Coach0001 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Before the season I had Atlanta as the favorite. Here they are in the Regional FinalĀ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anxiety Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Atlanta looked really good tonight. They started 0-4 with losses to Gilmer, Gladewater, Pleasant Grove, and Liberty-Eylau. That's a tough road for anybody. Since then, they have been on a run outscoring their opponents 389-172, with just one hiccup to Jefferson. Great job Rabbits!

Golfingnut Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Despite how they got here, Atlanta is right where they were predicted to be before the season began. Congrats Rabbits, it doesn't matter how you got here, just that you did.Ā 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevyman Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I thought MVs turnover bug finally caught up with them. Its really hard to beat most teams putting the ball on the ground but even harder to beat a team as talented as Atlanta. There was such momentum swings on all of the turnovers last night and the Rabbits took advantage. Also, speed kills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As was stated above, the fumble at the end of the first half with MV going in to score was an absoluteĀ Ā game changer.If they had gotten that score and scored on the opening drive of the second half it's a completely different game...but as Mt. Vernon's favorite son used to say so often...well, we all know what he used to say...but it is so true!!!Ā Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went 4 deep in back-to-back years and both timesĀ we played in Longview. We lost to Gladewater one year and Gilmer the next so hopefully we can break the curse this year if we play the Bears.

H3llR4z0r Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 This game started off so shaky for us. Receive the kickoff, then throw a pick on a screen on the 3rd play from scrimmage, giving Mt. Vernon the ball on our own 30.Ā If Atlanta could start as fast as they finish... oh man.Ā West Rusk we started with a 3 and out, followed by a interception inside the redzone. Kemp, we elected to receive then Kemp recovered the onside kick to open the game. Mount Vernon, we elect to receive, throw a pick on the 3rd play of the game, then go 3 and out on the ensuing drive.Ā Ā Next week, regardless of Malakoff or Gladewater, we have to execute early. Drive down the field and score EARLY. Atlanta has given up a total of 13 points over their last 4 games in the second half. They have outscored the last 4 teams they have played 87-13 in the 2nd half. Granted, one of those were Hooks (no disrespect intended),Ā but the other 3 were good playoff teams. In my years of watching Atlanta, I've not known them to be a 2nd half team, or make notable halftime adjustments.. but that seems to have changed. I love to see improvement!

Jeffersondogs96 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Wow! Congrats Atl. Had no idea this game was played last night. I'll be honest and I'm not throwing shade at Atl. That Jefferson game must have sparked something in Atl. It's unbelievable how they've improved. After watching that game, I thought Atl would be 1 and done. Now look, 4 rounds deep. Again congrats and keep that Rabbit train rolling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
