monster man

Great game. Hats off to Camden for making it tough when everyone else was counting them out. I thought one of the unsung hero's for Camden was Jackson Burns as he ran hard and picked up 3rd and short for 1st downs for Camden, blocked well on the sweeps and set the corner well from defensive end. All that said, Huntingdon just out muscled them for the most part. There was a couple of situations where the refs made some bad calls especially the one when Huntingdon man was down and the other mustang picked it up and made the 1st down. Terrible call. Happened right in front on me, the ball was dead as the man was down. The pass interference in the west end zone I felt was a good call because the guy jumped up to catch it and was clipped so you can't really say it was uncatchable. His hands were on the ball when he got his legs clipped out from under him. I do believe Camden got a bit of home cooking on that spot on 4th and 1. It was a good game and Warbritten is everything I have heard he was and they have a great lot of other hosses too. Those backs had better watch the hurdles or they will be watching the rest of the season from the side lines though. I am so sick of this 4 year, we the greatest dynasty of all times, from Perry county and I hope you will shut them up. They have been decent for 4 years and you would think they are Alcoa, Maryville, or Milan.

I think Bruceton will hang in for a half but end up loosing. They are much improved but it will be a couple of more years before they can hang with Camden for an entire game. By then they will be a powerhouse in single A again. Coach Williams has them going in the right direction! Prove me wrong tigers.

Yes but Huntindgon is 1A playoff team.

How do you think this one will go? Jerry Hayes back at South Side. They were pretty good under him before.

I might see some diffrences of opionions from 3-6, but I gotta still see McKenzie 1 and Huntingdon 2. Dresden may slip in there at 2 but those three just have bigger schools and more athletes and it is hard for those other three to compete week in and week out. Other three are really 1A and those top ones 2A schools in the traditional way we used to do it.

A lot of em will do that though. I have seen that happen in the past at Bruceton who you will be hosting week 0. I can't believe it is going to be on August 19th. It gets earlier every year. They gonna have scrimmages first week in August now. What's next July football?

I see it as: 1. McKenzie 2. Huntingdon 3. Bruceton 4. Dresden 5. West Carroll 6. Gleason McKenzie still top team in the region but Huntingdon will probably be much improved. Bruceton found their feet toward the end of the season and has a lot of experience returning after eliminating Union City in round 1 last fall. I do not know what to make of the rest of the region. Should be interesting.

Lake County is always fast. Take it from someone who knows. We played them every year I was in high school and lost to them every year. 1 bowl game, 3 time in playoffs. They won 1 or 2 state championships and were put out the other times by ECS who won it and bare in mind that it was just 3 classes then and all the privates were hungry for and playing for the title. I don't think that PC will be able to defend the perimeter against them and doubt Lake Co. can stop them. It looks to be a total shootout. I will not be surprised to see 50 to 60 pts by each team. Perry can score but so can LC. Should be a barn burner. LC put up 60 on UC and 50 on Huntingdon.

Wooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh hoss. Milan ain't there yet. Alcoa may be a lock but Milan sure ain't. Camden Goodpasture and Pearl Cohn standing in way. What about CAK? Are they an automatic win?

Camden is gonna get her done this year. Camden wins 21 -14 and plays Goodpasture in semi's. I don't know how that will pan out yet, but hoping Camden gets a crack at the Tornados. Milan has played them and can never seem to come up with the win so maybe Camden can get it done.

I don't doubt it as most of the industry in Carroll county has taken a hit, many have chose to move to Jackson or somewhere to find work. Bruceton's numbers have been on the decline the last few years also.

Will this game be carried on radio? If so what station? Good news story too.

Yeah that is the mark of a good team. I heard the PC WC game was a barn burner. Bruceton typically does not score a huge amount of points this year. They don't need to get into a shoot out with PC if they hope to win.

I think Huntingdon is much improved. I know what their records are but, I just don't see LC beating Huntingdon. Huntingdon 35 Lake Co. 21 Heck, I know when it gets right down to it, I'll probably be pulling for Lake Co. but I don't think it will happen.

