City lost the majority of their talent last year. This team isn't nowhere near as good but they did show alot of heart and fight.

If a 5a team gets beat by any 1a team it is embarrassing......

FC lost a ton. RB Jones is by far their best player. Pearson on the line is a force too. QB lost all his main weapons. Had an official at a middle school game tell me that the FC QB has been struggling. FC may lose a game to a 1A team this year. That would be embarrassing for that program.......

It wasn't a rivalry in the 90's.....we dominated Craple Hill....lol.

I think City fans don't fully understand the amount of talent that graduated last year..... City will have a drop off this year.

I smell the sarcasm and I completely agree. MC D Line is legit!!!!

No, TSSAA is a mafia. It's all and only about money. Most corrupt organization in the state.

Yuh, Fayetteville City

City is no different. Lol. Recruiting kids from every school in their. district, getting AAU coaches to pay rent for families to transfer to City, bringing in illegal kids from Alabama. You have a case of selective memory it seems. Didn't City get punished by TSSAA a couple years ago for playing an illegal player in football????

This is the same coach that scheduled Coffee County to play in 1A preseason tourneys then party in the lobby after they beat the 1A teams. Lol. Good coaches don't trophy hunt, they prepare by playing better teams. The most talented team in the state in their classification and nothing to show for it.......

Reed deserves a chance to see what he can do with a program that has been held hostage for a quarter of a century. There's more to be consider here though. Franklin County will not make or move a teacher to help improve Huntland football. Reed will be hamstrung with his predecessors choices for coaches because FC BOE will not allow him to bring in his ideal staff. It's a tough spot with limited options. He has the passion and energy, something the previous HC never had.

Vocational jobs are paying far more than degree jobs now anyway. Degrees are a dime a dozen now but a PLC Programmer is highly sought after and EXTREMELY well paid. I know cats making 3x the salary of degree toting teachers........

I'd send my kid to City before LC any day of the week. LC been a racist redneck school for as long as I can remember. Lol. Smfh.

City isn't more talented than McKenzie. McKenzie drug MC and City barely escaped MC......

I'll take McKenzie by 2 tds. City offense plays right into the strength of McKenzie defense.

huntland HC is telling his players that huntland has played City tougher than anyone and that they will do the same this Friday night. He told his team if they play hard, they'll be surprised at how close it will be. Lol.

Blocking isn't a penalty....which city got flagged for......smh

I don't have a kid on either team. I don't even have a kid that attends either school but I do know the area and know what some of these refs are......Truth stings at times, I understand

Couple of things. 1. Dawson White was the best player on the field tonight. Kid is a monster. 2. City needs game play discipline. I know the kids were just having fun & playing with passion but these redneck refs don't like that. 3. I underestimated MC or overestimated City, still not sure which one

I think City wins by 2 tds. I think MC is riding on a false high right now, meaning their opponents skill sets, up to this point in the season, severely pale in comparison to City. Especially in the trenches. I'd like to see my Raiders pull it out and Coach White is a great coach that has brought life back to MC but my gut says City is just a different beast. Hoping MC shocks the hill tomorrow night. It won't be an easy task however.

I disagree, there a number of great teams in 1A this year. City, don't drink this kool-aid. You haven't won anything yet.

I don't believe it's play calling that's the root of the problem at huntland. The problem is program management & culture development. The HC has had 25 years to develop a brand, a signature of excellence, an iron fist of identity.

The only 1A program in our area that has not made the state title game in the last 30 years is Huntland. Cornersville, Fayetteville City, Moore County have all been to the state title game in the past 30 years. The only thing worse than having habitual mediocre seasons is a community that's been conditioned to believe & accept that their players / kids aren't good enough to win big......

This is rat poison for Corntown. Lol.
