I guess they reasoned that if he had the talent to defeat a 10-0 team, he had no excuse for going 2-8? That team had a bunch of pre-season all-state players on it, and Whiwuhl was coming off the Gold Ball win of 2018. While they weren't nearly as good as the were the year before, they were supposed to be much better than 2 - 8 during the season. Monterey made the quintessential mistake of overlooking them at home. They hung around with Gordy at Gordy the following week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsAlwaysSunnyInAtwood Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 It was 3A but was any run better than 2-8 Stratford making it to the semis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 90’s we had a 3-7 team win state in 4A here in Georgia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressive post season. Never heard of anything like it. Y'all would make my short list too, but on the wrong end of a "shocker". Most of these look like upsets due to seeding, but betting odds would be close or maybe favor the lower seeds...in 2015 JCS went to Waverly and beat a very good Tiger team with a losing record. We played both teams that season, and y'all were probably three scores better than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEON Posted October 30, 2022 Report Share Posted October 30, 2022 In 2005 East Robertson a 1 seed lost to 4 seed Richland 12-7. Ironically the Indians won the Region that was loaded with private schools , they defeated Goodpasture for the Region title who went on to the Championship losing to Alcoa ,if I remember correctly Patrick Willis ? was on that team and went on to sign with USC.

Patric Willis was from Bruceton/Hollow Rock and played at Ole Miss... had to be someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTownRoad Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 11 hours ago, HasbeenOrNeverwas said: That 2014 Monterey team was out for blood, they had the bye the year before in ‘13 , ran for almost 400 yards and lost to a #6 seed Fayetteville city (1st year in existence) who also knocked off #3 defending champs Gordy in the first round on the road edit: that was the first Fayetteville team to get their lunch money taken by south Pittsburg. I watched that 2014 Monterey come to life. They were down 19-0 at Clay County in their third game of the season, then finally figured out their running back was unstoppable. While their failures on two point attempts caused them to get upset that night in Celina 19-18, you could tell they had a force to be reckoned with. That win put Clay County in the playoffs at 4-6 in the last year of the "Z Plan" and gave them a chance to go upset South Pittsburg, which nearly happened.

They hung around with Gordy at Gordy the following week. Absolutely a point to mention as well. A classic case of a good team not bringing their "A" game and the lower seed having a lot more potential than their record indicated.

Either way it was very disappointing! My son was on the team that went to semi. Not saying it wasn't memorable, just saying there was a little more context to that game. Not many undefeated teams get rewarded by playing the defending state champions in the first round of the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
