week 1 upsets

From the Fence:

It most certainly did not.......
I was also unaware that half the Jayton team were freshman, so..... shame on me for my lack of research.

I didn’t know that myself. Kinda scary to think about though. I noticed several teams are on the younger side this season. Hopefully they (all the teams and players) gain experience, confidence and stay healthy.

Noticed alot of younger teams as well, but the experience and playing time will help build better programs for all of 6man.

Looking forward to the SS county shootout. RS vs Cherokee 10/7.

Be careful for what you wish for …

Potentially a game that will last more than 2 quarters. A lot can happen in 5 weeks ... but hopefully these two teams will have their best players on the field.

The biggest upset 2 years in a row in week 1 is officially the Dave Campbell's Texas Football app. It is absolutely HORRIBLE!!!

Every comment on their Facebook page is nothing but complaints about the app

You can say that about every team in 6-man Football . Nature of the beast.

My first upset pick will probably rain fire on my head. I think Knox City will take Strawn by twenty or more. I watched this group of seniors from Knox City when they were freshmen. Six kids on their JV with no subs. All they did was wear the other team down physically until they were dominating in the fourth quarter. I think it will take more than 2 scrimmages to get Strawn up to playoff speed.

I think Iredell is woefully under rated. According to DCTF they did not lose a starter. They have at least 3 freshmen coming up that are good enough to force playing time. One of them (unless he has been recruited somewhere else) was the fastest 7th grader I have ever seen. We are talking sub 24 in the 200 meter as a 7th grader. I think Iredell will take Gustine in Gustine in a close game.

I have had a theory for years that the home field is worth 2 TDs. You can count that as 12 points or 16 points depending on your kicking game. I think May at Jayton has become a you pick 'em game. Should be a really good game!

Knox City has 1 senior. The class you are referring to are Juniors.

True. But my point is that my preference would be that both teams have their best players so that there are no excuses when one or the other gets beat.

I stand corrected. The result was the same.
