Having seen both teams play already this year, and judging by what has happened in west Tennessee football this year, I would have to say that Adamsville has a shot at the win. Camden has some talented players in the Boyd brothers, Yoder and Markham. Adamsville has T.J. Robinson, Browder (despite his size he is pretty good) and T.J.'s little brother, if he is playing now. The key for Adamsville will be to control the clock. If they can control the line of scrimmage and get Robinson a good game on the ground, they got it. But it won't be that easy. Camden has a very determined group of kids. This could prove to be a very interesting Friday night in Region 6-2 A! Good luck to both teams!!

Actually Drew Hayes is the quarterback. Cody Cook is our running back. So I assume you mean run him more? If so. I agree with you. I think if the Rebels used a little more of a balanced attack with Hayes passing and Cook running, they would be EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!! You would have opposing coachs losing sleep because they wouldn't know who to stop!! Anyway. I played defensive end some and several of the special teams. That was a great game! Aaron Cothran (hope spelling is correct) was a load running the ball!! Maybe the guys on this years teams can have a rematch of sorts in the playoffs. Good luck to the Jackets the rest of the year!!

Actually McKenzie recovered that punt, which bounced off one of the Fairview players' leg, at the 28. We then scored on the seventh play with a one yard run by Cook. Cook then added the two point conversion which sent it to overtime. Fairview got the ball first in OT, scored a TD but missed the two point conversion. McKenzie scored on third and 22, compliments of a Drew Hayes pass, and kicked the PAT to win the game. We finished the regular season at 6-4 and third in the region. We then overcame a 17 point third quarter deficit which resulted in a Rebel win in OT. I already explained what we did to Fairview in the second round. In the third round we trailed Lewis County in the fourth quarter and scored the winning touchdown on fourth and ten with 30 seconds left in the ballgame. In the Semis we lost a heartbreaker at Memphis Mitchell 12 to 0. We played with more heart that year than any team I have ever seen. We acquired a nickname, The Cardiac Kids. That cinderella season was my senior year and there was no luck to it!! We simply played harder and wanted it more than the other teams!! Please don't say we got lucky because we beat you. That is just disrespectful!!

What? It's "sad" that I am proud of him? Look. I am not building Cody up. Cody has built himself up! Once again I have to tell some MORON on here that this is a kid who has been All Region, All West and All State the past two years! He was the Region Offensive MVP his Sophomore year!! He is McKenzie's ALL TIME LEADING RUSHER!!! Cody doesn't need help to get built up!! And by the way, if you were from McKenzie and have sat on our side anytime in the past few games, you would hear the fans complaining that he isn't running enough!! Guess what else? I have been one of the last people to say something!! And thanks Duckman38201!! It's good to see someone get on here who knows the facts!! And like I said secretasianman, I am very proud of Cody!! I am not building him up!! I just wish you people that bad mouth Cody on here were man enough to say it to my face. Why do you hide behind a computer to bash a kid that is as good as Cody is? The only reason I use this message board to convey my feelings is, like I said, none of you people are man enough to bad mouth a player of Cody's caliber to his family's face!! It makes me sick!! Once again, I'm very proud of my brother and always will be!! I am his biggest fan and always will be!! Thanks again Duckman38201!!

Look. McKenzie has a very potent running game. Someone by the name of Cody Cook. You might have heard of him. He seems to be pretty well known. Well, by everyone but you. We don't need to create a running game, we just need to USE HIM for a change, and USE HIM wisely. And by the way, we have more than just Lacey at reciever. Let's see, there's Greg Pruitt, Glenn Smith, Julian Tucker, Cody Cook coming out of the backfield and a very talented tightend by the name of Clint Anderson. To be honest with you, Anderson is probably the best of the recievers (no offense Petey, you are good, but Clint just refuses to go down though!!) The only thing you said that I agree with is that McKenzie needs to change things to win. But that is up to the Coach. Good luck Friday Rebels!!

I don't know who you are, and frankly I don't care, but how dare you say that Cody is faking an injury!! Cody has no reason to fake an injury!! Why would the best player on the team fake an injury? According to Coach D, Cody practiced. But I guess Coach D was lying to me about that. And "oc" I don't care what is going on at practice, but Bryson has no buisness EVER starting before Cody! Coach Comer needs to swallow his pride, or whatever the problem is, and put the REAL RUNNING BACK in the game! Bryson isn't as strong, isn't as fast and just isn't anywhere near as good as Cody is!!!! Like I said "rebelman4life", I don't know who you are, but I bet you know who I am, so why don't you come talk to me man to man about this "Cody mess". No I'm not threatning you, I just think we need to get some things straight, just in case you can't hear all the fans in the stands begging to see Cody run the ball. You know they're at every game calling for him. Don't try to deny the fact that we all want to see Cody run the ball. I've kept my mouth shut too long about this situation, but it won't be shut anymore!!!

