BIG SHOUT OUT! 1st class coaches.....Team.......Fans!!!!! Good luck on this years run. I know last year you lost your QB during your run......hope everyone is healthy now and fired up to make Camden a serious threat. Hope its your year.....you guys deserve it.....GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can someone help me and tell me where I can find the latest listing of teams that of now (Top 32) are in the playoff hunt. Almost forgot in 3A. In advance......thanks

Read this and wanted to add something too. I watched you played two games and those that I saw hard to believe you ended the way you did. It certainly wasn't from trying. Reading all the boards you can tell that you guys never slacked off all year. You hit the weights hard and those numbers showed. The deck kind of was stacked against you this year as far as district but you never let it get in your way from not trying every game. From what I can tell you had 2 bad halfs this year and were in every game. You took on some of the best they have been in years and played them all to the end. Don't hold you heads down, no reason to. I think the coaches got a lesson this year also, not only coaching football but the class of you guys. They will have to go some to ever find a better bunch of kids that this........from top to bottom.....1st class! I know the fans that hung with you through the season don't think anything less of this group than any other, in fact might appreciate you more than others in the past. You had no gimmies, so to speak, but you fought everyone all out and I'm sure if you asked they all would gave you a nod and a hand shake for the effort you showed them.

Stat...any updates on #22 condition? Looked bad when it happened, I thought for sure he had broken his arm. I'm guessing since he was able to hang in and finish the game (the kid's a warrior) that he must have hyper-extended his elbow. Hope it's minor whatever it is...don't know many players that would have toughed that one out, last game or not. Looks like Lewis Co will be back to the team of old next year...too much talent on this squad to stay down for long. Good luck to you guys next season and maybe we can run into you guys again same time next year. Thanks for asking. I talked to his family and they said he was doing better. He has some weakness in his hand, and closing it was still a problem but its improving every hr. It seems to be a nerve in the elbow, but if it doesn't come completely back or show positive signs of improvement they were going to have it checked out to be sure nothing was wrong. He was a senior so it was his last game, so I'm sure nothing short of a leg missing he was going to sit out. His family told me how great your staff was and also coaches and fans coming up during half time and at the end of the game asking about him, and they really appreciated it. After talking to some of the people that was at the game.....I have to agree with stat......you guys are first class...from the players, coaches and the fans. I'll pass it along to stat and the family about you asking and your nice comments for the young man. Good luck on your run.

Interesting. What a big change from what has Lewis faced in the past. I can see now why people are standing up for this years group. They have played a tougher schedule than any former teams have, and done it with not much experience. Next year Lewis should be back to their winning record. All I have read this is the year for a lot of teams Lewis has faced. So they will have some drop off and Lewis will have players with experience. Go on and predict next year.....9-1 to 7-3 being the worst. Good luck this Week!

And to all of you on this page........BIG UP!

Good Luck Lewis! How healthy is Lewis.....been reading on here it sure sounds like they are banged up. Hated to hear about your number 4 out, he was a real hitter. Also heard 13 is out for the season.....both of these are seniors.....what a shame for it to happen in their senior years. Good Luck.......I have a friend going to the game so I'll be able to get some updates. Going to be a tough one.....but I think Lewis has the horses and belief that they can get the job done.

This has the makings of one great game. Haven't seen perry play in person but have friends in Perry that are excited about this game. I have seen Wayne play twice.....very impressive. I know their QB is the chatter about Wayne, but when I seen them play it was their backfield that caught my eye. With the threat they have there it makes the QB play much easier. I think the one kids name...correct me if I'm wrong..Warren, he runs as hard as any I have seen. The other back..number 5 I think, not sure.....very patient runner and has a quick burst. Like I said.....haven't seen Perry play...so can't give a real guess on them, but Wayne home, Senior night.....and the perfect season........have to go with wayne. Just hope its a good game like everyone thinks. Good Luck to both teams!

Congrads to Giles. I know you Lost Lewis but one great effort..I know effort don't count for much when you lose.....but you did put it all out there. A big Ups to the Lewis corner.......You shut down one awesome receiver......3rd in total yds listed in the Tennessean and 1st in yds. per catch avg. of 27.0.....I think thats right......31 for 837 yds. Number 25 great hustle. Play like this the rest of the season.....and could surprise quite a few teams in the playoffs. You played the best and gave it your best...do that every game from here on out and you will surprise many others. Giles.......take it all the way......awesome balance, a couple of great backs. District 12 still might have some surprises for the rest in the playoffs.

ddaddy....question for you. I heard through the grapevine that you have lost another player due to injury......a corner/kicker......is that true. I know you lost a couple to head injuries also.....I believe they said Linebackers. Any info. you have would be appreciated. I have some friends over that way that sons play for Lewis, so follow Lewis closely. I sure hate to hear it for Lewis, but will say...wow do your players play hard, seen some film on them......they do make the games exciting to watch. You guys have been in every game with just a play here or there that would have changed the outcome. In advance.......thanks for the information.

What team do you support? You are right in one point.....they do have a strong punting game.

This game should have a championship feel about it. Bragging rights for the year. Good luck to both......tough one to call. If I was forced to making a decision, I guess I would lean towards Hickman........because of home. Good luck to both!

I haven't heard that, but I will tell you this, Coach Trey Graves is the best thing that has happened to Waverly Central football for a long time. He is a very good coach and even better person who genuinely cares about the kids and teaches them not only football, but about life. If these fans are so concerned about winning games then they would show up and support these kids and they would do more to encourage the kids who aren't playing to play. We have the talent in Waverly, but too many kids wanting to play nintendo or Xbox. How sad. My hat is off to the kids who get out and practice hard each day and play hard to represent their school. Thank you Coach Graves for being a great person and coach who helps them do that. Great Post papa.........very well said. True in a lot of schools. 10-0 or 0-10 team, I give the credit to the kids that do put in the effort and try. To many are into videos etc. You know alot of those kids could play and be good at it....but it would take away the time from all of the distraction. Any young man that plays they game I give them all the credit......much better prepared for life in a sport than a video game........sports teaches so much more...winning and losing is a life experience that is invaluable.

You people are amazing. This was a conversation.....this isn't what the coaches are doing......get real. I understand the logic, and I understand the players wanting to play.....especially on senior night. Maybe they will play their best until Giles starts scoring big.......and then they could pull out the starters. No one said they are doing it.........be real. I know Giles wants to keep their streak going of 40 points in a half against all of these schools......which they would either way, but...........does it matter in the big picture.......I don't think so. I'm sure Lewis will start their starters.......but after that.....whats to prove...except for Giles to feel good about beating their starters instead of 2nd. But......one fact remains....Lewis can't afford to lose anymore starters...period. They are thin as it is. Giles is the better team.....period. They will win regardless who is in the game for Lewis. Depth is something they can't overcome.......that is the real world.

Excuses? Logic......might fit better. Lewis has lost some key players...game changing ones. They can't afford to lose anymore with the playoffs in front of them. I'm not a coach or anything to Lewis. Just that my discussion with one of their fans did make sense. What good does it do to play a team with so many players......enough for D and O and special teams......the odds are they will lose anyway.......why lose a player proving absolutely nothing. I have seen how Giles has gone through all the smaller schools, why would this be any different. Much better for Lewis to be able to give it the best shot in the playoffs (one and done or two...it doesn't matter...still to make the playoffs first). Lewis has had a much tougher schedule this year than in the years passed, which according to critics was their problem. That won't be a problem this year. Yes Giles will win......but does it help them either way......with all the starters playing or not. Hope this doesn't hurt Giles in the playoffs...nothing taken away from Giles season..but playing down so much can't help.
