M.L. King, Tucker emerge in 6-AAAAA; Warner Robins, Northside tune up for showdown
Here are five of the big stories from Week 10 in Class AAAAA:
*Region 6-AAAAA title picture a little clearer: M.L. King (8-0, 7-0) and Tucker (7-1, 6-1) moved to the top of the crowded field in the 6-AAAAA championship chase with victories on Friday against Stephenson and Miller Grove, respectively, and set up a huge matchup for next weekend when the Lions and Tigers meet at Hallford Stadium. A victory would give M.L. King the region title. Tucker will win the region if it beats M.L. King and then Mays the following weekend. Both should reach the playoffs. Miller Grove, Stephenson, Mays and Southwest DeKalb all have two or three region losses and will fight for the other two playoff spots.
*It’s rivalry week in Warner Robins: Northside and Warner Robins improved to 5-0 in 2-AAAAA on Friday to set up next week’s showdown that will determine the Region 2-AAAAA champion. Northside recorded its second consecutive shutout and fourth overall in beating Greenbrier 35-0. Warner Robins scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns to beat Grovetown 35-14. Warner Robins leads the city rivalry 33-21, but Northside has won nine of the past 11.
*First victory for Cambridge: The first-year school in Milton collected the first victory in the program’s brief history when the Bears beat North Springs 45-13. Cambridge had been outscored by an average of 44-9 during its 1-7 start. It was the 31st consecutive loss for North Springs, which hasn’t won a game since a 39-6 loss to Stone Mountain on Oct. 16, 2009 was overturned by forfeit.
*First victory for Winder-Barrow in a very long time: The Bulldoggs snapped what had been the longest active losing streak of any Class AAAAA team – 31 games – when they beat Cedar Shoals 31-21. Winder-Barrow had not won since beating Monroe Area 48-41 on Oct. 9, 2009. “It’s been a long time coming,” Winder-Barrow’s Soloman Sims told the Barrow Journal. “Needless to say, a victory feels really good.”
*Subregion title still up in the air: Union Grove took sole possession of first place in 4-AAAAA Division A with a 35-13 victory over Mundy’s Mill, but the Wolverines need to beat Drew next week to secure the subregion title. Drew will win the title if it beats Union Grove and Mundy’s Mill loses to Ola. Victories by Drew and Mundy’s Mill would create a three-way tie for first place.

THE "CANNON RULES"!!
October 27th, 2012
9:48 am
Walking out of SOUTH PAULDING’s stadium last night I was just GLAD to be doing it with another “W” on the scoreboard!!! EAST 20 / SOUTH PAULDING 16!!! RAIDERS still UNDEFEATED!!!
But this one was NOT easy…I struggle to complain on here about bad / questionable officials calling these games BUT thru the years we had had our share of…let’s just say “situations”. It seems the majority of the officials doing our games come from The Etowah Valley Football Assn. out of Cartersville Ga. Last night was one of those nights where from the start it appeared the officials were not sure how they wanted to make calls. By that I mean they would throw a flag (many times well after the play was over) then have a LONG conference between themselves before breaking up and making the call. They WOULD not blow many running plays dead consistently as the kids were pushing back and forth in bunches or in piles but then when other players jumped in to try and “finish” the play they would throw a flag for “piling on”!! It’s either a DEAD play or let them keep playing…you can’t have it both ways.
After this was called SEVERAL times it caused players to be afraid to finish a play or to assist when they though the play was over not wanting to be flagged for a late hit. This type officiating gave SOUTH PAULDING a late TD when it appeared the play was over and EAST players let up as the SOUTH PAULDING player was in a pile but since no one else piled on him he got up and ran in for a late TD…EAST blocked the extra point attempt but it made the game closer than it needed to be at that point.
This game was a defensive struggle from the start as SOUTH PAULDING has a pretty good “D” at stopping the run and EAST was determined to feed them a dose of Kamani Thomas ALL NIGHT! EAST didn’t try but a handful of passes all night and didn’t score any special team points, which is very odd.
Well a win is a win…and the RAIDERS are still UNDEFEATED at 8 / 0 with LITHIA SPRINGS next week then the NOV. 9th game in “THE BONEYARD” with ALLATOONA to decide the REGION CHAMPIONSHIP for 5 AAAAA!
TICK…TICK…TICK…BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
GO RAIDERS!!!!

