Bad news Matt...Gaskin is out and will be having surgery the first of the week. Gonna be a tough row to hoe for the Lions this week without him. Some folks are going to have to really step up 'cause #12's shoes are awfully big ones to fill. Easley did a great job Friday night and I know the coaches will have him prepared. This is the kind of adversity that'll let this team know what they are really made of....Go LIONS!

Congrats to Smith Co on the win and good luck next week. Congrats to Harpeth from Camden on a great season...glad to see you guys back in playoffs where you're supposed to be. Looking forward to seeing you guys next year (although I'm not looking forward to the drive!)! Good Luck and see you then!

First of all congrats to Westview...gave Camden all they wanted and more. The Chargers will be a force to be reckoned with next season. See you then... To the Lions....I /We could not be more proud of you. The way the team over came adversity when Gaskin was injured was unbelievable. When you lose your QB/Safety/Punter/Holder/Leading Rusher-TD producer in a playoff game against a very good Martin team, you are down 3 points in the 4th quarter and still march down the field, score a TD and make big stops on D it was absolutely remarkable. Way to play like a team... Great job #4 Derek Easley stepping up and filling some extremely large shoes, you are the man. #15 Trae White was absolutely beastly tonite....the kid is a baller for sure. Made some great pass breakups that saved sure TDs and knocked the dog-slobber outta some players that'll be seeing him in their nightmares for a while. #19 Kyle Blackburn what can I say, you saved the day...as usual. The good thing is all these guys are just Sophomores so it'll be more of the same next season! Great team effort...let's take it to Milan and take care of business Go LIONS!

Thanks for the words of encouragement Stat! You can listen at wrjbradio.com...just click the "listen live" button. The Lions will have to play an exceptional game tonight to survive, but Coach Ward seems to think they're ready. Hope he's right Go LIONS!

Sounds like a wishful thinking prediction to me. But hey, whatever works for you

Stat...any updates on #22 condition? Looked bad when it happened, I thought for sure he had broken his arm. I'm guessing since he was able to hang in and finish the game (the kid's a warrior) that he must have hyper-extended his elbow. Hope it's minor whatever it is...don't know many players that would have toughed that one out, last game or not. Looks like Lewis Co will be back to the team of old next year...too much talent on this squad to stay down for long. Good luck to you guys next season and maybe we can run into you guys again same time next year.

Congrats to Westview and I sure am glad that you guys won cause I DID NOT want to make that Memphis trip. If I'm not mistaken Westview hasn't lost since the last time these two teams met. You could see when Camden and Westview played last that Westview was beginning to really pull things together. I expect this game to be one of the toughest games of the season for the Lions. Hopefully the Lions can come out with some folks healthy that are a little banged up right now, firing on all cylinders and with the rust shaken off from the week 10 bye. Should be a great game Go LIONS!

Owcoa.....Why don't you crawl back under whatever rock you crawled out from. Good luck next year Lewis co...looks like you have the makings of a great season in '10.

I guess you mean when Lewis Co. beat Camden 38-21 in 2005. That's a 17 point loss you call "getting drilled" In 2004, Camden beat Lewis Co. 32-0. That's a 32 point loss. What would you call that? rcombs has the right of it...it was a drilling especially considering how favored Camden was to win that game. Lewis Co came in and manhandled the Lions that year...here's to hoping that doesn't happen again. Go LIONS!

Gerry...this year, just like last year, it's mostly non-Camden fans spouting off about Camden dominating their first round opponents. Real Camden fans have a healthly respect for the Panther program and know they better bring their A game every time the Lions play from here on out. Do I think we win? Yes I do because I believe in this team. Do I need a Fairview fan who has been just as guilty in the past of over looking playoff opponents ( do I really need to bring up 2004?) telling me how loud I should cheer for my team? No, not really.

Anybody overlooking Lewis CO is a fool. Camden is a familiar foe for them. They're not scared...why should they be when they KNOW they have beat them in the past. Let's hope all this overlooking is being done by the fans and not by the Lion players. Games like this can come back and bite you in the butt if you do. Go LIONS!

