Henry County 2015

[olddevil]

As part of today's jamboree, the Patriot  freshmen will scrimmage the Tilghmen frosh on the practice field at about 4:30 prior to the start of the Stewart Co.- West Carrol pairing. Should be a really fun night for football fans.On another note, Inman and HC Middle both won handily last night over Waverly and Stewart Middle respectively.

Does anyone know anything about Paducah-Tilghman?

I am a Mayfield guy but am somewhat familiar with the Blue Tornado.  They went 7-6 last season and finished as regional runner up but got blown out in the regional final.  Traditionally PT has been a Kentucky powerhouse but not as of late.  They have a highly regarded second year coach from Warren Central in Mile Rogers who runs the Wing T.  They return a QB who is pretty good and may be the best player in their district this year as well as their top receiver from a year ago.  They have suffered of late from a major lack of discipline and smallish lines but this year is expected to see some improvement.  They are ranked #5 preseason in their 3A class.  I spoke with one of their coaches this morning at breakfast and he told me they were scrimmaging Westview first and only planned to use their starters for 1 or 2 series with Henry Co.  That said I doubt Henry will get much out of this given their plans to not play their starters.  In my opinion, starters or not, I don't see them having the horses to play with a Henry County.  Typically they have freakishly good skill players but lack good line play and discipline.

Thanks! I look forward to it and want too see what HC looks like at several different spots.

Great night of action. I missed game 1 and most of game 2, but games 3 and 4 alone were fun to watch. 

 

Henry County gets the 23-7 victory over Paducah Tilghman. Over all I thought we looked pretty good tonight. Running game looks solid. McCord, Thompson, Reynolds, and Odom all bring something different to the table and should make for a pretty reliable stable of backs. and I thought the QB's played well aside from a couple of mistakes here and there. McCutcheon played great and showed he has a nice handle on the offense, and the TD strike from Stewart to Stewart was awesome. If Savon Stewart can simply smooth out his game a little bit, which should come with more experience, we could have a 2-headed monster at QB this year. And the kicker who hit the FG at the end (Zadan sp?) appears to have a really nice leg and could definitely be a weapon this year. Defense held Tilghman scoreless until late in the scrimmage. I feel pretty good about this team heading into game week.

 

As for game 4, I came away impressed with Dresden as they beat Milan 21-10 (I think). Their QB is a special player and was very fun to watch. They also play with some real attitude on defense. My hunch is they will do very well in their classification this year.

I came away impressed with the D. The O is young and needs some work but should come along. I'm ready for next week.
