Central vs Halls

[dilweed3]

I agree central will keep their starters in. But, the real question is will they keep them in to tune up for maryville? Because Halls has them in a dog fight? or to run up the score like they did against clinton? sure it's clinton's job to stop them, but was there really a need to throw any kind of pass when your up 65-0 and running an 8min. quarter?

If you read my post carefully you will find that I never said or implied that Centrals coaching staff was bad. In fact I implied they were good. But in my opinion they are not as good as the staff at Halls. I feel the coaches at Halls does more with less talent. I believe if you look back you will find that Halls has more play-off appearences and wins in the play-offs than Central over the past 10 years, they have more regular season region championships, and the same number of clinic bowl appearences. Sure Central has enjoyed succes the past several years but how about the 5 or so years before that. High school football goes in cycles. Central is having a good run of athletes and are having some success. Halls on the other had is going through a bad cycle and are struggleing. But even during the bad cycle they have made the playoffs 9 of the past 10 years. Thats what I call good coaching. Making the best with what you got.

 

As far as your comment about Halls players at Central lets just say they had a little help and were misinformed about each schools past success. Just as ragweed said Halls by far has had a more consistent and successful program over the past 20+ years. Every once in a while they get out their gold ball and give it a shine. It is only one but one more than Central or anyone else in the region except the mighty rebels.

 

johnpaul it is good to see the gag off. Your intelligent post are always interesting.

Ok I have done some checking on Central and Halls past play-off experiences.Since it has been said in a qoute about the last 20 years here ya go.

Central has been in ONE state final and lost and have made the play-offs 11 times in the last 20 years with a record of 18 wins and 11 losses.

Halls has been in TWO state finals winning ONE and losing ONE and have made the play-offs 10 times in the last 20 years with a record of 15-9.

Central has been knocked out of the play-offs 3 times in the last 20 years and Halls 4 times. So now we know a little about the last 20 years of play-offs for these two teams who has the advantage and who has been more dominant over the last 20 years?

Where did you get your information. It would be interesting to look at. If Iam not mistaken which I could be Halls went to the play-offs in 86-92 and 94-2001which is 15 appearences. But all my info is based on my memory and at 58 sometimes it isn't what it used to e.

According to the website I looked this up under Halls did not make the play-offs from 1987-1991 and again from 1993-1994 and yet again in 2002. Can't remember the site but will look for it tomorrow and post it here if I can find it again.

If I remeber right Halls did not make play-offs last year. If Halls beats Central this year, and wins out wich is most likey they have home feild till like after the 2nd round I think.

This is where I found out the play-off history of Halls and Central and it goes into more details than iI listed as far as who they played and the score.

I have a quote from Chase Lobetti today

I will put Jackson on his butt

so I'm not the only one who thinks Halls could win. I want to know really how many people think it will be a good game and who will win Halls or Central. I was wrong when I said a Freshman would not start at CB . Sharp will, but I think he will be pulled fast. He is really quick but he will get hurt if he plays to long. This game is either going to be a blow out or a really close game that comes down to the final sec.

 

For Halls to win they have to they have to stop the run and force Helton to Pass and put presser on him when he dose.

 

For Central to win they have to jump on Halls early and contain the run by Halls. don't Halls beat you with their D.

 

I still think Halls by 2

This is for Redrage:

Just because Central isn't allowed to recruit, doesn't mean that they don't recruit. Former Halls Grad and Halls little league coach, (that coached the players from Halls that now play at Central), Kevin Lane I know was the reason for those players zoned for Halls going to Central. Just ask KENNY aka bobcat4eva24. Or we could say that (not mentioning any names) Centrals DE and TE's father got rejected from coaching at Halls and forced his son to play at Central. I played for Kevin Lane when I was in little league and I liked him so much that if he would of asked me to come play with him that I would of probably came too. Even with Central's recruits, Halls wins

Of course the Halls kids are going to say they are going to put somebody on their butt and win the game. What did you expect them to say? But this will be really good to show Cassen tomorrow. Talk about bulletin board material.

This is a game i have been waiting for all year. Not only is this game for bragging rights, but it is personal. I dont care how many "athletes" central has but i can guarantee one thing. HALLS will be ready guaranteed.

Central-17

Central maybe looking past Halls to Maryville. But no way does that matter. Halls is to young and Central is to polished. I suspect that the first quarter may be close , but after that Central does what it wants.