Creek Wood 42 Camden 35 I had a feeling this one would be a shoot-out and it certainly didn't disappoint. Neither team really had an answer for the other's offense and it looked like it would be a last-one-holding the-ball-wins kinda game. Camden had a chance to tie with a couple minutes to go but shot themselves in the foot with some costly penalties and Creek Wood made some stops that put the brakes on for Lions. All I can say about the refs is wow, ummmmm...... wow. Creek Wood has a very good team and will give someone fits trying to stop them in the playoffs. Hats off to you guys....it was a big game and you earned the win. I have a feeling we'll be doing this same thing every year. Good Luck in the playoffs and represent 11AA well. Camden shouldn't hang their heads...they hung right in there with a team that was a physical mismatch in every way. Go get 'em in the playoffs and remember your season is far from over. The fun starts in 2 weeks

agree hopefully with bell back and talley the belly will be successful... if thats the way you feel lions4life then just let us know if you arent gonna show up cause i would hate to go all the way to camden and not see this game its not trash talkin when you give opinions on the outcome of the game...but when you say things like "yard bird" thats a little trash talk its not like we are callin yall kitty cats... Gotcha with yard bird huh? You guys are so easy! No in all seriousness this will no doubt be the toughest game Camden plays all year ( maybe even including the playoffs). As someone else mentioned it's impressive to go from 1-9 to 7-1 in one year and have a very good shot at a district championship. Shows that Creek Wood must have great coaching and great players who have bought into the program. All the jawing back and forth has been fun this week, but tonight is what it's really all about. Hope we have an injury free, exciting game with safe travel for everyone to and from the game. Let's hope both teams can leave it all on the field. Alright boys... almost time to crown an 11AA champion! Go LIONS!

Camden's linebackers and secondary have the ability to step up and play big when the game is on the line. I expect them to play really well this friday. it will be really hard for Creek Wood to get big plays. Camden's defense will continuously force them into 3rd down situations. If Creek Wood can pull out a win in this game they will have to play mistake free football. They cannot have costly penalties or turnovers. I think the same things apply for the Lions...they will have to play a mistake-free, hard hitting game to pull this one out. As I said before, these are the games that make HS football second to none. Go LIONS!

Sounds like you guys win then.... Should Is should like... might? Or is it more like...could? Kinda sounds like.... maybe. Doesn't sound a thing like will though. So I guess we'll show up just for kicks and giggles with our stinky LBs and DBs anyway.

Sounds like you guys win then....

alright makes sense i guess...show me where someone else has ran their mouth. rcombs acted like someone said somethin about yalls mommas or somethin... Believe me if one of CW's fans said something I took exception to you'd know it alright good talk...are you speaking in some kind of code or somethin??? im hoping the field will be dry for this game...i know they were callin for rain on thursday...hopefully not too much will make its way to the field. If there's a problem with the field being wet I have a feeling the "the world largest and strongest fan" will be put into use again. Wish I had Bulldog Fan #1's pic of it.....

walkinthefloor...you are in desperate need of spellcheck and a remedial English course... "I wanna thank all my fans (walkinthefloor) for this award. I've never been the reason someone joins CoachT and completely flames out in his/her/its very first post. I feel sooooo special...I knew all my years of commenting on this board in my every waking moment would finally pay off. I feel complete now.... sniff, sniff. You like me...you really like me!" all of that was funny i admit but still yall act like one of the CW's fans have ran their mouth when really it has been you!!! You don't have a clue...

BUD LIGHT SALUTES..... MR. FIRST POST THREAD FLAME MAN! Yes, only you can start your account and make a completely worthless first post in the form of a flame. Yeah, that's right, you've probably been lurking on this site for quite some time now and chose this thread to rear your ugly head and prove why you should have just kept lurking. Only someone with as much wit and gusto as yourself could have dazzled us all with that tidbit of completely useless and uncalled for stupidity! Only one with as much blinding intellect, such as yourself, could have flamed this thread AND used horrible grammar and spelling ALL IN HIS FIRST POST! So raise your glasses high and honor another hero...... MR. FIRST POST THREAD FLAME MAN!!! solid work....

This is a new TSSAA rule....no two teams from the same district will play in the first round unless one district has 5 playoffs teams in the same quadrant. Since there aren't 5 3A teams in your district, Westview and Milan will never play each other in the first round.

That's ok rcombs...I say let him talk cause we know what'll likely happen and who'll likely make it happen.

Westview won't play Milan regardless of seed because teams from the same district will not play each other in the first round.

I must read it different that you - acccording to the TSSAA website we have 5 and you have 4. At least that is way I think I see it. Tell me if I wrong on stats. You are exactly right...I was too lazy to look it up, I was going by an article in the Jackson Sun a week or so ago but things have changed since then. Looks like the only way Camden gets #1 seed straight up is if they 1. beat Creekwood and 2. Crockett Co beats you guys. If we both lose it will go to the next tie breaker and that is opponents total # of wins and that could change alot with 2 games left for most everyone. See Bulldog now you can root for the Lions with a clear conscience since Milan controls their own destiny. I knew I'd find a way to pull you over to the Lion's side of the fence in this one.
