Three unanswered trivia questions, what happened? Is Joey making these too tough? Maybe he'll lighten up on ya'll this week so we can get more people involved. I got a new laptop that I can easily bring home now in cases of bad weather or I just feel like it.
I went to the AC/TE game last Friday night and I understood the fact that the referees had a big job that night, they knew that this was a cross town rivalry and I heard them many times telling the players to watch their mouths...and that was from BOTH sides. What most people don't understand is the fact that most of these kids are friends and it's just kids giving each other some old fashion ribbing. I saw several girls from each school hugging each other before the game. Adults make WAY to much of what all went on during the game. Of course this is my opinion and I think I'm pretty close. My thoughts on the game are.......Trinity needs more game discipline, they had way too many penalties, the speed is there and everybody knows that speed kills! The young quarterback is going to be really good, he has a great arm for a sophomore and time along with more experience will only make him better. On the other side of the ball (ACCS) they showed some signs of promise, a better team than last year and they'll get better and better each year.
Cathedral started off their season last Thursday night with a big win against an always tough opponent in Dexter. I was out of town but I received reports from some serious football fanatics that gave me the rundown on the game. Cathedral is playing defense better this year than in a long time and this could be the difference come play-off time.
Natchez High's young sophomore quarterback showed signs of a seasoned veteran last Friday night. Jevon Washington used to ride around the golf course with his grandfather Tom Matthews at Duncan Park 10 or so years ago and Tom would let him hit a few balls along the way. I don't think he's worried about gold anymore. He guided his team to a big win and he had a good defense to back him up. I can't wait to see Jevon in action, I may bring him a couple of golf balls.
Vidalia played a scrimmage last Saturday and held tight with an always strong Delhi Charter. Don't ever count out Faircloth & Co. Vidalia is due and this could be the year!
Next Up!!!!
ACCS at Centreville
Cathedral at Salem
Natchez High at Gulf Port
Trinity host Huntington
Vidalia at Block
All of this is pending Hurricane Gustav, Gulf Port could possibly come here, if the game is even played at all.
We've got some great guys and gals on The Board that post scores, make predictions, give analyses of games and make some great conversations about sports. I thank all of ya'll for your time and dedication to help make MissLouSports.Com the place to go for information.
I thank ya'll for sending me updates last Friday night, I didn't get as many last Friday night as I expected but, I did get some great updates and I passed them along to those that asked. I really enjoy doing this, I just need more people from both public and private to get me these scores as the games are going on. I will start taking my new laptop to the games in hopes that I can post scores as I get them on The Board.
I watched some of the LSU/App. State game and watched Ridley on special teams, he looks like a beast out there! He got 3 carries late in the game but one carry was called back, I think he was credited for 2 carries for 15 yds. It would have been 3 for 20 yds. I think we'll see more of him as the season rolls on though.
Ole Miss handled Memphis with no problems this year as did USM over ULL but, I can't say much about Miss. State except that it's going to be along year for the Dogs!!!
The SEC is stacking up some great teams this year, which will further the talk about a play-off system that works! I ain't going to beat this dead horse this early in the season but, it won't be long!
That's all I got for this week, ya'll be careful during the storm and I'll catch ya'll later!!!!
