Memphis Middle College Bulldogs travel to Dresden Lions' Rotary Field Fri.10th, trying to upset us in the second round. This will be a great test for the Lions as this Memphis squad will be better than the last 4 teams we have faced. Will we be rusty? Over-confident? Overlooking them towards future games? Unprepared? .. We really have no excuses to not win, we are healthy in all positions, have depth, great coaching in how we are being prepared for our next opponents, have an awesome bond & brotherhood on & off the field, and WE GOT A KICKER to top it off (which is often a rarity in 1A, & that is a very important weapon!). Hopefully the winds of fortune are blowing right for our Lions, and that these city-slicker Bulldogs will be overwhelmed by the smells, sounds, & sights of the Lions' Den hog-farm out here in the country and they'll not have enough to upset the Lions this game. May all players & staff & cheerleaders & support people on all teams stay healthy & injury free, & may all fans traveling have safe journeys whether they have small or large trips. Sad to see only what, 5 fans or so for Middleton? It's always great for teams to have lots of supportive fans, but that is often not the case for a whole host of reasons. How many ever fans they have. the Lion Nation will be WAAAAY MORE, & we will be loud & proud, noisy & encouraging of our team, cheering them on in this next MUST WIN game. One at a time, one play at a time.. our hungry Lions are on a mission! BEAST MODE MEN! GOOOO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY! 
 

Score? 55-14 Lions win.

Middle College looks very fast and loves to use draw and outside zone runs to set there offense up. They may put up some points on Dresden. But on the defense Lake County was just to predictable is what It looked like to me. There wr screens you could see from a mile away ... and Mullins is good but you can't have 80% of you first half plays be just handing the football off to him. Unfortunately if the QB would have just took off and ran the ball instead of making some of his throws that hit the dirt could have been a different game.

In the 40s and rainy perfect playoff football weather. Dresden has no problem slowing the game down keeping it on the ground and pounding the ball if it's wet and sloppy.

Dresden 35 Middle 14

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
