I already predicted a 3rd round playoff repeat. I can agree with this. Why couldn't we have had that sloppy Carthage team that played against Glen Rose, AND have our starting quarterback playing? It might have been Gilmer winning that ring. Maybe 2023 will be the year the Buckeyes overcome. Who knows? I'm anxious to find out, though.

Have Coach Metzel drag the Dawgs to the Star and you’ll probably have a good chance of seeing the Dawgs play a sloppy game…. I hate that place 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that place I don’t know why, but we have struggled in that building though we’re still undefeated in that building. We’ve had some tight contests at The Star. I do like the restaurants and parking right there close and the field outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t guarantee a automatic win for Gilmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a game of matchups, and different teams match up differently. I just wish we could've had our full compliment of players. The results "may" have been the same either way, but at the very least, it "could've" been a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a definite possibility, but our defense was much better than the Glen Rose defense, IMO. We also play better when the opposition's defense isn't great. Carthage also "gave" momentum to Glen Rose with turnovers, and once that started it became a shootout kind of game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, Glen Rose folks would say that they "caused" the turnovers whereas, Gilmer could not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your QB was healthy enough to play and your coach chose another option……what player(s) were you missing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fumbles never should’ve happened. Our ball carriers were way too loose with the ball and I know Cuff got hit hard when he fumbled, but he still should not have dropped that ball.

Tennison could've played, but he could barely move around. That changed the dynamic he would've brought had he been healthy. Our coaches felt like Fluellen gave us the best option under those circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Timpson wins state next year, Bussey as a senior. They’ve been climbing for a few years, I hope they bust through! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
