The GHSA is cruel with no sense of humor
Somehow someway they made the numbers pop up to where Tattnall and FPD play again in the first round of State.
How stupid is that
While it is true that the two teams may would have played each other somewhere again this year, they end up playing in the first round.
Why is there not a rule to say that two teams from the same region cannot play in the first round ? How can you tell me that the points system that the GHSA uses is accurate because from what I see, no one understands it in the first place. 24 teams are in the playoffs and we have eight games this weekend.
Surely this could have been avoided
The poll is a joke and it has been a joke since they started it.
So we get to see FPD and Tattnall play yet again.
I feel like both teams were surprised by where they ended up . FPD was pretty safe getting a home game after the initial rankings came out but Tattnall figured they were going on the road. I think they had already started to prepare a bit for Mount Vernon and playing a afternoon game because Mount Vernon doesn't have lights.
Then around 2 pm, it became official and all of a sudden, everyone saw what no one expected.
So who does this match-up favor. FPD was able to beat Tattnall last year and I would not bet against them mainly because they seemed to figure some things out in the first game, such as being able to run the ball right at Tattnall. That meshes well with the best passer in the city in Dalton Cox and maybe the best two receivers in Maurice Gordon and Titus Moore and the Vikings are tough to beat.
However the Vikings lost yet another game last Friday night because they could not stop Lincoln County/s offense, just like they couldn't stop Tattnall the last time they played. When FPD loses it is because they cant stop the opposing team.
And they probably wont stop Tattnall.
Tattnall has had three excruciating losses over the last three weeks and sooner or later some luck has got to change. These kids are not the most talented team around here, but they play for each other and they battle, and then they battle a little more. After that, well they continue to battle.
I see Tattnall as a beat down team with not a lot of skill players that should have no chance to win this football game.
Anyone want to bet me that this game goes into the final few minutes with both teams having a chance to win ?
Here is hoping for a great game.
I agree, two teams from same region playing first round is pure lunacy!