Next week is HUGE!! Tucker gonna show that the loss to Stephenson was nothing but a admiration. That game 2 of our top 3 rushers were suspended from school that same week. Our star back was kicked off the team but we just needed a little time to get the backup runners ready for game action. Now we good and got MLK next week. Should be fun to watch. Get ur popcorn ready!!

Apparently, EAST and Allatoona were both looking past their opponents last night. The RAIDERS did their version of sleep walking…pulling out a 20-16 victory which really wasn’t that close. That was some of the worst officiating I have ever seen! I am at a loss to explain the lack of fire from the RAIDERS. Also not sure what message coach Goddard was trying to send by the 99% run game plan. If EAST is going to win the region and make a deep run in the playoffs, the passing attack will have to improve!
Thankfully for REGION 5, Allatoona was lucky to pull out an OT victory 20-17 over Hiram thanks to stuffing a fake field goal attempt at 6″ line.
Despite the sub-par performance by both teams last night, November 9th in “The Boneyard” should be fun!!!!
Go RAIDERS!!!!

We are the team to beat, I saw Tucker against Stephenson and Stephenson is very very bad. They may not make the playoffs, and they shouldn’t we don’t want an early exit from out region reps. But Tucker you have a Lion in your yard, and we bite. I think you will get the same thing the lil s guys got. But maybe a little closer, you have better coaches. 35-21, Region Champs MLK…….

70-7? Stephenson was leading MLK 14-7 (should’ve been 21-7) in the FIRST half. But when your coach starts making bad calls you start to lose momentum and the other team starts gaining it, Which is a HUGE game changer. I don’t think this game reflects Stephenson ability because they did beat Tucker. So if Tucker loses the region standing will be
1.MLK
2.Stephenson
3.Tucker
If they win it’s
1.Tucker
2.MLK
3.Stephenson

And Tucker what since would it make for you to talk crap about Stephenson when they BEAT you already????? It dosen’t matter WHO you had missing, Stephenson had starters missing at the Tucker game also. AND Stephenson has a young team (alot of sophmores) and they still won. What does that tell you?
You guys are not going to beat MLK, and you will end up BEHIND Stephenson in the region at #3

So what y’all beat us we got 2 state titles to y’all 0 playoff wins. LMAOF

Dboy…even though you have two state titles, you would not have had them in 5A!!! You didn’t have to play the same caliber teams that Stephenson and MLK had to play to get that title. They were always 4A schools who just had the talent to play up!!! You do have to give them that much! I’m just saying!!!

Dekalb all the way, that is ur theory. I say we could have won in in any division. It’s not like it’s that much difference between 5A and 6A. That’s student body #’s in the school doesn’t mean the teams up there are so much better. Bad analogy. Oh guess that’s why Stephenson and MLK stayed down cause they think it’s gravy to win state in the so call lower division. Well to those to schools who stayed down but should have played up win 1 then if it’s so much easier!! I will even argue that our division last year was better that MLK and Stephenson division in 5A last year.

@Dboy. . . . . .I do agree with you about the classifications. I believe that this 5A class has a lot more competition in it. However, there are teams that are in 6A that is on another level. I followed MLK last year and the quality of teams that they played last year made for an all around tough schedule. South Gwinnett, Collins Hill (A), East Coweta(A), Newnan(A), Valdosta(A), Stehphenson, Newton(A), Langston Hughes, Westlake. They were undefeated last year. They lost in the semi’s to a quality Lasseter team. I don’t want to take anything away from 5A but there are some power teams in 6A.

I agree uncle junior! What MLK king did last year was pretty good in the playoffs but how hard was their region in 5A last year not the state playoffs. Tucker region last was harder in my opinion. Now that they are in the same region it’s even harder but Tucker still stands their ground! We will see come Friday tho. We not any strangers to MLK ask them about those beatings they took when we played them in the glorified scrimmage. 21-0 at halftime before lighting struck and the game was called. That spread won’t work against us. Our players to good and our coaches are to good for that

Reading this blog, it is as if Stephenson has a bye this week.
Well a Mays win this week means they are in the playoffs. That same team that had MLK down in the forth and should have beaten SWD by ten.
I’ll see somebody’s team at Lakewood friday, Mays will be there.

