Any names on Chester Co?

Its hard to beat a team four times in one season. I have South Gibson by 7 in the first game. I think with SG already playing at McNairy last week gives them the advantage. #4 and #5 combine for 9 made threes, and they wont miss FTs down the stretch to give them the huge W. The next one will be an awesome game to see. Dyersburg and their shooters vs South Side and their athletes. Also, best two PGs in the region will be a fun head to head matchup to watch in Spencer and McBride. I have Dyersburg by 5 in this one. I think its finally time for Mahaffey to get to a substate game. The Williams kid with 25 and number 00 with 15 as Dyersburg shoots it too well for SS tonight. Either way I think the winner of this game uses this as a stepping stone and rolls in the championship.

Adamsville at Southside - SS by 30+ Riverside at Chester - Chester by 12 Scotts Hill at Lexington - Lexington by 25 McNairy at Northside - McNairy by 3 Crockett at Obion - Crockett by 30+... Will be locked in after two straight losses Dyersburg at Milan - Dyersburg by 15... Milan has been playing better lately and Dyersburg might not be interested and will try and coast through this one. Looked unfocused/uninterested in 13 point win vs Obion last Friday. I think Dyersburg slips up once before they get back to Crockett. You can't coast this time of year and they seem to be doing that right now. That would potentially set up Dyersburg @ Crockett in a winner take all game next week. Westview at South Gibson - South Gibson by 15. Westview is getting better, but I see SGC pulling away late at home. Coach Wilkins will be emphasizing how much better Westview has gotten over and over in practice so his guys will be focused and ready for this one.

You’re totally right bkbfan. It doesn’t matter how much you score in region semi/sub state games, it’s all about how well you guard. Look at Dyersburgs high scoring offense last year vs FW in region semis. Double OT game that finished in the 50’s. Everyone is so well scouted for tournament time that you have to be able to get multiple stops defensively. Everyone can score it if they are in region, so who’s going to be able to play good defense down the stretch? My guess is SS, Crockett, Dyersburg, AND South Gibson is a real sleeper.

I have heard the LC coach doesn't really know what he is doing, but LC gets what they deserve. Ran your last coach out of town, and I am glad to have him back in Dyersburg!

So very true!!! Can't wait for January!

I just don't know how anyone can pick a team that doesn't buy in on defense (Obion). Yes, they can score, but are they willing to man up and get key stops down stretches of tight games? I think Dyersburg and Crockett have the kids that will take it personally that their man won't score when games get tight. I havent seen it from a Kail coached OC team in my memory. That's why I think they always struggle in region play.

Trenton didn't lose a single player honestly. I saw them play my Dyersburg Trojans and every one of those kids are back. Yes, they are only 6 deep, but those 6 are pretty good. I just think they are right there with Humboldt and Middleton with TCA a good pace behind those three. Thats just me though..

Why isnt anyone talking about Trenton? I think they're up there with everyone else right now. Have everybody back with a shooter, PG, and a big. They could make noise too.

In District 13, since Dyersburg has the best overall player in the district (Kevin Spencer in my opinion), they have as good a chance as anyone to win the district. That kid can play some ball, and knows the game too. Dyersburg always loves to play defense, which keeps them in any game. If Obion buys in on the defensive end of the floor they can be right there too. I think it's easy to see the top 4 teams, but don't know how they will wind up. Right now I'd say Dyersburg Obion are 1a and 1b early in the season!

With him back, I am calling it now, LC will win state during the 2018 football season. Those young kids are the real deal, and won't have to go through Peabody or UC. State finals at least, but I think they win it. Back to the glory days real soon for LC football.

That freshman class y'all have is loaded. After talking to the former LC basketball coach, I believe the hype. He showed me videos of the Mays and Gross kids lifting, and those are the strongest freshmen I've ever seen no matter the class. If what he told me is true, the Mays kid is a future D1 OL. Not too many of them in 1A. And there are 9 or 10 in that class that started last year? Looking more and more like LC is getting back to the days I remember in the 80s. Another thing he told me was your HC is one of the best offensive minds around, and the DC is great also. Always good to have an assistant with tons of HC experience on your staff. I can't wait to come watch a game or two this year. Maybe they'll remind me of the days with Reese, Avery, and those guys.

Just think about LC if they had Kevin Spencer and Tanner Sneider that's here at Dyersburg. Yes, I'm glad they're Trojans but add those two to LC and they have a chance at winning state. Without them, semi-final is best case, but I don't see them making it there this year. When the coaches son is a freshman and starting at quarterback, they will probably win state. Best middle school QB I've seen, and he absolutely tore up my Trojans last year. When he has all that talent around him, he won't have to be great as a freshman. Future is bright for LC football. Good luck to y'all.

I think Humboldt wins it all. Who cares about refs missing calls, it happens every game. The cream rises to the top, and the better team won that game. The last few calls didn't win or lose it, those are just the calls that you remember. What about the bad calls in the first 3 quarters? Don't hear anyone talking about them.

Haywood by 20+ Jarrett and Boyd are both 6'6 D1 guards that can score at all three phases. They have enough 3pt shooting so you can't pack it in, and their 6'8 freshman is legit.
