UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!

[Platyrhynchos]

JR -

Classifications are based on a school's enrollment figures, so regardless of who they play in the regular season they are playing against similar-sized schools in the state playoffs.
And on the other end of the spectrum, since Kansas started allowing two teams from each district to qualify for the state playoffs, in class 4A I counted four teams with 3-6 records and one 4-5 team making the state playoffs. That is just wrong. There was even a 2-7 team in class 2-1A that made it, the only wins coming in district play.

There's good and bad to it.

Team out here goes 7-0 through the first seven weeks.....ranked as high as number 4 in the state......lose 2 of their 3 district games and don't make the playoffs.

Other team goes 0-7 through the first seven weeks.....win all 3 of their district games and make it in.

I like the idea in theory where you have to win your district games, but it makes the regular season insignificant.

BTW- The 72 points scored in the first quarter last night....set a national record.

Some millionare should fly in Southlake Carroll, Lakeland, Upper St. Clair or Jenks to face off against these idiots.

I think Smith Center would be reduced to bloody piles of snot. Oh, I'm sorry, make that crying, bloody piles of snot.

What kind of enrollment does those schools have?

Smith Center's enrollment, grades 10, 11 and 12, officially submitted on Sept. 20, 2007 was 112.

112.

 

[GB-Hack]

It sounds like going for two is just normal for them.

9 TDs in first quarter x 8 = 72.

I can't imagine they would have had 11 possessions (8 TDs + PAT + 3 FGs).

If safety's are being brought into the equation, then it could be 10TD's and a safety.

If the scores are all off the first or second play of the drive, and the defense is forcing fumbles off the opposing offense, it could be feasible to have 10 possesions in a quarter. Heck, they could be returning fumbles for touchdowns as well.

Exactly.

So this school should stop playing like they could beat God, JC and nine prophets.

40-0 will get you the state title as well.

I would be more curious to see Smith Center play Hutchinson, the three-time Class 6A champions (biggest class in Kansas) who have won 31 straight games. Enrollment 112 vs. enrollment 1,000-plus.

 

[goalmouth]

That's pretty impressive. We had a team go on a similar run about 25 years ago. They shut out and blew out every single opponent for 11 straight weeks. In the second round of the playoffs, they gave up a touchdown on the first drive of the game and went on to lose to a team (John Curtis Christian) nobody had really heard of at the time.

That team (John Curtis) has now won 24 state titles and is widely considered one of the best high school football programs in the country.

Was that Covington? I think I saw that game.

Hutch would roll all over Smith Center. Hutch coach Randy Dreiling said earlier in the year he could split his squad in two, and one would win Class 5A and the other Class 3A. He could be right, and I don't say that because I have a nephew who plays for them. ;D

And 93Devil ... Smith Center's offense is strictly a ground game, and incredibly deceptive. They are not grinding out 15-play, 80-yard drives. They score on a lot of long-yardage runs. What are you going to do, tell your second or third string tailback to fall down when he's in the clear and scooting for a touchdown?

Like the ****ing HB Dive is that hard to execute, with or without practicing it.

It's not. But when your offensive linemen are blowing open holes the size of Rhode Island, is the ****ing tailback supposed to do hand springs through them?

I just wanted to restate what I typed earlier.

 

[Platyrhynchos]

I'd take God, JC and nine prophets.
But with Smith Center's offense, I'd also take the over.

 

[kingcreole]

Word is ABC.com, Good Morning America and ESPN have contacted Smith Center for stories.

As for the score ... look, when the opponent is fumbling inside the 20 six times in the first quarter, what are you supposed to do? When the JV players get in the second half, what are they supposed to do? It's like the game Kansas beat Baylor earlier. Kansas scored on a rushing TD with 20 seconds left in a 58-10 (or something like that) rout.

Someone asked Guy Morriss about that TD. He said, "We could have tackled him."

 

[User 1019]

We beat the school my wife went to 71-6 once. Complete with a backward-thrown ball, and all.

Sportsmen, we weren't.

instead of hitting us with an "UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!" fanboy subject head, let's talk about something that might be remotely interesting

how are you covering this team so your stories are more readable than your threads?

No, it was Teurlings. I think I've heard stories of the Covington team you're talking about though.

I think I pulled an ab muscle laughing at that. Perfectly placed reference.
