I wonder what the coach said to the Pioneers at the half? Talk about a game with a complete turnaround....Cumberland Co up 21-7 at the half; 40 seconds later the game is tied; and Warren County has the best half of football I've seen in a long time and wins 43-21. Lots of penalties on both teams. It seems Cumberland Co really got frustrated after the two quick WC scores to start the 2nd half. Ended up 12 penalties on each team. Congrats #10 Mr Northcutt with 246 years and I think 4 TDs. Mr Robinson #76 had a great game also.

Wow! Thanks for the updates 85. Too bad somebody had to loose. Way to go Pioneers!

5:29 left in game FC 37 WC 20. I think this is about done.

WC fumbles around midfield. FC recovers and FC scores quickly. FC 30 WC 20 8:07 left in the 4th.

11:14 left in the 4th. FC 23 WC 20

FC 17 WC 20 4TH qrt to go.

FC 17 WC 14 3:15 left in 3rd.

When Rankin got the Gatoraide dumped on him his expression was hilliarous. I don't remember seeing a coach "freeze" like that before.

We region 3 fans (Cookeville, Lincoln Co, Warren Co and the others) know how good region 4 is first hand. We cant get anybody past the second round against those fellers. We go away with a good felling inside when we give them a close game. They are one of the reasons our region sometimes looks so bad. Maybe with the new system we can play somebody besides them in the fist round!

Hold on now......I resemble that remark. But seriously folks, Warren Co has been down so long that the last 4 years are a great turnaround. Even when Coffee Co was down WC found a way to loose. We used to enjoy fighting it out at the bottom with Coffee Co. That's when the Coffee co game got to be big for Warren Co. I always liked the visitors side stadium at Coffee County.

We actually like the yanks visiting down here every now and then....meeting them makes us proud of who we are and how much we are blessed to be from Dixie. Some of them are real nice people and....bless their hearts...... I hope they can export some of our good thinking on their place when they finally go back. (Say what you want about them and then say ...."Bless their hearts")

Ha... yeah. That too.

Congrats to the rebels! But I was wanting Cumberland Co to win so Warren Co could host a playoff game. Good luck to all the region 3 bunch in round 1.....we're all gonna need it. Franklin Co might win more if they would play Dixie more...and show your colors.

...and we still dont care how yall did it up north. (War ain't over...Confederate Gov't never surrendered. We're getting ready for round two....and we got NASA in Houston and the rocket place in Huntsville the the really big thing they make up at Oak Ridge and we STILL got most of the best soldiers in the current US military from our native land.... AND we got SEC football! Now somebody play dixie and lets get the playoffs started.

You win the cookie for guessing the closest! Great game for the pioneers. Probably the best all round game I've seen them play all year. now for my game summary (better do this before I go to bed and deam it up differently). Pioneers came out stong in the first half. I think Cookeville only hade the ball three times and maybe got i first down in all of that. WC defense did really good. I was really suprised Cookeville didn't try to pass a lot more than they did. WC put together a good time consuming ground game and drove about 60 or so yard on their second possession to go up 7-0. At one point WC had the ball 1st and goal on the 7 but a couple of penalties and a good Cookeville defense put them back and the Pioneers come up about 10 yards short on a FG attempt. Cookeviile looked good on offense starting the second half but it was stopped by an interception by Mr. #51 of WC. WC had to punt anter the interception and a wide snap recovered by the new punter on the 2 (he should have kicked it out the back of the end zone) gave Cookeville the ball on the 2. They stick it in and the score is now tied at 7-7. Most of the fourth quarter was played inside of Cookeville's 40 as Warren county tries to score but turns the ball over a couple of times. On the last one with just a couple of minutes to go Henegar (I think) of Cookeville grabbed the ball from the WC runner as he was about to go into the end zone. WC's defense played great all night but especially in the 4th. Anyway - final after 4 was 7-7. WC scores on the first OT play by a run up the middle by Mr #34 (Morgan Wilcher - kind of a game hero for WC tonight). 14-7 WC. Cookeville FINALLY goes into the spread offense and on the third down play I think it was they scored. Cookeviile almost missed the PAT - but got it - 14-14. Cookeville gets the ball and get to third and inches. Two attempts up the middle are stopped COLD by the pioneers and WC gets the ball back. 1st play - Wilcher for 8 years up the middle. 2nd play Wilch up the middle for the TD. WC wins 20-14. First time since 1992 Warren Co beats Cookeville. BTW, I thought Cookeville was flat tonight. I think they are probably better them what they showed us (maybe they though they had 2nd place wrapped up . . . .so why show anything for that region 4 bunch.) ON TO THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

turnovers...............AAAAHHHHH!!!!!! - they're killin' WC!

Warren Co 21 Cumberland Co 7 for the final. Cumberland County looked to be the smallest team Warren County will play all year. Warren County must have had them by 30 to 40 lbs all the way across the line. CC played very hard tonight. wish I could say the same thing about WC. The WC defense looks good most of the night (two good goal line stands) but the WC offense looked liked the didn't practice this week. Was glad they didn't put the ball on the ground quite as much as they've been doing so much earlier this season. Passing was infrequent but effective for at least one of the scores. The other two WC TD's were Mr. Wilcher pounding up the middle. Cumberland blocked an early third Quarter WC punt and recovered it in the end zone for their TD. WC's offense didn't have much of what you would call "big plays" but did put together a couple of good time consuming drives. Warren county's size eventually won the day. Hats off to the Cumberland Co punter and QB - both played very good games. Good game for the Warren Co defensive front. Warren Co will have to really step up and do better to get a win at home next week against Lincoln Co.

