Absolutely a great atmosphere. The real football fans, the ones who knew that this Beech team was probably one of the top 2 or 3 teams in 5a this year, were greatly looking forward to this game with a bit of trepidation knowing what might occur to a young, inexperienced defense. I just hope the casual fans don't quit on this team due to this outcome. This team could be good with more seasoning and coaching.

They'll definitely be in the hunt, but their defense was almost as bad as Henry County's tonight. Their kicking game as well has to improve dramatically.

Now what?

Unbelievable performance tonight.

Considering the Patriots poor tackling and missed assignments made Liberty's backs look like all-pro's, it's entirely possible if those misstakes occur again.

If HC tackles like they did against Liberty, Jalen Hurd may go for 250 himself.

Anthony transfered in last fall (maybe around Halloween?). Not sure from where, but he's a good kid.

I'd think that Maryville fans would be more sensitive than others about the difficulties of transitioning from high school standout to college after the summer they had. Hopefully you are an isolated incident.

Agreed on Beech. Ridgeway also loses a ton of great players. Not sure about Gallatin. Seems like Hendersonville loses quite a bit as well. What about two darkhorses: Dyer County and Station Camp? Did they lose much?

If that's the case then Henry County brought approximately 6000 fans. That's just an incredibly insane number for a school that far away.

Powell and Henry County (especially HC) have certainly helped the attendance figures this year.

A couple of you guys said you were TTU alums, and I must admit that I was impressed with their campus and facilities (what little I saw). What I was wondering is what is the capacity for their stadium? It really says something when Henry County, 3 1/2 hours away from Cookeville (or more depending on who's driving ) fills up 75% of their sidelines and was as loud and active as any game I've ever seen from them.

End of discussion. Thank you BRC

For me one of the biggest blunders, and you probably can't put it on the announcers, was that during the starting line-up graphics about half of the players were listed as being in the wrong grade. I also never once heard mentioned that Andrew Jelks was a Mr. Football finalist and Vanderbilt commitment.

After watching the 5A game live and online, I noticed quite a few inaccuracies and inability to announce the correct players. Of course an announcer is only as good as his spotters, so I'm not going to put that at their feet.

As a Kentucky fan let me first say that I'm glad he's headed to Lexington. At the high school level he is an absolute beast. Sees the hole well, ran aggressively through tackles while still keeping his balance and showed nice speed. However I think the speed issue is what kept him from being a higher rated prospect. There were a couple of occasions where HC was able to run him down (Hilliard in particular, who's fast himself) when the kid from Ridgeway would have been gone. It'll be interesting to see if his aggressive running style is able to transfer over to the next level. But still, a great player. As for the sirens, I was there live and have since watched it online, and I hardly ever noticed them.

Will be interesting to see if he gets anywhere close to 40 touches tomorrow night. And if he does, do they dare put him on defense too?

As far as beating Liberty, well, a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then. And I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree about Milan, but I think Milan would do what St. George's just did to them all game long.

Well, they're a .500 team that didn't even make a watered-down playoff system, that's a start. Their only wins were against a sorry 3-win Crockett County, a sorry 2-win Northside, a sorry 2-win McNairy, a sorry 2-win JCM and a pathetic winless Fayette Ware. Those 5 teams combined only won 9 games. HC and Milan, who are head and shoulders better than "the best team in West Tennessee" had that in the regular season. And somehow you regard USJ's win against average South Side as something special. So no, I don't have to say that South Side is not a good team, everything I stated says it for me.

Wait. On what planet is South Side considered a "good" team?

Whitehaven, Henry County, and Milan would like to have a word with you.

Seeing as how they've played this year, in particular that epic stinkbomb in Lexington, is practicing in UT's facilities really a good thing? I'd be afraid that the Powell players caught whatever illnesses the Vols had.

He did go to Ole Miss, so it's not like he was a total miss by the scouting public. Also I thought I heard that his grades were the biggest thing that prevented many schools from recruiting him.
