THIS IS A BIG GAME FOR MTCS. A STEPPING STONE TO THE REST OF THE SEASON. THE KIDS ARE FIRED UP AND FOCUSED. MOORE COUNTY CAN BEAT ANYONE THEY PLAY IF THEY ARE TAKEN TOO LIGHTLY. MTCS QUARTERBACK IVEY IS ON THE VERGE OF DOING REMARKEABLE THINGS. HE IS THE TEAM LEADER AND TAKING CHARGE. THE STABLE OF RUNNIG BACKS ARE VERY IMPRESSIVE. I WISH FRIDAY WAS HERE ALREADY.

EITHER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT , IT WAS A BIG GAME FOR MTCS.I UNDERSTAND THAT WATERTOWN HAD FRESHMEN PLAYING. BUT MTCS ALSO HAS SEVERAL PLAYING. ROBERTS PICKED OF ONE AND RETURNED IT 50+ FOR TD. TAILBACK DAKOTA ALSO A FRESMAN HAD A GOOD NIGHT RUNNING.2NDS PLAYED SOME OF 3RD QTR AND ALL OF 4TH AND HELD WATERTOWN TO ZERO POINTS. THERE ARE ALOT OF EXCITING THINGS HAPPENING IN COUGAR COUNTRY. YES I KNOW THE SCORE WAS 32-0. BUT BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAY , IT COULD HAVE BEEN 50-0. GIVE CREDIT WHERE IT IS DUE. TO PLAY FCS HEAD TO HEAD AND THEN BEAT WATERTOWN.IT IS A BIG STEP FROM LAST YEAR. THE COUGARS ARE JUST STARTING TO GEL.

AS WE ALL KNOW THE TENNESSEAN IS AWAYS RIGHT. SERIOUSLY IT COMES DOWN TO THE KIDS. WHO WANTS IT AND IS WILLING TO WORK FOR IT.

INTENSITY IS THE WORD FOR THE GAME. MTCS APPEARS TO BE VERY FOCUSED YET RELAXED THIS WEEK. BOTH THE O AND D HAVE HAD GOOD REPS. I AM EXCITED.

HOW IS YOUR DAY GOING , COFFEEBREAK? MTCS HAD A GREAT PRACTICE YESTERDAY, AND ARE FIRED UP.

WELL BOTH TEAMS DROPPED THEIR WEEK 0 OPENERS. BOTH SHOULD BE HUNGRY FOR A FIRST VICTORY. MTCS LOOKED PRETTY GOOD AGAINST A VERY GOOD FRIENDSHIP TEAM. A FEW DROPPED PASSES AND A MENTAL MISTAKE AND THINGS COULD HAVE TOTALLY DIFFERENT. THE COUGARS HAVE A DEFINITE HIT EM IN THE TEETH DEFENSE.

COACH SCHARCH AND STAFF WILL NOT LET THE BOYS LOOSE INTENSITY. SPRINGHILL 28 MT PLEASANT 7

MTCS PLAYED AT FRIENDSHIP, LOST 14 -0. THE SCORE COULD BE COMPLETELY THE OPPOSITE EXCEPT FOR 2 PLAYS. BUT THAT IS FOOTBALL. IT WAS A REAL JAW JACKER. BOTH TEAMS FLYING ALL OVER THE FIELD. MTCS IS FOR REAL AND NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY. MTCS WINS AT HOME AGAINST WATERTOWN.

BOTTOM LINE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU SCHEDULE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 100% GIMME GAME. THE COACHES COACH, THE PLAYERS PLAY AND AS LONG AS BOTH GIVE IT THEIR ALL, THAT IS ALL YOU CAN ASK. LEAVE EVERYTHING ON THE FIELD AND YOU HAVE NO REGRETS. THAT BEING SAID I THINK THAT MTCS HAS A GREAT CHANCE TO OPEN A LOT OF EYES.IT WILL BE TOUGH GOING TO FCS TO PLAY, BUT I FEEL THAT THE GUYS ARE READY AND FIRED UP.