@ dboy scott- no offense at all when I say this but what quality teams did you guys play last yr that makes you think yall schedule last yr was alot harder than MLK..and no disrespect when I say this but I was at the stephenson and tucker game..Yall didnt score til the forth qtr.. Now keep in mind they defense on yall and realize we beat them 49-28.. so when I estimate those odds I honestly do feel confident that Tucker is goin to get a hurtful rude awakenin when they play us.. But aye man im not a trash talker neither is most of the mlk fans, we dont have to make songs and music videos to prove our point..We just show up on the field and do what we do best amd thats demolish and heartbreak feelings..Cmon man you already know its gonna be a hard game to beat us..YOU ALREADI KNOW!! Im not takin nuthin away from TUCKER becausr TUCKER is a hell of a team I give them that..and they can be lethal..but My PERSONAL OPINION ..it want be enuff to handle the MIGHTY LIONS of M….L…K!!!

As I stated on another blog, MLK has no balanced offense. The QB doesn’t read defenses, it’s predetermined who he is gonna throw to. He chucks the ball down down field and the WRs adjust and makes plays on the ball. Nothing wrong with that, but we have the DBs to match up. MLK doesn’t block good on passing downs. and it will be a lot of pressure on the QB accompanied by tight coverage. I look for no less than 3 int’s and 6 sack.
Your defense plays well, but they do over peruse and with our misdirection plays we will get some big gains. By the second half you D will be worn down and tired of tackling #25.
And you can’t compare how another team played against someone else. That’s meaningless, different teams cause different match ups. Miller Grove passed all over Stephenson but not against Tucker.

@Tiger4Life…
Without getting ahead of ourselves as everyone has a LOT of football to play before we get to this point…according to the playoff bracket, the # 2 Team in REGION 6 in Round 2 plays the # 1 Team from Region 5 (if both teams were to win the first round game)…if current standings hold that would put TUCKER playing EAST in “THE BONEYARD!!!
That would be an interesting match-up…just something to think on…there’s a lot of football between now and Round 2.

I said it once I’ll say it twice if your play calling is timid more than likely you going to loose. There was never any adjustments that Stephenson made throughtout the game. One thing I did like was the I-formation that gave MLK trouble but didn’t go back into the I until 4th quarter again when they scored. Now on onto the defense. Very young in the secondary with a freshman stating. Ummm. Thats speaks volumes. Well anyway, Stephenson will do well in state playoffs. I expect Stephenson to make it out of the first & second round this year..I said this before I have seen the number 3 & 4 seeds make it all the way to the State Finals, so nothing is impossible. The bottom line is to get there and let the chips fall where they may.

Are there any teams in AAAAA or AAAAAA that are kind of regular with an equal amount of juniors and seniors that play? I say this because it seems every time there is a lost; the losing team claims they had mostly freshman and sophmores starters. I hear this year after year from the same teams. It is as if these guys never get promoted. LOL

@ Gamer = Lovejoy. We play our players. Some, like in south Georgia, they put stock in the JV. At Lovejoy, if you suit up and play on friday night, you play varsity. That is how you build experience. Let the young ones play early and by the time they are juniors and seniors, they are ready. Our seniors played as freshmen and gained valuable experience. Unlike schools such as Grayson, who I think caught lightning in a bottle last year, do not play anyone but juniors and seniors. This is a coaching thing. Some coach’s have it and some don’t. It has served Lovejoy well playing the under classmen. We have 33 seniors, 18 juniors, 27 sophomores and 13 freshmen. Winning the way we do, we are allowed opportunities to play the kids and it is a plus. If you are a talent, it is seen early and are already at the level where he can learn the system in live situations. Nothing like game speed for teaching.

