TheCommissioner Posted November 5, 2022 Report Share Posted November 5, 2022 49 minutes ago, DANR said: Yes Springfield wasn't clicking on all cylinders on offense last night. Too many self inflicted penalties, and gave up some bad sacks. It became apparent in the 3rd Q that MC wasn't trying to win the game, but to keep it close. They punted several times in Springfield territory down 21 points. The Jackets were content to run it into a 9 man box and run the clock out. I don't blame them for trying to get out of there with a W and not sustain injuries. This game got pretty chippy, would have been bad to lose a key player on a dirty hit in a game that was never in question after the 2nd quarter. I wasn't surprised to see the Jackets pass on the post game handshake. There was potential for after game fireworks. MC coach seemed to lack discipline with his behavior. He was on the field as much as off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a little insight on them. They have some talent that Munford has not had before. As our broadcast team told me before we played them, they have three players who are college prospects. Their QB, Bell, is a real threat both passing and running the ball. The running back, Sharp, transferred in from Brighton, making Brighton fans mad, and really improving the Munford offense. They also have a transfer wideout, Cobb, who came in from Memphis White Station. Between these three, their offense is cooking. They all are among the offensive leaders in the Metro Memphis area. But, what impressed me most was their defense. They held Covington to 7 points, which is way below our season average in the high 30s. Even Haywood gave up 17 to our offense. So, I’ve followed their season with interest, and it appears that our little 3A team losing to an undefeated 5A Munford was not as bad as it seemed at the time. I know zip about Springfield, but if y’all can beat Munford, you will have done something. We have to play our A game every game from here on out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, Covington proceeded to win the next 7 games after that loss, so it’s not like we had fallen off in talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will not over look Munford and be well prepared, they have gone on the road all the way to semis in the past, so the road trip will be no problem...

That was not a good showing IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
