Good Job Rankin, I had yall picked to beat them and go to State! Way to keep WV quiet!

Congratulations Rankin.

Who exactly were yall missing?? I have watched lots of film and it appears to me everyone was there that is there now? Yall lost a player in that game that is now back which is great. He was a great player and glad he got back healthy. Just curious since this tends to be the most popular excuse when a team does seem to get beat, who was missing?

What do you have to say now kitty Kats got put to sleep all that talk that’s why the games are played buddy

Water Valley didn't make their extra points. No excuses, just answering your question. One of those things you have to do against a tough opponent like Rankin.

I appreciate the response fellas and yeah the extra points add up quick! I was mostly referring to the blowout in the first game and tonight! I saw where a couple guys said that rankin had players out the first game! Did both teams have all there players tonight? Was this game streamed anywhere?

Yes it was on NFHS. Coach Keith said they were healthy the first time they played, WV just beat them. Rankin just showed up to play, avenging both early season losses during the playoffs.

David faced 1 giant. Gordon has several giants. Not gonna happen.

Yup….
And the reason David Vs Goliath is so famous is because it hardly ever happens. Normally Goliath just kicks the S out of David.

 

[Reddevil4life23]

Reddevil was right Rankin is a different team!

Said it all along

Water Valley got punched in the mouth early in the first half Rankin made most of their extra points and WV didn’t but the Devils proved that they belonged from the first meeting with WV…. Hats off to WV they made it a game in the fourth quarter but ran out of time

Rankin has peaked throughout the playoffs. Their two losses to BC and WV early in the year taught them some things. They grew, they learned, they adjusted and it all came together at the right time. They’ve had injuries throughout the year which forced adjustments, but as kids came back from injury they were all willing to adjust again. It created a lot of options with everyone doing whatever they could to get the job done. It’s a lesson in how heart, fight, and truly playing as a team can make a world of difference.

Avalos is cooking over in West Texas! He's has become one of the best six-man coaches in this league.

Said it all along

It is actually impressive that while being so wrong.. you were also very right
