Very well said!

Indeed he will!!

Well, I don't know much about Soddy, but I gotta say that the Falcons have been playing classic high school football. They've matured during the season to become a team that plays with more heart than any Lincoln County team in recent memory - they don't have any really big guys or guys that are shoo-ins for D-I scholarships, but they play with a team spirit that is truly impressive. Regardless of the outcome, the Falcon players will remember this season with a smile for the rest of their lives!

And that's as it should be, since God doesn't need the U.S. Guv'mint to enable (much less approve) His plan for the world.

But not over the PA system at football games according to the Santa Fe decision.

Yes. My original response to your post was correct.

There's a difference as noted from your website referencing the Santa Fe case, which ruled student led prayer at a football game unconstitutional.

I think you're right - the Falcons should take this one, as long as they don't regress.

No. See this Supreme Court case.

If the majority of attendees are Christian then by all means public Christian prayers should be allowed. If the majority are Muslims, then a public Muslim prayer should be allowed. Minority opinions don't matter when it comes to religion.

You're right - if Lawrence County and Columbia win then they're locked in a three way tie with Tullahoma for 1st. The TSSAA website currently indicates that Tullahoma would be 1st and Lawrence County 2nd in that case - that may change when it's updated tomorrow.

Looking ahead, here's what I've come up with - if anyone disagrees feel free to correct me. Winner of the Lawrence County/Tullahoma game is #1. If Tullahoma loses, the Wildcats are #2 if Lincoln County beats Shelbyville, or if Lincoln County loses and Columbia beats Franklin County. If Tullahoma loses and both Lincoln County and Columbia lose then Shelbyville is #2. If Tullahoma wins, the race for #2 is about as complicated.... Lincoln County is #2 if the Falcons beat Shelbyville. Shelbyville is #2 if the Golden Eagles beat the Falcons and Columbia loses to the Rebels - if Columbia wins then the Lions are #2.

A fine Columbia team travels to the Pit Friday night to play a Falcon team that has the potential to rise to the occasion and get a win. Will it happen?

I saw the ref keeping time indicate to both sides how much time was left - he would hold up one hand showing some fingers for the tens place, then hold up fingers showing the ones place. The coaches knew how much time was left - maybe most other folks didn't.

Whatever happens will happen when it happens. Also, it will rain when it rains. (Sorry - I just can't resist tautologies!) Maybe Lincoln County will get a new coach when Brett Favre retires....

Good points and good post. The Falcons have the potential to give the Patriots a game - but I kinda think the Patriots have that MoJo thing going this year such that it doesn't matter what the other team does - the Pats are gonna do better. But I may be wrong.... (And obviously I hope I am!!!!)

4 weeks into the season and they're still playing flag football. I saw the QB make a better tackle than half the defense. They really need to work on that!

Here's hoping that the Falcons play every play tough 'til the whistle blows, that they execute and tackle well, that they keep the turnovers and penalties to a minimum, that the Riverdale players and fans have a safe round trip, and that a great game is played in the Pit tonight!

Sounds like a prediction from someone that wants the Falcons to beat the Warriors.... Jus' sayin'....

The Warriors bring their 3-0 record to the Pit this Friday! The Falcons are nursing the wounds of a 20-19 OT loss at Lawrence County (along with an 0-2 record).... Coach Thompson would like nothing better than to beat the Warriors one more time - but he'll need to get his team focused on the basics AND the tradition! Will it happen?

Both teams had great moments and not so great moments - the Wildcats have a really good running game. The Falcons still need work on tackling and playing until the whistle blows - there were stretches of time where the defense played like wildmen - then there were times where they didn't - I don't get that. Several times I saw a defensive back slow down because he thought a teammate had the ball carrier - and then the ball carrier gets away and the back has to adjust to that. It's just nuts. If the Falcons can fix the tackling problem and can learn to give every play everything they have until the whistle blows then they'll do well the rest of the season - the running game and passing game show lots of potential.

I think you're right wingman! They should have the jitters worked out of them by then!

Sir, you definitely know your football (and coaches)! When the Falcons travel to Oakland I'd like to buy you one of those famous hotdogs! I'll be the guy hanging out at the concession stand wearing a CoachT tee shirt!

L-A-W-R-E-N-C-E C-O-U-N-T-Y. That's who the Falcons are playing Friday night. Try to keep up.
