I am hoping that the boys come out with fire in their eyes and a more wide spread offense. Defense has been carrying the day since MUH. Come on CAVS!!!!! You have the talent, just hit the field as a team and play hard. Nobody can play the level of ball you played in the first 6. Hope you can find that gameplan again.

I could not agree more that Cookeville has played pretty flat the last two games and YES they have gotten some BAD calls but honestly this is not the team of the first of the year. They are going to have to play better and not worry with the poor calls from the Zebra team to decide the game for them. I just hope there is enough gas in the tank to spark this team back to life. Not to play them down, they are just worn out...

AMEN Jimbo, we have been saying that for the last two years now. Hennigan is a much better receiver and needs to stay there. Spend some more time developing one QB and maybe you can run more than 3-4 plays. Salada is a workhorse, but you have to let him breath at some point between Offense and Defense. Who runs a handoff on 4th and a chain link? The boys came up playing flat for 48 min last night, but this loss lays more on offensive play calling than anything. With the strong defense that Cookeville had all year, they sure could not stop a strong running dive from WC. It only took one series to see the WC center was telling the defense exactly which side the play was going. He came up pointing to one side and the play went opposite 9 of 10 times. WC coaches need to talk to him about that, but if the defense is not seeing it anyway, oh well. Cookeville better bow up or we are one and done in the playoffs.

Wow if I could understand what you attempted to say, I could offer some reply. Read again, I do believe I said LC has one tough football team and yes the scoreboard is what matters in the end. Cookeville could hardly expect to win when they turn the ball over twice and cannot score on 4th and one in their own red zone. I know Coach J looks forward to an opportunity to play again this year but if not it is good to know we can compete in the same Region. Right now every team has to focus on this comming Friday and only this comming Friday. Those who were there (were you?) on each side saw some pathetic calls in both directions but all in all, everyone is correct, it happens to all teams at various times. Good teams will always rise to the occasion every now and again.

All in all, this was a very hard fought tough hitting High School game that both sides can be proud of. Worst thing about this game was the last 5 min. when the zebras on the field totally lost their bearing and blatently show how poor of a crew they are. Yes there were calls (as always) to both sides but honestly. They call holding against a Cavs wide reciever as the defender pulls him to the ground coming off the line. They call first down even after spotting the ball a yard short.... The marker was on the line. Some would question why the Cavs coach got no flag? Obviously the zebras knew he was right in his anger. Any other time I am sure he would have been tossed off the field and possibly out of the game. Who actually called Cookeville's last time out. Was not aware LC could do that for them but obviously they did since there was no call from the Cookville side. Again, I take nothing from LC, you guys are a good team with some great talent. Your number 3 is one hard fighting young man. He was rocked, and remained on the field 3 additional plays before leaving. I just wish there were tighter controls from these officiating crews to check their ability to call an unbias game. Of course I am a Cavs fan through and through and believe they were the better team, but they turned the ball over and come up short on two 4th downs so that in itself is practically impossible to overcome. If both teams play as they did last night (short of the C-ville turnovers) few teams in UT will match up with them.
