I know a lot of parents are pulling for Burke to use Rice more on Offense. But I am all for making sure he and Gregg both enter the playoffs healthy. He has been used this season as a decoy and as the primary, and very seldomly did anyone fall for it. I think it would be malpractice to use either one of those two any more than is absolutely necessary in this next game. That was a physical stretch of district play. He is capable sure, but this game means nothing to either team. Dixie does have a nice sized QB2 that has shown some flash. Got hurt last season early. Still getting his feet under him but is a very nice heir apparent to Gregg after next season. Dixie’s record is right about where everyone predicted them to be this season. However, nobody expected them to be this competitive. Staff has done well. Champs this year, not likely. Still a year or two away possibly, but from last season to now is night and day I’ll take it. I’ll also take Dixie in a close one on senior night 28-24.

Saw QB2 in a JV game at HHS. Looks the part. Will be a nice option in the future with a Varsity line to work behind.

Thanks MC44. You are correct, he said not likely. But that doesn’t answer my question.
 

I still pose my question to Finkle Ray, champs of what? What are they not likely to be champs of this year, but are a year or two away possibly? 5A state champs? District champs? Or champs of something else? Just an honest question. I’m curious how successful others think the team will be in coming years. 

Who does Highlands need to Win for RPI purposes? Ryle because they are 6A? Or does it matter?

I think Highlands is a lock at #1 in RPI.

State

Ryle wins this one in a close one. QB play and good Defense win games. 

Senior night start at 6pm. I would plan on arriving somewhat early.

23 to 16 Ryle over Dixie at this time in the poll. 

I had said on other broadcasts we were trying to get this game, but I have a conflict Friday so no games on (859) this week.  The best of health to these two teams.  Looking forward to BGP updates.  Should be a good one.

Anyone posting updates?

Everyone thought you were. I guess that’s a no?

6-0 dixie start of 2nd
