But the two athletes that Peabody got from North Side are exceptional but both needs tons and I means tons of reps. Potential is high, and I mean high, but they need reps, and I mean reps.

I heard Peabody is getting a new transfer from Hardin County lol

A good teacher depends on two things. First, people can sit there and say that a good teacher focuses on the development of a student from the time when he/she enters the classroom, to the time when he/she leaves the classroom. The other deciding factor that determines a good teacher is the test scores. Needless to say, students that has good test scores make up a good teacher. A students grown will determine how good a teacher is. Regardless, statistics is the answer. Want to find out whether if a teacher is good or not, look at the test scores. Nothing “character” determines a good teacher to a bad teacher.

I didn't think Jesse Powell was ready to be a head coach at North Side, but he was just plays away from a semi-final appearance in his first season. Also didn't think Scott Frost would be the right guy that Riverside, but look at what he has done for the Panthers in the last two seasons. Not trying to bash you, but some of the guys that I've said "weren't ready" or "this move will not work out" have proved me wrong. I'm actually anxious to see what Wallace can bring in Martin. Going deep in the playoffs? Doubt. A bunch of excitement in Martin? Heck yeah

I don’t know what to expect from this game. I like North Side at home, but my biased will showed (just like Springfield’s biased shows). Truth is, we’re in the 3rd round, and everybody will root for their team without doing homework. However, if Springfield plays the way they played against South Side, they won’t win. If Springfield plays their game, they have a legitimate chance to win, but they can’t give North Side any chances like Montgomery Central did. I can careless about what happened between North Side and South Side. At the end of the day the Indians won 26-7, and could’ve went into halftime leading the game if it wasn’t for a big play which was called back to holding. The teams that are remaining are good football teams, whoever wins will now move into the category of a “great” football team.

No way the game is being changed locations.

North Side grad buddy! I just did that comment to be sarcastic in a way. No way North Side is in a "rough" area of Jackson.

This game will be at North Side. Having the game at Jackson Christian is the last option North Side should consider. Also, South Side uses strictly grass. No conditioner, no seeds, just grass like we have in our backyards. Besides, name me a field that is in perfect condition in the third week of November? I’ll wait.

North Side is in a rough area? What?

North Side wins this game and will now host Springfield. Interception at the end sealed the deal for the Indians! Congratulations to Jesse Powell's team, they're now 8-4 with three of the 4 losses are playing next week. North Side is as battle tested as anyone in the state.

Catlett ran off a “good” coach in Hodum? Yes, Chester County won that district back in 2014 I believe, but had no chance in beating North Side that year. Also, they struggled since. Don’t get me wrong he took TCA to state with Jabriel Washington, but they were also were 5-5 in the regular season I believe. I like Hodum as a person though.

Yeah, South Side is good with Eric Latham. Without him, they’re having a tough time finding their identity. Yes they beat Liberty and Humboldt with Latham on the sidelines, but also scored 7 against North Side. They might win on Friday, but after that, who knows.

Agree, but I am curious to see what Humboldt, Westview, Lexington, and Fayette Ware looks like in 3 years. In addition, no one is giving credit to the turnaround that Coach Frost and Coach Reeder are doing. Riverside is a good team with an exceptional defense and South Side is a good team with Eric Latham. Can’t forget about those two. Also, Camden seems to improved a lot from last year.

I understand that West Tennessee is somewhat down. Adamsville and Lexington didn't have the season they were hoping. Humboldt needs to be a team that wins 8+ games in a season. Crockett is somewhat down to years past. However, MUS, Fayette Academy, Lausanne, Christian Brothers, Houston, Whitehaven, Germantown, Henry County, Dyersburg, Haywood, Covington, Peabody, Lake County, and Huntingdon are all legitimate threats to make it to Cookeville.