What’s the deal with these delusional MAYS fans….you guy’s are finshed. It’s between Miller Grove and SWD this week for the final playoff spot. MAYS fans are always talking about how their team should have beaten someone even after they have lost to the team. You guys will always be the fifth or sixth best team in the region against the Dekalb teams…..always have always will be…..check the record. Your record against SWD over the years is 1-12 reference Georgia high school football history webpage (http://ghsfha.org/index.php) your season is over………wait till next year.

@Jab 65 – 2 is funny! Not until that statement was I sure that you are a dope smoker.
This region is one of the most competitive that I have seen in a long time. We have six teams that can compete on any given Friday. I watched Mays play Miller Grove and they looked like they could have beaten anyone that night. Then problem is they are not consistent. That is the difference beteen a #1 seed and a #4 seed. However, I wouldn’t sleep on them if I were Stephenson because we’re not. I expect a competitive game with them at the end of the season @swatguy.
The fans in this region are funny. We try to act like we respect other teams as we give lip service on this blog but at the end of the day we feel our team can beat any team. This is starting to feel like the presidential election. I think even before the debates most people know who they are going to vote for.
What I predict this Friday night is a very good game that is low scoring. Our defense is the best in the region (check the stats before you debate this) and we have yet to give up over two touchdowns. We will see if MLK will fight back after being punched in the mouth. We will not back down and we will keep coming.

@rwdekalb …..actually the playoff sceneraio is like this and it is very complicated
-SWD needs to beat MG and Dunwood and, Mays has to lose one of their last two for SWD to get 4th seed, a loss to MG eliminates SWD
-Mays needs to win out to capture the fouth,but 1 loss by Mays in 1 of the last 2 games and they need SWD to lose one of their last 2 and MG to lose 1 in order to capture 4th seed
-Miller grove needs to win out in order to capture 4th a loss to SWD all but eliminates MG but they would still technically have a shot but it would require SWD to lose against Dunwoody or Mays to beat Stephenson
-If Mays and MG wins out Stephenson would be eliminated
Here is where it gets tricky: If Mays beat Stephenson and SWD beats MG all four teams could potentially be in a four way tie for the last 2 playoffs spots depending on the results of the final week
.
So yea still a lot of football left to be decided. LOL

East Pauldimg Coaches: Now is your time to shine.
You have been given the keys to a Ferrari and you’ve got to stop grinding the gears. You have at your disposal a community that loves and supports the team from, money to attendance and beyond. You have been left a wonderfully stocked program including one of the best weight facilities in the state, and talent across the roster. Big strong agile linemen a product of the weigh room for 5 years. Quick receivers a D1 tight end, an absolute hammer for a fullback, one of the top RBs in the state, quick Wes and kick return mean, aggressive good tackling LBs, stud def linemen, a potential all state kicker and here is the cherry on top of it all. You have a Junior QB whose athletic accomplishments have been near legendary in Paulding county since he was 7 or 8. he started as a freshmanat free safety becaus he was too good to keep off the field. He led his team to the quarter finals last year as a sophomore and now nearing then end of his junior year and near 20 starts he has earned the right to take one more of the role he has been destined for for years. Coaches, pleas take the shackles off #15 and let him show you how smart you coaches are. Kyler ans Kamani are wonderful runners, but when then opposition can stack 8-9 in the box every play because you only use play action 6-9 times a game to throw the ball you are using the X factor that Mitch Webb has and that is his Tebow like running and option skills. You have to trust more of the offense to him. He has a fantastically strong arm, can sense pressure better now, and above all has been the leader of this same group of kids since grade school. Give him the ball and let him do what we all know he can do.

Let’s settle this talk about teams with perceived young talent. For many years, most HS football teams are made up of freshmen, sophomore, juniors, & seniors. The different is, most of the successful PROGRAMS, younger players are being prep for their time, either on the practice field (scout team), freshmen & JV games and the occasion varsity game in mop up time. This formula usually leads to a football program consistent high level play and winning attitude. Grant it, there are occasional above average HS younger talent, that is ready to step in on Friday Nights, but that’s a rarity at the BIG school levels, i.e. 6A, 5A & 4A.
Also, I don’t think any blogger(s), who truly understand and embraces HS football would make EXCUSSES for a lost, on their team being young. If anything, they should be letting others, know there is more talent coming in the near future.
Looking at this year’s JV results, the next varsity players, Tucker should remain as one of the TOP varsity football team, challenging for region titles and deep playoff runs:
Tucker 32 – MLK 22
Tucker 20 – Stephenson 12
Tucker 12 – SWD 0
It appears the JV Tigers won the region championship and Nov 2nd their older brothers handled their business. Damn, them Tucker Tigers keep coming year after year after year. (LOL)

