It's the Post Season......Need some Football talk!!!

I’m thinking the Ava fans are like the Lamar fans in being ready for this game, somewhat excited for this round/game. But truly looking forward to the following week. I have nothing but respect for coach swofford, and the Ava bears. There’s nothing but conversation that will come from me. No crap from me. I honestly feel this side of the bracket became the hardest by far. I think Maryville is much better then people think. And Lafayette County is very good. You have Ava which would be tough. Lamar has FG (y’all know my feelings about them) which the media thinks is tough. Then you have a state title game that will feature at least a pretty peppery team.
I’m just ready to try the Ava McDonald’s. Maybe Bear up will meet me there for a bite to eat.

Having watched a lot of film of Seneca I agree they have gotten a lot better as the year progressed. Their QB has improved by leaps and bounds. They are physical, and very well coached. They remind me of Thayer in that Regard. We can ill afford to make mistakes and not play clean or IMO this game could get ugly. I am very concerned with Seneca's players who are obvious wrestlers. They play with balance and great hand placement technique wise so they are always around the all and tackle well. They formation the heck out of things on offense and can confuse a defense even though they are not that complicated in what they do play wise. This will clearly be the hardest game we have played since Ava.

This game is even money and Seneca could easily walk away with a district title.

Seneca made a nice Goal line stand against you guys at the end of the 1st qrt. and at the start of the 2nd qrt that was impressive. Then they flubbed up the mojo by throwing a TE arrow/pivot that was insanely inaccurate on 4 and really short. Lamar just has to much talent for them to hang long term. I love your Double G play and the shrunken Line Splits, depending on the situation. 

Mtn. View could get on a Roll and make the game uncomfortable for AVA from a Points perspective scoring a lot with Big Pass and Run plays now that the QB position is healthy, but I don't see how the Eagle Defense even begins to stop the AVA offense and the Bears physical play on the O-line. I may be wrong but I think MV has less than a 10% chance of beating he bears on the Road in Booger County. The only things MV has going for them is it is hard to beat a team twice like Ava will have to do and AVA might be looking to the Lamar game already. Which I doubt Coach Swoff is going to allow.

Well , This year has been a very strange year for MV/BT this year,and yes most of the team is healthy and we just starting to gell . We are just starting to hold our own against teams around our own size . We've been able to score against the bigger teams like Ava , Grove , and Thayer but just not quite able to put together a complete game against the better established running teams that can wear a smaller line down . We are very proud of our Eagles team and they have hung in there and waited for a lot of the team to get healthy again and I'm kind of proud and surprized they've made it this far and it wouldn't surprize me if we had a little more left in the tank .We'll see .

Grove vs Seneca could be a dandy. It will help the Panthers playing at home. Games at Seneca are a whole different animal. I think, overall, the Indians play a schedule that sees more physicality, but as we saw last week Grove is not afraid to mix it up. Panthers can not afford the penalties they had last week. They most play cleaner or their season would end. Indians look like a different team than the one that started the season. They have improved as much as anyone. Panthers will need to get more out of their running game this week. If they can do that, and control the line of scrimmage they will keep playing....

that is why I said: "but as we saw last week Grove is not afraid to mix it up"

Seneca is not Cassville or RS…they are physical. Wrestler types upfront and aggressive and quick.