Mom is fine, for now. And To be honest with you, I have been more upset than she has. She has held her tongue for the most part. I have done 99% of the yelling for our family. Now as for the overall yelling and anger, the rest of the fans had said more than me, until last week at Adamsville. After what he did to Cody last week, I couldn't take it anymore. But I never said anything tell the end of the game then. And by the way. Did you know that Cody put himself in at Adamsville? From what I understand, Coach Comer wasn't even going to put him in. I know this for a fact. Well I know for a fact Cody had to put himself in. Got that straight from the Coaches. And regardless of what anyone says, if Coach Comer wanted Cody to play, he would play him and Cody wouldn't have to put himself in just so he could get some offensive reps. Believe me, Cody wants to carry the ball, and he has every right to want to carry it. Hopefully things will change for the better. Guess will find out next Friday. GO REBELS!!!

I will take a guess and say you are talking about Keagan Ball. I'm not sure though since I'm from McKenzie. But if you are, and he really did pace the sidelines alot, why? From what I know he is a very good player. Seems to me that Mansfield would play the best guys. I don't understand why you would sideline one of your really good players. But I am on the outside looking in, so I don't know what happened since I wasn't at the game.

I would have to agree with Duckman. There are many things that have led to Mckenzie's lack of performance this year. This team has plenty of talent to do good things. But you can't blame it all on the defense. Yes the defense is slacking this year, but this offense is very capable of hanging 50 or so points on teams, if the right personal is on the field. And Duckman, you are right. Cody Cook playing so little running back is hurting us. He is playing less than 50% of the time on offense. I'm tired of everyone in McKenzie, and the other teams we play that don't even know Cody, asking why he isn't playing much offense. And for those of you that heard Cody was hurt, just look at him play. He isn't hurt. You can tell he's not. He's beat up, but so is everyone. It is just that point in the season. I have never heard so many people complain about one guy not playing. And by the way, me and my family have been the last ones to say anything. But I am not saying he is the difference between us being 3-2 and 5-0. But I'll let ya'll in on a secret. The coaches say that we play better offensively with him on the field. There are still plenty of games left though. And with Huntingdon falling tonight and if our defense and offense steps up, who's knows what could happen. GO REBELS!!!!

Just to clear the air, when I say "category" I'm talking about their skill. And technically you can group Drew and Cody together since they are backs. They are both considered offensive backs. Did you know that they are grouped together for Mr. Football? And Cook got 1200 yards last year without Ricky. Cody was responsible for his own success. Ricky didn't carry the ball for him. Ricky didn't make the jukes for him. Ricky didn't break the tackles for him. Ricky didn't score the touchdowns for him. I'm not trying to take anything away from big Rick, because he was a help, but he didn't make Cody. Cody made himself. And another thing. We didn't run behind Ricky everytime. And the more he carries the ball, the better he gets. So we can keep using him. It worked his sophmore year. And I bash Tron because it is his own fault and they are not excuses they are facts. If he had worked out the past two summers he might be a little better. I refuse to give a player credit when he doesn't even want to better himself. And two McKenzie fans aren't arguing. I throw out the facts and you have to come back with a pointless comment to try to defend what you said. Face the facts. So leave me alone and don't say things like Cody's success came at the hands of another player. Just give credit where credit is due. GO REBELS!!!!

Actually if I thought that I would be correct. It is very possible for a rookie to be awesome. I would consider Drew a rookie last year. Yes he played in some games his freshman year, but he really got the true starter nod last year. I think he had a pretty good year. Didn't he break a lot of records? Didn't he get a lot of post season honors? Yes he did!! And do you recall Cody's sophmore year? Let's see? Didn't he break a lot of records? Didn't he get a lot of post season honors? Yes he did!! Did you know he had never started a game until then? So the only reason Cody is good isn't because he started at runningback for a few years, it's called natural ability! Drew has it. Cody has it. Petey has it. So a rookie can be good. Don't make excuses for Tron's lack of ability, strength and work ethic. He needs to stay on defense. Cody has the runningback spot taken care of. He shouldn't have to split time with a guy that, excuse for the phrase, CAN'T HOLD A CANDLE TO HIM!! Like I said, I don't like talking smack about our players, but don't try to put Tron in the same category as Cody and Drew. GO REBELS!!!

No Tron wasn't impressive. I don't like dogging our own players but he just isn't. Now the other guys, Cook, Keanthony and even Drew on his two or three runs looked good. He is too small, too weak and he just doesn't have the true runningback talent. He does good on D though. Hope to see more of the balanced attack Friday against Camden. Maybe they will let Cook carry it more than 9 or 10 times. But regardless of that we need to come away with the WIN!! GO REBELS!!!!

If they bring it together they should be there. There are still some kinks. but they progress every week. You think if the guys play to their full potential they can make it to the Boro? I know it's a little early to be asking, but you never know who could be there. That's why they play the game.

Let me tell you a secret. McKenzie does have a rushing game. And it is more potent than ever, if given the ball. And the run did fairly well when it wasn't getting called back on penalties. The line just needs a little more practice and discipline. It will all come together. GO REBELS!!!!!!!

I thought this thread was dead. No Cody has those yards because he is a very talented back. And McKenzie doesn't have an easy schedule. If are schedule was so easy how come a couple years ago for two years in a row you guys were watchin us play in the semis? Not taking anything away from ya'll because ya'll were a talented football team and still are. Just give credit were credit is due. And don't get on here and dog a player you obviusly know nothing about. Cody is a hard working and talented athlete that loves the game more than most people. So why don't you face the facts (Cody's stats and awards) Before you post again. Good luck Dawgs!! and....... GO REBELS!!!
