I watched him at least 20 games. Anything past 25 yards was suspect, and don’t even think he could make quick slants or sideline passes. 

Chaffin at Upperman is 3 times better.

 

I didn’t realize you were a Trousdale fan.

I went to Macon Co High School but 
I was born in Hartsville, my parents and I stripped tobacco with Jim Satterfield and I have family currently playing for the Jackets. I watched that team play several years and Payne was a beast runner but his passing was suspect. They lost to DCA the year before because they stacked the line and forced Trousdale to pass.

teams Macon beat (Upperman, Anderson Co, White Co, and Westmoreland) beat all 14 teams Trousdale played that season.

You do realize TC beat BGA in 97, who won the D2 small division state championship (only 2 at that time) that season…and who Troy Fleming played RB for. You know, the guy who played at Tennessee and was drafted by the Titans. And played two years there.
 

I am in no way demeaning Macon’s fantastic team and state championship but you are absolutely going off the deep end with this stuff.

Yes I know that. BGA was the best team that Trousdale played. I was at that game and Jackets bottled him up. Macon just played Morrow who is headed to Texas A&M and shut him down.

All I am saying is 2024 Macon, 2023 Upperman and 1997 Trousdale all are very close and it’s not a clear cut #1. This Macon team proved they belong in that conversation by beating Anderson Co and Melrose.

In my opinion I still think y’all’s 2013 team is the best team at Upperman. 2018 and 2023 both were phenomenal but I don’t think you all have had a team as talented as the 13 bunch. Coaching in 2013 was the kryptonite of that team but they were young and had never been in any big games to that point

I agree

Talent wise, 2013 upperman was better than those three

Undisputed. I haven’t seen a team around here anywhere near as talented as that team. They had size, strength, speed, and a high motor from every kid on the field. And had Superman playing QB for them. Coach’s dream to have all of that on the field every Friday night

And what is amazing, there was still more talent walking the hallways. The football program was new at winning big. Still was considered a baseball and basketball school. Alot of the Jr high football talent only played baseball, basketball, or basketball abd baseball. 

That group went to state round robin in baseball spring of 2013, semi's in football fall of 2013, and the state basketball tournement in 2014. Was a great class of kids. Loaded with size, speed, numbers.
