Based on schedule and who they had returning from last year, I expected 7-3 or at worse 6-4 for SM. I don't see anything better than 3-7 now at best. They lost three key starters to transfer and Coach Boeck and 4 other skill kids to injuries. Not having 6 or 7 good players on the field is tough in 3-A football. They do play hard, especially Gauthier, menzel, chandler, Teal and Weigert .

Ain't much good I can say about tonight. Congratulations to the Pioneers. They obviously wanted it more and scored 35 unanswered points after falling behind by 10. They have several talented athletes and good team speed. If they keep playing like they did tonight, improve every week, and clean up some sloppy mistakes, they'll give the leprechauns a tough game.

 

As for my Eagles, the wheels just fell off late in the 2nd quarter. For the first 20 minutes, they dominated. Some poor execution on offense and defense, and some questionable play calling let East Ridge get a lead going into halftime. Big Mo took over at that point and it was downhill from there. Turnovers killed us. Hope the guys can keep their heads up and keep playing hard, but it's going to be a hard season.

 

At least Signal fans should be used to some strange fake punt attempts. :huh:

 

ER gave us a hand full last year;it was one of those games where we just could not do anything right and they almost took advantage of it.....we are the ones that have to clean up mistakes...maybe 150 yds in penalties; those CCS alum that were refin gave us some real doozies...most of the penalties were errs for sure....we are not a technallly disciplined team right now...not sure whos to blame for that...youth, sr. leadership or what....but it will cost us games before it said and done

 

not gonna be another good week for your North Red Bank Mountain Eaglets against Tyner either; Booger thinkin......your gonna see why the bearded man has them back on top of the heap and why they beat us....would could have won the game if not for very questionable play callin in OT; but they are real good with those 20 + seniors....and BIG

 

Booger just sayin :mrgreen:

It's no surprise really. Those boys are giving it all they have but this is a very different SM team with few go-to options on offense. Signal has some talented guys on D and stout lineman but they just get worn down and they really struggle defending in space against speed. Have to feel for their boys a little. How many more injuries will they have?

The guys that are left are giving it all they have, and I'm proud of them. With what we've lost and the way we've had to shift players around, we've got lots of guys playing positions they've never played in their life. It is what it is. We've just got to keep working hard and take it one week at a time.

    • That wasn't you working that camera and nfhsnetwork scoreboard at Eagleville was it?   Nfhsnetwork had Oakdale as the home team and therefore the wrong scoring.      
    • SP 2-1 vs Eagleville 2-0. McKenzie 2-1 vs Univ. School 2-0. Semifinals are set.  Uphill climb for us. Mt. Everest you might say. Go Pirates!!
    • We’ll see, rooting for y’all.
    • Told Willoughby is leaving. Fayetteville is on a downward spiral but there is no “y’all”. I’m just keeping it real. 
    • I haven’t gassed anyone up that wasn’t already gassed up kinfolk. Marion has been named in paper and even their coach been on radio and twitter pumping them up last couple years.  22 many thought they had something for Tyner until they didn’t. These kinfolks on here can throw water on it all they want but expectations have been high the last few years. This year is no different. Got two kids in the boat and a couple more allegedly coming. Marion pushing all chips in for 2024. You boys fooling if you don’t think they are a major threat. New lineman has a lot of offers so the person saying he is just “big” doesn’t know football. I’m just keeping it real Tyner, East Ham, CCS, Bradley Central, Ooltewah, Red Bank, Marion, South Pitt. If there is a good team in Chatt I am a fan. Im just keeping it real
