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.

Our players are so little though, so when they threw punches they went over our heads.  The “little Jackets” is the new name for our D.  Munford is the dirtiest team I have seen in a while

I believe the Jackets will go to Munford Friday night and take care of business. Y’all will definitely by far be the best team they’ve seen this year. I personally don’t consider y’all the underdog in

In 1991 the Jackets went to Memphis Ridgeway in qtr finals winning 27-13 , the wind was unbelievable that game , I remember we ran a toss sweep and ball went backwards down field. We played at home ag

I’m not a Munford fan, but they beat my Covington team to open the season. 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

Oh, yeah, I forgot to mention that Covington had beat Munford the last four years, so this season’s loss to them showed how much Munford has improved this season. And, Covington proceeded to win the next 7 games after that loss, so it’s not like we had fallen off in talent.

Springfield is nothing if they are not well coached, that is a definite. 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...

The second half of the Henry County game is the best football we have played this year IMHO.  We need to play to that level for the whole game the rest of the way to be successful 

 

I am cautiously optimistic about our possibilities Friday evening

I personally like their chances, but they have to play better than they did yesterday. That was not a good showing IMO.

I don’t think there was any reason to mention “over looking” Munford… when you’re the underdog…

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      Sorry Barn. I wasn’t specific enough. It seems I’m always protecting the principal at 825. My interactions with her have been extremely positive, but very limited. With all the other stories being told, I’m confident there are other sides I am not aware of. Regardless, there are lots of decent people earning good checks up there. Maybe too good, which explains why no one is willing to speak up. My beef is with the poor communication among the athletic programs and with the administration. Seven years ago the poor communication led to my son missing graduation due to a sporting event that was planned months before. I chalked it up to the system being totally shocked that the baseball team made it out of their district, and our then AD was a football coach. Maybe they were surprised and did not plan appropriately. That was more palatable than they just didn’t give a crap. Déjà vu, seven years later, same thing. Different administration, but same result.  Maybe in seven more years, it will actually be “about the kids”. They should do better.
