Sorry....can't go with that based on all the smack the GB faithful have talked the last few years. I think the discussion was how bad GB would beat up on a larger school named William Blount? 

I've no part in the smack talk. Just know normally a 5A would put it on a normal 1A school. I believe this may be a normal year.

Yep 5A,politics has really taken a toll on that school. No way in the world should they be as bad as they are as often. Their middle school teams are usually very very good and then when I get to high school it just changes.

Considering this isn't a normal year for Greenback we're over 50% freshman. On a normal Year I'll take Greenback at least 75% of the time over William Blount.Kind of hard to come in here talking that talk when this team is playing 8 freshman every Friday night. And you can say I don't think so,i don't think so,I don't think so all you want but until they line it up and play us they have nothing to say nor do you. Also if you do your homework it's usually somebody else talkin about us playing and being able to beat William Blount we just agree with them.Your boys team is always very good and they benefit from the same things we do at Greenback.

Old Pirate says playing the young is a two edged sword. Youth gets you beat but develops experience. It is hard to develop youth on a 69 player roster and  with the Mercy Rule in effect it is rarely effective. OP is critic of no JV schedules with large roster teams. That to poses problems with finding teams with enough to field a jv team.

Sorry...no reason to bring "my boy" into the conversation. That has nothing to do with anything I was commenting on. Perhaps you are assuming some intent for my post? Rest assured that there was no intent outside of what was said.

Btw....WB will never play 1A Greenback so the game will remain in the IFL.

My apologies also.Your boys team is what ALL of us strive for!Outstanding in every aspect.Believe me there was NO disrespect intended.Yes you are right it will never happen more than a jamboree.It does nothing for them.

I think we will find a way this week!(I hope)

[Firepit]

I hope the Greenback boys get it together Friday but...until they figure out how to score more than 7 points in a game I might have to give a slight nod to LC. Them being 5A should give them a big advantage against this years inexperienced team.

Being five A last year didn’t seem to be a deterrent for Greenback. They won big. Now this year being five A   All of sudden gives LC. all the advantage. 
This is why big schools playing small schools is always a lose—lose for the big school

I dont care how big they are.We are young yes but we will give it all we got.LC wasnt good last year and arent this year but they "should" be able to beat us this year.We did replace almost the whole team.We also lost our 2 HUGE linemen during THIS season but our young kids play very hard.Being 5A should ALWAYS give them the advantage but the 1300 hundred kids dont all play ball,but they should be able to field 11 with more experience than we have this year.
