What happen to the tigers tonight? I didn't see this one being quite that close.

Yall sandbagging? 

Prep made it tough on us with their speed and we couldn’t seem to tackle very well. On offense we couldn’t really do anything. They had better athletes all across the field. Even when we would had a nice play that looked like it could go the distance, they chased us down from behind. Overall, they were way more athletic but the difference imo was coaching and team camaraderie

I label myself as a realist rather than a homer, so here's my take.

I honestly didn't think Gordonsville would win last night. Studying schedules and watching Gordonsville's inconsistency this year, I predicted the Tigers wouldn't be able to handle Whitwell. So figured it would be a 2nd round exit. However, seeing how close Prep kept that game with Whitwell, I was concerned that last night may be an early exit. Most knew this years team would be completely different from last year losing that senior class, but still optimistic there would be enough talent remaining to build on. There may be some, but this team just never seemed to get better all year. Mistakes every game, all game long. Never could put my finger on it. Not sure if players really bought in, or maybe some are playing positions  they aren't comfortable in, or could be a disconnect with coaching, but this bunch just never seemed to gel. 

To beat Whitwell, Gordonsville may have to be close to perfect, and they haven't proved they can come close to doing that this year.

Now I'm starting to think like a Vols fan, "maybe next year."

I might have been wrong about Gordonsville. The Chatt Prep score is eye popping.   Gordonsville played Smith County to 6 points and had chances to beat them. Either last night is an anomaly or South Pitts region is a lot better than most think. I’m just keeping it real

South Pitt would be #1 in almost every classification in the state. Some have them and Bradley Central tied at 1 overall in state. I was more worried about clay playing CP if we won region to tell you the truth. All that talent is dangerous. They put more points on South Pitt than any of their region opponents. Just got out coached in most games. I’m just hoping that Clay can keep it close for a while on this game. It would be like David And The Goliath if they could pull it off Lord Willing.

1A and 2A and that’s it, you really don’t think they would be 1# in 3A and above do you?

    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
    • I will never forget the 1983 Heritage vs Maryville game. I remember driving home and listening to WGAP. Can't remember the announcers name. He asked Coach Story why he kept going for 2? Story told him " Why didn't you ask Renfro that last year"
    • TSSAA will let them all go to Mase.
    • Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!
