Scoring Defense is a little misleading. Valley has played subs and JV players in a good portion of 4 of their six games.

As opposed to the others leaving their starting 6 defenders on field from first buzzer to final buzzer? Might any of these other schools rotate subs? 2 way street there rainjack, sorry. As far as playing JV players on a Friday night, are you guys losing that many JV games, and having to suit them up on Friday, or do you have some kids playing Thursday and Friday? I was just thinking it must be one of the two.

We have a couple of kids that float between JV and Varsity from week to week. We have had one JV game canceled.
I'm not talking about regular substitutions. I'm talking about calling off the dogs and letting some of the younger kids get some varsity experience.

You're missing my point. The scoring defense stat is a joke if you are trying to determine the best defense out of 4-5 teams that are fairly closely ranked. If they are all pretty good, everyone plays subs, and the scores allowed in a 45-point drubbing are meaningless.

Valley is good. Rankin and Ira are better. Valley's top 12 is probably better than anyone else's, but you only put 6 out there at a time. Both Ira and Rankin's Top 6 are better.
U are out of your mind if u believe this, rankin or Ira may have the best player on the field vs valley, doubtfull? But it's possible,but 2 thru 12 are way behind. Unless rankin or Ira have a dewayne miles, or Tyler Ethridge on the team, the best player on the field won't single handedly beat valleys talent and depth, good luck to Ira rankin bc sands who ever it may be, if it happens to be rankin or Ira work on the passing game!!

You missed the point. The defensive stats of course can't determine the best defense out of those used in the comparison. That was the point. It was a response to Donkgrind saying Div 1 result would be determined by either Throcks run defense getting better or Valley's passing defense getting better, and your guarantee that Valley will represent the west. I only meant to show there are other defenses that are comparable at this point. You have since answered the question in another thread however. Just bragging, I now understand you don't really believe it.

We'll find out who plays who and where in about 5 weeks. But until then - just looking at the respective districts - it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see who has a better than average shot at playing in week 11. All of the cheerleaders in this thread know that their team is more than likely a playoff team. Not just a playoff team, but any of them could make a run to the quarter-finals.
Ira, BC, Sands, Rankin, and WV will all have to beat each other up to get to the Semi's. Unless Sands pulls off a miracle and beats BC, they have the longest row to hoe. The rest of the bottom 5 (representing the bottom half of the west bracket) will have fairly easy first round games. Only 4 of the 5 can make it to the second round. So by the time they crown a regional champion, they will have beat the crap out of each other.
This is hardly the same discussion as that found in the ACHS thread.
Chill out Rain. Im just shaking things up a bit, stirring the pot. Yes Valley has a cake walk into post season, everyone knows that, but dont get ahead of yourself Valley probably wont play another full game until post season, so I would work a little on conditioning as well, hope they dont choke when they have to play 4 quarters or they have to finally play a team like Rankin or Ira that can actually run the ball down a teams throat because Valley as yet to see or defend a team that can do so and will not until post season. So the defense stats on the run are pretty much void thus far,Good luck to Valley though I know they are the team to beat for sure no doubts from me

You never made a point that I know of. How can I miss a point that was never made? I was replying to what Cowboy said. Nothing more. Nothing less. I said there was no real way to compare the defensive stats, then you say you were just using them as a comparison. Do what?
When you hang 400 yards rushing on the then #2 team in the state, and you allow 400 passing in the same 3 point game - I would say the statement about the winner of the next Throck-Valley matchup needing to improve their respective defensive weaknesses is quite accurate.
Oh I believe it, Sister. You should too. I usually don't brag on teams. But when I do - I'm usually right. I picked MC's state championship before district. I picked Silverton's trip to the semi's before the season started. I picked MC's latest trip to the semi's during district. I'm 3-0 over the last 4 years. I'll be 4-0 this December.

Sister, ok, I will take your weak name calling, not much choice here. The point was that Valley is right in the mix as one of the top teams, some allowing less points, some more. But they certainly don't have a bye straight to the finals. As for your prediction. Good Luck to you. I say Valley will not be in the finals.

It was more a movie quote than name calling - but whatever.
Notice how there is no Crowell, or Petersburg, or Meadow, or Follett in this pissing contest. If I ever implied Valley had a bye to the finals, I was wrong. They have to win 4 games to get to the finals. The first round will more than likely be Paducah. Second round will likely be Petersburg or Meadow. Third round will likely be Crowell for the much anticipated rematch.
Not really a bye straight to the finals, but Valley's path to the semi's should be the envy of the bottom half of the west bracket.
