Haven't seeing y'all this year but I think you guys can hang.

We are A LOT like what you saw for two years. Defense stouter and passing game a little better

But run game not as good as in previous several years imo.

Can we take a moment to stop and appreciate that this is the Jackets 3rd straight quarter finals appearance!  Coach Wilson and staff are building a strong program, and doing it the right way.

As others have mentioned, you don't get an award for going undefeated in the regular season.  He schedules tough non-region games that get them ready for this time of year, and here they are again with a reasonable chance to make the semis for the first time in a long time.

Springfield has always had athletes, but Wilson's teams are well coached, and well prepared each week.

Many folks were sceptical when he got the job, that he could transition from middle school to high school ball. He took some lumps in his first several years, but now we fans have expectations of deep playoff runs year in year out.  Good luck Jackets the rest of the way, and many years to come.  #SPT brand.

I agree not as much a strong suit as the past but not a liability either

Been struggling in the trenches this season. 8 has really progressed being a first yr starter. Only a Jr. 

23 should get more touches next season other than receiver due to other weapons graduating. 

Imo

When is the last time the Jackets have given up points in the 2nd half? Seems like it has been a while.

You think Jackson beats us badly???

No, SS is not capable of blowing anyone out...except Chester co apparently.  

They're just a solid running based team with a quick D line. Turnovers (5) cost them the game vs Lexington. With that knowledge I would expect Lexington to put up more points,  but they didn't.

No doubt, not only that but they are doing a great job on game night as they have been on point with half time adjustments!
