You are correct. A key injury to the best player can also take a team out of the running at the 1A and 2A level.

 Yep Grace losing Inman was a big blow to them, big part of their team on both sides of the ball.

Ross Factor

It will be strange not seeing Zeman running over people on Friday nights. He did it for 3 years. I am confident that MC will field a very good team but #1 can't be replaced. The absence of #66 will be evident too. Talking to Coach Ross Saturday night he said this year's team will be faster, stronger and more physical than last year's. The one thing he said that really caught me off guard was that this year's team will be in better shape. MC was in exceptional shape last year.

Very evident for our Pirates this year!!

No offense, but the pirates were a whole lot more than just fitz away from competing this past year

not in 1A. Plus had he not injured his knee on the cut to the endzone at the 2 yard line, he scores against Boyd and SP wins. 1 player makes a big difference in 1A and sometimes in 2A. You will see the loss of Zemen next year. I don't think as much on offense as you will on defense. Most of the tackles in the State game might have been 20 yards down the field, but they were made by him because he never gave up on the play. Your offense will find someone to carry the load.

None taken, but he wasn't the only injury. But him not being on the field made a difference in the playoffs.

SP was led by Fitz last season. If Fitz doesn't get hurt they beat Copper Basin and Monterey the next week. He made a huge difference. We would have still been beaten soundly by Marion either way. Now, take Zemen off that team last season and Marion isn't in Cookeville. One really good player makes a huge difference.
