Clarksville is the biggest wildcard of this playoff. They have home field advantage all the way through the third round. Yes their schedule was week but they are a solid team all around. They really don’t have any glaring weaknesses to be taken advantage of. And they are set up to grow through the playoffs as their opponents get progressively better each week. Collierville / Houston / Germantown / Brentwood / Finals Not that I expect them to make it through this Gauntlet. But I wouldn’t be surprised if they make it to Germantown at home. And if they can pull that off, then they will at least be ready to compete with Brentwood.

Clarksville leads 31-3 at the half.

I hope this is a good game... Clarksville has not had to play 4 quarters of football yet this year. Coach Tomlinson has the Cougars moving in the right direction and I expect these two teams will be battling for the region for years to come. But I think Clarksville wins this one 42-14.

Good Call 42-12 win for the Cougars. But I expect next week to be a similar score against DC.

Dickson County 2-2 host Kirkwood 4-4. This should be be an interesting game. May even be for 2nd place in the region. I’m betting on a high scoring game. Dickson 42 - 35 Kirkwood

Springfield is a well coached, young team that has lost too, two really good squads on the road. I think they take care of business against Station Camp at home. Springfield 28 - 14 Station Camp

This will be one of the better games of the week. It will be the 100th meeting between these two teams. Clarksville will have the Home Field advantage and may be the better team, led by a very strong O-line. But Springfield always plays Clarksville hard, and they have the momentum of winning the last 4 meetings. Coach Shelby is 3 and 6 against the jackets since he's been at CHS, and this is most likely seen as a must win game for a team that is looking to be seen as a legitimate program. Clarksville's field is in the best shape I have ever seen it in, and Friday looks to be a hot one with a high of 99. I recommend Dock 17 restaurant for Jacket's fans looking to grab dinner near-by.

Clarksville actually got it right by convincing their schools to play up to 6A and creating an all city region. Now instead of traveling all around the mid-state and playing schools that we could careless about, we are playing games that seem to mean a lot more because of the cross town rivalries. And if we are honest there is very little difference between 4A/5A/6A. Everyone doesn't need a trophy from the state, Now our kids are playing for bragging rights in their home town.

Same to you.

And here I thought we were just having some fun...but then you had to go and hurt my feelings...now the only thing salty are my tears...

That’s the plan.

How about Clarksville over Cane Ridge? They have a lot of momentum....They did it last year....And I really think Clarksville matches up good against their style of play.
