Is Gordy as good or better than they were last year?

They are better on the field and better at bragging about it.

I’d like to hear Croz’s take on this.  He probably knows better than anyone.

The tigers have played so better teams through the season than clay has. Will it pay off for the tigers ? time will tell

Good luck to both teams but im picking g-ville  by two scores.

It's actually a hard question to answer. I think there are a few position groups that are not as good, simply because we went from playing with dominant seniors to talented underclassmen. 

As a team, I feel like we might be better, mainly because the large sophomore and junior classes are a year older and more experienced. There are several juniors that started as freshmen, and now they're 3 year starters and have another year to go. But, I also know that as of right now, there are only 3 seniors seeing significant playing time. A lack of numbers in the senior class is a hard obstacle to overcome.

Having said all that, honestly, I'm surprised by our record at this point. It is better than what I thought it would be. Offensively, I thought our offensive line would be a very strong aspect of our team. We were coming in with 3 returning starters, and one open spot would be filled by a senior. 2 of those returning starters have been hampered by injuries, so we've been playing 1 senior, 2 juniors, 1 sophomore, and 1 freshman on the O-line, and only one of those started last year, yet they've been getting it done. As always, they can do better, but I've been pleasantly surprised at what they've done thus far.

Again, having said all that, I think as a whole we're a little better, however there are a couple of position groups that are not what they were last year. It kind of makes it hard to compare to last year as our strengths are completely different.

Excellently said.  That’s what I’ve said all year essentially, “a different Gville than last year but still a good Gville team”.

I believe this is one of the best assessments I've read on CoachT.

I honestly think it's more excitement about what we "think" this team can do, rather than bragging. This bunch of Juniors won the jr. high state championship's in 7th and 8th grade. So, the expectations have been high moreso for fans. We have waited the last couple years with anticipation to see if past winning by these young men translates to this year and next. At least that's where I see it from the cheap seats.

I was curious about that as well.
