Just saw the worst HS football game of my life...

[Boltergeist]

I know Dixon HS had a pretty long losing streak. Spanned over like, 5 years I think. May have been them, who knows? Unless you're not in NC at all, in which case, obviously it's not.

Nope, Savanna, Illinois had a 7 year losing streak

So, I'm in Madison county. I figured, "It's Friday, let's go to a local HS football game." So I make the 10 minute trip to Madison High School for the conference opener against Polk County. Let me break down the teams so you understand.

Polk County

Maybe 25-30 man roster

Good deal of speed. Some size, but not a lot.

Good game plan, execution wasn't great, but athleticism made up for it.

A defense that was fundamentally sound, but soft as hell. Like a rabbit pissing on a bale of cotton when they hit.

Madison High

-20 man roster, at the most.

-No size.

-Some speed (DBs and their RB, mostly).

-No semblance of a game plan. I-formation to spread, to single back, back to I, etc.

-Terrible play calling. Reminds me of the Panthers. Opening drive, went 60 yards, in the I-formation, running the football for a TD. Then, stopped running.

-Defense was a 5-3 with two stand-up defensive ends. It was like there was no "scheme" for them. They blitzed their 3 LBs up the middle nearly every play. Not a bad idea, if you're ends are containing outside. They weren't, and the coaches never corrected it. Got torched on the ground on their first series. 1 play, 50 yards, TD.

-So soft when they hit that it was laughable.

Left in the 3rd quarter, Polk 29 Madison 8. But it was worse than that.

If either of these teams had to play a GOOD team, they'd get killed. Just had to get all this out and vent the frustration I had after watching a badly coached game and a badly executed game. Feel free to leave pie if you took the time to read that.

Polk vs Madison huh???? I graduated from Erwin

I was between the Madison game and the Erwin game. Figured Madison was closer. Wish I would have just drove to Erwin though. Maybe that game wouldn't have been so crappy.

If Erwins QB didn't have that seperated shoulder (non throwing arm)...our play would be much better. This is the first time in years, Erwin has not been below mediocrity. I'm pretty stoked about it.

I'm just suprised that they got the cows off of the field in time for the game to start this week.

Madison is perinially the worst team in WNC, possibly the whole state. To be fair though, there are only 12 kids in the entire school who don't have mutated genes from "family interaction".

My old HS was a beast when I played... and is a beast right now. 20 game win streak including a 62-20 win over Myers Park last night.

Go bulldogs!

Watching a high school team play like the Panthers sounds a lot better than watching the Panthers play like a high school team.

I kind of got that impression. Usually, cops are throwing people out for dipping or chewing on school grounds. I saw a cop give some guy a pinch. It was...strange.

As far as looks...the only place I've seen more "homely" people was WV...and it wasn't far from that.

I won a state title with Lincolnton High :D there

My high school is pushing for their 4th SC in a row this year.

My team is ranked 2nd in the 1A AP polls after this past Friday. Not bad.

[LiQuiD]

My school was so small we didn't even have a football team. Had 23 students in my graduating class.

I can hear you all laughing and it's deafening...

Vance HS here in Charlotte is like Duke Football. Made up of a lot of rich kids who go out and play at football. Every so often they get lucky and win one. (I think the last time they won one, was against the NC School for the Blind.) Sorry, that's acutally an insult against the NC School for the Blind Football team.
