Hard to believe a 9-0 team visits a 8-1 team with the district championship on the lineand gets that officiating crew. Disgraceful! Missed (or ignored) several face mask tackles, overruled an interception, called a fumble after the runner bounced twice in the ground, and I could go on. Did not affect the outcome, but both teams deserved better officiating in such an important game. Crockett looked like they might blow the game open at halftime, but Westview battled very hard in the second half. They gave a great effort but were just overmatched this time around.

Should be a great battle. I think Milan wins in a close one, but won't be stunned if the tide pull the upset.

Crockett County has a definite advantage in the trenches and has the edge in team speed, JCS has an advantage in the passing game. My lifetime says controlling the line of scrimmage and speed are the definite pluses. I will take Crockett in this on, 24-14.

I don't think JCS is physical enough up front to stop Crockett's ground game. JCS real be ready tothrow the ball around, but I suspect Crockett is athletic enough to counter. I pick the Cavs 38-14.

Per the scoreboard- Crockett 41, Bolivar 0. Nice start to the season.

Mosier is out for this week at least with a high ankle sprain. Still, this shoul dbe a great game.

How did Crockett County vs Lexington go?

My family and I moved to Henry County this summer. Got a call from Coach Gaddis inquiring about if my son was interested in playing football this year. Came away from the phone conversation with very good vibes- seemed to be very personable and sincere gentleman.

There will be a feed on www.wcta810.com. It's a Crockett County feed but at least you can hear the game

Thanks for the kind words. THe Trojans have a tough team, but I just can't stop thinking how that game was there for the taking by the Cavaliers. The dropped touchdown pass was a killer. If the catch is made, momentum definitely swings the other way. It was a great effort by Crockett County, especially on defense. The Cavaliers did what no one thought possible- slow the Trojan offense. The game was much closer than the final score indicates- ther late touchdown by the Trojans makes the spread more than the difference between the two teams. Good luck the rest of the way- hope both squads stay injury free the rest of the way. Goodness knows we've had more than our share of injuries this year.

Halftime score is 7-7.

He was at the game Friday night. I haven't spoke to him, but it is my understanding that he still has a long road to full recovery.

No correlation at all. Crockett County has had some junior high and freshmen teams with terrible records, but 10 straight years in the playoffs speaks for itself. A lot of it, IMHO, is philosophy. I know that Crockett County has always rotated a lot of players in and out, not necessarily playing the 12-14 best players and always going for the win. Often times, 5 or 6 running backs may touch the ball every game as 8th graders, but all but 2 or 3 of the best have dropped out of football by the time they reach high school. At the same time, these kids are learning the high school system and the high school way of doing things, so by the time they reach the high school level they already have a feel of what is expected from them.

Thought about this one at a Babe Ruth game the other night when a 13-year old that was about 4'6 and 65 lbs batted. Would have said it out loud, but was afraid someone would take it the wrong way and be offended. I did laugh for a while after thinking it, though.
