Lead

Good luck to PC tonight.

Marshall County just can't get over the hump in the playoffs. I was watching on TV when PC scored their first touchdown. I looked at my wife and said "This game is far from over". Normally you would think that a 21-7 lead in the fourth quarter would be safe. 2015 semifinals vs Knoxville Catholic: Instead of punting and making Catholic go the length of the field, they went for it on 4th & 10 from the 50 for 4 straight drives. They lost by 19 2016 semifinals vs Knoxville Central: 24-3 lead in the 2nd. The KC defense had zero answers. They take their foot off the gas. Conservative play calling took over with a couple of mental mistakes on defense and they took an L. KC took the momentum and never let up. 2018 semifinals vs Greeneville: Got manhandled. To be fair, Greeneville would have probably beat Oakland that year if we're being honest. And then we have tonight. They'll get there one day. Heck of a second half by PC.

I'll start with saying that I know absolutely zero about Warren County football. After reading what the former players had to say about their coach, getting rid of the guy sounds like a mistake. From what I gather, he sounds like he was a great mentor for his players. Teaching them teamwork,how to be accountable young men and how to genuinely care for other people. Communities all across the country could use a few men like that interacting with the youth. Winning is cool and all but at the end of the day football is just a game. A game that also happens to teach a lot of valuable life lessons. Keep in mind that most kids never play another snap after high school. What kind of men do we want them to be after graduation is the question.

PC wins it in overtime. It was a tale of two halves. PC played about as bad as you could play the first half. Marshall County got conservative in the second half, like they always do in big games. Playing not to lose will get you beat every time. PC had a strong 4th quarter scoring 3 times to tie it up. MC got the ball down to the PC 1 with 0:08 left in regulation. They took a delay of game penalty and decided to kick the field goal to seal it. PC had a good push and was able to get a hand on the ball and the ball fell short of the goal posts. Congratulations PC! Good luck in Memphis next Friday!

Marshall County QB Tyler Thompson throws his 42nd touchdown pass in the win.

Marshall County leads 35-7 at the half. MC playing lights out.

Sorry to hear of his passing. I always enjoyed reading his posts on the T. Prayers going out to his family and friends as well as the Signal Mountain community.

This will be a good game. SC looks to be playing inspired football. Can't afford to overlook any team at this point in the season. Home field advantage may be the difference in this one.

It's hard to beat a good team twice.

They have 3 in the booth and 1 on the sidelines i believe.

Marshall County wins in OT 24-21

Marshall County up 21-14 at the half. Pearl Cohn gets the ball to start the 2nd half.

I saw a post yesterday that said the only water they have is what's in the lines and for everyone to turn off their water heater. They may be under a boil water advisory for a while after that.

No problem. That's what we are supposed to do when our neighbors need help. Thank you for the info!
