my opinion of Peabody is quickly changing because of these two, guys its football I got new for you, trash is talked, people get hit early, people get hit late, people cuss, oh no, yes its true, you guys must never have played because its war when the ball is snapped and war is ugly, but aftr the whistle blows its over and a good player will help you up......just to knock you down again! its the name of the game. I have seen nothing but graciousness and congratulations and praise towards Peabody and what does aville get in return? accusations of dirty play and shame for saying that aville might win in a rematch. we've all wished you luck for next week but be aware, you will get tackled and you will get trash talked and if marion county coach is smart he will try to hit qb early and often.

still plenty of talent in the cupboard. I sincerely believe this class done a lot to build up those behind them. I see a very talented qb, a two headed rb monster, a complete line minus te coming back, and most of the defense. will miss playmaking ability of #17 on both sides of ball but someone or maybe multiple will step up and fill that role. remember when peyton manning graduated from Tennessee, a lot of people thought the end was nigh, and what happens next, they get it done in 98 with a few different pieces and players who stepped up. I can see this happening for aville next year. I would love to see an uptempo style implemented, no huddle w hand signals or bands, not to be used exclusively but as a weapon when needed. Peabody is going to 1a, tca will be down somewhat we hope, huntingdon will be good if they are staying in 2a, its wide open again and I like our chances to finish business in the playoffs in 2015. could be wrong but its fun to speculate.

This is a joke of a post. Bounty?? Ejections for tackling? Lol. Aville got after the qb and did a pretty descent job of containment, sure he got his yards but his arm hurt us as much or more than his feet. This is football, number 7 I am sure is not used to getting hit, no apologies for playing physical. I guarantee you Peabody plays Aville again they lose, play tca again they lose. Enjoy your ride while it's still rolling, nobody bashing Peabody, hitting qb is a good game plan for anyone in any level. I can see where 7 would be unstoppable in flag football. As for adjustments at half, I am not following that line of thinking. Aville only had one drive into the wind out of two qtrs that worked. Trenton played good d on that end of field, forced punts and scored. If Aville doesn't fumble outcome is prob different if they took most time off clock. It was looking like before turnover whoever had ball last would win. Oh well, back to the drawing board and into cville for y'all.

Ps. What's the story behind Peabody? Just curious. Why is it called Trenton "Peabody"?? Anyone know? Also facilities top notch, it is a public school correct? Located in Gibson co?

Defiantly was not lack of heart not did Aville let up and cruise, we could not move the ball going into the wind except on the one deep ball to Burcham early in 3rd and that caught everyone a little off guard that we would attempt the deep ball into the wind. Just couldn't put a drive together going that direction in 1st or 3rd qtrs. top to bottom tca and Aville more talented and more polished, more experienced...what's that get us? More shopping time for Xmas I guess cause peabodys still playing.

2 plays defined the game as they often do, the kickoff return for Peabody and the fumble for Aville driving for lead late. Rb was carrying the ball haphazardly all night and in wrong hand, it caught up to him. Congrats to Peabody on the win. Back and forth all night. 3-0, 6-0, 6-3, 6-10, 6-17, 6-24, 12-24, 14-24, 21-24, 28-24, 28-31, 35-31, 42-31. It was fun to watch. Qb running didn't seem to hurt as much as a few big pass plays did. Qb is as shifty as they come and has a great arm. Everyone remembers how Memphis Bball tigers lost NCAA after being up by 7 with 1 minute and change left on clock. I had to go back and watch espn classic to see exactly what went wrong, it was several little things, as was the case last night with Aville up 24-6. Move the sticks a couple times and things are different. Alas, we lost and gave up 42 points whether it was mistakes or special teams, or fumbles, good teams just can't do that. I say this with respect to those programs mentioned, I don't believe the best team won last night, nor do I believe the best team won two weeks ago in round two (tca). However the team that played best won each time (Peabody). Tca and Aville were loaded with I believe more talent and were better teams as a whole, however they got beat by Peabody who played a little better with what they had each night. To me the state rankings were right. 1. Tca 2. Adamsville 3. Peabody. Tca could very well have won gold with a slightly modified game plan. I would have liked to seen them run on 1st and 2nd down and have an automatic 3rd down passing machine and run clock and keep ball away from offenses like peabodys. But they would if had to disregard passing achievements. 2. Aville could have won it if they don't make little mistakes that add up to big things. Transversely, a faster paced more uptempo offense could have served the cards well from time to time. Peabody has been a good team all year and has played fearless in the playoffs and not made the little mistakes. Any of the three would have represented the west well maybe Peabody can show everyone the gap is finally closed between east and west. Good luck to them.

