The Rebels played hard against a talented Cookeville team. They hung in tough and if it weren??™t for the costly turnovers, a few untimely penalties and the mental lapse on the opening kickoff, they could have pulled an upset. But I guess that??™s why they play the game. One word for the boys in blue: ???FOCUS??? Feel free to check out some of my pictures from the game: http://www.jcshots.com/g/10172008_fchs__cookeville

I'm very proud of the Franklin County Team. They fought hard and didn't quit, even when facing a 20 point deficit early in the second quarter. I??™ve been watching these young men play for several weeks now and I can see the determination in their faces as they play their hearts out. Turnovers have plagued the offense and have cost them several ballgames. This game the turnovers were low and the outcome resulted in a "BIG W" for the Rebels. Congratulation to the Coaching Staff and to the team who didn??™t quit! You can check out pictures of the game at: http://www.jcshots.com/g/10032008_fchs__coffee_county

After being on the sideline during the FCHS Jamboree against siegel, the Wilson Central game and the Tullahoma game, I'm looking forward to seeing how the Rebels respond to Warren County. I know that they have gotten off to a sluggish start but I'm confident that these young men will not give up and will continue to play hard. I can see the determination in their faces. http://jcshots.exposuremanager.com/p/08-29...sity/img_679548 KEEP PLAYING HARD GUYS... THE VICTORIES WILL COME!!!

Go REBS!!!

I certainly do not have a problem with the media and photographers being limited on the sideline as long as we are all given equal access. I was born on the day of a high school football game and I've been going to football games for going on 48 years... I'll be 48 next month and I've seen a lot of changes during these years. Some changes for the better and some for the worst. This year I too have notice the 2 yard area is being enforced... even in the team box. My initial thoughts were "Great... this will allow the chain crews better access to the side lines!" I used to work with a chain crew and I know first hand that for years they have constantly told the players to ???Back-Up, Make Room???. The next thing I noticed was the chain crews were being backed up into the team 2 yards off the field as well. The concept seemed to work okay between the goal line and the 25 yard line. There were only a hand full of statisticians, the ball girl and a coach or two that continually were in the way while the chains were being set and each time the chains were called for a measurement. The problem intensified 10 fold when the chain crews moved into the player??™s area. They not only had to deal with the coaches, ball girls, & statisticians, they were then force to backup into 40+ players all crowded around the precious line 2 yards off the field. Once again, I felt sorry for the chain crew! I realize this rule is for the safety of all involved. I have no problem with keeping the kids safe but let??™s be smart about this. Either move the chain crew forward 1 yard or move the team back another yard. The game officials need the area to work. As for me, I??™ll be 2 yards off the field, minding my business and taking my pictures! Regards, JCarmack http://www.JCShots.com
