C'mon Carter County!

Good luck to both Carter County teams in the playoffs on Friday night; however, I have to ask what is going on with some of these internet predictions?

People are predicting a Comet victory at Mason Co? Really? Has that ever happened? They had "big" wins over East and Raceland and who else? Are they 40 pts. better than the last game at Mason? I hope so. And people are predicting a Raider victory over Russell? Really? When is the last time that happened? East has struggled offensively against everyone but the same Raceland team that West barely beat and also the hapless Cougars and outmanned Lions of Morgan and Lewis.

I guess my point would be for us Carter County fans to keep our enthusiasm under our collective hats about our average football teams until we actually prove that we can play with the Mason's and the Russell's. Maybe we could be leading at halftime or even playing against their starters late in the 4th quarter one time. Then maybe one day we will beat them. Then we could talk a little. Remember It's hard to sneak up on somone when you are making lots of noise!

There is nothing I would like better than for both teams to win and play one another in the playoffs at West...but lets just talk among ourselves and keep the bold predictions off the net. It looks pretty silly.

While I don't agree with the way you stated your thoughts, I do agree with what you are saying. Waking sleeping giants with bulletin board material is the last thing we need to do, East or West. I would have rather had both our fans lay low, and say the right thing, than try to fire up two superior teams, that may have been looking ahead to playing each other again. Either Carter county school winning would be a huge, and i do mean HUGE upset. Lets just hope to have a chance in the 4th quarter.
