Obviously, we're about 2 weeks away from University football starting up. But, we're also about 8 days away from the high schools banging heads. Seeing reports every night on our local news/sports, highlighting different teams around the area.
I freakin' looooove this time of year, with the exception of global warming. I've never understood the need to start playing games 3 weeks into August when the heat index is 173 degrees. And unless we hit a Friday night in the first couple of weeks, where the temps fall below heavy ass sweat levels, my pimply back side will be catching the reels about 10:20.
My HS watching buddies have already been looking at potential games to hit, and one that stands out is, Andalusia coming to Slocomb, which is about 7-8 miles down the road. Auburn RB commit from Andalusia, J'Marion Burnette, will be coming to town, so that's a must see. BTW, he's now listed at 6'2" 230.
I seem to recall a certain back at Auburn with those measurables. Stephen Davis.
Who ya' got? Who ya' goin' to see? Who cares?

I'll be following Reeltown for family reasons, and Pike Road for neighborly reasons. All is right in the world when you hear pads popping, helmets clashing, crowds cheering, and beer flowing down my mouth hole.

Will do my best to throw Cam Coleman a few 5 dollar bills this season....hopefully that makes him think twice about Dimbo Jimbo...wink wink.

I even get pumped up hearing the drum lines.
Reeltown is absolutely one of the most successful HS programs in the State. Not for a few years running. For decades. They're no Lyman Ward in Camp Hill, though.

Seems that I remember UMS Wright being dominant growing up, too. Every time I saw a score of one of their games, even in the postseason, they were throttling teams 70-0.

Sure. Pretend you didn’t hear him talking about his mouth hole like it didn’t turn you on.
I’m just shocked you didn’t ask about other holes.

I don't usually participate in this thread because I have no kids and I'm not scouting sophomores at the games on Friday nights.
This year, however, I'm going to be compelled to attend a few games. I'll report my findings.

It's always a bonus if you have a legit prospect coming to your area that you can go see. Been kind of rare in these parts for years. It's been crazy how little P5 talent we've had in the Wiregrass. But the region that Dothan is in, has plenty of programs that pump out the cruits. Central, Auburn, Opelika etc. So, there's always somebody to go see. But if not, no biggee. I just love stalking young, nubile cheerleaders.

I'll be following the Tallassee Tigers. A 5A team that intentionally plans to play two white RBs.

I work in Tallassee, and have lived in Tallassee for a portion of my life. There’s far better places to try to follow nearby at the HS level.
I will be at the game on 8/24, though. Pulling against the purple and gold.

Once upon a time, I worked the studio on game nights at WTLS. That's my connection to the Tigers of the Tallapoosa.

Had grandparents in Tallassee, and spent many weeks of my childhood there. (When the parents wanted to take a trip and pawn off the kids on someone). I recall Hot O'Brien Stadium even way back then. Hadn't been by there in decades, but drove by the stadium last year on the way to Lake Martin. That facility has changed a bit. Second deck, and looked pretty skippy from the road.
-
Speaking of stadiums, Dothan's old Rip Hewes Stadium finally completed a ton of much needed renovations that were started last year. 60 year old facility that seats 10,000. They started with the parking lots, putting in islands and lighting. Ripped up the sod and put down turf. Tore down the old scoreboard and put up a, well, I wouldn't call it a jumbotron by any means, but nice just the same. New fencing. New locker rooms, concessions and bathrooms.
Really, the only thing they didn't touch was the seating. But, it went from a dump nobody wanted to go to, to a pretty nice facility.
Enterprise got slammed by a tornado a little over a decade ago. The high school took a direct hit, and a lot of kids/teachers were killed. They pretty much leveled it and started over, including a new football stadium. I've never been to the stadiums around the Ham or Mobile, but I imagine you'd have to drive that far to find a high school stadium like that.

It all cranks up this week, starting Thursday. Temps down here are expected to be 100-104 through Saturday. I heard some of the schools are moving game times up to 7:30 and sometimes 8:00, just to let the thermometer come down a few degrees.

You are right on paper....but not having that sun hitting you directly as it goes down behind some trees or buildings after that extra hour, feels totally different.
They moved my daughters XC meet back from 6 to 7 and yesterday it felt like a world of difference where the sun was on that course.

All of these pussies complaining about this heat are a riot. Yesterday, I walked from my car into 3 or 4 different offices and then I carried the garbage to the road from my house when I got back home. You don’t hear me making a big issue about it.

That coupled with my being much more of a man is the main difference.
Some of you act as if global warming is some kind of new thing. Al Gore warned us about this not long after he invented the Internet. Yet, some of you refuse to get vaccinated.

I know these heat strokes are a bad thing, but did I tell you about the time I lost my house to a kitchen fire?

Clay/Chalkville will be a really good team from the Bham metro. My AllMyMatter, Oneonta, has a running back that is really good. I hope the kid gets a D1 option.

