I agree with this

This game delivered

I agree — both defenses have actually played very physically and well considering the explosive offenses they’ve faced. Just a bunch of big busted plays on both sides

The Bellville defense is actually pretty dang good

Beating Carthage in that grueling slugfest had to have been such a confidence boost.

100% agree Its so cool to see those good but not great teams slowly evolve into greatness when its all on the line

Henderson is ridiculously fast — I know he’s the 100m champ but dang it’s jarring seeing him when he busts loose. He has a bit more power too than you’d think when watching him make contact. Just so impressed with this game

I’m loving this game, a little Bias toward Gilmer but I do like seeing a team that’s never won it going after it. Plus slot T is cool to watch at times. I wouldn’t want to see it every week though.

I kinda agree, deep deep safety for when they inevitably bust loose

THIS GAME

This game is working its way to be a classic. It has overtime written all over it

This is the best state championship game so far — both teams playing HARD

Wow this is a heck of a game so far — very very physical

Does any Gilmer faithful know what y’all’s fastest guy runs in the 100m?

Probably most excited for this game outside of the Terry Bussey show

So who all does Timpson have returning on the Offense and Defense

Gilmer is going to bust the scoreboard on SnailVille

Gilmer is going to bust the scoreboard on Bellville

Kirt, not sure if you’ll read this, but as much as I admire the 2003 Garrison team, and as much as leading up to this I thought this years Timpson team was not as good as 2003s Garrison team — the further the year has went the closer I think that theoretical game would be if Timpson has Garner and Howard. What I’m trying to say is, is I I’m torn between either this Timpson team or 2003s garrison team being the best small school football team I’ve ever seen play with my own eyes. The 2000 Haynesville Louisiana Golden Tornadoes, the year Logansport won state, the year alto won state, the year Tenaha won state with Chavis McCollister come to mind as all amazing teams I’ve seen. But I swear — This Timpson team, fully healthy with Garnet and Howard in the lineup — this timpson team wins the ring in 3a. The same could be said for 2003 garrison. I don’t see who stops this Timpson offense with all its weapons. I’m going to say this years Timpson team, with full roster, is the best small school offense I’ve ever seen assembled.

That was for sure top 5 best defenses I’ve ever seen in small school ball. And probably the best offense I’ve ever seen.

This is sort of a strawman — no one is stating anything except that our closest 2 neighbors have a state ring (Logansport and Tenaha), 3 out of the 4 next closest neighbors also have rings (Carthage, Timpson, Garrison — Center not having one) This was more of the statement

Has Shelbyville or Center ever gone to state or won state?

Queue the “Albany versus Timpson” talk in T minus 90 minutes.

Joaquin when in the world will you get yours!!!!!??? Joaquin is literally SURROUNDED by state champs. One of these days man

I find it so Ironic. That in 2003 if Garrison Bulldogs don’t exist — Timpson likely wins the state championship that year. And now, 20 years later, if Timpson Bears did not exist, Garrison likely wins the state championship. Two great programs, 7 miles apart.
