I didn't make it to the game last week. I had tickets, but had plans I made months ago so I gave them to a friend when they had to move the game. I will be going to Batesburg this week. Talking to a guy that coaches at Saluda before the season, he was worried about everything they had to replace.
From what I was told this morning, the winner will go to Chesnee and the loser will be the at-large and will travel to Abbeville. I have only been to Chesnee once. 2010 first round of the playoffs, Coach Strickland's first year at Newberry, Chesnee beat Newberry 27-20 in a game I almost froze to death during. 2nd coldest I have ever been at a game, 1st was the Papa John's Bowl in Birmingham when Carolina played UCONN.*Topcat* wrote: ↑Mon Nov 02, 2020 10:25 pmI like B-L in this one. The loser of this one may get Abbeville in first round. There was no way Saluda was going to come close to pulling off what they did last year. I'm not talking about them beating Barnwell, Southside Christian, etc. Coming from 18 down to beat us on our home field...may not happen again in a lifetime. Just the truth. This year they are apparently not so good...one year removed from a successful playoff run.
I believe Chesnee has a good offense, but, their D gave up 35 to ninety-six. That is not good.bigdog2003 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 9:38 amFrom what I was told this morning, the winner will go to Chesnee and the loser will be the at-large and will travel to Abbeville.

Trust me, I would much rather make the ride up I-26 to I-85 and go to Chesnee than to get on Hwy 34 and come to Abbeville. I know we would still end up making that ride round 2 if we won, but I would like an extra week to our season. A 4 game regular season has sucked.*Topcat* wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 12:06 pmI believe Chesnee has a good offense, but, their D gave up 35 to ninety-six.
