We usually host several teams. We play a Republic or small school and the big guys (Centennial, Father Ryan, Giles Co) play each other. If we line up against Rockvale I will be surprised.

but we have no problem scheduling BGA back to back. or Lauderdale Co, AL

[GeneralForrest]

We played Nolensville in our Jamboree when they were a new 4A school and it was 28-0 after 1Q

Forrest made the 2 hour bus trip and went toe to toe with a 4A playoff team that returned 13 starters. Both defenses were dominant. Neither team was able to maintain drives and there is lots of offensive work to do before 8/23. Typical high school scrimmage between two evenly matched teams. Some bright spots but lots to work on. 

I stand corrected on the jamboree. Forrest will indeed take on 6A Rockvale in a few weeks.

Great report Salem, thank you. This team might have something special.   I am taking a glass half full approach. These first few defenses won't be of 4A calibur

[GeneralForrest]

Lemme analyze this a little more. My between the lines in parentheses

"Forrest made the 2 hour bus trip (Forrest should have been the more tired team, but were evenly matched)  and went toe to toe with a 4A playoff team that returned 13 starters (higher class, more starters returning, and went to  the playoffs, Forrest should’ve been overmatched). Both defenses were dominant (Forrest is gonna have a good defense this year against the given competition). Neither team was able to maintain drives and there is lots of offensive work to do before 8/23 (But if Forrest either a) wasn’t showing much b) were just experimenting or c)_ can get it together, this could be a great year). Typical high school scrimmage between two evenly matched teams (alluded to above). Some bright spots but lots to work on. "

Extras:

• Macon got shellacked by Westmoreland last year. 
• Macon beat Portland, a 2019 Forrest opponent, last year, 21-12 
• Macon lost in the forst round at home to Nolensville, a non competitive 42-7.

I never said they were a good 4A playoff team.   Should be comparable to Portland and Lawrence Co though. 

Macon Co finished 2nd in their region but got swept by Marshall Co's region in the first round. So their best region team would be no better than 5th place in Region 4-4A.

Macon rb/db and their TE/DE are very good but over all still in rebuilding mode under second year coach Shoulders.