DITRICT 9 IS ALWAYS A COMPETITIVE DISTRICT. IT IS VERY PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL. I KNOW THAT SEVERAL TEAMS ARE DOWN DUE TO GRADUATION. I HAVENT HEARD MUCH ABOUT SCRIMMAGES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY INSIGHT ON ANY. I KNOW THAT MTCS HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY BETTER FROM SCRIMMAGE TO SCRIMMAGE AND THEY SHOULD BE VERY MUCH IN THE HUNT IN DISTRICT 9.

I AGREE . TURNOVERS ARE CRUCIAL IN ANY GAME, BUT AS YOU SAID, IT IS A DAVID VS GOLIATH SITUATION. BALL CONTROL FOR MTCS IS IMPERATIVE. I TOO AM EXCITED TO SEE IF THE COUGARS CAN ROAR. LAST YEAR I BELIEVE MTCS HAD 8 TURNOVERS, THIS YEAR SHOULD BE A BIG TURNAROUND. IF THE COUGARS COME OUT AND KNOCK FCS IN THE TEETH FROM THE BEGINNING ,FCS COULD POSSIBLY BE PLAYING CATCH UP......

I THINK MTCS COULD VRY WELL BE THE SLEEPER. I HAVE SEEN THEM IN 2 SCRIMMAGES AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THEM AGAIN THIS FRIDAY AT NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN.

WELL HERE GOES THE DISTRICT RUNS. IT SHOULD BE A VERY INTERESTING COUPLE OF WEEKS. FORREST AND CASCADE SHOULD BE VERY GOOD. NOW IS THE TIME THAT PITCHING NEEDS TO STEP UP. THERE WILL BE A LOT OF GUT CHECKS.....GOOD LUCK TO ALL .

AS FAR AS FORREST, IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. THEY ARE WINNING BALL GAMES, THAT IS THE BOTTOM LINE.

MTCS HIT THE BALL PRETTY WELL LAST NIGHT. IVEY HAS REALLY COME ALIVE THIS LAST SEVERAL GAMES. I BELIEVE HE WAS 3-4 AGAIN. BRAD BROWN PITCHED A COMPLETE GAME 8 K'S 1 0 WALKS AND 3 HITS. ROSS PEPPER HAD SEVERAL GREAT PLAYS AT SHORT. I PRAY THAT THEY STAY FOCUSED AND USE THESE GAMES AS A SPRING BOARD THRU THE SEASON. THEY HAVE LOST SEVERAL GAMES BY 2 RUNS OR LESS AFTER LEADING INTO THE LATE INNINGS. THEY HAVE SHOWED THAT THEY CAN PLAY WITH ANY ONE.

YES CORTEZ DID PLAY, AND IT APPEARS THAT HE HAS HIS SWING BACK. HE IS HITTING THE BALL HARD. LAST NIGHT ETHAN ANDERSON GAVE HIS ALL .15 STRIKEOUTS. 2 HITS. 2 WALKS AND NO EARNED RUNS IN 93 PITCHES. HE PUT ON A GREAT PERFORMANCE. BOYD WAS TAKEN TOO LIGHTLY, THE BOYS WILL NOT TAKE IT FOR GRANTED TONITE. IT HAS BEEN DIFFICULT WITH FRAZIER BEING OUT. AND NOW WITH HERRING OUT FOR THE YEAR, IT WAS A BLOW TO ALL INVOLVED. JACOB IS SUCH A CLASS ACT. CHARLIE SHOULD BE BACK NEXT WEEK, GOOD LORD WILLING. WE NEED SOME OF THE OLDER KIDS TO GET PUMPED AND TAKE CHARGE. THE YOUNGER KIDS MUST STEP UP TO FILL IN. THEY ALL NEED TO FOLLOW ROSS PEPPERS HUSTLE AND COMMITTMENT. HE IS SUCH A ROLE MODEL TO THE YOUNGER KIDS.

