Diehard

Rams don’t have much depth and they are extremely young this year. Two starters been out. The center and a DB/RB…. Both kids would help tremendously…. I believe they only have 3-4 seniors…. And only one of them is a difference maker from the games I have watched….. I would guess this game will be large in deciding who is or isn’t in playoffs

Rams have played 3 above avg teams losing 2 of them closely. Dragons have played a powderpuff schedule. Hard to get a read on this one. I predict high scoring affair. I say special teams decides the outcome

Is this still a rivalry?

Center made a play in defense when they had to but the difference in 2nd half was that Hampton had hurt ankle and was a non threat to run…..Really limited DF ability to move the ball consistently.

Center always plays smaller schools pre district. Just look at their schedule the past several years…. Center may be technically 4AD2 but the participation from their athletes is more like 3a….. Large portion of their enrollment is Hispanic …. Center has 6 or so special athletes but to compete at their division you need double that number. Coach Meeks is making strides at turning that program in right direction but it takes time to get evbody bought in and it also helps if a few better athletes from surrounding areas would “purple up” as well…..year in and year out the teams that are consistently dominant have few transfers that aren’t home grown kids… that’s not throwing dirt on any program but it’s just facts

Tenaha clock operator looks like a saint compared to Beckville…. That Bearcat cheats like hell and has for years

Perhaps home clock took place somewhat…. But I have seen that at other towns as well… but in tight games the clock management is costly. Everybody remembers the last :02 but the offense team needs to hustle to the line and walkn to sideline every play waste precious seconds you would like to have back at end of game…

I feel like this will be said every week but not many victories are guaranteed in HS sports. It’s still teens out there trying to execute a game plan. As good as Timpson was last year they almost fell to lil ole Joaquin. And Garrison gave em a scare as well. Joaquin is no threat this year but Garrison is much improved and a district rival. So the Dawgs may have some say in this situation before the year is finished….They don’t have to be better than Timpson always, just one time on any given night….
