Picked no higher than 3rd in the district. Some pundits have us lower than that in their pre-season polls. Fine.

Not a good start...
Rummel 28 University Lab 14 (1-0)
Big pass plays. New QB, off to a good start. But, gonna be a challenging season. We lost something like 40 seniors.
Rummel 21 Covington 0 (2-0)
HUGE challenge next week. Back to Mississippi.
Haynesville as made amends for two of the three defeats from 2015 - absolutely rolled North Webster (Springhill) and handled Union Parish (Farmerville)...
They have Junction City this week before they start district
Byrd graduate 95 ;) seniors, so we're not doing so hot!
And my beloved Crimson Tide beat Haughton...
If only the Saints had won and LSU lost it would of been a perfect weekend -
Byrd reloads. But, 95 seniors? Woe! :shocked2:
(I'm sure there was a slight exaggeration in that number, eh)
about 38 according to this roster: http://www.maxpreps.com/high-schools...-15/roster.htmQuote:

We've had a pretty good run for about five years and we've had a lot of talent and we've played a lot of people. Even if we had big turnover like we had this year, we had a lot of guys that played a lot. Not so much the case this year. A lot of our backups last year were seniors also. We don't have the experience, we have some, but not the experience we've had," explained Byrd head coach Mike Suggs.
Lack of experience, so that means they'll only be really good towards the end of the season. Just in time for the playoffs!
Have a ton of respect for Byrd, the football program and the fan support are top notch. I have experienced what it means to be an opponent of Byrd three times, all in the playoffs:
Rummel 21 Byrd 20
Rummel 24 Byrd 35
Rummel 23 Byrd 22
Pretty darn competitive series!
Good luck to the Jackets!
Rummel 50 Wayne County (Miss.) 13 (3-0)
Bye week. That school in New Jersey, where Rummel traveled to last year, bought out their return trip. I guess it's good to have a rest week with district play beginning now. Have some toughies ahead, especially Curtis and Martin.
D80 I'm very intrigued with the Curtis matchup -
I will be trying to follow it this coming Friday
My brother is the facility manager at the new Jefferson Performing Arts Center next to Zephyr Field.Quote:

Curtis is a heavy favorite. But, games are played on the field. We'll see.Quote:

Haynesville moves to 5-0 on the season with a 54-20 win over Darbonne Woods Charter
Sets up show down with Cedar Creek next week at Red Franklin-Memorial Stadium
Rummel 17 Jesuit 10 (6-0). Real struggle tonite.
Rummel 22 Martin 27 (6-1)
Exposed. Team lacks speed. Still, lost this one with 40 seconds left when a DB had both hands on a pass, should have been an easy INT. but he bobbled straight to a Martin WR for the GW TD. Ugh! Stupid way to lose a game. All kinds of goofy things happened, including missed calls by the refs that hurt. But, the bigger picture is this Raider team simply is not championship caliber. No trip to the Dome this year.
Next up....Curtis. I expect to see a great effort by the Raiders, to compete. But, I suspect we'll be 6-2 after next week.
Rummel 17 Curtis 31 (6-2)
Turnovers are killers. Scored tied at 17 in 4th qtr then back to back turnovers. Ugh! Curtis is the better team this year. Will probably win State.
Rummel 7 St. Aug 20 (6-3)
More fumbles. Beats anything I've ever seen. Smashed a school record for turnovers committed for a season. A dubious accomplishment. Limping into the playoffs.
Got to give a shout out to my Logansport Tigers, Undefeated in the regular season and Kevin McGee has them ready to party like it's 1995.
I see a showdown between Haynesville and Logansport. History has not been kind to my Tigers in this series but they are really good this year with some nice wins up in class.

Worst season in a decade. Glad it's over.
Haynesville and Oak Grove appear headed for a semi showdown
Looking for Kentwood and Logansport in the other semi
West Monroe just got cranked up.Quote:

The Eagles finished on a rush! Great defense. Wait! what? Ya mean the team playing the best defense won the championship? Who'd a thunk it!?
Now, is there another Trent Taylor there we can pick up?
The Charging Buccaneers rolled up 500 yards of total offense and blasted West Monroe, 50-21. It was Keytaon Thompson’s show for the Chargin’ Bucs as the Mississippi State commitment completed 16-27 for 303 yards and amassed a total of 473 yards and six scores on the way to MVP honors.
“I been at West Monroe for over 30 years, and that kid is the best QB we’ve played,” West Monroe coach Jerry Arledge said regarding Thompson. “If we played them 10 times, they’d beat us 10 times as long as No. 5 is the quarterback.”
So, we get to see this Thompson guy twice now when we play Moo State, nice. He was a man among boys. How did Moo State get this guy? Oh, that's right, Bama and LSU don't recruit good QBs.
Oh! I like that WM kid Taylor Young! Slated to baseball at Tech, but I'd like to see him on the gridiron too.
He will DEcommit.Quote:

Very good ballgame
I'm interest to see how the Tors bounce back losing the way they did with the # of seniors they lost
I wish Keytaon Thompson would have decommitted from Mississippi State. He actually enrolled early and participated in some of State's bowl practices. He made enough of an impression to where he might get some early playing time.Quote:
