Bro I have watch the Andrew's tape you did not have that many players out. Mitchell got their a$$ handing to them lol
I hesitate getting in the middle of this back and forth but if you watch the game you'll see a Mitchell lineman get injured in about the second play and never return while there were already 2 or 3 starting lineman out before the game started and you'll notice from the first to second half especially on defense different numbers on the line were they moved them around trying fill in the gaps playing 10th graders who normally don't play much and maybe some of them may have played on JVs this year to get playing experience if they hadn't changed from 9th & 10th to 8th & 9th.
As a former lineman it always seemed to me some might not give them much thought compared to missing skilled players but missing lineman does make a difference even more so in high school and even more in 1A were your depth might not be as deep like in bigger schools.
Now you can call it an excuse fine I don't really care.
That said I do believe Andrews has a good team and it would be nice to see the two teams to meet in the playoffs both full strength I believe it would be a good game better played on Mitchell's part and closer one way or the other.
As far as the SMC and Mitchell I believe Mitchell at full strength can play with and has the chance to beat any of them in the playoffs but people on both sides can say this team will beat this team all they want but you don't know for sure anymore then I do.
This is all I'll say on this thread as bleedpurple60 said it's over been over I believe everyone has said all that can be said about it , Andrews has a big game for the next 4 weeks in the SMC gauntlet to prove themselves as a good team and a having a good shot as any team in SMC to win it and Mitchell has two weeks to prepare for probably the conference championship with their biggest rival.
I hope every team can stay healthy and all the games can be played.
