Then it might be a different story. Can't see that happening in reality. Just want to give credit for these two teams that are willing to schedule each other in short notice, when they both have every right not to do so. To both Coach Puckett and Coach Kirby, thank you letting these players have the opportunity to play their 10 full regular season games. Lots and lots of work and hours are put in from January-August for these 11/13 weeks for these teams.

As long as you don’t put Westview over the loser of Haywood/Covington in next weeks poll, I’m okay with it!

Agreed

If you ask me who has the advantage in a potential 2nd round game between Huntingdon/JCM, I'll go with JCM for those reasons (in bold) why. We all know what Huntingdon is going to do, it's not a secret. Just hope that Eubanks has the stamina to hold on. But JCM can go back and work on a few things. Now, I'm not going to sit there and say JCM is a heavy favorite or an automatic win at Peabody, they have their work cut out for them. JCM should've lost last week to North Side. Now, since Huntingdon defeated them, they can see their flaws and work on them (should be doing that while they're winning anyway). JCM is a little weak at QB, especially velocity and whip. So they need to find ways to move the pocket and get him out. I thought both defenses played very well last night, but Huntingdon did find a way to get 5 turnovers last night.

This game is a little odd. First, I thought both defenses played well. I'm sure JCM (and many other teams) will accept allowing 21 points to Huntingdon. For Huntingdon, they better hope Eubanks is not running out of fuel. I can see why he left a game weeks ago. I believe Huntingdon got away from what they did in the third quarter for a little bit, but also credit for JCM to getting crucial stops in that quarter. When it comes to JCM offense, I can't sit there and blame turnovers on coaching. But, calling two timeouts in the first half because they couldn't get the play in and get the players set, is due to coaching/play calling anticipation. While I do believe the play clock was a little bit faster than what I'm used to at the High School level, JCM needs to do a better job at that. As a result, they weren't able to call timeouts late in the first half. I do think the playing calling was a little suspect. The route tree needs to be more one and one routes, and be more creative in situations, and I think JCM will be fine. JCM is not beating anyone in the playoffs giving the ball away 4-5 times. Huntingdon's secondary played better than what I expected. With that being said, I do think JCM will be in a much better situation than Huntingdon in the playoffs. We all know that will happen for the Mustangs offensively, while JCM can go back to the drawing board and work on situations to improve from. It's safe to say JCM won't turn the ball over 4-5 times again and won't fall for an encroachment when Huntingdon shifts their offensive line. JCM is also in the driving seat to still win region if they win out, via tiebreaker, and Milan beating Riverside at the end. To this day, I cannot sit there and say Huntingdon is the better team in terms of talent.

Oh trust me, nothing has changed haha. I drove by it earlier this week.

I'm going to say if that I will disagree with you if I am the TSSAA. Put all of Region 7 teams inside Region 8 (exclude Halls). Halls should be paired with Union City, Milan, Peabody, and Gibson County, and create that as Region 7. Region 6 should be Adamsville, JCM, Huntingdon, Scotts Hill, and Riverside.

I’ll do it but it’ll take me some time with 2A. I usually try to make sure I get west of I-65 to the TN River covered, and then start with the West TN regions.

Pearl Cohn should do everyone a favor and stay at 2A or move up one classification to 3A. Just stay there… No need to see them again in 4A

Poor guy just devalued the scrimmage win that he can’t stop talking about.

I mean, if Huntingdon is playing Georgia, you will find a way to say the Mustangs are two TD's better than them. But I understand your post!

If schools/and game officials have sent complaints and will continue (unless they fix it) to do so to the TSSAA, then they probably have a right to void it. JCM/JMCSS is renting that place out, so they can go to another school (likely Liberty) to solve those issues.

Not a JCM poster so I'm not in the y'all consideration haha. Just glad to see another high school program in Jackson (other than North Side) to have some form of success. I hate how everything has happened in Jackson recently with the other schools to get to this point. I think JCM will be fine and I hope they have a great finish to the remainder of the season. I will say, I'm not sure if they're going to be able to host a playoff game. I'm hearing complaints from opposing teams because that Roth Rock Stadium is a horrible stadium that doesn't meet the "2024 standards" for a HS football game when it comes to handling the opposing team/game officials.

If JCM can match Huntingdon from a physicality standpoint, I can see them winning. Cougars have the best WR in the region in my opinion. It'll be interesting. Lots of unknowns, but I'm not going to assume and make predictions. Should be a good crowd.

The homer showed, and that's fine. I appreciate the confidence. I was skeptical or doubtful on Smith because he played at USJ and played in a class/region that's weak (and still is). The competition on Friday isn't the best. What changed my mind was how he dominated at camps when he was a high schooler, which helped his recruiting and his star rating/ranking. His footwork and hand explosion are tough to beat. I lived close to Trey and his childhood home. Maybe 1.5 Miles or so. My neighborhood, which is a hilly neighborhood, had fresh black pavement on our streets. Add that with about 93 temperatures with humidity in June when he was home from Knoxville. Trey rode his bike (and he purposely kept his buttocks on the seat) in my neighborhood. Days later, he was in my neighborhood again, same temperatures/weather, but this time he was joking/walking with fully UT sweats. I was sold. Not saying that Pearson has to do those things, but the commitment Trey has to the game and to his body will be a hard task for anyone to accomplish. Let's make sure Pearson gets some offers/Mr. Football considerations before we go there.

If Mosley is healthy? Yes. JCS can get 40 on Huntingdon, which will be a problem for the Mustangs because they can't play shootout ball.

Yes, I am available to update you. Rumor is Huntingdon and TCA could very well play each other for a home and home series in the 2025/26 seasons. I had dinner with the referee (or white hat) for the Riverside/TCA game on Monday night, and this is what he told me. During halftime, one of the TCA assistant coaches pulled out his cellphone and looked up scores of games throughout West Tennessee. He noticed Huntingdon was struggling with Milan. He informed Coach Bowling that Huntingdon was losing. When both teams returned to the field, he, Bowling, informed the referee to tell Coach Frost that Huntingdon was losing to Milan. The referee did what he was told. Forst told the referee to tell Bowling there's a book that Coach Comer is selling for $19.99 (plus shipping and handling). The book is called "How to beat Huntingdon." Frost said that is an easy book to read, he reads the book every November. Doesn't read the book during September or October because he doesn't want to get burned out, but he does read the book every November. Frost wanted Bowling to know does he want to have that book? Turner over at JCM ordered the book last week and should be delivered to his house tomorrow (Friday). Bowling doesn't have the book but purchased the book after the game. So, the book should be delivered to his house within the next week or so. That's what happened. The referee did what he was told, and no issues happened throughout the remainder of the game.

They have usually done that

We're going to find out how good JCM is this week. On the road to North Side this week. The Indians have a bye next week so they won't overlook JCM like Milan did. JCM is not overlooking due to being a city rivalry. I do like JCM's offense, I believe they are pretty unpredictable and come at you with different formations. They can ground and pound the opposing defense, but also have the ability to throw the ball downfield effectively. Defensively they're a solid group. They tackle well and overall a very solid group that's discipline. Secondary maybe a little bit too aggressive, so they may have a pass interference foul here and there. North Side will have the best player in Smith, but they need to do a better job at getting other players going. I know JCM was closed for several years, but North Side has completely owned this rivalry between the two.

He can’t. Just posting for the heck to be posting

They did signals in the third quarter. This is just a stupid thread.

Kind of odd. I watched film on them in the first half and they (RHS coaching staff) were doing signals from the sidelines in the first half. So, you're wrong.

Then prove it.

They were not. Get that mess out of here.

We've all heard this story before.
