I will start by saying that off the field Darren Bowling my have been the best man you will ever meet and he my have not. I didn't carry a great off the field relationship with him and don't know a lot about him. I will say that when it comes to football I have a lot of respect for his overall knowledge of the game and was excited about the offense he brought to the game. I always stood strong on my opinion that he would be a great offensive cordinator somewhere. That being said it takes more of a man to stand in there and take the critizm of others and stick it out with a progam that may be on the decline for the next year or two for sure. We're not going to be a state title contender unless we just flat out play amazing football that is for sure. To tell a bunch of high school kids how excited you are about an opprunity like Dyersburg, have a good season, and lose talent like he did, then jump off the Trojan train like he did was very immature in my opinion. I know some of you won't agree but I just don't care. He said in the paper he though Dyersburg was a school where the imprint of tradition was already layed down and he wanted his own tradition. Over the next two years Bowling would have been able to get his offense in place and really put his name on Dyersburg football but he's gone and thats that. On another note. I am just plum tickled to have Counce back at Dyersburg. I really believe that when Counce gets back in the swing of things this Dyersburg team will become a dynasty I applaud him for taking his time to deal with things and taking a step back to catch his breathe. Also for someone to leave a state title team like MBA, and come back because he felt like this was home. Says a lot. He will bring disipline, respect and character back to Dyersburg. I think he learned a lot from MBA and knows now what it takes to win a state title. There will be some new things from Counce but it will be that same old Counce we grew a custom to. I am excited about what he will bring to the table and suppot any decision he makes. Not that my oppinon will matter to him. And thats what I like most.

I am real fired up for tomorrow's game and will be a bit more the closer to the game. These seniors have taken Dyersburg to a level that was visible but really unseen for a long time. Counce brought DHS to great things and these seniors have gone big each year they have touched the field. Undefeated as freshmen, 10-0 season and a number 1 ranking as somphmores, Sate semi's as junior, and now as seniors I am pretty sure they don't want their big season to end in Memphis. Reguardless though these seniors have given Dyersburg a lot to be proud of.....If tomorrow is there last game in Black and Gold trust me when I say that together with their team they will fight until the very end.....I am starting to thinking about the game and pass happy Ken Torey is starting to make my stomach hurt. The pass defense, which has been suspect to say the least will have to come up big. With Caldwell back it will only help, but man we are going to have to play huge on defense. I can tell you the dream scenerio would be for Caldwell and Taylor to have a few early INT's caused by the relientless pressure our D-line imposes. The offense post a bug score on the board early and by the time Ken gets in rythme the game is virtually over, but I don't think that will happen...The key is the D line though if we can create enough pressure with it we can drop the Linebackers in coverage creating a better opprunity to disrupt the passing lanes. With our unstoppable rushing attack, we should be able to control the clock with a steady dose of Beau and the rest of the FB's. Then the outside game will open up. I think last week Dyersburg got comfortable being in a shoot out with Trezvent early and we got lucky and got some stops and we just had more weapons. This week we really want a different type of game. They have the speed to match ours, and there will be big plays for both teams but we can actually be more phyiscally this game. Which is huge. If Beau has over 100 yards rushing I could see Dyersburg could win by twenty. Parker will let every play clock run down, and will contol the clock and the pace of the game.....I nervous about this one it will be good. Dyersburg can do it. They just have to play their best, and if I was judging off last week preformance. That in my opinion the best preformance of the year for us,. With Caldwell back, we fix the small things we lacked last week and we win.

Dyersburg needs to set the tone early in this one. We really need to get some quick scores which should be a problem, and maybe a huge lick on Ken Torey early to disrupt his rythme. Torey is a great talent, but if we throw the right looks at him we might be able to confuse him. This won't be the first meeting though and Some of the athletes for Dyersburg remember what kind of talent he had and they will be ready. I'd like to say we are preparing well on pass coverage this week but I don't know. If anyone does know anything about preactive this week let us kno. I am taking Dyersburg 38 Mitchell 28

DC doesn't want a game like the first one. I can promise you that. Haywood will be out for recenge. They are gonna want it a lot more then the first meeting. Haywood defense can slow down this DC offense as well. They have a huge D line and speed in the secondary to keep up. If the game is close the loss of B.A will then come into a factor cuz this Haywood team is going to try to beat you up all day. Linebackers are goin to play a big role in this one and B.A not out there is goin to hurt. The best thing for DC would be to jump on them early and not let them up. There not a major offense team is Haywood and if you can get up 10 or so early it will probably be to much for them to catch up. If its close it could be bad for DC, but I am taking DC so we can keep the idea of a rematch in mind next week.