@JAB – I just listed why successful programs come at you year after year. Winning tradition is molded on LaVista Rd. Another thing, isn’t it a good formula to allow 9th grades an opportunity grow? I don’t know about Stephenson, but at Tucker, I’ve seen 9th grades, who couldn’t put on shoulder pads correctly, now playing on Saturday. The Tiger DEN breeds yearly and with that, Tucker may not win the region yearly, but if you want to be crown region champs, you will circle the game you have to play Tucker.

We will need to play disciplined defense and set the tone from the beginning. We are ranked #1 because we have played good football so far but let’s not take them lightly. Coach Kinsler will make sure the Eagles don’t take them lightly either. So let’s get a demon! Northside 28 – Warner Robins 10

@rwdekalb @JAB You guys need to check your math. A win for Mays over Stephenson puts Mays in the playoffs, PERIOD. Mays would have the tiebreaker over MG, and Stephenson. If MG wins against SWD Stephenson is out. If SWD wins, the next week determines their fates.
Mays only have two region loses. Check your math.

@ swat guy it still not that simple, a win vs Stephenson doesn’t clinch a spot for Mays if SWD wins.
Mays would still have to beat Tucker to clinch. If Mays loses to Tucker it would create a tie-breaker situation of some type depending who wins the last week of the season between SWD, Stephenson, MG.
Looking at the final week schedule
Stephenson vs N. Atlanta (stephenson wins easily)
SWD vs Dunwoody (SWD wins easily)
MG vs MLK (I give edge to MLK)
If that scenario happens its a three way tie for the 3rd and 4th spot with MG being eliminated
If MG beats MLK it would be a 4 way tie for the 3rd and 4th spots

October 29th, 2012

@Old Gold Panther Ok here it is. Mays beat Stephenson, Mays will finish with 3 loses at most. AT MOST. Stephenson will have 3 thus Mays wins that tiebreaker.
MG wins out it gives SWD 4 loses (thus eliminiated).
If SWD beats MG, MG has 3 loses. Mays wins the tiebreaker over MG.
So (this is soooo hard) Mays win they have the tiebreaker over Stephenson and MG, If MG beat SWDs SWD stays home.
Why is this so hard to understand?

“If SWD beats MG, MG has 3 loses. Mays wins the tiebreaker over MG.”

IT’S SIMPLE…Let EAST play EAST football…OPEN up the offense, the “D” will handle the other team let the OFFENSE shine behind the leadership of Mitchell Webb!!!
This weeks game against LITHIA SPRINGS gives the Coach’s an excellent opportunity to turn the offense loose and let them “tune-up”…they will need EVERY weapon we got next week in “THE BONEYARD” when ALLATOONA comes to visit!!!

I’ve only seen East play twice this year, (North and Rome). North game seemed like a typical first game and there was an obviously very conservation game plan. I get it….. then I kept reading about how they were sloppy and unfocused and was worrying. So I come out and watch them put a beat down on Rome in one of the best games they have ever played and see Webb throwing on target on all 8 passes he thru. All three incompletions were on the money long balls that were dropped, two for probable touchdowns. The five he did complete, the first was a designed rollout he completed fort a first down on the run, and the other four all went for touchdowns. I was wanting to see more but when you are scoring at will on the ground and through the air it is hard to say they should be throwing it more. All in all I’m like…… Cool they have it figured out.
Then come the South game(not taking anything from them, or intended disrespect), but it sounds like the coaches went back to week 1 play calling. Maybe…..just maybe…. And I’m hoping the coaches are doing it be design to not give up too much for opponents on tape. Where I’d the wildcat formation go?, you need be able to execute your entire playbook and the only way to become efficient at it is by doing so in real games. I say, put it out there on tape, don’t keep it under wraps. We have the senior leadership and the QB to impose our will on teams, so lets do it and stop trying to be to tricky by only using the portion of the playbook the coaches ‘think’ is needed to get through a game.

