Thanksgiving Truths in D1

[Hunting Eagle]

If you look at the data - particularly the points scored against a team, I'm thinking Abbott may well be better than Rankin, Jonesboro, Garden City and Irion County.

Happy and Westbrook... Maybe not. The next couple of weeks is going to be some good ball. Whoever comes out on top will surely have earned it. There are 5-6 teams that could pull it off.

I'm not cutting Abbott down but if they have played a weaker schedule then yes they will have a higher points scored number.

 

[Hunting Eagle]

This far into the playoffs, it is about if a team can play as a team for 4 quarters. Can they play without letting the other team in their heads and who wants it more mentality.
Just my opinion

I've seen Happy on film. Very impressive for a 10 man squad.

Gordon has some young play makers…. They could shock the state this weekend.

 

[SixerFixer]

Shame that May won't be there to find out how weak the schedule was

 

[Tigerfan85]

Now now. You know you wouldn’t want May to be there. Best thing for y’all is we are bouncing the round ball. Abbott vs May has never gone well for y’all. Best just concentrate on Gordon. Good luck.

Don't tell them, but I'm just happy they're still in there, always good to hear some SMFB talk over turkey.

Happy Thanksgiving ya'll!

I’m sitting here reading these comments and it kinda makes me chuckle, I mean no disrespect to anyone playing but can you really call yourself a champ when there’s two divisions instead having one like we use to, I remember back then you had to go through everyone to be called a champ nowadays it seems like they made it easy for schools to get championships, how I wish they would have it like they use to from way back when, then and only then if you won state you could say I beat them instead of saying this team had an easy schedule or whatever the case may be, anyway good luck to all the teams out there play strong and stay safe.

Man, do I wish they would play each champ in one final game, even if just for bragging rights.

I agree, then you can say you’re state champions

Abbott squeaks out a win over a very young but talented Gordon. So after that I’m going with winner of IC vs Jonesboro to represent East at State.

Gordon came to play. I was listening off and on and man them boys put up a heck of a fight.

Maybe not overrated but definitely under tested. Like I said previously I hope they are everything they say and more. I hope IC and Jonesboro are as well cause I’m telling ya the west has definitely been in battles all season. They know how to respond when punched in the mouth. That builds tons of character and trust in a team. Hard to beat talent, coaches, character, trust and belief. To be clear I’m not saying Abbott deliberately had an easy schedule we all get that scheduling is tuff. Districts are what they are, you either have talented teams or ya don’t. I think some people here think that some of us are disrespecting Abbott. Not the case at all. I say it again I hope Abbott or Jonesboro or IC can win state. I’m an East guy. But overall this season in my opinion the west has had the tougher schedule

After watching them play tonight, I’ll say it… Overrated is the correct term. No disrespect to Gordon, a very young team who gave them a fight, but there are multiple teams out west who would wipe the floor with Abbott. In the East….May, IC, Jonesboro I feel could all handle them easily. Not impressed at all. IC/Jonesboro will determine who represents the East

And while we are talking about playing the small schools against the larger ones, why don’t we just have all the classifications 1A-6A play each other too. This argument always cracks me up.

So ya, that's ridiculous now a days with so many small schools but I do see your point. Would be hard to have bigger districts and more district games than regular season games but it could be done. Will it ever happen, No.

In the East….May, IC, Jonesboro I feel could all handle them fairly easily. Not impressed at all. IC/Jonesboro will determine who represents the East

Yep
