Crockett was better than folks gave them credit for,  they were big too

They almost went to the 4th round in 4A js. They lost the Haywood game by a last minute touchdown late in the 4th. Crockett was very good.

also saying that we beat Crocket 2 weeks before season 37-20 and second in the state division 2 1A USJ one week before season 31-0. Peabody was playing some of the best in the state and we didn’t know it completely at the time. 
 

back in 2015 Peabody did a game battle of the champions against UC after both had won. Hopefully we could do that with Lake County in 2020. That would be awesome in my book.

That was a fun game to watch, hopefully we can set a preseason scrimmage up.. not during spring so all the baseball players that are on the team can participate

More comments on the game. 

- Meigs inexperience in the big game showed. as i think their line slacked off in the 3rd. i still give Dickson full credit for his output. but meigs looked at the TC game and the first half in the BC bowl, and thought "we can coast to victory". their coaches taking a knee late in the 2nd Q was coaching malpractice. 

- Give peabody credit. they stunk it up for 24 minutes just about. but they, like champions do, activated beast mode or the entire second half. they were unstoppable. likely the best half of football by anyone in 2A the last 3-4 seasons. 

- Swafford wasn't 100%, but he still is such a special talent. He was limping between plays from the start. He was slow walking to the huddle, to the sideline, i mean all of ou coudl see it. Before the Dickson hit. And after. 

- Baugus had the game taken from him by the coachig staff. he was wild and jameis winstonesque with multipel throws, resulting in multiple picks. he looked like the least of the semifinalists. like the heisman winner who plays a bad bowl game. 

- peabody's line, who i said would be at a disadvantage, wore meigs down on both sides. and opened huige holes offensively in the 2nd. i was wrong on that one. 

- meigs kickoffs were putrid and gave peabody fp at their own 40 on average all day. huge factor. 

- i admired peabody's staff for seeing that dickson was unstoppable and they literalyl gave him the ball like 13-14 times straight. most coaches get in their own way on stuff like that. more evidence of "been there before". 

- meigs rbs did not have a good game. but they werent really given a chance to establish anything.

I think Meigs had 8 first downs and only 30 total 2nd half yard with a total of 152 yards

Peabody had 18 first downs with a total of 359 yards

Peabody was just the better team.

If Baugus and Halbrook, and Hammonds  would have had their usual game, the game would have been a running clock.  Credit the coaching staff for using the powerful running game of Wilkins and Dickson. The defensive line and offensive lines dominated.  Our coaching staff is amazing.
