I can see how everyone thinks Lewis Co wins this one...since all they play in non-conference games are 1A schools...I mean give me a break....Start playing some 3A and 4A schools then talk smack... Hickman Co wins this one... Then beats them again in the playoffs...

Wanting to go to the best possible game this week....which one should I go too? MBA vs Ensworth? Who does Franklin play? What about Hillsboro?

I'm sad to say but I agree with some of what straightupthegut is saying.. UNLESS... From what I hear the High School and Middle School are working together....this is huge..get a system that these kids will know inside and out by the time they are in high school. If the kids, families and coaches keep the fire that they have right now for years...Enthusiasm, heart and determination will go a long way. I think that some fans are afraid of going back to the old ways of Hickman County....but every one goes through rebuliding years. People want to talk about Maryville and Alcoa how they never do...know way? For starters there are very few private schools in that area. So all the talent goes to public schools. Secondly they have had winning seasons and championships so long, families MOVE there so their child can play there in hopes of getting a scholarship to a division I school.

I left with 1 min to go, so i could beat the big crowd. Can someone please let me know what is going on? I talked to Mr. Smithson at length before the game. He wouldn't let the parents on the field? At homecoming? Please fill me in with the entire story. This is been tradition for many years and this could cause friction between parents and the AD/Coaches. Thanks....

After watching the Bulldogs tonight, I am man enough to say I have to eat some crow on this one. The Bulldogs looked really good tonight. The offense isn't as explosive as last year, but things are really clicking. Guess I wasn't being logical. I think things are going to continue to get better. The past two weeks the coaching staff have made HUGE strides. Looking forward to the rest of the season...

First thing, Patterson doesn't have to impress me. You are correct. But he does have to impress the people that hold his job in their hand. (Think about that). Secondly I was at the Marshall County game. Thanks for assuming I wasn't. I commend him on getting on track with the Middle school. That is long overdue. BUT..Other than Marshall County they have not played a "quality" team. They looked better last week against Harpeth, that was a step better than the week before against Waverly. And for the record no I'm not in the locker room. I guess they let all the mom's go in there to make sure their kids get to play. If Hickman County gets back to that bull...we go back to 0-10 or 1-9. Just like when I was in school.

I'm pretty sure i said "THE REST" of the schedule. Marshall County was the first game. Attention to detail please. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Ensworth wins big over McCallie. Ensworth is a monster this year.... Ensworth - 45 McCallie - 21

Do rankings really matter? No...all it does is give US something to talk about. In the end the best will win state and everyone else has to try again next year. Because no one is playing to finish second in state... Its state or bust...

The talent at Hickman County is not down. The only thing that is "down" is the coaching staff. IMO Thats why I hope the team nor the coach thinks they can just ease through the season except for Lewis County. The rest of their schedule is light. But...you have to account for the new coach trying to adjust and the players trying to adjust to his scheme of things. The defense has looked stable. The offense is struggling. If you remember they were putting up 30-40 points per game last year.

DL wins big over a weaker Goodpasture squad this year. DL - 27 GP - 7

This is my first post. I graduated from Hickman County and support the team 100%. I am very proud of the young men and how they have preformed the past 2 years. I have been reading on here, praise for Coach Patterson. When in fact it should be construtive critisim. For starters, he has way to many "coaches" and people in the towers during games. I noticed this recently at the Harpeth game. I counted at halftime 6 men come down. Maybe that is why their has been some confusion on play calls etc. To many people trying to run the show. Secondly, if the Bulldogs play a really tough team the way they have played the beginning of the season, they will get CRUSHED. I expect the Bulldogs to at least make the second round of the playoffs. If not, Patterson should be fired. No question. I have not been impressed so far. But we still have over half a season to go. I hope he decides to coach up.
