Fayetteville  had said that they were missing players against Marion 

I believe they had a couple linemen that didn’t play because of eligibility. We lost a starting lineman during that game as well. Marion won that game in the trenches and any Fayetteville fan that was there will say the same. Also we were faster than them. Had 1 TD on a kickoff called back as well. We handled the freshman rb that night. They had another rb (I believe was #7) that was the better rb honestly. If I'm not mistaken he was hurt and didn't play in the title game. Teams get better as the season goes on for sure and that was evident with Fayetteville. They deserved that championship because they were the better team that day.

At times he did especially after Stone was out of there.    However, their defensive play kept them in the game.  Without him, they would have been toast.  Frankly, if they were that good, they would have beat Jasper and Gordy earlier in the year.  They struggled twice with a Huntland team that shut the freshman down. 

We lost 20+ seniors from the 2019 team and most of the starters for 2020 saw their first varsity action ever against Marion. We were missing 7 starters against Gordy. No argument for the Huntland games.

Also, KJ is great but we are not a 1 player team. Lots of other guys made big plays for us all year including title game. We have 2 other RBs that I would consider elite and closed out the Moore Co and Lake Co playoff games for us.

I can’t say much about marions game. I just know the Fayetteville guys were saying they were missing players

We weren't talking about who deserved to win.  They still struggled with a Huntland team, twice. If Huntland was able to shut down a freshmen, our coaches missed something.

We installed a new offense on Monday of that week and really didn't have it down pat. It's a mute point really. Can't always compare against other teams. Sp had a very good team and I felt they would win that game to be honest. 

I was surprised (and ecstatic)

The post was about Fayetteville missing players and I alluded to that. Our game was brought up and I explained how Marion won their game with Fayetteville. Too many locals thought because we beat them that sp would walk all over them.

Marion Co was the better team in week 1. MC did have a lightning fast RB. We did a lot of growing up and getting better between week 1 and title game. I think we were playing our best at the end.

You are right about RB getting hurt in the semis. He is a really tough guy. I think he dressed and tried to play in the title game, but he was still hurt.

You were definitely clicking at the end of the season. Wasn't that rb a junior?

    • Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job. 
    • I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf  
    • The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..  
    • I think they have they coach they want close to being done. I guess we will all see how this plays out. I hope the hire a good one. There are some players in the box for the next coach to work with.
