HC better have a good pass defense or this game is gonna be rough for them. I believe this is the first time Will Kriesky has faced HC

If that’s the case they might put 50 on the board

and the region that they would represent will get swept in the first round of the playoffs each year.CHS would be the only team with a chance of winning a 6A playoff game.  IMHO Montgomery County’s ban on Middle School football puts all their programs behind the proverbial 8 ball.  That coupled with virtually no community support, outside of CHS, solidifies the continuing struggle of these programs.  No coach will want to battle the odds.  We won’t see another Esau Latham in Clarksville 

They would get swept, but all 4 teams would still get a quarter of the 1st round gate; and that’s what they’re really interested in

Everyone is missing the point when it comes to all of the Clarksville teams playing up to 6A… it’s not about competing, it’s about drastically reducing your travel, thus saving the school district a ton of money (which is really all they care about anyways) and it guarantees 4 Clarksville teams will always make the playoffs (which has never happened?)

Completely baffling this coaching staff still can’t get the ball to #7

I can agree I thought we would see something new from this new offensive coordinator but it’s the same isht different butthole. How many times can we get nowhere pounding it up the middle and get nothing and keep going back to the same thing. It makes it extremely frustrating to watch. 

We've got smallish receivers, no screens?  We use to run a ton of playaction; don't see that much anymore.  RPO's maybe?  Brentwood tore Henry County up with those the past 2 years.  Morgan Barrick plays pretty well against South Gibson, gets what 15 carries or so?  1 carry against Springfield, played more snaps on defense.  Last year our tight ends were a huge key, especially off of play action.  This year, I think their only catch of the season was the throwback screen against Springfield.  They've had #4 on varsity for 1 1/2 years, and they still have no idea what to do with him.  We have a quarterback that has power 5 offers, yet we've played 3 different qb's throughout the season.  Just baffling.

What are you talking about? HC drove nearly 80 yards just couldn’t punch it in. And we lost our #1 running back on the 1st play after a 9 yard run. I’m not sure about Springfield they haven’t moved the ball at all. Also #7 didn’t play probably our best receiver. These are 2 top tear teams. Trash talking a bunch of kids seems kinda pathetic. Both teams are leaving it all on the field. 

Been working all weekend so I haven't had time to respond.  The offense is pathetic.  Not trash talking kids at all, didn't mention one name.  The offense is more than just the players.  It's the formations, substitutions, play calling.  Putting kids in positions to be successful.  It's been mentioned before, but the offense has scored 1 touchdown in the last 10 quarters (Northwest doesn't count, they're essentially a middle school team at this point).  That's pathetic, regardless of competition. 

This Henry county offense is pathetic.  Has been all season.

I heard two things in regard to this; the truth is probably a combination of things.  1) apparently there was/is a rather large sinkhole on the northern side of the field and there might have been some hesitation to place a rather heavy and expensive scoreboard in unsettled soil.  2) it was much easier to wire in the south end zone since it’s already adjacent to the concessions and various electric transformers.  

I was also told that the end zone stands and band were moved because of the sinkhole.

Does anyone from HC know why they moved the scoreboard to the south end zone?

yes, it'll be awesome when it's completed in time for the 2023 season

HC 34  Summit 17.

Then, The Patriots go to Cookeville and beat our ole Pal Coach Gaddis 24-10 in the Championship.

I'd be shocked if they held Summit to 17 points; I'm not sure they can hold them to 34.

Oh ok gotcha. That was ridiculous to travel to NE that year after going undefeated on the season and undefeated in the region. 

It was, but it made for an unbelievable atmosphere.  Henry County probably had a couple hundred fans waiting in the parking lot by 3 o'clock that afternoon.  It seems they finally relented and opened up the gates around 4 or 4:30.  By 5:30 the entire visitor section was filled with Henry County fans.  Northeast had Clarksville police lined up on the home sidelines, blocking Henry County fans from sitting in the stands on the home sideline, despite the fact that there was plenty of room.  Because of this, many Henry County fans were forced to stand around the fence circling the field in order to watch the game.  By halftime, fans were probably 3 deep, circling the entire perimeter of the field, much like two teams facing off in the prison yard.

and strangely enough, the only playoff game that Clarksville Northeast hosted in 2013 was that semifinal game against Henry County.  They were on the road for the first, second, and third rounds; pulling the upsets off against Lincoln County, Hillsboro, and Gallatin along the way

Who was the higher seeded team? I bet HC was but they had to travel so this is how the rule got changed.

Correct me if i am wrong

Bingo!  Henry County went undefeated during the regular season, winning the region and thereafter quad 4, but had to travel to Clarksville Northeast who pulled off a couple of upsets winning quad 3.  Due to the Maryville Rule, Northeast hosted; but everyone realized how stupid it was to have an undefeated regional champ have to travel to play a team they had already defeated in the regular season.  Thus the Henry County Rule was introduced the next year I believe.

Bottom line if Henry County beats Brighton then round 3 is at Patriot Stadium. If Brighton wins then yes they would go to play whoever wins the Clarksville game. Lol come on guys.

Yeah, of course Henry County would host.  Do we not remember 2013?  It's the Henry County Rule for crying out loud.

Henry County fans, I have a question that I’m curious about and I’m merely looking for clarity.  Not an accusative inquiry.

Is the student population in the building 9-12 or is it 10-12?  I seem to remember (correctly or incorrectly) that the school is only 10-12 and that’s the number that is turned in.

Again, I’m not asking to start anything.  I honestly am looking to get some clarity to your student body.  I know there are some county schools in the state that are K-8 and then 9-12 and others have K-5, 6-8, 9-12.  
I myself am part of the first freshmen class to attend Gallatin in 1984.  Until that time we had a separate building for our freshmen.

Henry County High School is 10-12; Grove is where the 9th graders go.  HCHS is usually around 1000 kids, give or take a couple dozen, while Grove is usually around 330-350, thus the combined enrollment that has sat around 1350 for many years now

Anybody know their enrollment   Sounds like they are trying to beat the system 

https://tssaa.org/article/school-classifications-by-sport-2017-2021#di-football

through the last 4 year cycle, henry county was close to the middle of 5a enrollment figures.  they were nearly 300 kids above the highest 4a level and 150 from moving up to 6a.  they're not hiding 300 students in their virtual academy so they can move down to 4a if that's what you're implying, and they're nowhere close to moving up to 6a...so it's all a moot point.

Henry County created a separate virtual school with its own state school id code.  i'd think those students wouldn't count for henry county's enrollment, but it's such a small number it's irrelevant anyways (like max of 50, if that).  henry county will be 5a with or without them next year

Brentwood beat Ravenwood in OT. 

and the ut commit never played a down 

Why not play in Paris on Thursday?  Seems like half of the state moved their games up a day.  Does Beech not want to play a long away game on a weekday?

Anyone get to see Westview at Henry County Friday night? I haven't heard anything in the rumor mill on what they looked like. But for that matter I don't really know what we looked like either. 

Dresden came out on fire, played hard all night long.  Henry County's size just wore them out.  5 for Dresden was impressive, ran hard.

I heard to conflicting scores. I heard Mckenzie won 34 to 0 but seen on WBBJ that Westview won by the same score. Nobody has said anything either way. 

McKenzie won 34-0...Westview looked pitiful, wouldn't surprise me if they had -50 yards for the half.
