The last time my Wildcats beat Emerald was 2018
in a wild one 62-46.The Vikes have pretty good
speed at the skill positions.I don't think 96 will be
able to hang with them but who knows.
GO GET'EM WILDCATS!

Last year 96 was one of our only two wins. Hopefully we can get another win off of them this week. We will see who out-uglies who.

The emerald QB has got an arm. The Vikings seem to be improved from last year. I like how 96 didn't give up in the jamboree when they got down against McCormick. 96 showed character how they came back and won. I think emerald will out athlete 96 though. Just my two cents from what I saw at the jamboree.

96 came up a couple yards short. Showed a lot of fight.

Says more about Emerald than 96. Barely beating a smaller program is telling.

Emerald will struggle mightily in their region. They’ll beat Ware Shoals next week and then maybe win one more.

It’s a two-three win program right now. Absolutely shame to see them scheduling 96 and Ware Shoals to pad stats early.

After our beat down of 96 last year i think our boys overlooked them and it almost cost us. I thought 96 was very similar to last year, we may not be as good. That's scary.

Both the Emerald and 96 coaches are loading the schedule with bottom feeders to pad the stats. I posted about that earlier. It's a shame, these coaches know they aren't winners by now. They need to find something else to do.

More than fair. For the sake of Lakelands Football, I hope both teams prove me wrong but I can’t see Emerald winning more than 4 games.

3-8
1-9
2-7
2-8

8-32 over the last four seasons. Dubose is 4-15. If he ends up 8-23, how do they keep him?

The program has completely collapsed and this started before COVID.