I’ll put one word of caution out here about Lithia Springs. Having now seen all except Villa Rica and Allatoona play, I will give Lithia Springs a lot of credit. They are the absolute hardest hitting team I’ve seen play in the region. They play HARD nosed football and and given the opportunity then will put you on your backside. They’d re 1-7, and probably the best 1 win team I’ve seen. Their issue isn’t with heart or effort it is purely a lack of talent. They simply can’t match up and put up enough points to put a real scare in East. Yes East will win the game but they will definitely be sore the next day. It is a good game to buckle down quick and put the score out of reach early. No use getting someone hurt by needing to play the starters too long.

As I stated on another blog, it’s not a passing attack. What MLK do is called “throw it up and my guy should come down with it” They are not taught to read the defenses over there. Just check the record and look at the film. Time after time the QB throws to the guy in double coverage when it’s a guy wide open, the WR just makes a play on the ball over a less athletic player. It WILL NOT take you to DOME.
This is proven by this evidence…
Jonquel Dawson from ML King holds 2nd place in the STATE with 8,798 yds. passing and 93 passings touchdowns for a career and he DID NOT have ONE D1 offer.

@Cannon and Realistic Fan
October 30th, 2012
1:03 pm
have been a Raider fan for a long time and all season I have attended all the EP Raider games and I have been more than disappointed here are my reasons why.
1) NO INTENSITY!!!!! Our defense is really lacking intense hitting or movement to the ball with the exception of a couple namely #24 and #48. All the others are not even in the ready position and are caught on their heels constantly.
2) Why oh why is #30 NOT PLAYING DEFENSE? I understand him not being on the field the entire game since he is playing full back, and doing a great job, but good lord he is the BEST LINEBACKER on the team. WTH????????? He can even play safety. If the coach doesn’t start using him more we will not make it past the second round of play-off.
3) #15, the best quarterback to ever step foot into EPHS, is being underutilized which is doing nothing more than crippling the team. We have seen what folks have talked about for years of the greatness of this guy coupled with the players he has played with since grade school. But only on a hand full of occasions. The connection is there USE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4) NO DICIPLINE, NO DICIPLINE, NO DICIPLINE. I have very good friends that work for the school and they say the football players are no longer as respectful and the staff is having a hard time controlling some of them in the class room. The faculty may not have liked Reid but they knew he would never put up with ANY PLAYER acting out in the class room. This flows over to the field and is evident in the amount of penalties.
Just a few thoughts

@EP Commenter
I really have to agree. It is such a shame also. This is a collection of talent rarely seen. Yes the team is not very deep and maybe the plan all along has been to get by where they can play second teamers all season and not over work or risk injury to the 5-7 guys that probably should be playing both ways. Maybe against Allatoona they will unleash the full capability of the beast. Yes it means playing 24, 48, 29, 30 and 15 both ways but when push comes to shove you have to play your 11 best on each side of the ball, spell them for a down or series here and there but you’ve got to ride your best as long as you can and leave no bullets in the chamber.

Well Santa Clause didn’t come on Oct 26th for the Jaguars and worry sits in, as he knows Nov 4th, sends his Jaguars on the road.

On the point about the MLK QB J Dawson, I saw him in person and that kid has the full range of skills. He is a victim of a much deeper and complex system of indifference towards young African American men seeking to play the QB position….and that is not a race card,either.
Last point, whenever I follow HS teams with a large amount of black kids, I always focus on the kicking game and how that seems to hurt them in the playoffs.

I think the ‘75 Northside-Robins game was the best one that I ever attended. It had been several years since Northside had beaten the Demons.
I’m with you there brother! I was in the band that year, we beat them 20-18, will never forget that game and the execitement that went with it! That was the first year we were ranked #1 in the state, and even now I get some measure of satisfaction in seeing Macon Central get its butt beat LOL…
I hope that our Eagle fans (with the exception of ENR – I LOOOOOOOVE to hear him talk, he’s damned funny) accept victory or defeat with grace, as big as our rivalry is, I want Warner Robins, HOCO, Veterans, Perry and Peach County to kick ass against the rest of the state – show them what Middle Georgia football is all about!
It’s GREAT to be a Northside Eagle! Go Blue, and a shout out to the Bluewind band!

