Jackson County has showed some spirit so far this season looking at the scores.  Community looks to be pretty decent this year if they can keep finding a way to feed #1 the ball.  i think this will be the biggest test for both teams so far this season.   

Way too close to call.

So, the season opener for these two teams is a rivalry in the area.  Which team comes out on top?

Anyone heard anything out of Jackson County?  How are they looking going into this season?

I think the District looks pretty strong outside of Pickett.   JC is hitting the ball well and as long as they continue to pitch well they should take the district.

Will be interesting to see how they do against Livingston tomorrow and Friday.

Good luck to all the players and coaches.  Hope for an injury free game.   I will not be able to attend tonight, heading out West.   Someone there keep us updated please!  Have a safe weekend.

So would you say that Jackson co is better than sequatchie county? I have heard comparisons to Grundy with the blue devils.

I think JC defense is better than Dunlap, offensively similar.   I will say that I have not seen a ST like JC in a long time.  They do not have a great return but they get after the block opportunities and play solid in coverage.  

Don't count out their K/P either, he is having a great year.

Yea the former number 3 season is over. They were notlucky enough to play team like JC in the 1st round but yall are still welcome to play number 3 in the spring if yall want

Why would they be lucky to play JC?   You act like this is a scrub game.  JC is in the playoffs because they earned it, same as any other team.   You never count a team out or overlook an opponent.   

I hope the JC team does read all this, because you MC fans are adding fuel to a fire MC may not be able to put out.

I watched you guys play Dunlap. I agree with a lot that has been said, except that this will be a blowout.

if it doesn't get way out it hand it's because Ross chose for it not too. I just took another look at your schedule. Watertown shutting you out and several other teams holding you to1 score doesn't bode well for you.

Well, what you may also not know is that the starting QB and RB, who also play DB, were taken out during the Upperman game.  (Which JC was winning until then).   They didn't get back until Gordonsville.   Watertown was playing for a shot at the playoffs on Senior night, at their last home game.   This is tough for any team to overcome, not just JC vs Watertown.

If you are the QB please make sure and talk to us before Friday. You might not be able to type by Saturday. Once more. I am not a Marion fan, but this won't be close. Marion has played a soft schedule, but they have played 7 or 8 teams better than Jackson County this season.

Man, everyone is really riding MC's jock strap.   I have been fortunate enough to see a lot of 2A football this year.   Got to watch Marion and Jackson Co.   It is going to be a tougher match-up than anyone on here is predicting.  Can it get out of hand?  Absolutely.   Will it?  I am not sure.

I am not naive enough to say we will hold on to Ross long term, but I wouldn't think he would leave for a program like franklin co. He can and will eventually do way better than theirs. Hopefully he falls in love with Marion county though. He turned down a way higher paying gig to take this one so I am not sure it is all about money either. Maybe eventually it will be.

 

Back to the game, if Jackson county was hoping Marion would overlook them it sounds as though they have messed that up. Seems like lots of trash talking on social media from what I have been told. On a brighter note, it is a good thing we aren't playing them at their place. Word is that they haven't lost a home playoff game in 33+ years..........

cute, I guess since they have a losing streak on the road, they are overdue for a win.

Hahaha... that's funny.

Fire them all? I dont know who you were talking to but the word around that area seems to be people are happy with what that staff has done.

Those linebackers better play lower than they did this past Friday or the little 5'9 running back named Zeman will have a field day with em. Hope those boys are in good shape. How man Jackson co players play both ways? What kind of offense do they run. I have asked that before but I didn't know if it was a secret or not.......lol

The offense seems a mix between spread and power from the games I saw.   They do not need to sub very often.

Those boys have played the whole season on both sides of the ball., they are in shape, and I bet ready for the MC team.  No one has given this team any credit all year long.  Everyone talks about the other team in every match-up.   Well, keep on talking, they will keep playing football.

Jackson Co defense is a lot better than anyone on here is giving credit for.  These boys play hard and physical.  This game will not be the "blowout" everyone is claiming.  I do not see the Marion Co. defense just shutting out this teams offense either.  This will be another weak of smash mouth football, nothing cute. 

I think JCHS pulls off the upset in a close game.   Not going to predict the score cause it could go high or low.

This is going to be a great game.   Both programs are playing well, looking forward to watching this one.

Game night, what are your final score predictions?

I say, JC 21 - UHS 19

. Have not seen JC, but 14-13 win vs RBS and 23-6 vs Clay is about all I need to know. Again, if UHS plays like they did first half at GHS or Monterey it will be a running clock. If they play like the second half at GHS, will be a down to the wire game. I say somewhere in between, 2-3 td's UHS.

RBS is a lot bigger and tougher than people realize.  I also saw where JC won 23-6 against Clay, but I heard they had a transfer at QB and the kid has a cannon.  I have seen Upperman and JC this year, both teams are physical and athletic.  Will be a great game to see this Friday.  We will simply have to agree to disagree on the outcome.  I can see it going both ways, but not because one team is just that much better than the other.  This will be a close game.

I don't see that happening. I think this is much like LA-MC or SC-YI.....bigger build up than the game will be. If the Bees play like the first half verse GHS and like they did verse Monterey...will be ugly. I say they play somewhere in between, 2-3 td win for UHS.

Have you watched Jackson County?  Sounds like everyone is just speculating because of what Upperman WAS last year.  I think it is going to be a fight between both teams.  I also saw where someone said Jackson has Monteray next week, and that will affect the team.  Upperman has York... you don't think they have that in the back of their minds?  This game is going to be a lot closer than anyone on here thinks.

  Thaks for the information!

I am moving to Cookeville and I was wondering if there are any assistant High School coach positions opening in the area.   I have teacher certification, with 2 years coaching at the high school level.  I can be more specific on the phone or through e-mail as to where I coached, what I coached, what certifications I have, and coaching philosophies. 

Looking for either faculty, if teaching position is an option, or non-faculty.

Here is an email to contact me, STcoach87@hotmail.com,

or you can give me contact information in a reply.

I look forward to hearing from someone.

(thanks Coach T admin for the information.)
