jacketgrad06 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Was really pulling for the eagles here. Been a great season for them. 5 turnovers in any game is almost a death sentence for sure against a good team in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniballer Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Personal foul penalty means Melissa will kick from the Rusk 45, touchback with 1:46 left in the game Melissa is going to face Gilmer next week, should be a fun one Melissa has a ton of sophomores, these guys are not going away for a while!

uniballer Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Rusk had a strong season in 2017. Hancock has done a great job getting those guys to believe they can win each week and he has turned the program around from what it had been under the previous regime. I have known the kids on this team since they were 4 or 5 years old for the most part and I am so happy for those kids and their families. Great things are on the horizon if this program continues to trend upwards! Glad to see that the town has gotten back behind the program and the kids and I am excited to see what they do in 2018! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that I saw from an outsider was that they had some discipline and sportsmanship. That seemed to be lacking some in the past few years. That also may be in part to some of the kids and having parents that back it I am not for sure. I do know there was some discipline lacking even in the coaching staff in a couple of the previous regimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3llR4z0r Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Well props to Melissa. They won a game I didn't think they would. Can't believe Rusk turned the ball over so many times. Next week is the real test Melissa. It's showtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alto44 Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Rusk had a good year, maybe the best team I’ve seen Rusk put on the field in along time. Congrats to both teams on a hard fought game, Rusk fought harder than maybe ever in my opinion. Turnovers are a killer, and in the playoffs you need depth. Keep fighting to get better and do it again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRed Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Rusk was very good and lots of speed. I was impressed with how hard they played. I was also impressed with the oline they did very good blocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
