Blake Barnett fixing to chunk the ball for So Fla against Tulsa on ESPN.

BB stinking the pacle up. Really is not having a good night so far. Tulsa leads USF 10-3 at the half.

Just got back from a local pizza pacle (with my date, LF).

Looks like I didn't miss much.

 :popcorn2:

Austin 20-3 over Huntsville at the half.

Boy, Barnett throws the ball up for grabs a lot!

S Fla 10   Tulsa 17   3rd Q

Tulsa just got another TD.  Now lead by 14 late in the 3rd...

I watched Barnett against Ga Tech. He played a good game. He looks terrible tonight. Granted, his O line is getting beat badly all night, but when he has time, he's hitting nothing.

Nice drive by USF, capped off by a 2 yd TD run by Barnett. XP was blocked. 24-16 Tulsa with about 7 minutes left in the game.

I tried watching baseball instead. 

Bad football > Baseball

 :lol2: I agree.

BB playing better. he scores again to make it 24-22 with 2:09 left. 2 point conversion no good.

Thanks much to his WR.

What a finish! BB hits McCants on a huge pass to set up the winning FG. USF up 25-24 with 2 seconds left.

Final. 25-24 USF. Great game!

Pmull, what was the final in the Austin game?

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a6/10/b4/a610b4036ebd72792b15c45a8cb21487.gif)

40-3

(https://i.pinimg.com/originals/a6/10/b4/a610b4036ebd72792b15c45a8cb21487.gif)

Austin won 40-3. They are 6-1 (4-0). They are already in the playoffs. We are paired with Region 3 so it is important to keep winning to avoid a first game road game at Hewitt-Trusville, Thompson or Hoover.

Seems they are getting better as the season goes on.

Here are the East Alabama scores from the Anniston Star:
Oxford 47, Shades Valley 13, Final

Anniston 7, White Plains 0, Final

Saks 30, Weaver 7, Final

Jacksonville 22, Oneonta 21, Final

Southside 35, Alexandria 14, Final

Donoho 45, Talladega County Central 18, Final

Piedmont 37, Glencoe 0, Final

Pleasant Valley 38, B.B. Comer 6, Final

Randolph County 53, Wellborn 13, Final

Hokes Bluff 49, Cleburne County 10, Final

Spring Garden 39, Victory Christian 12, Final
You notice Cleburne County got pounded by Hokes Bluff. I think Shortt will be gone after this year.
RTR!

Thanks Preacher. E-cred!  :clap:

They are getting better each week. Austin graduated 33 seniors last year which included a lot of starters and the state Player of the Year (Mr. Football). They played Hartselle who is a long time Austin rival in game one and lost in a very close game. Austin struggled in the first half of that game but almost came back to win it. Hartselle is tanked #5 in 6A. Austin moved up to 7A this year and is ranked #8 last week. The win last night secured a first round home game in the playoffs. Austin has made deep runs in the 6A playoffs the last few years. I hope they can do the same in 7A.

Austin beat Bob Jones 37-22 on Thursday night. Austin jumped out to a 20-0 first quarter lead. They lead 27-7 at half. Austin did not play well. Bob Jones scored two of their touchdowns given a short field due to Austin turnovers.

Austin (7A #7) plays James Clemons (#10) next week. The winner wins Region 4. The loser finishes second. Either way Austin will get a first round home game in the playoffs. Region 4 is matched with B'ham's Region 3 which is loaded with Hoover, Thompson, Hewitt-Trussville, etc.

Well we don't have to worry with Cleburne County @ Heflin, they can't beat anybody. RTR!

A lot of stiff competition there.

Thanks for sharing this, Bro Ricky!  I see my highschool, Southside finally won one. Go Panthers! #+  E Cred

"Thompson hands Mountain Brook first loss in dominant fashion 31-7"

Taulia Tagovailoa leads the way!   #+

Class 7A Region 3 is crowded at the top. Hoover, Mountain Brook, Thompson and Hewitt-Trussville are tied at 5-1. Regional play ends next week with Hoover playing Moutain Brook and Thompson playing Hewitt-Trussville. The two winners will get the 1 & 2 playoff spots which host a home game. The two losers will be spots 3 & 4 and play in North Alabama (Region 3) at Austin and James Clements.

Region 3 appears to be a lot stronger than Region 4.

East Alabama scores with my Ranburne losing to Ohatchee:
Friday’s local high school games

Randolph County 41, Saks 21, Final

Pleasant Valley 27, Wellborn 26, Final

Ohatchee 28, Ranburne 0, Final

Clay-Chalkville 27, Oxford 6, Final

Spring Garden 62, Appalachian 6, Final

Anniston 27, Oneonta 13, Final

Piedmont 42, B.B. Comer 0, Final

Jacksonville 27, White Plains 8, Final

Etowah 27, Alexandria 7, Final

Weaver 42, Glencoe 13, Final

Donoho 48, Victory Christian 0, Final

Cleburne County 54, Ashville 28, 4Q
RTR!

Randolph Co. beat #1 Saks handily. Clay-Chaville whipped Oxford readily also. RTR! Then Cleburne Co. actually beat Ashville who must be really bad. RTR!

Austin laid an egg in the first round of the 7A playoffs. They lost to Mountain Brook 31-0. Four interceptions with two of them being pick 6's and a punt snap over the punters head giving MB the ball on the 1 yard line will do it. The headline of today's Decatur Daily is "Turnovers Haunt Austin".

All four Birmingham 7A Region 3 teams beat North Alabama 7A Region 4 teams.

Ouch!!!  :o

Thompson beat Florence 45-14 in playoff 1st round.  Taulia Tagovailoa threw 2 TD passes and ran for another...

Big game for them next week.

RANBURNE — Christian Smith rushed for 208 yards on 18 carries to lift Ranburne over North Sand Mountain 32-24 in the Class 2A state playoffs.


Well my boys over at Ranburne came through last night and will play next week. That game will be tough. RTR!

Oneonta, while beating Brooks in the 5A playoffs, saw their punter kick one straight in the air, catch it, and run 30 yards for a first down.  Yes, it's a live ball if it never crosses the line of scrimmage.

:lol:

Video or it didn't happen.   :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

I didn't actually see it, but I heard the story from someone listening to the game on the radio.  The Brooks radio guys were laughing about it being the worst punt they'd ever seen, then he took off running for a 30 yard gain.  Then they were waiting for the refs to bring it back.

:lol2:

:popcorn2:

Thompson beat Hoover 31-28 last night to advance to the 7A finals. They will play Central (Phoenix City) who beat R.E. Lee (my wife's HS).

Saraland and Wetumpka play for the 6A South while Pinson and Clay-Chalkville play for the North.

The state playoffs are in Auburn this year. It will be the best football that stadium has seen all year.  :lol2:

Well I see Piedmont is the only East Alabama high school team left. Oxford lost to Clay-Chalkville, and Ohatchee lost to Fyffe. RTR!

JHS is a great venue for this. It is already conditioned to a lot of High School football this year.  :lol2:

A friend of mine started as the principle at Saraland this year.  I hope they do well...

My daughter is in her second year teaching at Saraland Elementary. It may be the best public school system in the state. I am pulling for Saraland in the playoffs too.

Principal. 

I have a cousin in the Saraland area.  When I was in high school we played Satsuma (next to Saraland).  They were a horrible team.

Glad to hear little Tua is playing well.