IT HAS BEEN A BUSY WEEKEND. THOUGH WE DROPPED 3 CLOSE GAMES TO AAA TEAMS, IT HAS BEEN A LEARNING EXPERIENCE. WE JUMP BACK INTO DISTRICT PLAY WITH BOYD, AND I KNOW THE BOYS WILL BE FIRED UP AND READY TO GO. I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE HITTING OF IVEY AND ROSS. THEIR BATS ARE COMING ALIVE. SEVERAL YOUNG KIDS GOT PLENTY OF PLAYING TIME AND KNOW THEIR ROLES. THE COUGARS ARE GOING TO BE CLICKING REAL QUICK.

BIG NIGHT TONITE FOR MTCS. MTCS 10 PAGE 0.JACOB HERRING GAVE 4 2/3 STRONG INNINGS.3 HITS 8 STRIKE OUTS. IVEY STARLING , GREAT JOB COMING IN AND CLOSING IT OUT. TOTAL TEAM EFFORT. BIG DAY TOMORROW WITH CLARKSVILLE NE AND MORRISTOWN COMING TO MTCS.I AM EXCITED FOR THE KIDS AND STAFF.

YES THAT WAS SOME GAME LAST NIGHT AT CASCADE! MTCS PITCHER ANDERSON WAS SOMETHING ELSE.6 STRIKEOUTS, 1 WALK AND GAVE UP ONLY 4HITS, IN ONLY 80 PITCHES. HE IS A CLAS ACT. NOW WE HAVE A TOUGH 4 DAYS WITH PAGE , CLARKSVILLE NE, MORRISTOWN WEST, AND MCMINN. IT WILL BE A BIG TEST FOR THE YOUNG TEAM., I AM PROUD OF OUR KIDS AND OUR COACHES.

I DO EXPECT MTCS TO COME OUT WITH A GREAT ATTITUDE VS CASCADE THIS EVENING. THEY CAN SURELY PLAY WITH ANYONE, BARRING INJURIES. I AM REALLY IMPRESSED BY THEIR POSITIVE ATTITUDES. I FEEL AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES MATURITY WILL START TO SETTLE IN.

IT LOOKS AS IF THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY COMPETITIVE YEAR. IT APPEARS AS IF ANYONE CAN WIN ON ANY GIVEN DAY. I MUST SAY THOUGH THAT I AM VERY PROUD OF OUR COUGARS. VERY YOUNG AND VERY COMPETITIVE

WELL I AM GLAD THAT THEY ARE BOTH DOING WELL. WE PLAY FRA TOMORROW,,JV AT 1300 AND VARSITY 1530 THEN MOORE COUNTY MONDAY. I AM SURE THAT EAGLEVILLE IS LIKE MTCS , A BUSY SCHEDULE THIS WEEK COMING UP. DID YOU ALL PLAY LAST NGHT ,IF SO HOW DID YOU DO?

I AM LOOKIING FORWARD TO PLAYING YOU(EAGLEVILLE). YOUR TEAM HAS IMPROVED SO MUCH OVER THE LAST COUPLE YEARS. HOW IS THE YOUNG PATRICK WOODS AND RYAN HAMMONDS DOING? THEY SHOULD HELP WITH THEIR SPEED. WHO DOES EAGLEVILLE HAVE NEXT?

MTCS WON 7-4 OVER CANNON COUNTY. UGLY BUT IT WAS A WIN. WE PLAYED SEVERAL FRESHMEN, THE SENIORS AND SOPHOMORES WERE ON THEIR CLASS TRIPS. HOW DID THE REST OF THE REGION DO?

WELL TONITE IS THE NIGHT. MTCS OPENS WITH CANNON COUNTY . THE BIG QUESTION IS HOW WILL THE FRESHMEN AND JR'S DO. ALL THE SOPHOMORES AND SENIORS ARE ON CLASS TRIPS THIS WEEK. I AM PRETTY CURIOUS TO SEE HOW HE YOUNG KIDS REACT TO OPENING DAY JITTERS. OF COURSE WE DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT CANNON COUNTY. I KNOW THAT THEY WERE SCHEDULED FOR A GAME LAST NIGHT WITH JACKSON COUNTY. I KNOW THAT MTCS WILL RELY HEAVILY ON FRAZIER, HERRING AND CORTEZ FOR LEADERSHIP AND EXPERIENCE. GO GET EM COUGARS.
