You nailed it right on the head! most of these guys start out early, jr. hi,etc., and have it pounded in their head & body day after day. I have never had the distinction to play for Clint & the Jackets, but have watched practice on a regular basis for yrs., and it is very tough, and some don't make it. If someone walks off, they don't get begged to come back. Our enrollment doesn't support having 60 - 70 players with that kind of dedication, and toughness. I remember when # 24 was a freshmen, and now, also #6 freshmen & now. Major difference! But they didn't quit, and gave their all +. Also, I think most guys want to be a part of that tradition, and part of that tradition, is being conditioned better than most. Also, it doesn't matter who you are.I've seen Clint run Wes's butt ragged several times. LOL WAY TO GO JACKETS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks, Gen. Got 'er did!!! TCHS Jackets!!!!!!!!

Does anyone know if anyone has vcr or dvd videos of the C'ship games for sale? Thanks,

Congrats, to the Cats!!!!! Watched the game on tv. You guys were awesome. Heck of a game, Cinderela or not. Yellow Jackets 1A State Champs............

Congrat's L A, from an ole TCHS Yellow Jacket fan. We are all proud of you, and will be pulling for you in the 'boro.

Go Blue Devils!!! From a neighbor... Trousdale Co. Yellow Jackets. I worked in Lebanon for about 20 yrs, lived there for 2.. sorta my 2nd home. Glad to see you guys having such a good season.

From an old TC fan.... Congrats to Macon Co. on a great 12-2 season!! All the hard work you talked about earlier paid off. Keep your chin up; see you next season. To Knox. Fulton, a great game, on the way back to the 'Boro. Wish you the best, and get that gold ball for the East bracket. "Little PiGeOn, just a friendly word of warning. My daughter gave birth to twin boys, Nov.8, 03, so we are loading up a new bunch of Jackets for you guys. LOL! Ok, so it will be a year or two, but get ready! Would like to see you all in the 'Boro, but have to work that day. Good luck,

It was widely reported Friday nite, by the Nashville media, that there was a showing of the Northern lights, normally visible only in the far North regions of Canada, etc. This has proven not to be the case, as it has now been determined these strange lights fron the North were actually from the stadium lights in Macon Co. Sources said the mistake was due to observers not used to seeing these lights this late in the year, and regret the error.

Good morning Queenie! Good to see you & all the gang last nite. Didn't see you after the game, but congrats on a great season. Proud to be a honorary member of the "SC mafia". Got a seat on the 50 at the top, couldn't move the rest of the game, so crowded. MC, a great game, it's now up to you guys to carry the banner of Reg 4 all the way to the 'boro & back. Good luck! See all next season.

Hey, thanks, Queenie! What an honor! I think the TC fans will be well represented on the visitors side. I'm going to try to take a vacation day, and have the night off. WOW! I'm getting excited, and don't even have a dog in this fight. Win or lose, I hope the Reg. 4 ball keeps rolling all the way to the house. :usa:

Wow! All you guys & gals are really yacking it up. Like I always say"people have more fun than anybody". I have to put my 2 cents on the Owls, and if I can pull it off, and get the night off, I plan to be sitting there with my ole bud Queenie. Have to agree with Carpet on the K'ville thing. Nobody in Reg. 4 has seen anything like that this year. I hate to admit it myself, but they are on a slightly higher level. SC by 10.

Hey, Queenie! Barring a miracle, I won't be able to attend the game; have to work 3pm - 11pm, but will be listening on the radio if possible. I'm sure there will be several "Troutdale" folks there for support (OWLS) of course. GOOD LUCK! See ya, Larry

Won't venture a guess on the score, but I have to go with the "Queen", and the OWLS this time, probably 6 pts. Best wishes from "Troutdale"!

Folks, I can assure you Trousdale did not overlook Grundy Co. They practiced for Grundy for 2 weeks; hence the outcome of the Jackson Co. game. All this aside, we did not play well enough to win, having dropped 2 TD passes, either of which would have won the game. Grundy has a good team, but the Macon Tigers are easily the better of the two. Best of luck to all Reg. 4A guys! TC Yellow Jackets fan!!!

Both teams played well at times and not so well at times. We(Trousdale) dropped 2 TD passes! Jacket fan Good luck to everyone next week>

Ah, yes, I too picked the mighty Owls, but I have no regrets. These little discrepancies will work themselves out in the playoffs. Cheer up Queenie, hope to see your royal highness in the playoffs down the road.

Final score Jackets 34 Jackson Co. 26 Jackson Co. played well, we didn't, but it was a "W" ! Go Jackets next week vs. Grundy Co. on the road.

Hey QBee, Where have I been? Working mostly & sleeping. Thanks for the good wish for "Troutdale". We can use some in the next few weeks! This is a little bit late for this, but nonetheless, just want to say thanks for the sportsmanship you guys demonstrated at our game. Also, the same for Macon Co. Class acts. Maybe I'll see you in the playoffs.

WISH BOTH A SAFE & INJURY FREE GAME SAW BOTH PLAY, GOTTA GO WITH THE OWLS, NO PROBLEM! YELLOW JACKET FAN!! HI, QUEENIE !

Tell it like it was/is? Ok, first it is not necessary to have a personal foul penalty before ejecting a player from a game. Depends on the severity of the infraction. Second the other player that should have been ejected from this game, and shot the birds at the opposing fans was # 44. Don't have the name, gave my program to another fan at the game. Change of behavior from years past? Probably so, then they were winning and king of the hill. Hard to swallow getting beat by a "little single A team" three times in a row. The single A term is their description, not mine. All comes down to disipline. Portland appears to be lacking. This is supposed to taught by the coach as well as football. I am at practice on the creekbank quite often, and see this taught as well as the game. I see the Jackets at McDonalds, etc., and when they are spoken to they reply "Yes sir, or No mam". Anyone can be a good winner; losing takes a bigger man.

JACKETS 35 LA 7

Roy James Trousdale Co.!! #20

Ok, hi folks, the last time the tragic event happened to the Jackets was in 2000, losing to BGA 10-7. We went 8 & 4 that year(incl. playoffs) Also lost to Westmoreland 28-14 Mayfield, Ky. 42-21 Muhlenberg So.,Ky 42-6 and C P A 38-14 in the quarter finals, who went on to win the Class A state title. Lots of work to do for the Jackets! See ya at the game.

Wow, Queenie, that gives a whole new meaning to "You do the math"! Anyway, good to see you before the Jamboree, brief though it was. Had to work that nite, and was headed to find a bite to eat. I am now working with the Troutdale Sheriff's Dept., and my schedule is not very football friendly. I will get to the see the Smith, Macon, Portland games, so good luck this season(except against the Jackets), and maybe i'll see you guys at "the game".

Well, my man D J 88 finished 41st. after taking a couple of bites out of the wall. From hero last week to zero this week. That's racing!
