite this, I predict that BA will get their points. The thing that makes things close is MBA's improved and, no doubt, still improving quarterback play to go with their already good rushing game. I think it is pretty certain that MBA will score more points than last time.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
