The TSSAA rules on "artificial noise makers" only apply to indoor sports. No such rule exists in the TSSAA football guidebook. More cowbell?

Totally agree. Only advice I could give to Davidson Academy is spread the field offensively. USJ defense will not be man handled. When attempting to tackle USJ's big back go ankle low because he lowers his head like a battering ram and being on the receiving end of his helmet appears to be quite painful and unproductive. Early prediction USJ 35 - Davidson Academy 14......USJ's coaches had those young men prepared well for NCS.

Great post Bellsburg2! You summed it up very well. Looking at USJ's schedule I see an impressive, albeit loss (11-21) to a strong 4A Crockett County last month. To hold that high scoring CC team to 21 is a testament to USJ's defense. I see that loss as more impressive than NCS's win over a relatively weak 5A Hillwood. Rain chances are 60% throughout the day and during the game. Although the c.a.l.preps projection for this game is NCS 28-20, it doesn't factor in weather, and I see a USJ win in this one. I would go ahead and make hotel reservations in Cookeville if I were a USJ fan.....there's a jinx for you!

Just In: Landsdell just signed a 3 year extension, got a raise, and found time to watch ALOT of posters eating CROW. NCS has enjoyed many great years. This is a rebuilding year, but expect this team to get better each week, and improve. Congrats to CA South!

No doubt these are the best two teams in 1A. I would hate to be hit by Silvey and would hate to have to tackle Yates. Tremendous first half!

Acceptance is the first step.....let Dresden's recovery begin Brother.

This should be a very good game. Dresden's passing attack versus Greenback's rushing attack. I'll go with Greenback 49-42 in a shootout!

I'm watching Dresden v Wayne County game on Periscope.tv https://www.periscope.tv/w/1zqKVNXWvjLKB#

Alright Wildcats. Its your TIME! That Dresden QB is not an accurate passer when he's running for his life, falling down, or on his back. I guarantee you nobody has hit him as hard as you guys can. You guys have the best coaches and fans! Now go out there and get it down! Wayne 42 - Dresden 24

Yes, he did the best he could considering he had Mack trucks hitting him about every play. WC takes physicality to a whole other level. Dresden will discover that early on. The last two years especially that WC defense hits you HARD EVERY play. It sounds like a demolition derby when WC is playing defense. Dresden is certainly the best 1A team WEST OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER, but that's where it ends. Maybe that should earn a Bronze Ball or a Cinderella slipper, I'll leave that to the Western TN contingent. But 7 PM Friday night is the equivalent of midnight for Dresden, and their princess carriage is going to turn into a pumpkin, and by 9 PM, the field will be littered with seeds as one looks down from Ned McWherter press box.

If you take out Union City, which is of course Dresden's toughest opponent all year (and no disrespect to UC, but they are way down compared to UC of the past), the combined records of Dresden's other opponents is 33-71. Defense??? Far superior??? How can you make such a statement enlight of the facts? WC's defense is going to sack, rush, and intercept Dresden's QB all night. This time next week the term OVERRATED will be applied to the teams in 1A West of the TN River, especially Dresden. This has been the fact the last two years. Dresden has not seen a defense like WC's.

I see Preston Rice as Mr. Football again. Scoring TD's, stripping the football twice, "Dude" refuses to lose. Of course he has a great team around him but from a stats, leadership, and competitiveness standpoint, how can you not chose him. He DA Man!

Does this mean you are going to quit whining about the Ref's in last weeks Huntingdon V NCS game?

and it wasn't even that close. SP is a force. SP V Greenback will be something special

Very happy for WC! They stopped NCS several times. I hope QB Rice is OK. WC all the WAY!
