THE OFFICIAL 2020 ALLATOONA FOOTBALL THREAD

OUR ALLATOONA BUCS ARE COMING OF AN OUTSTANDING 2019 CAMPAIGN WHERE THEY LOST IN THE 32 TEAM TOURNAMENT STATE TITLE GAME TO HARRISON

IT IS TIME TO REDISTRICT SO YOU WILL SEE NEW TEAMS ON OUR SCHEDULE AS THE CONFERENCE CHANGES FOR 2 YEARS. GHSA IS GETTING SICK OF CHEATING SO THEY HAVE MADE CHANGES THAT HAVE ACTUALLY AFFECTED ALLATOONA IN A NEGATIVE WAY. WHEN YOU LOOK AT 1A-5A YOU SEE NOTHING BUT PRIVATE SCHOOL CHAMPIONS AS ANYONE CAN BE"RECRUITED" THERE. SO 3A-5A BENEFITTED. AS THEY DECIDED IF YOU DONT LIVE IN THE DISTRICT YOU ARE COUNTED AS 1.25 PER KID AS LEVELS 1A-7A ARE DETERMINED BY THE NUMBER OF KIDS IN THE SCHOOL. A GOOD IDEA BUT NOW AS YOU KNOW ALLATOONA DOESNT RECRUIT I MEAN THEIR STATE WINNING QB WHO BEAT FROHM WENT TO THE CITADEL. 6A WAS THE CLEANEST IN TERMS OF LESS CHEATING IN TERMS OF RECRUITING. BUT NOW WITH THE NEW RULES THERE WILL BE 6-7 HEAVY RECRUITING GA HS IN 6A. ALLATOONA WHO BARELY HAS ENOUGH KIDS TO QUALIFY FOR 6A GETS BURNT AS THEY SHOULD REALLY BE IN 5A. THEN YOU THROW IN THE BIGGEST CHEATER IN HISTORY OF GA HS FOOTBALL GETTING THE HC JOB AT VALDOSTA ITS A REAL UPHILL CLIMB IN TERMS OF THE PLAYOFFS AND ALL THE COLLEGE KIDS THEY WILL PLAY.

IN THE DIVISON WE WILL COMPETE AND KELL MIGHT BE THE FAVORITE. ALLATOONA DOES HAVE A BIG TIME RECRUIT TE THAT MICH ST AND MANY OTHERS KNOW ABOUT ALREADY. BENNET CHRISTIAN IS ALREADY KNOWN AND THATS WHY HE DECIDED AGAINST GOING TO IMG FLORIDA. FLORIDA IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST IN STACKING TEAMS THATS WHY I JUST CANT WATCH HS FLA FBALL THAT ESPN GLORIFIES.

AS USUAL OR BUCS WILL HAVE THE TOUGHEST OUT OF CONFERENCE SCHEDULE.. IF THEY START AUG 21 THEN HARRISON WILL BE 1ST ON THE SCHEDULE THE DEFENING STATE CHAMPS FOLLOWED BY 7A RECRUITING SCHOOL CALLED DENMARK.

GHSA KNOWS HOW RIDICULOUS FLORIDA IS THAT THEY WONT ALLOW THIER TEAMS PLAY FLORIDA TEAM..

GO BUCS!!!

OUR BUCS ARE PRACTICING 20 KIDS AT A TIME WITH NO BALL. NEXT WEEK WE WILL BE PRACTICING WITH 50 KIDS AT A TIME WITH BALL... ASSUMING NO CRAZY NUMBERS. I BELIEVE THAT THEY WOULD NEED FANS TO BE ABLE TO PLAY AS CONCESSIONS SOUVENIRS AND TICKETS ARE PARAMOUNT AS THERE IS NO TV MONEY...AND FBALL MONEY PAYS FOR ALL SPORTS

THEN ABOUT MIDWAY THRU THE 2ND HALF A PUNT SNAP WENT THRU THE PUNTERS HANDS FOR A TD AD OUR BUCS WERE DOWN 10-0...NOTE HERE EARLIER THERE WAS A HIGH SNAP THAT WAS SAVED BY THE PUNTER AND THIS UNIT IS SHAKY RIGHT NOW.ALSO WE COULDNT KICK A 45 YARD FG AS THIS UNIT IS DOWN FROM A YEAR AGO RIGHT NOW. WE WERE ABLE TO DOMINATE THE REST OF THE WAY. FIRST WE TOOK OFF THE REIGNS OF SOPHOMORE JAYDEN PONDER AND UNLEASHED THIS RB IN THE 2ND HALF. SOME NICE RUNS THEN ELAN HALL HIT CALEB MOORE FOR A 35 YARD TD PASS TO PULL WITHIN 10-7. A BIG RUN WAS CONVERTED ON 4TH DOWN THAT GOT THE TOONA DOWN TO THE 13. PONDER FINISHED OFF THE DRIVE FOR A 14-10 LEAD. MEANWHILE WE WERE DOMINATING ON D.THEN BOOM HUNTER PAULSEN WITH A 40 YARD PICK 6 FOR THE 20-10 LEAD. THE 2 GAME CHANGING TDS CAME WITH 10:38 AND 10:23 LEFT IN THE GAME. THEN 1:34 LEFT A NAME YOU NEED TO GET USED TO VINNY CANOSA BORKE IN WITH A SACK SCOOP N SCORE FOR 27-10 LEAD...