I said I wasn't going. Too Damn Hot!!!
Decided to do a bike ride right after work. Still hot as Satan's ass crack, but I'm on a bike. Wind in my hair. One with nature. 1 mile into the ride....BAM! Flat tire. Walked it back to the Ford F-150. But hey, I'm hardly sweating. There may be something to this lack of humidity thing.
So, I decided to hit a game. And it turned out to be pretty comfortable, and definitely not too bad on the players.
Carroll of Ozark vs. Dothan. Carroll is a 5A team, and normally pretty stout, with a lot of athletes. Not this year. Dothan won 59-14, after being up 52-7 at half. Just a few of quick observations.
Dothan is really fast on the outside. Had a receiver make two amazing, highlight reel runs, one after a catch, and one on an end around. Good size on the line, a QB that can toss it around pretty gooder, and all around great speed.
The D is still a bit undersized, but a shit ton of speed. They had a DB who made two interceptions right in front of me, and run both back for TD's. The amazing thing was the returns were both over 90 yards. Speed!!! However, that brings up the achilles heel for this team.
The DB was beaten on both plays. Their QB sucked ass and underthrew both balls. This team cannot cover for shit. I went to three of their games last year, two of which were Central and Opelika. They handled Opelika, but got whipped constantly in the secondary. Played Central off their feet, but all Central had to do was go long every other play, and cruise into the end zone. One of the interceptions I was referring to, was on a 4th and 19. The receiver was 5 yards behind the DB, but again, the Ozark QB was teh suxxors.
Anyway, not that anyone outside of GH, whose Red Devils are in Dothan's region, cares. But, it was good to hit a real, live foosball game.

Reeltown beat the every living hades out of Tallassee. Gonna be a long year for the Tigers of the Tallapoosa. Inept defense, anemic offense, scared coaching. It was bad.

Talent is abysmal for Tallassee, but so is scheme/coaching. Battles needs to go.

I'm late to the party. I dropped off all my cutting utensils to be sharpened for the upcoming season. Should have them back first of the week. His bitch ass gets a reprieve.

Got a couple of good ones down in our area tomorrow night.
Central @ Enterprise: Both teams are undefeated at 2-0. The Red Devils have cruised against U-It Trussville (48-24), and Smith Station (51-0). The Mildcats of Enterprise took an easy win over 5A Eufaula in the opener, then got by Auburn 17-16 on the road last week.
I haven't watched anything other than highlights from these two, so I have no take on either one, other than to say Enterprise has a long history of starting really fast....until they get to Central. Then, dreams are dashed, hopes are crushed, and a general sense of failure sets in.
Auburn @ Dothan: After beyotch slapping Who-ver, and getting stunned by E'prise last week, the Tiggers come in to face the 2-0 Dothan Wolves. AWWOOOOOOOOOO..... (That's a wolf howl, BTW) Dothan had a cakewalk against 5A Carroll of Ozark, then slapped the Fighting Percy Julian's (Lee High School) around 42-6.
I'll be at this one. Have no idea about Auburn, but they're obviously always loaded. As I said in an earlier post after watching Dothan....Undersized on D, and can't cover the pass for shit. Decent QB and a ton of speed on offense.
It'll be fun, and these two games could go a long way in shaping the direction of this region.

Would not overlook the Enterprise win last week. Anytime you go to Duck Samford and get a W it's huge. Best place for homecooking in the state not named Hoover.

What you are calling Duck Samford, I call Neil Caudle stadium. At the time, he was the best QB I had ever seen in person and I thought for sure he was the future of Auburn Football. Spain Park spanked some serious ass with him signal calling.
-
Central bitch slapped Enterprise. Not unexpected. Dothan fell one point short to Auburn. Looks like Dothan and E’prise are in the same boat, but Central is the class of the region, and maybe the State.

Bippity Bump
Watched a good bit of Clay Chalkville vs. Thompson last night on teh Deuce. Crap load of D1 commits playing, including CCHS's, D'Angelo's Steak Pit Barber, Auburn LB commit.
Unfortunately, the guy who took over the game, and stole the show, was Bama commit, 5* Jaylen Mbakwe. He played QB for Clay Chalkville, which he won't be playing for the Tahd. Looked bigger, but only listed at 170. This fricker can fly. It's not that quick, jitterbug kind of shitcherpants fast. Looks like he's gliding, and he's around the corner before you can blink. I hate it, but he's got that Davonte Smith look.
BTW, CCHS had a tackle who is committed to the Ducks. 6'8" 386. He came in on a 2 point conversion as a tackle eligible. They tossed it to him in the flats. Took him 8 seconds to run 5 yards. Two guys made an "attempt" to bring him down. When they arrived, both kind of said, "Fuck this, you can have those 2."

I’ll be officiating the Athens/Cullman game this week, so I’ll give my thoughts on our 2025 OL commitment this weekend.
