All year long it has been mistake after mistake by the media. I picked three this week for an example.

What's wrong with these three quotes?

From Hootens week 8
"No. 11 Atkins has not won a conference title since 2004, but a .500 Red Devil team in 2012 was the only league opponent to defeat eventual state champion Charleston (32-29) that season."
"Lamar managed 187 total yards and a late TD last week in a 37-7 loss to top-ranked Charleston."

From the SWTimes 10/20/16
"Charleston quarterback Jackson Rowland continues to add to his monster senior numbers. Rowland leads the Airedales with 1,450 yards rushing and 23 touchdown passes."

Charleston got beat out in the quarterfinals in 2012 when Atkins beat them.

And Jack doesn't play for Alma.

Going to Atkins. Dinner with some old friends at the Old South in Russellville.

Should be a decent game. Thought you may come to Yell county.

Nope, Charleston did. Atkins was in the 4A at that time.

The media as a whole is pretty much a joke nowadays.

It also said a receiver for Paris has 11 catches for 1,168 yards. That's quite an impressive 106.1 yards per reception average.

A week or two ago the SWTR reported our kicker went 4/5 on PATs. He hasn't kicked since week 2.

Three of the four mistakes in the OP have been answered. One has not and you of all people I thought would pick up on it quickly. :)

I'm not 100%sure of Lamar's yardage last week,but 187 doesn't ring a bell.

I had them for 78. Perhaps I made a mistake and am just as bad as the media haha.

What about Rowland rushing for 1700 yds

Define old, I just turned 52 and I'm not trying to relive anything. Can't remember a lot of my youth.

Charleston hasn't rushed for 1,700 yards since McDonald...but Jackson is on his way per the times record I guess!

AlumniLights

Better yet, how about "Paris gets their swag back".....this has to be a typo...swag? swag?

MynameisJeff should change his name to Mt. View Sprit.  I think they may be closely related.

Did you enjoy your return visit to the Old South? I may need to stop in their one of these days when on my way to visit family.

YC


Yes I did, Had a 11oz prime rib with baked potato and green salad with ranch dressing. I enjoyed it very much.
Enjoyed the game as well. However the officiating was so horrible I was embarrassed for them. Those jokers locked themselves out of their locker room and couldn't't get back in a half time—they lost the key. That pretty much sums up their performance. But all in all it was a good night.

Did Rowland transfer??? I may not know an awful lot but I'm pretty sure we didn't play Alma last week...
