Jackson Christian, 2006

You are right - this is a great year for 1A football in region 7 and 8. Hate to see it change so much next year. I am sure all the teams have improved from the beginning of the season. Seems that most of the playoff matchups will be exciting games, regardless of how 7A pans out. Let's go get them, 8A!!!!

Any opinion on the refs Manassas vs Middleton?

BIGRED, this is a fun topic. Thanks for keeping it going. Trinity's biggest attribute is heart, determination. Our players leave it all on the field every week. That is definitely as big as any other team in Tennessee.

True, but so were Manassus and JCS, and Middleton (bigger but not faster), and Chester County, and . . . . we were in all those games to the very end.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.

The spectators should get a big bang for our buck, just as we have all season. Lexington will be motivated to win, based on last year's game, where TCA's subs played most of the 4th quarter. It will be another close one, but I expect TCA to pull it out. A home game for Trinity, and senior night. Good luck to both teams for a deep run in the playoffs.

You are right, Johns Hopkins is DIII

Hewitt Tomlin QB - Trinity Christian is quarterback at Johns Hopkins Starting as a freshman!

Josh LeNoir, Trinity Christian Kicker also plays fullback and linebacker Between field goals, PATs and touchdowns, he has scored 104 points so far this season. Against Fayette Academy Friday night, he scored 4 touchdowns, kicked a 37 yd field goal (his long is 47), and kicked 5 PATs. His kick offs usually land in the end zone. Against JCS his 4th quarter kickoff went out of the end zone. That is after playing both ways all game.

I agree. This season is flying by, way too fast. The TCA players and coaches are taking us for a fantastic ride!! Thanks, guys. Keep on working hard, playing your hearts out, and demonstrating your courage. The fans will be there for you.

Are all-region picks based on position? Are a certain number of players selected per region? How many? If there are several impressive quarterbacks, can only one be selected all-region?

Trinity's kicker is Josh LeNoir #20. Also plays linebacker and fullback #12 is Hagen Nelson Need to consider #1 QB Jabriel Washington

Middleton is definitely improved. They have gotten a strong middle school program going, too. Coach Murphy is taking the Grand Junction players home by bus after practice. That has made a major difference in their numbers Most did not start until school started. Once they know the sport better, if the coaches can keep them playing, Middleton will have a team. If I am counting correctly, TCA has 8 players playing both ways, sometimes more.

Defense needs to be addressed in terms of players going both ways. Every team TCA has played so far was a lot deeper, even Middleton (about 60 players dressed out). How many players play offense and defense for FA?

TCA played well, with a ton of heart and determination. Its tough to get far behind twice in the same game, but we almost pulled off the win. The time keeping issues certainly hurt us on the last drive.The bigger, deeper teams give us preparation for playoff games. And it sure did "feel" like the refs need some more training before they are grouped together for another game.

tcaee: stockerd is right. You should be out there. You are an athlete, just bloomed a little later than some of the other guys. Remember Andrew Simmons? He was quarterback in 2003, the first time TCA beat USJ. Was helping the ATC/waterboys, and got talked into playing. He had not been very impressive up to that point, but wow was his senior year amazing. Did the same thing in basketball. You are better than you think you are!!!

Way to go TCA!! With most (8) of our players playing both ways, including the quarterback and the kicker, it is hard to hang in there against the deeper teams. But we did it this time!! Sure am proud of our young men, and their coaches!! Hats off to JCS. Excellent sportsmanship. Lots of helping players up off the ground, pats on the back, etc. A fun game to watch.

The Jackson Sun has reported two long field goals: Kyle Youmans (Dyersburg) 49 yds Josh LeNoir (Trinity) 47 yds Who else is kicking the long field goals with success?

GCPioneer, you are right on target. Thanks for coming to Jabriel's defense. He is amazing for a 15 year old 10th grader. He is not the college athlete people expect to see. I appreciate you buffering some of the pressure he is bound to be feeling. Without Jabriel, we would be back to 10 years ago, when we shot off fireworks if we scored a touchdown.

Trinity players have nothing to be ashamed of (except maybe the runback at the end of the first half). But even at that, you can't blame one player. It looked like every player on the team got a hand on him and could not make the tackle. 8 players played both ways. On a hot, humid night against a bigger, deeper team, it is amazing we kept the score close, and had a bonafide chance to win. The reason GC did not break the game open is the kicking game. Our kicker, who plays fullback and outside linebacker put most of his kickoffs in the end zone. He made his PATs, field goal, and set GC back deep with his punts. He also caught a touchdown pass. This one player scored 12 of TCA's 24 points. But, IMHO if GC had a kicking game, TCA would not have been able to swap leads and hang in there.
