Lol why is this a big deal it’s part of the game? And here you are having a conniption over it….

Sounds like he acknowledged they were there and wanted to share or if anyone else noticed.

Hope you get better from here on out because the top 5 in 5a come seasons end, will be 100x better than Central.

Still a long way to go. I’m not gonna let this one game in a short week coming out of labor day discourage the rest of the season for me. Now if they start playing bad in a few games stretch then I’ll be concerned.

After giving a lot of praise to the Jackets, Green Hills the week prior was more impressive than Springfield. Still a good team but very beatable.

Jackets worse game of the season and still won by 25.

Not playing their best ball on defense tonight. Getting pushed around up front. 21-10. 30 sec till half

Nope. This flexbone or wishbone or chicken bone offense giving them fits.

So far it’s a crappy 1st qt for the Jackets. 

Safe travels Jacket faithful. Let’s go get this dub.

Rossville must be BAD

I honestly don’t know much. Was lazy by looking at their previous matchups and scores.

The region steps outside this week. Possibly a few close games.

Henry Co 17 
Brentwood 10                   
 

Springfield 41           
Wilson Cent. 0               
 

NE 29          
Rossview 17                 
 

Portland 28         
White House 20                 
 

Kenwood 27            
West Creek 22                
 

NW 21             
Whites Creek 22

If we are fully loaded , it will take more than their band playing to distract us IMHO 

Bingo

I would expect their band to try and help out the team again this year. I expect the Jackets to be ready and dialed in.

A lot of bands do that, Gallatin does it all game. Seems disrespectful but then again I’m not sure if it’s just become more common in today’s game. Idk I wasn’t a nerd band member, not my forte.

I only remember they were the only band in a few years that has. I do remember Gallatin doing it some as well. Pearl Cohn has done it. But it wasn’t the reason the Jackets lost to WC last yr.

I remember this game last year was so frustrating. Both defensive units played well.  Jackets did have players out due to covid but still had chances. Jackets offense struggled. Our kicker really struggled missing an extra pt and missing 3 fgs. Their band played most of the time we were on offense. Revenge 

Winners

Portland 42-7

Springfield  50-14

HC  52-20

Jackets 41-0

Unfortunately, so much wasted talent across the mid tn area due to bad parenting/coaching/etc etc… 

 

but hey congrats to the Jackets. Tbh not sure I’ve seen a better start for a 5a team. Knox West has been pretty solid with their results as well.

I agree on the wasted talent. With open enrollment, so I heard, in metro im sure most of the best talent flocks to certain schools imo. 
 

Im impressed with Jackets start so far. Defense looks to be as strong or stronger than last year to this point. Offense looks to be more exciting with a bunch of experienced play makers. I expected to start 3-0 but wasn’t expecting to drill NE like that. Our biggest test comes at the end of the month against Henry Co and Beech back to back. HC is more important but I take the Beech game serious as well. Jackets have Wilson Central next wk and I expect payback with a 30+ pt win.

NE #22 always impresses me with his play. watched him play last year as a sophomore at their place and sat next to some of his family in the grass seemed like nice folks. It’s a shame with his ability and NE size across the field they aren’t any better. With halfway better blocking #22 could be all state at RB

 

I agree on 22. He showed glimpses of  quickness and speed lastnight. Jackets defense did a good job of keeping him from breaking big runs, he was certainly capable of.

I noticed NE players weren’t as cocky after kickoff. Jackets looked good tonight.

NE has athletes but Jackets dominating

That 12’ northeast team was stacked with Jalen Reeves-Maybin leading the way.

I went to that 12 game. Maybin was unstoppable 

This will be the 5th time the Jackets have faced NE while Dustin has been HC. Took it under the chin first two seasons but looking for 3 in a row in the win column tonight against the Eagles.        
 

12 Lost 48-13        
13 Lost 57-20           
14 Won 34-15             
21 Won 34-22

Region play begins! My predictions.

Northwest 1-1 @ Portland 1-1           
42-13 Panthers  
 

Northeast 2-0  @  Springfield 2-0     
31-10 Jackets     
 

Henry Co 1-1  @  Kenwood 1-1        
49-0 Patriots
 

The Jackets were missing a few starters in this game last yr If I remember correctly. Due to covid.

I pick 34-10 Yellow Jackets

Im going 31-10 Jackets.            
 

Clarksville vs Springfield 
12      L 23-21   away
13      L 35-0    home
14      L 23-7    away
15      L 21-17   home 
16     W48-28  away
17     W34-14   home
18     L 38-21   away
19     W21-15   home
21     W27-10   away        
22     W34-0     home

Dustin is 5-5 against them. Clarksville forfeited their win in 2015 but I don’t count it bc Jackets lost. They didn’t play in 2020. 5-1 in last 5 games isn’t  bad.

100% I would like to see #9 get some carries too. He looked good as a freshman last year and I don’t think he ran it much, if any, last game.

Agreed