OK here my game summary (from memory so i might be off a little). First half neither team could get anything going on offense. I think both teams had no more than 2 first downs. Neither team could capitalize on the other teams mistakes (and they both made some). Warren county had the edge in the special teams so the momentum looked like it might go WC's way. 0 to 0 at the half. Late in the third qrt Warren county get the quick dive up the middle working with Northcutt running the ball and puts together a drive and finished it by running Wilcher up the middle for about 6 yards and a TD. Early in the 4th Coffee Co put a nice drive with Kanjanabout (I know I spelled it wrong - and he's still a great running back) poping up the middle about three or four time for big gainers and drives down fast and scores and the game is tied 7 -7. Warren County then puts together another drive and scores and is then up 14-7. In this drive the Quarterback kept the ball on the option for a couple of good runs - one was for about 60 yards or so. CC still fights hard but turns the ball over to WC on downs. CC passing game connected some but not enough. WC drives down to puts up a FG and goes up 17-7. A couple of earlier FG attemps in the game were not good but I think there was a problem with the snap getting the kickers timing was off. Kicker was then carried off the field by K Harris but he (the kicker) really doesnt weight very much so no big deal. CC tried to put some point on the board in the last three minutes and almost scored on the last play with an incomplete pass of about 15 yards into the end zone. Warren county had to run the ball tonight because the passing game wasn't working - 0 for 6 in passing I think. A couple or three of them were great passes but dropped. (I never could catch either so I was in the line). First time Warren Co beats Coffee Co since 1999 and first time in Coffee Co since 1989 I think. (Now we don't hate Coffee County so much anymore!!)

Warren Co plagued by turnovers again...6 i think. White Co took advantage of turnovers and played real hard. Much better White Co team than last year. Played with much better sportmanship if you know what I mean. I think there were no penalties against White Co. Warren Co could move the ball on the run up the middle and did have a couple of good drives. Warren Co defense would stuff, sack and hold for losses and then have a pass coverage breakdown on third and long. Warren co defensive front played well although pressure on the White Co QB should have been a little better. Good to have Mr. wilcher back in the game. He score the 2nd Warren Co TD. Warren Co's Northcutt is an incredible runnng back. "Pumpkin" got flagged for a block in the back on a good Northcutt run one time.

My predection for tonight: Warren Co come out....and stomps on the what ever it is in the middle of the field. Hey it worked last year pretty good. Riverdale was stunned to think Warren Co would even think of such a thing and were out of their game a bit plus it got the Pioneers fired up (.....till the were down by 3 TDs that is).

...but we still miss the links on the schedules to the previous years.

OK I just changed my mind. Now I want Coffee County to win!

(This tread ain't for region 4 folks - they can all tell us how great they are later...and they do have a great region.) After week 8 the playoff teams appear to be set but the placements are still to be decided upon. Right now the Region looks like this: Team Region Overall Coffee County 4-0 6-2 Lincoln County 3-0 6-2 Cookeville 2-1 6-2 Warren County 2-2 5-3 Franklin County 0-4 1-7 Cumberland Co 0-4 0-8 The remaining region games are Lincoln Co vs. Cookeville; Lincoln co vs. Coffee Co Cookeville vs Warren Co and Franklin Co vs Cumberland Co. If Cookeville and Coffee Co win the rest of their games the playoff placements will be: 1 Coffee Co 5-0 2 Cookeville 4-1 3 Lincoln Co 3-2 4 Warren Co 2-3 or if Lincoln beat Cookeville: 2. Lincoln Co 3. Cookeville If Lincoln Co beats Cookeville and Coffee and Cookeville beats Warren: 1. Lincoln Co 2. Coffee Co 3. Cookeville 4. Warren Co or if Warren Co wins: 3. Warren Co 4. Cookeville Here's where it get interesting: If Lincoln beats Coffee but looses to Cookeville and Cookeville beats Warren (and Coffee beats Goodpasture) we have one of those three way tie things all three with a region of 4-1 and overall of 7-3. We then look at teams they defeated that won 50% or more of their games. Cookeville would probably have four (Warren Co and Lebanon and MUS and Lincoln Co) Coffee would probably have 4 (Tullahoma, Warren Co, Cookeville and Goodpasture) and Lincoln would have three (Coffee Co, Warren Co and Tullahoma). I don't know if they go back to the head to head to determine if Cookeville or Coffee Co gets the first spot or if the go on to the next step - so I dont know what would happen. If Warren beats Cookeville AND Ensworth AND then Lincoln looses to Cookeville and to Coffee (AND if the stars line up just right AND if ALGore finally admits to being an idiot, etc etc.) then it gets interesting again. Coffee Co would get 1st by being 5-0 in the region (we would all be sick of them by now and wish them bad luck in the playoffs). Warren Co , Cookeville and Lincoln Co would all be 3-2 in the region with Warren Co at 7-3, Cookeville overall 7-3 and Lincoln Co overall at 7-3. I think Warren Co would be 2nd by virture of beating Cookeville in the head to head match and it would end up like this: 1. Coffee Co 5-0 2 Warren Co 3-2 (7-3) 3 Cookeville 3-2 (7-3) 4 Lincoln Co 3-2 (6-4) Unless of couse they dont go back to the head to head but look at victories of 50% teams then Warren Co would have two (Cookeville and Ensworth) Cookeville would have three (MUS and Lincoln Co and Lebanon - assuming Leabanon beats Blackman or siegel) and Lincoln Co would have two (Warren Co and Tullahoma). Then I get confused again. Hey, I can deam can't I?

Come on the McMinnville...y'all can eat Mexican here in about 4 places.

Warren Co wins 47-20!
