Hunter's Lane is probably my least favorite team outside of Gallatin. I would certainly love to see a big Commando win on Thursday night!

It's spelled "Commandos" buddy. I don't know why you're so excited about this though, if we beat Gallatin, just think what we're going to do to you. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Regions will split it in this playoff. Hendersonville over Ravenwood Gallatin over Centennial Franklin over Hunter's Lane Brentwood over Antioch

Amen to that. You said it, when Gallatin avoided passing towards Yazzie all game, Hill stepped up and made a HUGE play. I actually think Hill may be leading the county in interceptions, Yazzie gets the most talk but he's one of many good players on this team. I'd also like to throw Harris #9 in there, he had a huge game for the Commandos on the ground against Gallatin last week as he has all year.

If the only way that a coach can earn the respect of his players is by physical force and intimidation, he doesn't sound like a very good coach to me. When I played, the main lesson we got out of football was to be respected young men. Who do you think these kids are going to model themselves after? My guess would have to be the adults that they spend the most time around, that's their parents and their football coaches. Maybe I'm on a different page then some of you old timers, but I'm pretty sure a truly respectable man doesn't go around hitting teenagers who smart off. Get some control of your emotions man, you're supposed to be the leader of the team for crying out loud. I believe that players copy the actions of coaches, I really do. But that's not a very good thing when your coach can't control himself!

Prayers coming out from Sumner County and Hendersonville High School.

Alright, final week of the season and it all comes down to this game. If Hendersonville win, they are region champs, regardless of the outcome of the Gallatin game. If they lose, they can pretty much be assured of 3rd place and no home playoff game. With that being said, I would have to think that Hendersonville will win this one. Hunter's Lane couldn't handle the surging Gallatin attack when they played, and Hendersonville found a way to. I think that will be the defining scene for this Hendersonville team this season, it was huge and showed that they can just find a way to win. Certainly Hunter's Lane can't be overlooked, you don't get that many wins by being some pushover team, they bring it to Hville every year, and I know these Commandos are looking for redemption against the Warriors. Hville proved once again that even if you play a stout D, as they did in Gallatin and now will vs HL, they can find other ways to score. With the Hill interception return for a TD and the Yazzie punt return for a TD that was called back, Hville has proved they have a TON of ways to get the ball into the endzone. My prediction: HHS- 24 HLHS- 14

Oh, I just thought that you were saying Hville did something disrespectful or something. If Gallatin plays for a full game, they are one of the best teams in the state I believe, man that running game got going, and the passes were wide open in the second half. I would have to credit a little of Gallatin coming out flat to them playing such a huge emotional game the week before vs Hunter's Lane. Hendersonville ran into that problem earlier this season when they beat Station Camp then had to turn around and play Beech the next week. Now we have to turn around a play a very tough Hunter's Lane team for the region championship. As for Gallatin, ya'll get a breather of a game vs a good, but clearly falling apart, McGavock team.

Gallatin will win this one, I don't know how many people will actually give McGavock a shot in this one. If Gallatin can keep up the offense that they had in that 2nd half for a whole game, I wouldn't like many teams chances against them. Matthews is one heck of a football player, and he had really good protection most of the game. I didn't see why all the fuss was made about Holder though, I know he's got 1,000+ yards, but he seemed easily bottled up in my opinion. What exactly do you mean by called out by Hville???

Oh, this is all assuming that Hunter's Lane took care of Glencliff because the score isn't posted yet. I would have to believe that Hunter's Lane won that one though. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Here's how the region will shake up from what I can tell: Hville win/Gallatin win---- 1st Hendersonville, 2nd Gallatin, 3rd Hunter's Lane Hville loss/Gallatin win----Gallatin, Hunter's Lane, Hendersonville Hville win/Gallatin loss----Hendersonville, Gallatin, Hunter's Lane Hville loss/Gallatin loss---Hunter's Lane, Hendersonville, Gallatin (Someone posted that Antioch is at the 4th place regardless, so I'm just assuming that to be true, because it is far too late for me to be thinking about that ha.) But yeah, looks like the top 3 spots are still completely up for grabs in just about any order. Hendersonville has to win vs Hunter's Lane to win the Region because of the dropped game vs Hillwood.

