regaleagle Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 And now Eagleborn will get to see Melissa football......like they haven't been here before, Lol. I got Melissa to go deep......so they should get thru this round no problem....IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alto44 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Rusk has a good team this year, but I don’t think they have any thing for Melissa. They beat Celina and Aubrey by around 20, they are going to be to much for Rusk. I hope I’m wrong, but I don’t think I will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did notice that Rusks linemen go both ways which could hurt them if Melissa goes up tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regaleagle Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Always tough to defend against a team with a balanced attack like Melissa runs. Argyle has the same kind of offensive attack, and so does Carthage. Not comparing these teams.....just the fact that teams with balanced attacks seem to do better in playoff football when the cream rises every week.

RedRed Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Probably the biggest plus in my mind about this Melissa team is how physical they have become. Poor Dallas Lincoln tapped out pretty quick tonight. The Lincoln running backs were tapping out and being layed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketgrad06 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Every time I have seen everyone picking against Rusk this year they have came out strong. They have played some great ball and have been in every game. I was really surprised that they did this well tonight. I still think Melissa takes this one but I don’t think they will roll through this one easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagles26 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 We expect to play tough teams at this time of year. We also gladly accept the underdog role, as we have all season. Our kids will be fired up and ready to play, getting blown out won't happen. If you were at the Pitt game, you didn't get to see our offense because we only ran about 25 offensive plays before the starters came out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatum_DirtyBird Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Pulling for Rusk but Melissa could be too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniballer Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I have been amazed by the lack of respect for Rusk as the season has gone along. Not everyone obviously, but these kids are 9-2 now and completely dominated Pittsburg last night. Melissa has been the trendy pick to make a run this year, but it could just as easily be Rusk. I will take the Eagles again, and as 26 said, let them keep playing the underdog role. It’s worked well for them so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRed Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 Not to be arrogant but after watching Rusk on film if Melissa comes out hitting on all cylinders it could be a long night for Rusk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope you're hitting on all cylinders, we wouldn't want it any other way. You guys are underestimating these young men from Rusk. Nobody has beat us 28+ all year let alone 14. After watching Melissa, I don't think they're better than Jasper or Madisonville. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not discrediting the your kids at all. I just know that if Melissa is on they are really dang good. Also Melissa's starters have only played two full games all year. Typically the starts are pulled in the 3qt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a good game against a good team, our kids will be ready. We just got 2 of our better players back against Pitt, that didn't play in district. The game got ugly fast last night so they didn't play much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
