Lots of things happening in Decatur this week! Powder Puff game on Thursday, TV game on Friday, and I think the cheerleaders are sponsoring some kind of meal before the game on Friday as well. I know Polk is not very strong, but it is still a big game against a longtime, traditional rival - gotta love it. As always, proud to be a Tiger!

Also, I never congratulated the middle school team on their championship last week! Put up a whopping 66 points - WOW! 

I love the spirit of Meigs County in all their sports, from the little ones through high school. Nothing like small town pride. Meigs does it as well as anyone!
I went to the middle school championship game to see a couple of Central Middle kids play that I know. Both are starters, but one of them was dreading the game because as he said, "Meigs hits very hard and they don't quit!" I told him Meigs attitude is what makes them a good football team, and he should do the same. I was shocked how physical Meigs was for a middle school, but was disappointed in Central's players just quitting after they started out playing pretty well.  I could see the fear in them before halftime.

Well implementing stuff like that is what makes it hard to play in those places sometimes. Sometimes crowds just need a push, and so do the kids imo.

That's my point, we do that kind of stuff already. I know a lot of people don't like the music but I know a lot more people who do. The players love it so that should really be all that matters.

Meigs could have the worst performance in ten years from an MC team and still beat Polk. They’re won’t be any let down. 

Meigs JV could probably beat Polk's varsity this year. I hope the new Polk coach can rebuild the program and get kids wanting to play. He inherited a total trainwreck.

If it’s not about the kids are we not wasting our time. We’ve had “our time”. Hoping defense keeps it straightened out... good showing Friday at Oneida after getting embarrassed at SP.

That's an exceptional bunch of 8th graders for Meigs this year. Very good up front and have several very good skill position players. Their starting QB was hurt in a game against Dayton City and played 3 qtrs with a broken arm. Come to find out, the backup has been playing with a broken bone in his foot for the last couple of weeks. I was pretty upset with how Central's fans acted the entire night. Adults should know how to act.

Coach B is a great guy and given time I think he will do well at Polk his brother has his team in GA doing well Ive been told.

Our defense looks great honestly. Id say we could be a little better on pass coverage than what we have been but other than that we have a great defense. Offense on the other hand and I guess I'll be the first to say it out loud has taken a step back in our passing game. If we don't get it tightened up by the playoffs the way we had to play against Trousdale last year wont be a viable option. I would say our run game is better than last year and easily. But passing which opens up the run alot of times needs attention. I know #2 has had some injuries and he is a great reciever, but we really gotta pull that together if we can within the next couple weeks. What do you folks think?

I made most of their games, they are full of try hard and talented which is all you can ask for. I thought the game was over when it was 58-12. Felt bad for the other team when I realized there was another half to be played. The opposing fans did not take it well even though we didn't run it up. I mean honestly we had 1 td the 2nd half.

It's unfortunate for him that he took over amidst a lot of drama. He has big shoes to fill first year and gonna have a hard time doing it.

I agree, not a polk fan but he works hard given time he will make a difference, it goes in cycles at smaller schools as it usually hits every small school for a stretch eventually.

I wouldn't know how to put it together but if someone knew one of the coaches, they could possibly put it together.  Ask the kids what songs for 3rd and maybe 4th if were going for it. Not sure if their are rules against anything like that though. But some implementation to get the crowd more involved would be great. The last 2 games I've tried myself to get them into it and they responded well actually.

I knew about the Meadows (Ethan?) kid getting hurt. Some think he'll be better than his big brother, but big brother is playing pretty darn good and is just a junior. Both are great kids and come from good stock.
Central fans, what can I say? I didn't go to Central but attend most of their games due to family. Central does have some good fans, but many of them are just ignorant and are proud to show it in every sport. I was more disappointed in how Central's coach acted that night disputing a call. Very poor sportsmanship and pitiful example for his players in how he acted. He deserved getting ejected.