In all honest, this has got to be one of the greatest football games I've ever seen, no joke. This game had so much hype coming in that I didn't think it could possibly live up to it. Not only did it match expectations, it exceeded them. First half, all Hendersonville, 17-0 at half. 2nd half, Gallatin looked like a team possessed out there. When Gallatin's O gets clicking, I haven't seen many more dominating units. Ya'll are a special team no doubt, one of the best Gallatin teams I have seen in a long while and you'll make some noise come playoff time. But enough can't be said for the Commandos ability to once again keep their composure, even when things are falling apart, and just find a way to win. Hville just weathered the storm of Gallatin's attack, took the ball 80 yards with 1:30 left, that's what great teams do. Next up is Hunter's Lane for what is now the 3rd installment of the Region 5-5A championship. Take care of business boys and bring that title back home to Hville! (Just a side note, I do believe this game took a good 5 years off my life lol.)

Quit turning this thread into the Indy v Gallatin thread from last year. Nobody cares. It's game day baby, looks like the weather predicted, hopefully it's a good game. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS COMMANDOS!!

Why do you think that? Have teams from this region played this season? I know Franklin and Brentwood are supposed to be good, but so are Hendersonville, Gallatin and Hunters Lane. Just clarify as to why you think region 6 is better than region 5.

From my understanding, Hillwood would be staying in 5A after the realignment, but don't quote me on that, they could very well be dropping to 4A I'm not sure. Even if they do, I really don't see them being ultra competitive for a good amount of time. I don't see kids passing up private schools to go to Hillwood until Hillwood proves they can win. Unfortunately, Hillwood won't win too much until they get better talent, kind of a vicious cycle actually. I would recommend a private school if you can get them in of course, both for academic and athletic reasons. MBA and David Lipscomb are 2 Nashville private schools that are a force in football each year, those are the first to pop into my mind at least.

No brainer man, send him to Hillsboro. Top level team year in and year out, and unless you are wanting to pony up for a private school, it's the best Nashville team there is. As for Hillwood, I don't see them getting any better any time soon, they need to drop down to 4A to have a chance because they've just been out of their element since they moved up. Keep your kid out of Hillwood!!

You went to Gallatin and your girlfriend went to Beech? That is quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever heard.

This reclassification is probably the best thing that has happened to football in state in a while. I LOVE the idea of localizing the districts, think of the crowds that games vs Gallatin, Beech, Portland, SC, MJ will bring. Better than the whopping 25 fans that these metro teams, even the good ones, bring, it's pathetic. As for this game, I can't imagine the rain affecting it too much, both teams CAN pass, but both teams are run first. This is really the ideal setting for it I believe. And as for the crowds, I would like to think that a little rain won't keep people away from an HHS-GHS game. Expect overflow, get there early.

Based on records alone, this doesn't seem like much of a question. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> But what the heck! Unicoi County - 24 (OT) Sullivan North - 21

Gotta love that about this game. Gallatin folks are raised hating Hendersonville. Hendersonville folks are raised hating Gallatin. And yeah, I agree, this is exactly how we should leave this region before it all changes, with the Sumner County teams on top.

I never saw the ejection personally. The only player from Overton I saw with a real attitude problem would have to be #87. He never got ejected though, just really really rattled by the Hville fans /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

615whorunit, if a HHS vs GHS game, possibly for the region crown, with the crowd and atmospherethat is expected, goes to OT......it will probably be one of the greatest games I will have ever witnessed. This game is going to be intense. Anyone who is outside of these 2 teams fanbase, you might want to come on over to Hendersonville this Friday night to see one of the best rivalries around.

Hendersonville plays the no respect card because for the most part they don't get it from most of the region. Look at like 90% of the region 5 posts this year, everyone was saying HL and Gallatin, Hville won't win it. The only people saying that the Commandos had a shot at the region were me and a few other HHS posters. It's all good though, Gallatin knows what Hendersonville brings to the table and vice versa. Should be a ridiculous atmosphere like always. And yeah, GWAVE1 is right, this thing is going to be packed.

Hendersonville is now 5-1 (4-0), just for clarification. This game is going to be HUGE, this rivalry is already intense enough even when the teams aren't at the level they are now. I can't wait to see who is going to come out the winner, and sorry HLHS, the region champs. I of course will pick my Commandos to win, but in a very close game. The Wave looks tough this year, as they always seem to /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=". It's going to take a great week of preparation by HHS if they want to win, but they certainly have the tools to do it. I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!