The Trojans played their best game of the season last night. Without Caldwell, they had a great balance between runners. With Beau back there it gives you a bruiser that makes you respect the inside. Its beautiful how the offense opens up when Beau pounds a few people. They played well but could play even better which is scary. We have said that all year though...Logan Parker made a few decisions that were kind of odd, but we got a week to improve. I don't like to hear about the Mitchell QB. I do remember him for last year, he was very athletic and gave our D fits. I think we might be up to the task. Dyersburg knows what teams are goin to want to do so I think they will pull together and tighten up next week. Its early but if Mitchell plays like they did against Ripley. I will say DHS ,,,,BIG

Yea I have to agrree with most people. I saw Ftayser at the beginning of the year. It was pathetic.I would like to say they have improved from then. but according to their record they haven't. Their only win was a 14-12 squeaker over Hillcrest. Plus this DC team is playing their best football right now. I would say to DC watch out cuz these teams from Memphis love to play spoiler but I think they are ready and will get the job done One thing that I will say might change things. In the Dyersburg game they never punted the ball giving Dyersburg amazing field possession all night long. If the have any type of punting game it could turn into a game of field possessoin and they might have a small chance. They werent that bad when they played us, but we usually started at the 30 yard line or shorter with only a small ammount of field to score with.

Good Luck Trojans.......Hope you are ready for a real test. Lets get the job done. GO TROJANS!!!!

Yea, I don't know about winning big. I am actually putting the Trojans on upset alert this week. Trezvent has all the components to kock us out early. The loss of Caldwell just takes on weapon off the field. The one weapon who has shined reguardless of who you put on him. If Taylor is having problem with the coaching staff that is just another isuue we wil have to deal with, and the type of performances we have put out the last three weeks won't get it done anymore. Its the playoofs now and mistakes will start to cost us. If we slip we will be looking at next season. Get focused Trojans and lets have our first mistake free game.

IYea I was looking over the Trezvent schedule and the played alot of teams tough, along with beating Fayette Ware. The have a lot of talent and have 2 or 3 losses to good teams from Mississppi. They will be a real chellenge. Dyersburg will definetly be favored. I would think that if they play well they could win pretty easily but They must play well. We definetly can't look over this one though, becuz Dyersburg could definetly be sitting at home next week......The time for wondering is over though. We spent all season saying that if they got there it would be freat and we would make a run. After every game the Trojans would look confused in, they made bad mistakes and on saturdays we were on here talking about how good they can be. Well that time is over, if they play bad this week there won't be any reason to log on saturday. Unless you going to talk basketball.......Lets go Trojans,,,,4qurater of great football likke we know you can.

Some one also mentioned the possiblity of seeing Mcnairy again for a rematch of that lob sided game....I will say that DC is playing a lot different now but Mcnairy drew Liscomb in the first round, so guess what you can fot get...Liscom is my pick from the bottom half of the bracket, but my heart is going to somebody in this county.....I don't care if its either team. I just hope its wearing Black and Gold

The roat is long boys, and you need to keep that swagger and gorget the ring. If it happens for either team in this happens for any team in this County good, but just let it happen and let your play do the talking not your opinion. it takes more then desire to win.......It takes talent, hard work, and most of all GOOD LUCK...Sometmes your best is not good enough, and you have got to go that extra mile.....The playoffs are goin to test you and give you everything you want. Keep your eyes on the prize and leave it all on the field. Understand what kind of mark you leave in the record books if you take this county somewhere is hasn't beenin 30 plus years..That goes for both teams

