Well your "freshman" QB is off and running. He is all he is advertised to be. The Lions should do very well. Westview has potential but i need to see them play 2 or 3 more games before making a call. It was good to see huge improvements in the kicking game, something we lacked last year. Same kid but you can tell he has worked his tail off during the off season. What a game to kick off the season.

After seeing JCM scrimmage Westview and Milan in the Henry County Jamboree, this guy has no clue.

From what I seen, read, and heard (I know hear-say won't hold up in court). I have talked to some people close to the Dresden program and they believe your skills people are very talented but there are questions about your line. From reading on Coach T, line play is still a, concern. I also read a freshman is starting at QB. I understand he had a great career in middle school and he has got a great pedigree. He could start playing great on that first Friday night but the odds of that happening are not good. Now after 3 or 4 games it could be a different story. The same holds true for your linemen. My son's last year at Westview was over 10 years ago so I don't have a dog in the fight, I try to be objective. I did see the Chargers scrimmage JCM. Some say JCM has turned the corner, maybe maybe not. I was impressed with what I saw. They are way ahead of what they have been in the past 2 years. Although their QB is not great, he is steady and provides good sr leadership. The line has experience and handled both sides of the ball in their 2 scrimmages, Backs showed good speed, followed blocks and were hard to bring down. The kicking game is way way better than last year. Now would I give you 21 and bet....I am crazy not stupid. If your guys had 3 or 4 game under their belt, I would have to reevaluate that spread. Westview needs to be motivated to win and make a statement. Even if that happens we still won't know what we have until midseason. If your guys win, Westview will not be able to compete in their 3A district. Now if you lose, you got beat by hopefully a decent 3A team and you move on. I have been wrong many times in the past and many more to come in the future. One thing I do know.....it is football time in TN. Good luck to us all.

Call me crazy and you will, Westview by 3---Touchdowns

Look at those numbers again. The View has a big edge, but I am reasonably sure we have not played Dresden every year for the past 21.

Butchie, we ain't got a chance, but I guess I will have to showup for the whippin. I think I will go to Rebel land and watch the Rebs and the Lions battle it out. Got good food there too. By the way I do enjoy your post.

I have to agree with you Butchie. I think we just need to give you the W and move on to Milan.

Where are you getting your Westview info? You need to check your sources.

I apoligize to Volqueen. Your post sayed common opponents and you are correct. Sorry about that.

I don't know about Milan's stats but you are way off on the View. Defensive stats are correct but the the View has scored 347 points not 217.

It probably would have made a difference. But our backup QB scored two TD's. How many did your's score? I hated to see your QB hurt and I agree it was a game breaker. But good teams expecting to go deep in the play-offs need to be lucky in avoiding the injury bug or have some depth past the first eleven. Up to this point the View has been fortunate but who knows what the next play may bring. I understand your QB may be back in 3-4 weeks. I hope so. It would be fun to play you guys further down the road. I really think this is a pickem game everytime we play. If we play again win or lose I want to play your best. Take care of business and win your region.

Huntingdon, Humboldt, and Peabody will be very unlikely to move to Class A regardless of the enrollment. Schools can choose to play up if they so choose. These schools know a move to Class A would hurt their programs. You play to the level of your competition. Mckenzie has helped themselves by scheduling good non-region games (you better get rid of Dresden) . Schools that are on the classification bubble suffer if they get bumped up and down. Ask Peabody. I took time for them to recover from their 1 A experience. A former coach told me they would not make that mistake again. The 2006 classification shows Peabody and Huntingdon with 15 more students than Union City. These schools seem to be able to compete. Trenton will be a good measuring stick for the Rebels.

You need to invest in a new clock!

WOW This is awesome. This is the first time I've gotten to post with the big guys. I've been hanging out on the A, AA and AAA forum. Our first two games have been with single A teams ( JCS just pretends to be AA). All I have heard is how deep we are, and how big we are, and how fast we are because our enrollment is SO much more than single A. Well the shoe is on the other foot now and I say strap on the headgear and lets play football. Henry County will be a great measuring stick for the Chargers. The Patriots may be the best team we will face this year. Depth has been a factor in our first two wins but this Friday I have to give the depth factor to HC. I think our speed was a factor in our wins, not that we are fast but Union City was just plain slow and JCS was just not "athletic". I suspect HC has some speed. Our lineman on both sides of the ball were much bigger than our previous opponents. We won't have the same mismatch at HC. Westview will have a steep hill to climb Friday night. We will face the same situations our 1 A friends face when they step up to AA. I look forward to a new measuring stick. We base our progress on the Milan and Huntingdon games, basically the same teams every year. Are they really that good every year or are they just king of the same hill every year? Anything can happen on a given Friday night. Don Coady will have the Chargers well prepared and he will get all he can get out of his players. I hope this is a good game and maybe the View can will....but it could get ugly.
