Nothing warms this lifelong Patriot's soul like beating Clarksville High AT ANYTHING! and nothing hurts like losing to them. I still haven't recovered from the 2009 game and suffer good and bad flashbacks of athletic and extra curricular contests dating from the late 70s. I don't see the Big Red letting me down this week. The Wildcats will get SWARMED!!!!!

Hey Haven, This list isn't racist- it's regionist. one team west of Davidson County. dhstennis, Liberty is good and should be on any list of top teams to date- but be thankful they played Henry County when they did.

I agree with od enthusiasm for B-ball has slipped in recent years, but some of us diehards still show up.Glad to have you visit. Come say hi, I'm the disgusted looking guy sitting under the press box.

Is it just me or does it feel weird not being in Cookeville right now? On my way to watch Pats B-ball earlier than I hoped.

True. I was trying to be diplomatic

I hope any changes to our base offensive occurs earlier than they did this season.

On tape Hillsboro looks like the better team. And if they get physical with West the way Henry County did last year, it could be a long night for the team from East TN. Go Burros keep that gold ball West of Antioch.

James Counce Sr running a spread offense, not in this lifetime.

Seems like Ridgeway spent all their bullets against Henry County. Not the first team to do that against the Patriots in recent years.

Headed at the door after this. Henry County by 10. Thanks coach Sutton for the video gift. It pissed them off and made them more determined.

I'posted them on the previous page

Don't forget about the two costly West fumbles late in the closing minutes of the game.

If you are using the standard definition of an underdog like the first one in my American Heritage dictionary "One that is expected to lose a contest or struggle" that's not our Patriots. The second definition "one that is at a disadvantage" does apply because we have to play them in their city. That's all the quarter I'm willing to give. I know the players and coaches feel the same way and so should every Big Red fan. I too want to apologize for the few uncouth fans. I know they exist and the places they stand. I was embarrassed a couple of years ago by their behavior and I stopped going near them before, during & after games.

the ridgeway site's great- it shows both teams highlights

So have the Patriots

We are not the underdog against Ridgeway. Only the lower seeded team due to losing a one score contest in September. We are the reigning 5A champs until we ain't! To be the man, you have to beat the man when it counts.

Call it like I see it homes. On second thought- he just did a couple of thug things to a player on the ground.

Agree with you about that #44, he was a beast wounded or not. #8 was tough too, he kept getting up after some hard hits. I apologize for getting the number wrong earlier That #9 was a thug, he talked smack all night, slapped and kicked our TE while he was on the ground in the 4th qtr.

Who's going to GT #5 or #7

no wonder he left. I think Wade Houston had better digs. I know Buzz Peterson did.

I know me & the other boys from the Bottom would be up for a Haven/HC home & home.

Good luck Jackets. Go show them how we roll in 10AAA. Regardless of their record, through week 9 Hillsboro's opponents had worst won/loss record in 5A at 35/55.

Save me a little gumbo olddevil. Gonna try to get there as fast as possible. The Big Red Rolls by 2 scores.

Thanks for replying to this guy from a Henry County fan.
