Prayers sent out to the entire Lipscomb Academy. I have friends that played for Coach and they love him and would run through a wall from him. I can only hope to be half as good a man as he was.

I saw in the paper Brentwood run ruled Hillsboro 10-0. Franklin beat Indy 11-8 last night.

Congrats to the Independence Eagles on beating Franklin 4-1 last night to open up the district season. Coach Moore has the team looking good for a district run. Also, the Summit Spartans defeated the defending district champs, Marshall Co, 4-2 to open up their district slate. Remember the Spartans would be Eagles if not for the new school and currently they only have freshmen through juniors. They will be joining the district next year and I would think they would be the favorite to win it all.

I'm surprised a thread about this game has not been started. It is a very important game for both teams. For Independence if they win this game they control their own destiny of finishing 2nd in the district and promising themselves a higher playoff seed. While the Rebels must win one of the final two games to have a shot at the playoffs. To be honest they have a better shot against Indy than they will against Brentwood. So who does everyone have? I'll take Indy by 14.

This scored surprised me I thought the Patriots would score more. Seems like Coach Rathbone has things going in the right direction. It seems he can get them up for big games i.e. Fairview but he needs some consistency.

Great game by Indy and just what I suspected Centennial has played a weak schedule up until this point. Wins against any metro team are not impressive. We got the ground game going tonight and they couldn't stop it. Looks like we will finish 2nd in the district barring a catastrophic collapse.

Classic deflection there. Yes we had two transfers. One is eligible to play now and one has to sit out a year per TSSAA rules. Unlike you we know how to abide by the rules. Once again very sad situation when winning is that important that you can't accept blame for wrong doings. Whose fault was it again for the first infraction??

I'm here. Just havent been posting. This will be a great game. I am still not sold on Centennial. They have looked great against a average to below teams. Game will be decided by turnovers and penalties. To be honest I dont like Rector after some instances he had at Ravenwood, so I would love for Indy to win. Franklin fans need to worry about their game Friday when Coach Clayton makes the FHS adminstration look even worse.

Not good when a town and school back a coach who has multiple offenses on his record now. Usually guilty party claims the whole truth will never come out. Sad when young men are being led by men without morals. Coaching should be more than Ws.

The Tennessean article stated that it's a two week suspension now but the investigation is ongoing. Looks like it could be longer. What do Giles fans have to say about their coach?? I know here in our county if a coach does that he would be fired.

Has Centennial really played anyone?? Overton, Antioch, and Franklin are all average to below average teams. Indy is by far the best team they have played and will be tested for the first time. I'll take Indy by 7 Hillsboro at Franklin has the story line. To say there is nothing there is crazy. You know Clayton would love to beat the Rebels to prove they made a mistake in firing him. He maybe happy at Hillsboro but you got to think he has some bitterness toward the FHS administration. Hillsboro by 10. Brentwood will get their back ups a lot if work in the Ravenwood game.

I don't know understand why parent support is not there. It seems like Coach Lamb has done great things with the baseball program there. So why is boys basketball and baseball successful but adminstration doesn't support football? It doesn't make sense to me.

On the kickoff return the penalty susposedly happened at the 35 because the ball was spotted at the 25 after it was assessed. I did not see one block in back. I have it here right on my DVR. Then on the long TD throw, the flag was thrown on the center who cut the defensive tackle. I have never seen a cut block be called a hold. I will stand by my claim that terrible officiating players a part in the game. However Fairview's lack of discipline in Special Teams helped magnify those penalties.

Those two TDs in the first half were terrible calls, nothing questionable about them. The one in the 2nd half was obvious. The crew did a horrendous job and took away from what would have been a great game. It looked like they wanted it to be about them. Even the announcers on the tv were blasting them. Also when did Moore get tossed? I watched the entire game last night on tv and did not see him get tossed? I saw him get a 15 yard penalty and that was it. Also, can Fairview not count to 11? Having too many men on the field is a coaching problem.

2nd Half- More Terrible Officiating. They call a helmet to helmet contact on a Fairview player when he hits the receiver clearly with his shoulder pad, then the Page QB had to come off for a play because his helmet came off and the ref allows him back in without sitting out a play. This crew is the most inept crew I have ever seen. Also who is recruiting the WR Moore, he was unstoppable in this game?