You'll be watching again this year too.

Good post, we like to grit and grind! We are a blue collar team and experience should help, will be close either way, mistakes and turnovers will make the difference.

aville was firing off the ball from both 3 and 4 point stances trying to get a hand on the runner who had blockers out in front. that resulted in a few riverside players getting banged up during a few plays. idk if you call it a wing t hybrid or what riverside was running but the way the stop it is to get low and cut out the blockers legs and let linebackers clean up. all of which is legal and all of which worked. if they (rs) doesn't like it they should consider changing offensive schemes because to defend it properly that's what you do.

Not just if your dad runs old coach out of town so son can play preferred position. Come one come all to Aville where you will be cared for and respected. Young people flock to excellence and a place where they are cared for and can be cultivated into young men who become productive members of society.

Could have fooled us. Let's see you played Mckenzie (2a) in preseason. Kossuth (small mississippi school). Scott's hill 2a beat u in jamboree. Lost to riverside 2a Aville 2a Jackson Christian 2a. Dang y'all do play some tough teams for a 4a school. So much so that you would have been in next to last place in district 15a or maybe last depending on if you could handle Middleton or not. Let's get real here. You guys beat fayette ware who hasn't won a game in almost a decade. You beat a 1-9 Jackson south side team and a 0-6 bolivar team. 3 wins to teams with a combined winning percentage of .080 (that is horrible). Aville plays anyone who can play not just if y name="Macnarry" post="3264989" timestamp="1415926664"] cardfan, did you read the news today? McNairy Central requested to play in a tougher region. The Bobcats are not the team trying to pull out of the county rivalry. Our actions speak for us. Our team wants to play a tough schedule.

Na na na na hey hey hey is now un classy? What? Pitiful accusation. Can someone please post stats from this game? I'd like to see the run vs pass ratio between the two teams. Congrats to tca on a good season and qb for record. There will always be that argument that running more would wear down defenses and keep opponents offense off the field more and scores lower. But then you wouldn't get passing records and all that. What was Peabody run/ pass ratio??

Aville got same penalty (sideline warning).

6 td's no extra points, idk if u seen mchs kick extra points, not a sure thing and they had not scored offensive td so only one attempt on one defensive score of the year up to this point. Could also be 3 td with 3 2pt conversions (24 pts) and two td no extra point or 2 point conv. (12) 36 is easy to score

Fayette ware I have always said would be a great destination for a coach. Always look to be loaded with potential. Just need a good staff and what I hear this year is different, with a good staff. They looked very good at jamboree and I think they will win tonight 36-24.

as for the game tonight mchs vs. Fayette ware....well someone is bound to win one! mchs hasn't scored offensively and Fayette ware hasn't won since 2008.

this is a good post but I believe the series should end, not forever but for a couple years anyway. people in selmer will always complain but would complain less if aville wasn't on schedule. there is no recruiting going on just informed decisions being made by parents and kids who can look with their own eyes (like fri night) and make a decision. the ref was not wrong on that play fri night either. it was the correct call of an incomplete pass, know your football. also cc is a very good up and coming program in 4a and it is fun to play them every year. some examples of why series should end: dad radio announcer accuses aville of running up score at 36-0 in 3rd. when as recently as 2000 score was 62-0 mchs, yeah that's running up score. scoreboard time mysteriously stops working in late 3rd, and I know mercy rule may have been in effect but game was over supper fast after that. fans on home side heckling aville coaches in press box escorted out of game. coach goes ape $&%* in first qtr. setting tone for everyone to act that way which leads to mchs player being ejected later. I think aville is tired of the drama and seriously need to be challenged more than they have been the last few years during this window of opportunity for aville. also announcer refused to announce aville players names bc several of them freely chose aville over mchs. its just that entitlement attitude that is fun to put in their place but not fun to deal with 365 days of the year.

hard to build a quality 4a program when u are continually beaten or taken to the wire by 2a schools. next year cc and mchs should combine and make an 8a squad maybe then yall can beat aville and get some closure. idk though would prob be a close game, could go either way.

