Nolebull813 Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 SJB/STA, Dematha/BG, and IMG/Chandler are high caliber Wayne/PR is a good one the other 3 are crap. Who cares about the 3rd or 4th best team from Oklahoma? And Saraland vs Heard County is atrocious for a nationally televised game. And the only reason B Trail/Cartersville stinks is because where these teams are in each state. Cartersville is expected to be top 4 in all of Georgia and Bartram Trail isn't even top 4 in JACKSONVILLE. The game stinks. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard is a Top 5 2A school but that doesnt translate to a great team. I guarantee Heard Co. is only on TV bc of Emory Jones. BTrail is at #16 Preseason in FL. Be that actually the case, BTrail vs Cartersville wont be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What publication are you citing that preseason ranking? Are they a credible ranking service with years of bulls eye accuracy in regards to their preseason rankings?

TheMaximumHornetSting Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Saraland(AL) @ Heard County will be lopsided. Emory Jones is a good QB but the rest of the team. Idk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accually to be fair on the Florida board when ranking jax preseason i had them at 4 in jax area going into 2017 But i still expect Cartersville to win easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Bartram Trail hasn't been top 16 in the state in school history. And they gave up 61 points in a playoff game to a raw, unsophisticated offense. And they lost 5 games. They didn't finish top 5 in Jax area. So now that they scheduled a top Georgia team they are magically gonna be this awesome team that historians will write about 100 years from now?

Nolebull813 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 And it has nothing to do with Georgia. It would be the same if STA, Miami Central, Allen, Corona Centennial, Dematha etc scheduled Bartram Trail. You would just shake your head and say why??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLien12x Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Cartersville isn't on the level of STA, Miami Central, Allen or etc. theyre undefeated because of 4A ball in Georgia. They wouldn't have beat colquitt last year 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in a bad way. I like Bartram Trail. I watched them live in the playoffs one year vs Armwood. They are a good depth team. But they aren't playing some 5 loss GA team ranked 15-30 in the state. They are playing a 30-0 two time state champ with an explosive offense and a stud transfer to make it even more explosive. B Trail has a Swiss cheese defense. This game stinks ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STA has 30 plus D1's and they are playing neighborhood public teams. Kinda hard to compete like that. After STA, no one is on a nationally ranked level. But a lot of very good teams that are 2nd and 3rd tier. Lakeland, Plant, Venice, Braden River, Columbia, and Dwyer are good depth teams. These teams are like Tift, Ware, Kell, Coffee, Sandy Creek etc. So if they are playing Grayson, Colquitt, Roswell of course they will look bad.
