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?

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
