Perhaps the consolidation a few years ago was unnatural. Have you guys had many good seasons since consolidation? Do you ever wish you had Jim Swafford back? Do you think politics got him? Do you think politics is a problem in the Knox Co. system? Do you think the answer is under your noses and you can't see it? Why ask why? You have some of the best players around Knox Co. and lose year after year after year. Something is wrong over there, and I think some of you are getting close to the answer.

I'd like to see Polk Co. win, because they don't have a lot going for them over there, but I think Tyner will win in another great game.

Huntingdon fans. Welcome to Camden. If you get here early, we are having a spaghetti dinner in the CHS cafeteria starting at 4:00. It's very inexpensive (5.00) and the proceeds go to the football program. If you want a seat for your ladies, bring them early. It's going to be standing room only. And thanks for making us welcome at the Jamboree for the past few decades.

Let's not air out the dirty laundry in front of the neighbors. You should write a letter to the Camden paper. It might do some good.

I have to admit, you've been doing a little bit better recently with your comments, but this one was back to your old, dumb country bumpkin line of "Tennessee Trash" talk. You don't need to say a prayer for Camden. You need to get out of your chair, step over the coon dogs, leave the trailer, get in your rusty Ford Escort, and go pay your late phone bill, so you can keep your computer on and learn more about what not to say about young men who play their hearts out on Friday nights. Regardless if the team is Camden or not, you talk too much trash about the boys.

Not two years ago when I saw Bruceton tear them apart at Bruceton. The Falcons were not competing for the playoffs then. They only had about 7 guys on the bench.

Three words: get Swafford back.

Great head coach, hard work, tremendous assistants, long hours, good jr. high program feeding in, good jr. high coaches, these current upperclassmen had a great winning percentage while in jr. high (around 90% I think), good senior leadership, good kids in general, smart quarterback, hard nosed captains, and did I mention hard work?

There will not be enough seating. Huntingdon fans over-filled their side two years ago and Camden was going in 1-4. No plans to date for portable seating. Have installed port-a-johns already for the huge group of Stang fans. With a resurgance of our program, there has been talk of adding more seating on the home and visitor's sides. If they put us in a new region with the Middle Tennessee teams, however, we will not need any new seating for the small crowds they will bring. So new seating is on hold for now.

One thing for sure. The Camden fans will be there, will be there early, and will be loud. Huntingdon fans, don't forget to sign up at the gate for a chance to win a free car. See you at Wright Field under the new Friday Night Camden Lights!

We got a new announcer last year. Our other announcer went back to being a full-time lawyer/big fan. I smiled at your post because two years ago when Huntingdon was beating the Camden squad by several dozen, he got on the p.a. late in the 3rd quarter and yelled, "That's enough Mansfield." He thought Huntingdon should put their younger players in earlier in the game. This season you can hear him yelling from the stands. He is a genuine fan and lives for Friday night football. But to my knowledge he hasn't started radio yet.

I really think McKenzie will get 3rd in the region and go to Middle TN in the first round and represent 6AA just fine. Don't write off your Rebs because they've lost a couple of close ones, with the most important part of the season coming up.

I'll go with the War Eagles in this one. However, I think Willis will keep Bruceton in the game. West Carroll should win their region if they don't have a tire blowout.

I don't know how you could say this. Willis kept Bruceton in the game against our boys. He is an exceptional player. In the 3rd quarter when it was 28-14 and he started cutting through our defensive backfield, I was beginning to get worried.

Keep up the good work ELA. It will pay off for you sooner or later. Are you in your new stadium, or are you still playing at the old field? If so did they bring any of the old bleachers over to the new school, and are there any of the old bleachers for sale?

I was certainly wrong about this one. Maybe RHS can turn things around now.

Heath Yoder should be the player of the week. His stats should look go on both sides of the ball.

Lions out to a 28-7 halftime lead. Tigers didn't give up. Came out in the second half, scored making it 28-14, held Camden to 3 and out, and took the ball down to Camden's appx. 10 yrd line. Camden's defense held, Lions got the ball and drove the distance of the field. It was downhill from there for Bruceton. Willis is a great player for Bruceton. Many of the Lions had a great game.

Go Cubs!

Camden 49, Bruceton 14 ** Riverside 25, Waverly 0*****W. Carroll 38 Perry Co. 30 **** Dyer Co. 28 CC 14

Swafford taught big line, good line, don't give up line. SD needs Swafford back. Admit it!

Today at lunch ask the big guy sitting on the end on the teacher's table next to the door. Either that or listen to the local radio station.

Swafford was still the best coach that school has had since the consolidation. At least SD had a fighting chance with the swaffmeister.

Attend the Camden v. Bruceton game and you will have a chance to win a new car.
