I just wanted to take a second here and let people know the fine job the boys at Madison Southern High School are doing. My son graduated 2 years ago and I was on the former coach down there pretty hard. I thought that staff did some very good things while they were there but the wins just did not come. Coach Clark's senior class is made up of Coach Brumley's kids and those kids were fighters then and after watching several games this year they still are. Coach Clark has built a different mentality with the younger kids and I think it has paid off so far. Coach Clark does have the blessing of having probably the best young RB in the state and has done a good job raising the level excitement around the program, something I thought Brumley never did. I think Southern has 3 good solid years to look forward to, and if the 2 middle schools that feed into Southern now is any indication the Eagles could really be making some noise in the next 5 or 6 years. I know that many of the other coaches in the building think Coach Clark gets what he wants whenever he wants and that may be true, but Coach Clark is out working the other coaches in that school as well. I hope coaches down there take a page out of his book and start building these kids and this program up. The last two head coaches down there seemed to be to negative and not encouraging enough. I played here in the early 90's and am so glad that this school is hitting another good run of football like when Coach Elkin and when Coach Carter first got there. The difference this time is that Southern really does have a chance to make this last for several years.

 

GO EAGLES!

I am a little upset with how poorly Madison Southern looked. I thought we would get better, but it looks like the same old same old. I stayed for the entire game and neither team played with any heart...

 

BB, I'm glad that your above quote from after the Rockcastle scrimmage didn't sully your opinion on the entire season. That is why people shouldn't take much stock in the results/action of a scrimmage. Southern has improved as the year went along, especially once Harris truly became healthy, and the staff has figured out the best way to maximize his skill. It has been a pleasant surprise to see such improvement in Berea.

LOL...You are correct sir. I guess I am guilty of judging the book by the cover! Good luck to you guys Friday, it should be a tough game, and one I know Mark will have his boys ready for.

Garrard has done a really nice job stopping the run this season, but this week will probably be the best back they have seen. Garrard opened up their offense the last couple of weeks and hopefully will continue to do the same this week. I believe this should be a really good ball game.
