Page Schedule

[Rerun92]

I'm not trying to be funny or mean, but I hadn't realized that Page was undefeated so far.  I was pretty impressed by that until I looked at their schedule, and they are 10-0, but theyve only played two teams with winning records, and by winning records, i mean 6-4 - both of em.   What's up with that scheduling?  How can you have their talent and recent tradition and not schedule any competitive games?  Do the football powers avoid one another in scheduling?  Love it if someone could explain it.

You can run but you can’t hide and a weak schedule normally catches up with teams at some point during the playoffs.  You need to be battle tested to win a state championship.

W-L doesn't tell the whole story. Played the same schedule last year and got to state so I don't think that will be a problem

Then it sounds to me like you've achieved your goals.

No matter the schedule, Page allowed 13 points all season. They are coming off three straight State Championship game appearances so whatever they are doing is working.

You realize teams schedule for a 2 year period? It’s not like Page could have changed their schedule heading into this year. 
 

They are poised to make another run to Chattanooga.

one of those teams Page routed this year by bout 30 or so pts.....handed Page a L last season.....you cant predict what THE MAJORITY of teams are goin to give you from year to the next.........and you cant just swap durin mid season for a stronger contestant cause another is gettin throttled by everyone....

....but the best an explainin Booger can give ReRun92 is that Page is somewhere with less than 10 L's and bout 50ish W's in past 4 seasons.......Page had Zero control over 15 of those contestants they played in the previous 3 years...and Page beat 12 of them...

...heres the kicker....Page got 3 showins in a row at the Big Dance for Gold Ball at Finley....

...Page just fine

Booger just sayin

Booger likes some Page....and what that feller Rathbone be doin....Page staff ant no joke either....

....Booger could play, coach or be a fan of a team that showed up for a Gold Ball contest and lose every time....and might just be OK

Booger just sayin

Regardless of schedule, I think Page is the best 5A team in the state.

Great post OP and one that was highly debated a couple of years ago. 
 

With so many 5/6A schools in Williamson and Davidson counties, you can put all of the schools in a hat and draw for regions and all the schools are relatively close. Since we moved up from 4A, for some reason, we have had more success. 
 

Indy, Franklin and Giles are traditional rivals and all are typically good and, add Fairview in the mix. If Indy and Franklin were back in 5A, their schedules and W/L records would be completely different. They usually are in 6A anyway. 
 

Even with what seems like a weak schedule, we have made it to the ‘ship the past few years and, this is despite a large amount of skepticism. Add in we have several top college commits and one 5* commit.

I’m hoping this year we bring the gold ball home!

If Page doesn't win the Gold Ball, it will be a disappointing season imo.

I thought the same 2 of the last 3 years.

I just hope we are not the Bills of the 90’s. At first, we were just excited as a program “just to be there”. Now, it’s as if we deserve to be there.
