Alright ladies and gentlemen. Game Day Eve!!! Bonfire was awesome. Big crowd, inspirational speech by Coach Meeks, and the band provided the sound track. Cheerleaders did great and that place rocked a long time after the event was officially over! Work is done; hay is in the barn. WE. ARE. READY.

Back in the day memorex would do!

Y’all are cracking me up with the espionage would-be Belichick tactics! it’s called Hudl!

I checked and you are right. 9-3 in 2007 and the last time they advanced past the first round. That’s shocking when you really think about it. I’m pulling for them to win 2 and advance to round 3! I think Timpson will be a tough out but if they can get by them, who knows! It could happen. I’m going with Groveton 27-14.

Kind of a head scratcher.

When is the last time Groveton won a playoff game?

I was a little surprised Mount stayed in the Top 10 with the loss last week. I realize their main player didn't play, but 52-24 was a pretty big L.

TONIGHT! Bonfire at 7:30 to kick off the playoffs in downtown Alto behind the Dollar General and Family Dollar! Band, cheer, and football will all be there!

You didn’t vote in the poll! It’s Harleton so far. But probably you are being sarcastic!

Playoff t-shirts arrive on Wednesday! 342 pre-orders in 3 days!!!....plus 30 extra to just sell. That’s up from 225 last year. Alto folks love their football every year......but especially in a 10-0 season with a huge senior class! Excitement is through the roof! Thursday night can’t get here soon enough!

I’m counting on it!

That’s great! I read he went out during the Deweyville game. He must be a play maker. Glad he gets to return to help his team.

I’m going with Joaquin to avenge the earlier loss in the season. Hard to think that a Shelbyville team who started the season 7-1 could possibly lose the last 3 games of the season in a row. Kind of puts a damper on an otherwise successful season. Do most/all of the basketball players play football? Are those who do not play football already practicing basketball? Curious.

USA! USA! USA! THANKFUL for all veterans and their families and blessed to live in this great land. I have maxed out on “likes” for today or I would react to every single one of you!

Big Red rolls and sets up a re-match with Centerville (unless Big Sandy upsets Centerville, which I’m all for!). Then in a throwback game to yesteryear it’s ALTO/GROVETON Round 3! That’s the way I have my bracket filled out anyway.
