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. Dont forget pitts best player..the qb didnt play..makes a big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle34 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Melissa must be much improved. Remember when Gilmer was in that weak District. Not buying the hype. Rusk in the upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRed Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 In all reality this will be a huge test for Melissa because Rusk I believe will be the fastest team we have faced so far. Princeton was fast, but I don't think they had as many fast kids as Rusk will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After playing both of y'all.....I thought yalls QB was just as good of an athlete as Jimmerson was. Rusk has impressed me this year. Very talented football team.

bulldog1068 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm going with Rusk in this one . After watching them totally controlling my Pirates I have all the confidence that not only will they beat Melissa but I don't think it will be close.

H3llR4z0r Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I just can't believe the hype at this point. Melissa floored a Dallas Lincoln team that lost to Ferris. I just can't find much in that to suggest they will be any better than I thought they were. Rusk however, beat a pretty solid Pitt team, handily. Pitt has depth issues, but Pitt has some big, physical players. Their receivers are big bodies, and the QB can move. Should give you an idea of what you're up against. I'm picking Rusk by 10. This will be Melissa's chance to prove to me how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not forget Melissa beat Celina by 21 and should have been 28. Argyle only beat Celina by 15 and Argyle could not stop Celinas qb from running which Melissa stoned him. Melissa also gave up 0 passing yards to Celina. Not saying this proves anything, but Celina went toe to toe with the #2 team in 4a d1 and only lost by 15 and again Melissa beat Celina by 21.

In the same breath, you could make an argument about how both Celina and Melissa lost to LC, who went to Gilmer the week after both, and took a beating they will never forget (I was there). Gilmer played sloppier that game than any other I have seen them in this season (I've seen them 3 times), and they beat LC 60-7. I'm just saying, I will believe in Melissa a lot more when they beat Rusk. I'm not impressed with Celina either. I don't think they will come within 3 TDs of Jasper. But, one thing is certain, I will be here if I'm wrong to eat my crow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't have 1 or 2 starters out and beat Gilmer much less 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uniballer Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Man, it's been a long time since I could come on Smoaky and see people picking Rusk to win a second round playoff game!!! Proud of my hometown boys, hope they can keep it going!!! I posted earlier in this thread that I read about Melissa being the sleeper in the region and how they were the "Darlings" but I can see Rusk taking that crown from them this week with a big win... Good luck to the boys, hopefully I find my way down 287 and in the stands! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, because I went just to see those particular players. LC was supposed to be this talent ridden team. They looked really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
