The last thing Crockett County can avoid is to start 0-3. Starting 0-3 is a killer for their apparent momentum. So, Crockett County has apparently improved, but how much? Did they close the gap on North Side? I'm not sure. I do think North Side will take a step back, but I do believe the Indians have what it takes to hold off Crockett County. I'm hearing the safety for North Side will be a player to watch. North Side will head to Paris to play McCracken County in the Henry County Jamboree.
However, this was a district that underperformed well in 2021. The team I'm curious to see is Obion Central, just to see if they have improved at all from 2021. However, I'm more excited to see how South Gibson will participate in 2022. I really thought they made a sneaky good hire in Ben Johnson. All he has to do continue to build team from what Scott Stidham did in Medina.
I know Haywood fans weren't happy about the lack of scheduling. August 26, Haywood has Oakhaven. I wish the Tomcats hit I-40 and head onto 840 and play against 6A Independence. That's Scott Stidham's new team, and they have the #1 player in the state in Ty Lockwood (he flipped from Ohio State to Alabama last week), and a Junior QB that is getting looked at by WKU, Pittsburgh, and Miami (OH). That game would benefit both schools more than anything Haywood vs Oakhaven and Independence vs Trezevant on 8/26.
North Side's offense needs new creativity and be more productive in big games. Obion Central needs to improve as a whole. Crockett County needs to average 28-30 points, and shed off 10 points a game on defense. For Milan, I think everything has to go right for them to succeed.
1. Haywood
2. South Gibson
3. Milan
4. North Side
5. Obion Central
6. Crockett County.
I just have questions about Crockett that needs to be answered before I believe them.
Side note: Lausanne playing at Humboldt on September 23 and at South Gibson on October 20. Lausanne's Quarterback, Brock Glenn, is an Ohio State commit. Just want to throw that out there.
