You just made my point, if you can afford to not go to Humboldt City Schools you don't go there. Like BPM just posted a few posts earlier Humboldt has a lot bigger issues than hiring a football coach. I was also there last year and it was crazy to say the least. I did not allow my two younger sons (7 and 2 at the time) to even go because of the problems they have had in the past with security at athletic events. All you have to do is check out Windy City Road heading out of Humboldt and into Jackson every school day to see how many families are choosing to send their kids to private schools in Jackson. It is an absolute traffic jam between 7:30-8:00 and 2:45-3:15.

Not to sound bad or anything, but the people that have bought 250k to 500k houses in Medina will not have their kids go to school with the students at Humboldt. They will continue to do everything in their power to make sure that the Humboldt kids do not go to South Gibson. I know it is not a popular thing to say, but that is the reality. Take it as you want, but that is the facts.

It is an incredible watch if you love high school football in West Tennessee. Gregg Hammond did an outstanding job and the Trenton community is so blessed to have a person like Coach Jacobs leading our youth. It is definitely worth the 2 hours to watch this.

I have already given you the game plan. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1493818-9-old-school-offenses-we-want-to-see-make-a-comeback The coaching staff at Peabody are teaching our guys some history of football. You should check out the history of our program from the documentary that was done a few years ago. It is awesome!!

And leave that poor Mathis guy alone, he is a good one. We are glad he has been a big part of our success.

I think it will be the spread, veer, or maybe the old Emory and Henry offense. Maybe Coach Jacobs will change every series. As a poster said earlier, Peabody is playing on borrowed time so they should have some fun and run every type of offense in the history of football.

If your Riverside, what do you prepare for? The wing-T or the spread. We had some success with the spread the first game early. We turned it over a ton. At least the Peabody coaches know what Riversides offense will be like. The same can not be said of Riverside. As long as the coaches have been coaching Peabody they have ALWAYS run the spread, until last Friday. The defensive coaches at Riverside are going to have a LONG week preparing.

Changed QB a few weeks after we played you guys the first time. Just watch the last game to find out about the offense they ran. I figure they will be back to the spread considering the coaches have ran the spread every game they have coached except for one.

Please let the Loretto team look past Peabody. Loretto has all the pressure on them, undefeated season. Best team they have had in awhile. This year’s Peabody team is the worst team they have had in at least 15 years. I wouldn’t be surprised if it is a tight game in the 4th quarter though . How will the Loretto players react? They are supposed to destroy Peabody, I am sure everyone they have talked to have reiterated that all week. Every year there is a major upset early in the playoffs because the players are in shock that their opponent just didn’t lay down when they showed up. Since Loretto last won a playoff game, our head coach has gone 31-6 (4 state titles) just in playoff games that he was either the D-coordinator or head coach. Please I beg you to overlook the Golden Tide and their coaching staff. They are not what they have been, but I guarantee you that when we had the second longest winning streak in the entire nation we never disrespected an opponent and overlooked them especially during the playoffs. For anyone to post something about a matchup that is in the future during the playoffs shows that they haven’t won much and usually that comes to bite them in the rear end. Karma comes tough this time of year.

You are correct. Senior night was real quick last week. Only 6 seniors, 1 has been hurt all year and didn't play a down all year. That is why we are struggling so bad this year. We had 24 seniors last year. Only Meadows and the kicker saw meaningful playing time last year. Even the backups from last year graduated. We have improved a lot this year, and the future will be better. For a small school to be in the state championship mix every year for 10 years is incredible. I am glad I had a front row seat to it all.

^^^ This ^^ No words to respond.

All I am saying, in a one game situation Coach Jacobs and Coach Vowell can come up with something defensively to keep them in the ballgame and having an offense that does not turn the ball over can make things really interesting. I have seen many times a region champion playing at home in the first round and enter the fourth quarter in a tight game when they have heard all week how they should destroy the 4 seed and next thing you know their season ends.

With Peabody changing QB1 this week, you never know. They still have Coach Jacobs and the mad scientist Coach Tab. I wouldn't put nothing past the Golden Tide. Everyone assumes they will be the 4 seed, last time I checked Milan and Huntingdon still have to play and beat Peabody. The only loss they have in region is against Riverside. I know it will be a tall task to even keep it close against those teams, but I have been saying all year the only thing this team needs is some positives going there way and who knows the change at QB1 might just be it.

I do agree, we will be back very soon. I honestly feel that the next four games are winnable games for us. If we start gaining some confidence watch out!

When you don't thank your teammates that created the holes for you to gain that award I personally think it says a lot about your character. Those guys are the guys that busted their tales and the cream rises to the top. Those are the guys that have continued to work hard and are working their butts off in college when they have faced adversity. At the college level everybody is good, what can you do to separate yourself from the other guy that also is a stud athlete.
