WHO WINS THIS YEAR AND WHY 

[orngnblk]

Im going with CA and believe me that tastes bad saying that!

[GeneralForrest]

Good team last year- apparently they got some additional talent mid year. Forrest was up 6-0 on them until the mid 4th Q. 

What is our reasoning for this year O&B

 

[GeneralForrest]

Forrest could potentially be a physically dominant team. Or they could cave to penalties and sloppiness and be 5-5

I think QB consistency will also be in the Rocket's favor. #6 has an arm

How's the new coach seem to be?

[GeneralForrest]

He's the DC from the previous 2 years. Westmoreland guy who is well-respected. 

If anything might be a little tougher discipline wise from Johns.

How you think this year team will be compared to last year ? The 16 team was good that's only time I have seen Forrest play.

I sort of outlined that - best case they dominate with the run and beat teams 28-6 with ball control

Another possibility with this QB is that they average 35 pts a game in a mix of run and pass. 

Worse case, they are sloppy with penalties and turnovers and beat Community, Loretto, Cascade. Summertown, and that's it  

[GeneralForrest]

The 16 team was the best in school history. Those kids went 21-4 their junior and senior years, beat 4A Page, Tyner, and Meigs, AND won their region both years AND went to the Elite 8 their senior season. 2 of the 4 losses were to Marion Co teams who were state runner ups.   

[Yeti]

Yeah that was a good year for Meigs as well. You all beat us in the playoffs by 3 points I think it was. And got destroyed by Marion next round like we did 2nd game of the season. Marion that year was tough.

[GeneralForrest]

Back to back evictions form the playoffs in 2015 and 2016 by Marion- as strong a squad as there are been in 2A those 2 years. 

2015- Marion takes a 17-3 lead into halftime, we onside kick to start the 2nd half and got a big play and a quick score to make it 17-10 and The Rock was rockin. Marion with the Hamilton kid promptly scored 3 straight on the way to a 38-10 final. 

2016- Forrest takes the opening drive and rams it down Marion's throat for a 7-0 lead and we were thinking, "Well they aren't as good as last year and we are better, maybe this will be a game." That lasted a very short time, as I think they got it to 55-7 before we scored a last second TD for a 55-14 final.  

Marion went on to lose to Trezevant both years for the Gold Ball- but we all know the Bears were similar to Jon Jones- he juiced and they fixed grades. Marion was the true champ those 2 years.

No idea about trezevant, but I agree that Marion was outstanding. Meigs never was in the game in 16 with them they scored at will. And I hope you guys have a good year. Be nice to see you a little deeper in the playoffs this year.