MLK last qb Jonquel Dawson was 5′8 at the most. That’s why he didn’t get the offers that a 6′4″ guy would get.. He is the all time leading passer in Dekalb and #2 in state history… Says alot about his ability despite his size. the qb they have now isn’t much bigger 5′9 I think and he is playing just as good. He is one of the top passers in the county and that’s a testament to the offense that he is in..
Tiger4life you sound like a bitter old man, lol. MLK doesn’t just throw the ball up and hope a receiver makes a play. They are timing based, precision perfect passing.. ask anyone that has played them the past 3 years. Tucker better get prepared to cover all night because they won’t be able to blitz like they want to

@LionKing, @Mr.Johnson, @Jab, first thing I need to do is give all of you a spell checker program for Christmas. Now down to business.
Don’t think for one minute that we have forgotten how to play football over here just because we lost that “1″ game to Stephenson. There were some circumstances that led us to the dissmal offensive performances that we displayed on that night. Rest assured that those issues have been addressed and things will be different.
When we show up on Friday night you will see a different team. I mean that literally and figuratively. You are about to know the fear that’s in the mind of a TIGERS prey when they are being stalked in the tall grass.
Shhhhhhhh, we walk so softly that you don’t hear us approaching, our sights are firmly fixed on something in the distance. What could it be? It looks like a gimpy lion. Quiet! He don’t even see us coming. As we get closer I can hear the Lions heart pounding louder, and LOUDER! Steady now, don’t ever break a blade of grass as we position ourselves for the attack. We are closer now and I can see the lions eyes… steady…. steady…. then there’s complete silence. It’s Friday night and the lights come on, immediately the TIGERS pounce on the LIONS with swiftness and agility, the hunt is on! IT’s over… the TIGERS have subdued the Lions and the game is over! Tucker tigers 27, MLK Lions 17. We move on to next weeks feast when we prepare for some Raider meat!
That’s how it is going down on Friday night. If Jab is not careful we could circle back for some Jaguar meat as well. Remember, you didn’t completely knock us out, you left plenty of life in these Tigers. We are mended and ready to attack!!!
Have a great game everybody, Halford is going to be rocking on Friday night! I’ll see you on the 50 yard line!

When the ball is released pause and see who’s open and who he throws the ball to. He eyes down who he’s throwing from the snap until his release. And watch the amazing catches that Tibbs and Bray come down with. Turning 5 yard hitch routes to 60 yard touchdowns, that’s not the QB, that’s the WR making plays.
Also Tucker played the #1 passer in Dekalb and shut him down already and we will do the same to the #2 passer. We have played MLK in preseason and passing league. Trust that we are ready.
And I can see you guys haven’t been sleeping well posting at 4 in the morning, having nightmares about the MIGHTY TUCKER TIGERS. It’s okay, it will all be over soon

@NsBlue: Yeah, David Norman to Tony Davezan.
Thats neat to hear that you were in the band. I was a sophomore that year,and I also remember having Weatherford for a class. I don’t remember anything negative about her. I walked to school back then and remember being concerned about getting “egged” by Demons.
I saw The Who a month after that game. What a show. Pete Townshend is the man or was the man.

Forgive me for doing this fellow bloggers but I was floored when I stumbled back to a early October blog to find that my name and son was being smeared by @TUCKERPops.
@TuckerPops, if you are listening I want you to know that you are an idiot! Take the Tucker out of your blog name and come up with something else. I don’t defend everything that is said against Tucker and I am very honest in every post that I have made. You are misguided and a loon!
Lastly, you don’t know me or my son so don’t speak to me as if you do! My son was never benched by coach Stephens. As a matter of fact my son was a personal favorite of coach Stephens. The only problem that coach Stephens has with my son was that he was only a 10th grader last year and he wanted to get his senior players on the field. However, that didn’t detour him from starting my son in multiple games.
Now crawl back into that hole you came out of and leave the Tucker Nation alone!
