JacketLover Posted November 10, 2022 Report Share Posted November 10, 2022 2 hours ago, NoPuntIntended said: Don't know much about Springfield, but i saw their roster and they seem to be very undersize for a 5A team. What makes Springfields defense so good? Springfield fans think this will be a game? Thinking about making the trip to see this matchup Maybe since Springfield is so undersized they should just stay home, . Actually, if you come to the game or watch it, just keep your eyes on Springfield’s linebacker number 45. He’s usually the smallest player on the field but makes at least 10 tackles a game and affects more plays than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said i didnt know much about Springfield other than what i read in the paper and what i saw when looking at their roster. They are small for a 5A school, but i never said they didn't have playmakers, they obviously do. I just wanted to know how is a undersized 5A school always so successful. Seems like many of the posters in this group have never seen Munford on the field and are quick to put labels on them because of the district they are placed in.

Just join the MJ/Page thread, we might as well just send out whoever is left from the 1974 class to play Friday night. Apparently we have no chance.

That comment may have struck a nerve in me at that moment. I always get a laugh when people comment about our size. I remember in 2017 when we played Haywood County in the semis; I watched their steam the next day and the color announcer couldn’t believe we were beating them because all he could say was “They’re so little.” I don’t think anyone means any disrespect to Munford’s team with their comments. I do think everyone is going off of what we have seen from the Memphis teams we have played the last two years. I tend to agree that the teams in that region haven’t played the same caliber of teams as teams from our region. Looking forward to the trip, the drive down and back not so much.

You have to overlook our announcers! LOL They can get a little loose with their style of announcing! (I am not a fan of at all). They do not represent the majority of the fan base as to how they think! Munford has a nice facility! Their visitor side is small so get there in plenty of time! Their band is as good as you will see in high school anywhere! Being a Tomcat fan, i will have to pull for the cougers in this one. They may have a "weaker" schedule but i believe they will give a closer game than most anticipate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played at home against Trezavent in 1993 also in qtr final winning on our way to winning State Championship.. Oh ok. I don’t remember Ridgeway. I was young then but maybe I was thinking about Humbolt. I remember listening to Walter George then bc I didn’t go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost @ home to Brenwood Academy in the semi game. Micheal Thomas and Chico Gardner were in the backfield, most stacked Springfield team ever. I remember watching those dudes as a kid. Close to the time that I remember starting watching them. Best tandem in my lifetime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eers Posted November 11, 2022 Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 8 hours ago, ilovethegame said: Seriously??? Yes. 100% believe this to be true. I would give Springfield the edge at QB, but ER has two RBs that are better than Springfield’s. ER also has the best two WRs. And honestly I don’t think it’s close. Understand that’s not a knock on Springfield, I just think the ER skill guys are that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin38 Posted November 11, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2022 8 hours ago, NoPuntIntended said: I believe Central's QB is the head coach's son, so maybe he was pandering to the other coaches to get his son player of the year. I saw in the paper where centrals QB threw 4 interception and possibly a couple of those were in the end zone if i'm not mistaken. If Central's QB doesn't throw 4 interceptions this game might've turned out differently? He threw those INTs because Springfield's DBs are one of the strongest aspects of the team, that and they do a good job getting after the QB. Also, you mentioned size, Springfield is always undersized, but that never seems to stop them, if Munford sees the Jackets and immediately think about their lack of size, it will be too late before they realize they are in a ball game...
