What a truely tragic way to get us all to remember baseball is just a game. More importantly a young man lost his life, a mother and father lost their child, and I'm sure many lost a dear friend. Prayers from Henry County go out to all who knew him and are hurting.

Since you have no problem calling out a player's name, then surely you can let us all know your name? Come on, fair is fair right?

Thats is unfortunate.....here's hoping both teams leave the field Friday night injury free.

Well folks, looks like the Patriots have the whole team healthy and ready to go!!! Hey Powell fans....Do you have any starters out from injuries? We've been very fortunate this season in this area with minimal damage other than a concussion in the 1st round.

Sorry Facts, but the unfortunate fact is the ole job has had me tied up out of town. OK yall......its getting close now.....let start the score predictions......being a little bias I will say..... HC 21 Powell 20 I just see no reason this won't be the battle of the year for both teams.

Look...I love reading all the "smack" (so please keep bringing it) but I think we all very much realize that both teams are undefeated and this didn't happen by accident. So, the stage is set for an incredible game that none of us can realistically predict its outcome, and that is simply awesome. GO PATS.

Henry County has been criticized all year too for playing a "weak schedule." Well, we both shut all of ems mouths tonight huh? See ya in Cookeville.

I hear ya but let me assure you there will be plenty of talk from the Henry County faithful. This thread will be 25-30 pages by next Friday....guaranteed. Congrats to Powell. This is gonna be a good one!!!!

Both teams likely know very little about each other.....both teams are undefeated.....neither team has played a common opponent this year.....this is way a championship should be....let the talk begin!!!!

I think its gameday.....I like our chances....and this will be the best game the fans have gotten to see all year.

By the way....Andrew Jelks has the current headline story on the CoachT homepage....check it out.

Look, no one on here needs to hear that no one knows who will win until the game has been played....we all deep down know thats the truth. I feel we have a good chance to advance and I'm sure the Ridgeway faithful believe the same. Thank God for this.....it makes for some fun anxiety and anticipation all week. The weather forecast at this time for Friday night looks excellent. If both teams play their "A" game it might be the best game played in the state this week!!

Oh I'm around the program more than you realize....and I said nothing about the coaches taking Northeast for granted....but I can assure you that some of the 16, 17 and 18 year old boys took them for granted. I've coached a long time.....seen it with my own eyes many times. But I'm not concerned about that game now.

I'm praying the "ugly" game last night will be a wake up call the team needed. Though it seemed the officiating may have been a little suspect, it was obvious our players were not mentally focused at times. We cannot have and an extra point called back and then miss.....Be off sides twice on a kick off.....rough the kicker when he is kicking out of the end zone....and so on and so on......OR WE WILL NOT MAKE IT PAST NEXT FRIDAY NITE!!! I'm sure the boys took NE a little for granted and the discipline got off track somewhat. Hopefully a lesson was learned and the "ship will get tightened."

Its blowing my mind there are actually Paris people and Gallatin people already talking about a matchup that is still very far away from actually happening....there are 4 teams that have to be knocked off still before that game can even happen. Come on guys.....
