Go look at who PC lost to besides Melrose, they were competitive in those games as well, you are just not familiar with Melrose because they have been off the radar for a decade or more, if they are anything close to what they were, points will be at a premium, I am pulling for MC, look forward to watching this game!

I wouldn’t say I don’t know anything about Melrose. Very familiar with their football program. 8Ball and MJG!!! Yes sir!

I remember a really good wrestler Springfield had back in that time period, 93-95 but I can’t remember his name. Black guy, wrestled around 140-150 something if I remember right. Played football too I believe. I loved y’all’s wrestling coach, awesome dude.  

I believe you are referring to Chico (135), he won Mr Football (1993), or it could have been Carlos (145 or 152?) who was a very good LB for us, he was short and stocky with a muscular build, both were very good wrestlers, I believe Chico made it further in the state competition though. Yeah Coach Thomas is a great guy, he was the head football coach as well...

Those mules better be ready because those creases will close fast and don’t even think about putting it in the air

Special Mules…they talk. Usually they look and point and let you know right where they are about to run…they smile too. Just make sure your 1 trick Pony is ready. Melrose goes as he goes, and it’s no secret. Trick, Tock, see you Saturday!

I actually played for Springfield from 92-96, but I have heavily followed high school football throughout the years, and I remember those Melrose teams very well, great team speed, especially on defense, tough up the middle, and almost impossible to get outside on, very hard to beat them if you couldnt pass at least some. Those battles with Maryville were always very entertaining. What is the deal with the gold cleats, do they have to run a 4.5 or faster to wear them? Anyway, really looking forward to this game!

Just after the Rob West era. The 1990 Springfield/Macon was epic

I am not hating on the Border twins, but Melrose always has guys with elite speed, and when they are good, it is even scarier, maybe there is some film out there somewhere...

Exactly well said. Yes the border twins are quick. No doubt about it. Macon county should win this game but make no mistake about it. Melrose will have 10 kids on that team as quick as the twins and they’ll have three or four that are faster.  We don’t see speed around here like they have in Memphis.

    • Oh I know about Gibson Co and have seen them play Westview MANY times over the past 20+ years. However, after they lost Hart and Turner last year, I said they would struggle this year with not having a dominant player that could take over a game like years past and had posters on here comment saying they would be good. What I saw tonight is what I expected. They didn’t have a leader that stepped up and handled the ball and took over and ran their offense.    With the dominant win over Dyersburg last week and then Gibson Co this week, I think Westview has proved they are the top team in this area no doubt
    • I would say Westview is very fortunate to get the Gray kid from South Fulton.. I think they’re a different team without her there. She’s a good player. 
    • I’ve watched a lot of west tn girls ball.. and I’ll say this.. Westview dominated tonight. But, the overall season for Gibson has been good. They lost a miss basketball, mvp, highest point scorer in the history of the program in Micah hart, and a really good defender in Miyah Turner.. those aren’t excuses. But maybe Gibson County hasn’t found their new identity without them. I’ll say overall history would say to not let one game base your decision. That program has a rich tradition. Maybe they regroup and find some solutions for the defense and lack of offense at times… still think you can count them in as the other team to get to state from this region and sub state, unless there’s a team I don’t know about. 
    • Westview is best team in 2A ball.
    • I believe Sims, Gray, and Brent were the three in double digits and then several others had 3-6 each. Gibson County couldn’t stop Westview from hitting the three and when they tried, they drove right by them. I can’t tell you how many wide open layups Westview got. Gibson County got frustrated with Westview’s defense and had several turnovers. This is my first time seeing them this season and I’m interested in hearing if it was just a fluke because I wasn’t impressed at all. They don’t have a bench it doesn’t seem and outside of Rivers and Riding don’t have any athletes