I'm actually going to disagree with this, and for a few reasons. First, we have 21 counties, 8 of those counties have only one school (Lake, Crockett, Chester, Haywood, Hardin, Decatur, Henry, and Benton). With that being said, and despite there being tons of schools and those education academies in Memphis, we still don't have the quantity amount of schools as Middle and East Tennessee does. Also, look at the playoff brackets and you'll notice a few things. In 1A, I see Hancock with a 2 seed at Region 1 with a 3-7 record. Those 3 wins are over Cosby, Unaka, and Jellico (combined record of 6-23). Jellico, Sale Creek, South Fulton, and Hancock County are the 3 teams in 1A that are in the playoffs with 3 wins or fewer, three of those four teams are of those are in Middle and East Tennessee. *SF combined opponent record over Humboldt, Gleason, and Dresden is 7-23* Same situation in 2A where Bledsoe County and Marion County are in the playoffs, with 3 wins or fewer. Bledsoe County wins are Tellico Plains, Grundy County, and Polk County (combined opponent record of 9-21). Marion County has three wins as well, Bledsoe County, Tellico Plains, and Coalfield, (combined opponent record of 11-19). 3A, Melrose is the only team in West Tennessee that is in the playoffs with a sub .500 record. Melrose is 4-6. However, they're 10 Middle and East Tennessee teams in 3A that are in with a .500 record. The only argument you can make is that out of the Melrose wins, two of them are winless and the other 2 only have 1 win. However, they're 4-6, they finished 4th in their region, so they're in the playoffs. But Melrose is the only West Tennessee team that is in with a sub .500 record. 4A is different because the Memphis 4A region is awful. Memphis East is awful, Fayette Ware is not good, Craigmont is not good as well. You can add Chester County (R6) in there as well. However, Hardin County got robbed of a huge call against South Side that ended up costing them that game. If Hardin County won at South Side, they're the 2 seed and South Side will be 3. Right now, in my opinion, Hardin County is the best 3 seed in 4A. North Side is 6-4, but two of those losses are to teams that finished 10-0. South Side is good, but they lost Latham and it's hurting them. Haywood is still dangerous. Dyersburg got 4 running backs that can all rush for 100+ yards each in a game. In 5A, it's Henry County and Henry County only. 6A is all Memphis schools which will be Germantown, Whitehaven, and Cordova. That's all.

You can’t be suspended if you ran out on the field and didn’t get ejected. Why suspended a player if he didn’t get ejected?

I said a few years ago I won’t consider Lexington a legitimate threat if they continue to run that offense. 2-8 and not making the playoffs in a region that includes Chester County (a bad football team) and Liberty (a bad football team) is embarrassing. I guess not making the playoffs is evident that there needs to be a coaching change at Lexington. Now they’re one of two schools (so far) in West Tennessee that I expect a coaching change.

Lexington 2-8 is an eye opener. I had this team going 5-5, but 2-8 is not Lexington football. I don’t think they have the athletes as they did 2-3 years ago, but they have the players to win more than 2 games.

If I am not mistaken, we had 0,1, and 2 win 5A teams make the playoffs while there was 4-5-6 win 1A and 2A that missed the playoffs. I wouldn't mind the Super 32, but no team that has fewer than 4 wins should make the playoffs, regardless of classification.

Hayes Holt scored a touchdown in the second quarter. That drive had no penalties against Dyersburg. Thought D-Burg was good, but I can tell they weren't great tonight. I guess you can say I watched the Trojans on a bad night.

Really have been impressed with Dyersburg all year. Not just beating their opponents, but the domination is what has impressed me. Trojans has a +197 point differential. I know Haywood's schedule is tough, but Dyersburg opponents they have played so far, has only a combined 4 wins. I'm not trying to be that guy. I know Brighton played on Black Friday last season, but they have sucked it up so far this year. I know Obion Central is region, therefore you have to play. However, Haywood is an impressive win though and that is good to see! I'm curious to see how the Trojans do against a hot North Side team. I believe Dyersburg will win, but I don't think they'll win by 30+. Needless to say, I believe Dyersburg is the first team in West Tennessee to officially clinch a playoff spot last week.

Trinity finds a way win this game, 27-20. I say that because I believe a lot of people are somewhat underestimating Fayette Academy. The Vikings have a legit chance to represent their D-2 class and make it to Cookeville. That FA team is an experience group of kids that will win games and be competitive in their playoff games when November rolls. They just beat Trinity last week, not because they are by far the better team, but they beat them because someone has to win and someone has to lose. My head says A'ville, but my heart says TCA for some reason. I think they can win in Adamsville this week.

Covington 35-7. The Bobcats aren't a bad team, but they're small team in size. McNairy's running back isn't shabby though.

North Side is in the same situation as Liberty. I can think of only one situation.

Agree into a certain extent with you. I don't know what to expect from Eric Jones in year two, I don't. However, he has my full support. Yes, that school system has failed miserably at a lot of things, but running off administration and football coaches have to be at the top of the totem pole, I wonder why? This school system will not support athletics, that's evident. These athletes work continuously and put in a lot of hours to play for their school, and they don't get any "award" for their hard work. I would like to see $10 Million each being poured into all three public schools just for athletics, and a few for fine arts. That's just my opinion. I know academics definitely outweigh athletics, but the school system is throwing all the money into academics, and it's not getting them anywhere in terms of test grades. It's time to go into a different route, which is something they will never do.
