@Ths91 Tuscola appears to be well coached. Admittedly I've only watched the defense, but on film it looks like they like to pin their ears back and go, go, go. #72 looks like their best DL but I'm also impressed with the soph. #9, and #34 at LB is a joy to watch. #0 also has a nose for the ball.

Question: what is the biggest difference between this years team and last years? I ask because of the 1st round game last year barely squeaking by East Burke. It seems Tuscola has taken a big leap...If I had to compare it to anyone, I would compare their leap to West Iredell's from last year to this year. I believe you both had a 2nd round exit and now you are both highly seeded and highly favored.

Is it a natural progression leap? Better senior leadership? Better team cohesion? What are you seeing from the sideline as a super fan?

Thanks.

I agree with you on the QB. Seemed like we got worse instead of better .Beat a good Mountain Heritage team.should have beat Enka even though they have had the best season in years..I don't think any of those coaches or players worked all year to go out like they did.We have had a lot worse years.With all those kids returning next year we should be pretty good.Time will tell.
Someone asked about Brett .He won in the first round ,think they scored 70 points.

I won't lie, after watching Pisgah week 1, i figured they would go on to have a jam up season. They played almost perfectly that game. I think they only had 2 penalties, 0 turnovers and pretty much did whatever they wanted. Granted, the defense of MH has gotten somewhat better, most of those kids just were not ready for that moment/stage.

I can't see a world in which Pisgah isn't markedly improved next year. Some vital reps for lots of Juniors. I don't know much about what Tuscola has but assume they'll return quite a bit of talent as well. I could see those two squads battling it out for conference next year.

Last year the HC wanted to make it all about his QB and his air attack offense and this year he's feeding Sam Trantham. Sam has played a lot of travel football and has a lot of experience playing off the mountain. He's always been a game changing player. I'm legit surprised he isn't playing defense b/c he's just as good on that side of the ball.

IMO it’s a combination of all of that. And they bring a grit to the game that’s been missing. And they don’t quit. They have all seemed to have bought in and it shows. No one thought we would
Be where we are. And yes I will be on the chains.
Come by and say hi. I’m the fat guy with a buzz cut. 😂

Franklin will win by as much as they want but will likely rest some dudes in the 2nd half so I think they win by 14+

Having watched Maiden film and Tuscola film I think this game is close. I’m not sure Tuscola will have played anyone with this kind of passing attack and they might impact them. I will take Tuscola in a close one but wouldn’t be shocked if Maiden won. They’ve played a brutal schedule and that typically pays off

There’s no planet where South Point doesn’t win. Again, tough schedule and they beat TCR. SM isn’t remotely in this realm of football. Heck of a season and I think them installing Mountain Heritage’s offense was a smart move and gives them something great to build off.

And for all the maiden fans. Our concession stand has what’s called a Mountie burger. And a Mountie dog. I’m hooked on them . Chili , cheese , onions and jalepenos. Gotta have one tonight!!!
