I don't need any of you guys to agree with me. I just don't see how you can set and tell me that this isn't middlesboro's year. You have a big surprise ahead of you all of you.

What do you want us to say? "You know, there's just no way possible that Somerset can beat Middlesboro. Nevermind that the Jumpers are 10-0 vs the rest of the district the past 2 years, return a lot of experienced starters and play the Jackets at home. No, that doesn't matter. Middlesboro returns too many starters. We should just go ahead and cancel the district games, award the championship to Middlesboro and skip ahead to the playoffs....In April." There, is that what you want?



Middlesboro is going to have a fine team, but you don't get credit for playing close in football. Save the talk, bring your team over and prove it on the field. Until then Somerset is still district champs. You'll get your shot but I don't think you'll see anyone in Purple and Gold concede anything just because you're bringing back a bunch of starters from a 4-7 team.