If Caldwell is out it may not be that bad. He wwas out early in the season and we went on about our business. Taylor played big in those games and he will need to do the same in this one....Covington had one heck of a defensive game against Dyersburg last week, but thats not that hard. Our offense was predictable most of the game, and in the fourth quarter it definetly was. Beau had 25 carries and probably 12 in the fourth alone. I love him at FB but that wasn't the answer that jumpstarted the offense. It got us the win, but it didn't help the O. 10-0 would have meant nothing and 9-1 means nothing. Like the guy said. Its 0-0. you got a 5 game season and you must go undefeated. There is no roomj for all the mistakes or penalites. Fumbles, dropped balls, holding penalites. Its all got to stop now or you seniors will be sitting at home looking at that poster of that State Title ring while you clean out your locker......... No Regrets. No Fear...No Mistakes...Leave it all on the filed and don't leave yourself to thinking well if we wouldn't have fumbled that play or had that holding penality that brought back that touchdown....No of it.......Its time to shine Trojans....Look at your team mate beside you and let him know....He better get his job done becuz you going to do yours, and if you both acheive your goal you will be victorious........... I hate watching all this potenial being wasted by bad play and we have all seen it the last feew weeks, but this team has been slapped in the face the last two weeks, and I hope they now understand anyone can beat them and they pull together to make this playoff run.......Lets go boys........Together we attack........GO TROJANS!!1 I will try not to focus on the things we have done wrong and concentrate on the team at hand, so if anybody knows anything about Trezvent let me know...I want a scouting report that means more then their record cuz I have already seen that.

I am gonna tell you one thing if Dyersburg plays like they have the last four weeks then that is the place to watch a football game. They will make sure its interesting, because they are stinking it up. I believe that if they play the way they have since week 6 DHS will be sitting at home next week wondering what happened to their Championship season. If you want a good game come to Dyersburg. They don't play well in the first round, They aren't playing like much of a team right now anyway, and if they continue to give the ball up, and have stupid penalites you will be wondering who will take it in the fourth quarter................ And on this thread....This is amazing the idea of people actually talking about a game that is two weeks away is amazing. There is no way we are doing this....I hate to say it guys but I wouldn't expect for this rematch to happen...Dyersburg beat Frayser early in the season. They won 42-14. but it could have been worse. Frayser didn't punt one time, Even on 4 and 17 on the 5 yard line...It was horrific. They gave us a lot of points, and like I said it could have been worse. The way DC is playing right now they SHOULD win handly...On DHS's side...I don't know a lot about Trezvent if their record means anything we should be ok, but in Dyersburg we know not to lok at that....Covington finished 2-8, and they should have beat us last week, and Sheffield did beat us two years ago in the first round with a 2-8 record..... so who knows...They are from Memphis and there are a lot of athletes there so you never know what your gonna get.........In the second round assuming we will both get there the real challenges start......Dyersburg should have to play a Mitchell team that is stacked. The have played really well this year against region oppinents. And we can't over lok them becuz they are really good.....DC should face Sheffield, or maybe Haywood........Sheffield is pretty good. They beat everyone in their region except Mitchell. but Mitchell beat the brakes off Sheffield, so you don't know what your gonna get...Haywood could upset them and if so DC had some trouble with Haywood. I really feel like Haywood could have beat DC if you take out the safety they give up and a missed field goal, so well see....If both teams get there then we can talk but right now I don't see it.....Good luck to both teams and hope to see you in week 3

I'm just going to say that if the Trojans play at the level they are playing at right now they probably won't make it though week 11. The mistakes are getting real old, these are things that should be happen. Bowling got comfortable with the FB and stuck with it. Bo was amazing at FB. I still think you could have ran Cunningham or Ellis as a great change of pace,, but liked how tough BO ran....Taylor was shut down. Looks like they were out to keep him and Caldweel contained. Caldwell can just flat out beat anybody, the kid is good. You can't stop him. Hope he isn't sitting out next week. We still are aking a lot of mistakes and if you take them out we win a little more impressively. I notice that we get something that works and we settle for it. If you give us the pitch we will take it. You give us the fullback we will take it for what it is worth, and if you let logan run he will......They just have got to fix the mistakes.....Good luck in the playoffs.
