Well we really stunk that up. PG is just a cut above. I don't think anyone in DII is staying close, much less beating them.

The consolation in all this for me is that Pleasant Grove has never beaten Carthage and probably never will as long as Surratt is there.
So this will be the Hawks' second and final state championship in 4A Division II for a while.
Welp, I was about as wrong as I could be. I thought we turned the proverbial corner and were more mentally tough than we showed. How many of y'all believe there is a right way to win and a wrong way to win? I would absolutely LOVE to say somebody will beat PG, but....it doesn't look like that is going to happen this season. I do think their dominance ends after this season, although they will still have a good team. Man, I sure do miss the days where we had an almost unstoppable offense. We haven't had a very good defense this century, but we could count on being able to score enough on any team to stay in a game. We won't get back to our dominate winning ways under our current coaches, in my opinion. I've heard it mentioned many times that teams will take on the personality of the head coach. Well, Coach Turner is too nice.
BTW, I think you are right, Aesculus gilmus. I don't think it's "because" of Carthage dropping, although that definitely will make it more difficult. I just don't think they will have another Ben Harmon anytime soon.

Gilmer Buckeyes -State Champions:
2004 3A - Division II
2009 3A - Division I
2014 4A - Division II
2023 4A - Division II
We had to play mistake free and have a little luck to get by them. Neither of those happened and everyone got to see the final result. It happens. We got nothing to hang out heads about. I firmly believe that the future is bright.