Well at least the conversation is started and maybe the truth behind all this can finally come out. As to address recruiting, having relatives that have been in both county schools athletic programs I can truly say that there isn't a better opportunity for us as a county to show that we have something very special here. The ability to put on such an event and have it be a positive for both schools doesn't come around often and when it does we should embrace that opportunity and use it to not only be examples to students but as how to live in some type of harmony. The only recruiting that should be done is for us to try to put on a show of unity....it was United Way night...and try to show people what a great place this could be to start a business or live. So if you identify me as a recruiter then I guess I am, just hope its on a larger scale than HIGH SCHOOL football. As for the bad officiating.....there were penalties against both teams, some correct and some incorrect but that's part of the game and you deal with it and move on. Seems the Adamsville staff handled that a little better. The biggest think to realize is that the officiating crew will be working this Friday.....Coach Hodge will be suspended. As for the little brother complex...usually the smaller school does have more to prove, just like the little brother. After 20 years of slaughter and being non-competitive I can understand why Adamsville is proud of what they have accomplished against big brother. After 20 yrs. one could expect 1 upset..fluke play or something. Two years in a row could be considered a "bump" in the road. When you get to 5 or 6 straight I'd say the tide has turned, so commend Coach Gray and his staff on doing a great job and being a positive reflection on the good things going on in McNairy County. Just hope that his lesson will go much further than the football field. well said longtime fan. 1 anyone could pull off 2 oops we let it happen again 3 is a trend 4 oh crap they are for real 5 what is big brother doing wrong 6 panic panic

typical McNairy answer, mcnarry you are delusional. aville is on the cusp of gold, that's why the series need to end, because mchs is on the cusp of the other end of the spectrum. new lows set at mchs, worst coaching debut, worst field appearance, the list can go on and on (and given the last two coaches and their results this is hard to do).the field looked horrible because everyone wants to win but no one wants to work. sick of excuses mow and rake the grass. take some pride in what you do. little brother has been spanking that tail for too long aint he big bro? the day of the game the mchs facebook page out out a status reminding fans that it was "only just a game". well someone forgot to tell coach! and to expound on that. the refs did not blow a call...does mcanairy or coaches not study film bc aville has ran that play for over 7 years now. it is a forward pass, it is not a fumble, hence the correct ruling on the field. that's why good teams run plays like that so if you were to drop it its just an incomplete pass. anyone getting tossed over that is pathetic. study film be prepared. aville will be better served playing someone who can challenge them (and who actually mows their field every few days). recruiting, recruiting, the last two coaches were the best recruiters ahs ever had and this one may be even better. anyone who can sit in the stands and say I am glad my son plays for someone who is shouting the f bomb repeatedly and having a meltdown temper tantrum is delusional. why play subpar football and get verbally abused and lose when u can go right down the road and be respected and play at the highest level possible. the kids and parents (those on the fence) in McNairy county aren't dumb, deaf, or blind and their decision just got a lot easier after Friday night.

all quiet on the home front, most still waiting on an offensive score. best chance to win (well if not win then at least score offensively) this week vsFayette ware and no head coach because of suspension.

Onward and upward

Very nice post. Good news for u is that bobcats are not that bad. They move the ball well just need to finish.

Needed consistent mowing. They cut it so low they cut the green tops off of it. Bermuda has to be trained to green up low on stalk. By looks of clippings it was at least 3 inches tall before mowing. Look at Chester co. They like a golf course as well as Aville field have trained theirs on 1 inch or less. Stays green lower on stalk. And it looks like they sprigged their new practice field which looks great overall, but it's too late to sprig, grass won't trail in late sept early oct. All that dirt will wash off, oh well just an opinion.