Good Post McDad! I am sure PC has a good football team and will probably win, you don't go 9-1 and not have a good team, but I thought the same thing last week at UC. We did lose to 5 tough opponents, 3 of them 2A district teams that are still in the playoffs, one of them a 1A team that has been a 2A powerhouse for years, and Camden a good 3A team that very well make it to the semifinals again this year. That is all I was saying in my post. You have to look at Quality wins, but Quality losses as well. I guess that boils down to strength of schedule. Bruceton is not what they once were, but they are on the right track.

Apples and Oranges.... same debate going on in college football but at least we got a playoff so it's not just voted on. We'll see Friday night. Fellow I know saw WC and PC this year and he said they both had good football teams so maybe we can hang in there on Friday night.

No, your still missing the point. If you had played those 5 teams you would have the same record we have. You played 5 good teams out of your region, not out of ours. We have been beating that region almost everytime we play them for years and you still think your the SEC. Someone on here said that this region was the SEC of 1A.... news flash .... you ain't the SEC. If we got so abused we must be mighty tough cause we bounced back and still in it. See you Friday night.

Are you kidding? We played Camden, McKenzie, TCA, Dresden and Huntingdon! I stack them up against that bunch you just rattled off any day. You may beat Bruceton Friday night...but you have not played a tougher schedule. All are still playing mostly in 2A and 3A ball.

Huge win for the Tigers. It may not have been pretty... but they made the plays when they had to. Good enough to make a 2nd round for the first time since 07.I am excited for them. PC next Friday night.

If you had been watching Bruceton the last couple of years, you would understand why we are very happy to make the playoffs again. At one point this season they were riding a 23 game losing streak. A very few years ago if we did not win 7 games and go to the quarter finals the fans were disappointed. Most teams in quad 4 would have taken a whipping from Camden (1 seed 3a), McKenzie(1 seed 2a), TCA(2 seed 2a) and Dresden (3 seed 2A). They are all playoff teams. Huntingdon at 4-6 is not a bad team either and that was close game at half. They romped us pretty good late in the game but it was not a blowout from start to finish. I think we even may have been leading at half. Huntingdon is not what they have been in the last few years, but not a cupcake. They were the last team to beat Alcoa for a 2A championship, I beleive and that was only a very few years ago. I am not delusional concerning where we are as a football program. HBR has a long way to go to be the team they were in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's but they made some strides this year. That is what we are happy about. Not that we lost to those teams, but that we did compete with those we should compete with and I think we will be competitive with those others in time. All that said, it will be hard for us to compete with Union City tonight. I think this bunch will come out an give a good account of themselves and if they get a few breaks who knows. We have some injuries that have really hurt us all year, but they have stuck it out and won some games when their back was too the wall and that is why we have a lot of optimism for the coaches, players and program.

Back in the 80's when I was playing ball, we were in awe of their facilities, especially the locker rooms and filed house. They had an array of whirlpools and training apparatus we had never seen and I have heard that it has just got better with time. Henry county also has a major filed house and stadium with a jumbotron. Guys from one of the Jackson schools came back raving over their facilities just this year.

Camden am 1220 station carries Bruceton games. I have heard that they can pick it up better your way than over in western carroll county. You might want to check it out.

Just looking at the brackets I think McKenzie has a very good shot at another silver ball and the opportunity for a gold. They will likely face Humbolt or TCA in semis if they get through M.P., Riverside and most likely it will be Trousdale in the championship. They should be very familiar with everyone on this side outside M.P. and they have played them before as well. Really got lucky that only way to hit T.C. is in championship game. They are the cream of the crop again from what I hear. They have beaten a lot of good teams this year including Mayfield, Ky who is always very good. I am really pulling for McKenzie to get the gold ball. If they can get one, 3 out of 4 football playing schools in Carroll County will have a state championship. Pretty good accomplishment.
