Nederland has in the past, gotten better as the year progresses. This hasn’t been a typical year but they have shown signs of focusing and grabbing momentum and running with it. So maybe the playoff lights will wake up the echoes cheering their name.

I think it will be a good fit. He knows the organization and they know him. His managerial history is so so. So I’m hoping he’s learned a little bit. I think he’d be a players coach. We’ll see. I’m pulling for him.

If everyone is healthy it seems like a toss-up. Athens QB is a run-first dual threat QB (decent passer) who went out with an ankle last week. Tried to come back in twice and couldn't go. Not sure if he's playing this week, and if he is I'm not sure what % he'll be at. If he's not playing or can't run well that's going to severely limit their offense. I've also heard one of Athens' running backs has a broken hand, and their best D-lineman was out last week with injury. Not sure of his status for this week. So I guess we'll see. We have one key linebacker with an ankle injury, and that's pretty much it apart from our O-lineman who's arm was broken against WOS several weeks ago. Regardless of who is on the field hopefully we take care of business and advance.

My thoughts. Can Nederland win? Of course they can. They can as long as they play like they did against Crawford, PNG and the last half of Dayton. Now, if they play like they did in the first half of Dayton, well that's a different story. Nederland can't get too far behind and expect to make a comeback against a good Huntsville team. But, again, it's anyone's guess which Nederland team shows up. Hopefully, though, they've learned their lesson.

NFHS does all HJ home games. Watched many of them last year. It should be there.

It’s a spy in the building 👀

According to MaxPreps, Warren beat Hardin in consecutive years from 2022-2023 by multiple scores... Not the beatdowns that Grayland put on them though!

Oh my. Those are some beatings. Grayland was fun to watch.

This could be a close game, go either way. I can't recall if I responded to the poll already, but it no longer takes votes. Anyway if I was a betting man I'd bet on Huntsville. Btw I wonder if their new stadium is in working order this season. Namely the play clocks.

EC’s offense needs to play like Hardin and control the clock to keep Fairfield’s offense off the field. Hopefully they won’t turn the ball over on offense and their athletes can cover the pass on defense or it’ll be another first round exit for the Bucs
