That is absolutely great to hear. Hope everything goes well for him moving forward. Thanks for that update.

Blackman's biggest game of the year is obviously Oakland. Can't imagine the coaches allowing them to look down the road though. At 6A, every game is big.

Grew up near that area. Troll is a good reference.

Not passing judgement ... Blackman is a really good squad. This is going to be a tough one. I'll be shocked is they don't put up 400+ running yards against MJ.

MJ wasn't going to make the playoffs with him on the field ... now they are reaching for a winning season.

44-7 ... pitiful showing for last years 2A championship. For the record, you are like hemorrhoids and/or warts ... don't know really why you keep showing up, just wish you would go away. You should probably concentrate more on TCA ... 28-21.

I will be stunned if the gold ball doesn't land in West TN. Too many big lineman over there this year with Mitchell, Adamsville, TCA, and Huntingdon. Unless they kill each other in the semi's, one of them should handle business this year.

Broken Collarbone ... he's out for awhile. I heard that he had to have surgery. Good kid/family, hope for a speedy recovery.

If there was a Tennessee Gameday Crew for HS football, this would be the game this week. Good squads, great game coming up. Home team always gets 3 points for the home field advantage (Vegas Odds). I'll go with HC 30-27 ... both have punishing running games.

First trip to TC this Friday. Any chance they will grill up some Bologna? Can't beat the $3 sandwich I got in Possum Town last week.

Back to back 30+ point loses for the Bears.

Fun one to watch. Power rankings have them number 1 ... 2 in the state. Preview of what we'll see in Cookeville: 9 HENRY COUNTY 5A 2 0 0 125.27 138.28 17 RIDGEWAY 5A 0 1 0 50.00 134.13

Blackman is a punishing running squad. MJ's line hasn't seen this level regardless of the QB status. Blackman wins by 30+.

Heard a lot about this one ... looking forward to see how it turns out.

Here's the local newspaper article about the game: http://www.johnsoncitypress.com/article/110832/toppers-crush-crockett

Suddenly the 9/20 game between Wilson Central/MJ becomes a lot more important ....

Mighty Rebs bounce back next week against Lake County. 2 hour trip for basically a fbs vs fcs squad. This will put Mckenzie back on track.

Impressive. There will be some shakeups in the AP standings this coming week. I see Huntingdon moving up to #2 now: CLASS 2A Record / Pts / Prv 1. Grace Christian (12) / 2-0 / 146 / 1 2. Adamsville (3) / 2-0 / 137 / 2 3. Marion County / 2-0 / 114 / 3 4. Huntingdon / 2-0 / 108 / 5 5. Trousdale County / 2-0 / 85 / 7 6. Oneida / 2-0 / 64 / 10 7. Boyd Buchanan / 1-1 / 58 / 4 8. Peabody / 1-1 / 27 / 6 9. Trinity Christian Aca. / 2-0 / 26 / NR 10. Goodpasture / 1-1 / 23 / 8

Blackman's coming to MJ next week ... wow, when's the last time MJ lost back-to-back games by 30+? Blackman is the real deal ... MJ doesn't have a chance. Not making adjustments like they need to, including removing some starters that shouldn't be starting in the first place. Hate to see a good squad spiral out of any playoff contention.

49 yards ... very impressive. Gold Ball is going through West TN this year. Congrats.

After next weekend against Blackman they will be. Blackman is for real. It'll be 2 weeks in a row MJ loses by 30+.

Couldn't agree more. Standing on the sideline with 120 players compared to 35 is a no brainer with D1 schools offering scholarships to both. Don't know why in the depth chart anyone past #50 at MJHS stays on the squad.

Lebanon's first string is strong but no depth. I was at the MJ game and they were toe-to-toe until the rotations started. Haffner is a quality QB that will be strong as this squad develops.

Gotta call you on this one ... Pat Summitt is from Cheatham County, born in Henrietta, TN. HS in Ashland City, TN. Clarksville is a far stretch to claim the wizard of women's bball.

You are correct ... Webb has a bye this week. CAK plays Webb next week. Will be a good game.
