Sorry, I remember you posting in the thread, and I thought it was you who made the statement.  I'm old and senile, so please forgive me.  However, whoever made the post seems to have been spot on.  I haven't seen you on here in a long time.  It's nice to see you back.

No worries. Just wanted to clarify. 

 

I remember that season, I was a sophomore. The team went 10-0 and beat Milan in Milan. At that time, we had a big senior class and athletes across the field and a big o line. As well as the Walden brothers. Everyone was involved and excited following the season and without past seasons to compare to nobodyreally new how good we were.

I wonder how that SGC team would do against the current ones. I new with how well coached the team was and disciplined the staff had the players they would be a competitive team even in the down years. Senior year SGC went 2-8, but was still a tough win. 

 

I don't thing I would still say they are a powerhouse, but still a good football program with things to be excited about.

I like the way you put that. It is a shame that either one of these teams had to lose. Well done, sir. 

Thanks.  I feel for South Gibson.  I know this game had to hurt, but the Hornets are going to be okay.  Several of us had said all week that this game was going to be a toss-up, and it was.  It could have easily gone either way.  I like your earlier post about the game as well.

They do have a first class program.

I would say that most people thought this was going to be a blow out. One friend of mine that laughed in my face when I told him SGC could beat Haywood. " you need to take your orange tented glasses off ".

If the tomcats clean up the yellow garment problem they will be smoking good.

It seems several Haywood posters had the same misconception.  I guess it was just a bit of hubris. 

You're absolutely right about the yellow garment problem.  It has been a problem for Haywood for years, and it has caused them to lose games.  I'm confident that this year's coaching staff will get that under control.

Where you been noah? Did you tune in and watch the game last night? It sure was a good one. 

I was freelancing last night covering another 3A school. I'm not in West TN anymore, but still check in on SGC when I can

Some of that yellow flag problem last night seemed to be on the zebras. A few phantom calls but it’s all good.

Since I try to be fair and objective, I hate to admit it, but I thought that too.

Haywood did a masterful job at beating SGC in the kicking game. I have never seen SGC exploited like they were Friday night in that aspect. 

I really think it would would have made a big difference in the game if SGC did not give Haywood a short field so many times.

I agree with that. My thinking would have been to onside kick every time after a score. Either way, Haywood was starting at midfield. They got the one they did onside. They tried squibbing, pooch and deep kicking and none worked. Haywood has great returners all over the field.
