I don’t know much about Hart County and haven’t seen them play. They like to run it and play good defense which is exactly what FS wants to do as well. My question is what type of speed does Hart have? FS has won against bigger teams by outrunning them, and their loss against Greenwood was largely because the Gators had the speed to catch them from behind. Comparing scores doesn’t always tell the whole story, but I will listen to the people who watched Glasgow play both teams and pick FS 27-21.

I think the simplest fix would be to add the provision that if the RPI matches up 2 district foes in a later playoff round, that the host should be the team that placed higher in their common district.

FS has won this year largely due to their quick, aggressive defense forcing turnovers and with a little more balanced than usual offensive attack. Greenwood gave FS a dose of their own medicine tonight. The Wildcats fumbled away two first half possessions to trail 14-0 at the half. They got an interception and outscored the Gators in the second half and had two chances to tie or take the lead in the fourth quarter but Greenwood held them off. TelTel Long had some big plays for the Gators as expected. I figured all season this would probably be a loss but it was a much closer game than I thought it could have been. On to the big 3A District 2 championship game next week at home for FS against undefeated Hart County.

Halftime Greenwood leads 14-0. FS had two possessions in the first half not counting a kneel down with 2 seconds to go. Fumbled both times in Greenwood territory. Wildcats moving the ball but can’t hold on to it. Gators driving the ball methodically and converted a couple of long down and distance situations on their first drive. FS is playing in a homecoming game for the fourth game in a row. FS’s first, then at Butler County, at Glasgow and now at Greenwood. That must be some kind of record. The streak will end next week at home.
