I really dislike everything about CA, but thank you to them Dawgs for shutting up Loretto. I do believe CA has what it takes to finally get a gold ball. Carson Cary is the real deal.

Carson Cary's mom and dad graduated from Union City so I'm good with him winning it all … I'll be pulling for them and Humboldt … 

That's the way you get ready for the playoffs … Nice schedule …

Welp you get your rearend handed to you twice you just got to tip your hat ... Congrats PEABODY Bring home the Gold ...

You know the first match-up with Peabody really doesn't matter . The Tornadoes were down to their third string QB which also meant two of their best defensive backs were out as well. The McKenzie game UC lost saw Kaleb Craig, who has rushed for 2,034 yards this season, have only 48 yards on 15 carries and was playing hurt. You can say excuses but those are facts. Nobody in 2A has played the schedule UC has this season. @ Mayfield (12-0) @ Penns Grove, NJ (11-0) @ Fairley (9-2) vs Jax SS (10-2) and vs Peabody (11-1). Those are facts. UC is healthy now. It will be a different game. If my memory serves me, UC was down 28-14 to Peabody and had the ball coming out of the half. Score and make it 28-21 who knows what happens and that was with a bunch of kids playing out of position. Maybe Peabody is like Dresden was in 2016 and is just better than UC but they have it to do. UC can't have penalties and they have to hold on to the ball. They have to make a few stops on defense. If they do that, they will win. Throw the 7-5 UC record out the window. This is much different team now.

My early prediction...

If the field is wet...

Union City - 14

Peabody - 10 

(OUCH!!!!)

If the field is not wet...

Peabody - 34

Union City - 21

Maybe it will snow ...

Looks like the Hawks will come in tied for #9 in 4A ...

Big, I think they just don't cover Lake County and Obion County period … That's why you won't see LC or UC, OC or SF mentioned in any type of Dandy Dozen or anything like that ...

Plain and simple what beat us was lack of depth … Union City did everything they wanted on offense until the 4th quarter … You dominate the TOP like we did, rush for well over 300 yards, have a kid rush for over 200 yards, have no turnovers and almost no penalties you usually win … Mayfield is deeper and were running defensive linemen in and out and it wore us down late … Mayfield is a great program and they are very well coached, not only at the top but as well as top notch assistants … Those guys don't know what losing is, especially at home, and they showed that last night … I hope we gave a better account of our program than what you Mayfield fans saw from us last year … Good luck the rest of the way out ...

Adamsville beat Lexington 13-7 ... Jax SS beat TCA 14-7 ...

Union City beat Haywood 14-7 @  Dyersburg ... One of the TD drives was 18 plays long ... Doing what we do ...

My name has been in my profile since the beginning … Never was anonymous  … I had some great fun with Butchie ( Never will forget the story of the trip to Memphis and the playoff game with Manassas ), Greenfieldfan and the # 1 favorite Legend who woulda bet his house that Manassas was beating the 37-0 Golden Tornadoes in the 2008 State Championship game … Roy Dillard and his "Union County" posts … Funny stuff ...

How many do you have out for football right now? 

Not sure ... Haven't seen a roster ... Had quite a few out playing other sports ... I'd guess about the same as the last couple of years ...

Covington had several playing baseball also including starting Qb and several defensive players— we have all skill players returning except for wide receiver.

I'm sure they did ... Spring sports and all ... Had the article stated that fact, I would've posted it ...

The FB is a beast for UC but Union City didn't score 8tds.  They scored 6 for the whole scrimmage and Covington scored 9.  The QB for Covington scored 6 times and he is a freshman.  Starting QB was in the stands sitting behind me along with many other Baseball/Football players that would have helped on Defense.  Saying all that both teams were missing key kids on defense and will be strong on offense. I thought it was a physical and very spirited scrimmage.  If you like scoring it was definitely a scrimmage you would have enjoyed.  Covington busted long run after long run and UC did what it does grind it out.  I see both teams being right in the mix for another playoff run come Novmeber. Good Luck to UC and GO Chargers!

Just going by what the newspaper reported ... That's what the paper said ... Covington scored 9 TDs ... Had a bunch of long scoring plays ...

I hear that Union City is at Covington today. Unfortunately I won’t be able to go. Any updates will be appreciated.

Union City put up 8 touchdowns on the Chargers at Covington ... Kaleb Craig scored 5 TDs and had over 400 yards rushing ... Covington pretty much scored at will on a baseball/soccer depleted defense ...

Numbers are going up ...

Our defense has been a work in progress all season. Ugly at first but got prettier as the season progressed. Not a 10 maybe a 7 or 8, but it put a Gold Ball in the case.

The way our offense was, they only needed to be a 7-8 ... Four stops a game is all our offense needed ...

I’m so pumped. Great game by the Rams.  You guys really brought it.  I’m not sure how active I will be in here anymore, but I will be around.  I’m going sign out with my step son #6 on this one.   We went out with a bang.  Go Tornadoes. My handle says it all TItle Town baby 

He did a great job this year ... Fitting he took it home for the Gold ...
