I don’t want to be 4th even if it meant we get to play Sabine, White Oak or LE first round.

I propose we give WO the 4th seed. They stand as much of a chance as any of us at beating Koff

Also.....round 1 was a head scratcher to me. Yall had an enormous speed advantage and continued to run right into the teeth of their defense. When yall did go outside it would hit for huge yardage or 6. Yet the next drive....3 straight runs between the tackles and punt. Kam is a scat back first. Yes, he can break tackles inside but if you get him in space he's dangerous. 

Ehhh, I didn’t see him break a lot of tackles. That was one thing I liked, if you get a hand on him, he going down.

I felt different. I was kinda impressed how much he had improved in that department. We just swarmed him......then got out in front and they had to go to the air and it kinda took him outta the game to a degree. 

[Eagle8]

But it had more to do with his balance and quick elusivness than power.

We getting 4th I'm telling y'all. May try for 3rd. We don't know how to act with a decent district now. Lol. We did lose our DC, there's some advantage. Hoping we get one of the district 8 DC's.

[Eagle8]

@Byron smith 11-0 Tatum vs 9-1 Jefferson in Tatum friday night. You gonna be on off days? I think I'ma go see it. Tatum won the first game 56-50. Should be a good game. Its senior night. We'll only graduate 2.

Our girls are pretty rowdy as well. They beat Arp 81-10 last night to finish 27-1. Will be interesting to see what they do in the playoffs.

While I agree yall are going from a district with as much grit as the Spice Girls to a district that generally isn't decided til week 11.....with what yall got coming back, I'ma have to ask you to shut the hell up and get in the driver seat. Everybody else in that district is playing for 2nd and you know it.

They also have a stud running back who didn’t even contribute last year due to injury. Errrbody in this region is playing for 2nd.

Run game will be there. How much the QB matures in a year will be the biggest thing. He's gotta learn to stay calm and play from behind. When yall were up he was solid. When yall were down he tried forcing things that weren't there when he shoulda used his legs or took a sack. How much he grows up will play a huge role. 

i agree with you 100% . He turns the ball over when pressure gets to him. I never understood why he doesn’t run even in the playoff game he decided to run and scored easily

I'm just messing with y'all. Kinda funny that nobody wants that 4th spot. Anything can happen during the season though. The only way I can see us not going anywhere is if Jones gets hurt but then you still have Hall and Tennison. 

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the district plays out. I think MV will surprise some folks if they keep on going like they did the last few games they played. The 2nd and 3rd spots for each district will be some great games between us in bi-district. Still trying to figure out who will be the deep playoff teams in the 3rd/4th rounds.

I’m hoping it takes a few years for the staff to get things going.

Malakoff is the only team I would bet money on making it to the regional final. I do not think there is another clear cut favorite at this time.

Nobody wants the 4 spot in any district, in any class.
