  1. Congrats to beechwood. I figured it would be a close game with the winner being unknown. Beechwood was having none of that's congrats go and go win state.
  2. Only one VOR. I would say Franklin Simpson has as much or more. I'm sure you are right and they do have a lot of speed. I haven't seen beechwood at all so I would not know. But I do know Russellville can can fly. Like I said on previous post, if Russellville wants to make it to western this is there year. Beechwood is loaded with younger talent from what I've read on here and Russellville is loaded with seniors.
  3. Agree with MHS, sadly this year, a lot of Russellville opponents had down years. In previous years, Murray and fort Campbell were much better. I figured their season would probably end this week until I went to the franklin Simpson game. They held them in check for three quarters and in my opinion, basically got wore down by the 4th. Going into that game, I figured it would be a quick W for Franklin Simpson. They didn't move the ball very good that game but I do not think there is another defense as talented as Franklin Simpson in the 1a class. Most years Russellville has problems on the defensive side of the ball, but holding a dynamic offense (if they chose to be, they could just run it down your throat if you can't stop the run) like Franklin in check for three quarters should give the panthers plenty of optimism for this week. Has beechwood played a team this year with Russellville's speed? Also, have they seen a wing T team this year? If not that is a huge advantage for Russellville. I'm sure mayfield fans remember, it is a lot more difficult facing the panthers the first time In comparison to the second.
  4. I don't know the extent of souths injuries, but I do know their QB has had injury problems throughout the year. Theatrically, let's say a team has a starting qb, rb, lb, cb, etc. out for a extended period of time. How is that considered an excuse? Clearly you are at your best when your best players are on the field right? I'm used to keeping up with Russellville and if ONE of their key players are out, they are clearly a different team. Yes I know the difference between 1a and 4a but it relates. No excuses, Mac is right, the computers do not know. Regardless I think hop town is better then what people give them credit for. Look at their game vs county and look at the total offensive yards. Big difference and they still lose. That does not happen often when there is that big difference. Don't remember the exact numbers, but it was pretty lopsided for hop town. I would guarantee turnovers made the difference, not sure tho exactly how it played out. Defensively they have played well all season as well, they have a former Russellville coordinator and he has done a fantastic job! I'll take hop-town 28-21
  5. Cannot disagree with you, very possible that it will. If Russellville doesn't make the finals this year, it will be quite sometime till they will have a chance to get back. They graduate most of their team and from what I read on here, beechwood is loaded with younger talent.
  6. Glad the panthers showed up for 3/4 of the game tonight. I believe the speculation about them should be silenced after tonight. May not look like it on the scoreboard but they proved a point to everybody that attended. On to the new season! Goodluck to franklin Simpson as well, you have a heck of a squad! Hope both are playing in bowling green here in a couple of weeks!
  7. Completely agree. If the same thing happens this year I would not be surprised. What I think everyone fails to realize is that IMO any team in 1A would suffer the same fate if they were to play franklin Simpson. I will say it again, they are the real deal and don't be surprised if the score is similar to last year or worse.
  8. IMO franklin would beat any team in 1A by multiple touchdowns.
  9. This is basically the same team that gave beechwood a tough game last year. I believe they graduated 4 kids.
  10. That game wasn't As close as the final score indicted. Butler played from behind 2-3 td basically the whole game. No doubt number 1 in 1a if they win this game. Do I think that will happen? No, but that is why the game is played.
  11. The most important thing for the panthers is to focus on taking care of the football. They are playing a lot of games right now where they can score from anywhere on the field and when you run into a franklin Simpson, you will have to put drives together and protect the ball. Running the wing t, fumbling can become an issue. After protection of the football I would say keeping everyone healthy. With the amount of kids that go both ways for the panthers, if anybody goes down it could be a huge blow. Russellville for the past 10 years have fielded pretty talented teams. They never can seem to win the big game. 09 and 10 narrow loses to pudacah tilghman where they lead by double digits and lose narrowly. After that it was mayfield, had 2-3 chances to beat them and couldn't take advantage (no disrespect to mayfield, I know how good they were) Yes, they made the semi finals last year but mayfield is now gone. Beechwood looks to be feeling those shoes. Franklin Simpson is a big game in the eyes of everyone. Two 9-0 teams, how could it not be? I just hope this is the year they take advantage and win a "big game". It would be huge going into the playoffs. Last thing they need is to get blown out and go into the playoffs with that type of momentum.
  12. I'm hoping the Russellville franklin game is a good game. Really want Russellville do win or keep it close just to get some respect. I'm worried that the panthers may get exposed on the 28th. Both teams returned the majority of their teams from last year, and we saw how that one ended.
  13. B I don't know if there is a team in 1A that could keep it respectable vs Franklin Simpson. They are the real deal this year.
  14. Nobody can disagree with the move. Nobody knows how good Russellville is. We will find out the last week of the season.
