The format is fine as is. Meddling is not needed. So, a team that has a better record or won their region has to go on the road for the quarterfinals or semi-finals - who cares. If they deserve to be there, they will win the game. It is part of the advancing deep in the playoffs experience..going somewhere different to play an opponent you normally wouldn't play. Besides, the reward for winning their region is to host the first two rounds.

How about the fans, media & wannabe media members be just what they are supposed to be - fans, media & wannabe media. Simplicity is best. The players & coaches will decide whom will play for the championship each year by settling it on the field.

I just talked to my friend on the UC Turf staff. He thanks you for the compliment & said they do not paint the field as a whole. They do use field paint for logos, yard lines & stuff like that. When they color the whole field, it is a special type of grass dye normally used for winter golf course greens. They have dyed it purple before but prefer to keep it green. He said they just went partially dormant & that's why they dyed it green this season since half of the field was still green.

The region that year was to be played at Bethel if 14A didn't sweep. So, no, Bethel was not contacted by your school system because it was already to be played there until the 14A sweep happened. UC wanted it at their place. Also, the Elam Center in Martin was in fact available during the Region dates in 2015. Check the dates. UTM was on the road the 2/15-2/27. UC hosted the Region semis & finals that year - 2/25 & 2/26 - because they wanted home court advantage period. Also, the dates were pushed to back to back to back nights because of weather that delayed the district championship game for a week.

This reasoning is the perfect example of why these kids behave the way they do. If you are a guest you should act in a responsible & respectful manner. But, with your logic of "as long as there was no damage" to explain away a punishable offense is absurd. It is a sad state in society when we begin to excuse inappropriate behavior.

Ridiculous to even attempt to excuse this behavior. But, coach made everything better with apology. Question: If he was a 4th string lineman, would he get all these extra chances?

Difference there is that they were "your" countertops not someone else's. Standing behind a prank is condoning disrespectful behavior. But, if that is acceptable at your school then so be it. When you get down to it, the whole situation is sad that the young man can't learn from his mistakes.

The Rebels had a great game against the Lions earlier this season. This one has revenge game written all over it. Should be a good one to see.

That doesn't make it right. What has happened to respecting other people's property? The video showed different than "joking around".

I've been to several games in Memphis & never had a problem at all.

If Peabody @ UC wasn't happening tonight, this would be the game to go to for those of use in the NW corner of the state. Should be a fun game to watch!

OK then.

The scouts will be in attendance at Crump tonight watching the potential next level players.

The areas that do not receive coverage from the JS are the ones that have a daily competing newspaper. That is the main reason they do not give much coverage to Obion, Dyer & Henry counties.

Call someone stupid & then next post indicate that you're praying. Nice. Should be a good game. Looking forward to watching it.

What happened to them last night? UC beat them 12-2...

Pitino wasn't fired - he left Kentucky to become head coach & general manager of the Boston Celtics. He won a national title with KY in 96 & runner-up in 97 - not fired. He resigned from the Celtics in 01 & took over at Louisville the same year. Get your facts straight bub.... As to the game - the Murphy Center can eat up teams that rely on shooting the 3. But, UC has played in big gyms, small gyms - doesn't seem to matter. Hampton's experience will be important in stopping a Tornado run that can be devastating. UC by 12.

Congratulations to Zach Stewart on winning 1A Mr. Football - lineman. Also, congratulations need to go to UC's two finalist Jernigan & Henry. I watched highlights of the Yellow Jackets. Stewart & Bible are very impressive young men on the field. Stewart had some very good blocks on the video I watched. Bible has some elusiveness to him & a good arm as well. The Yellow Jackets run the pistol offense pretty well. I've watched UC in person a couple of times this season & their triple option veer is so tough to stop. Stewart & whomever UC puts in front of him will be a fun matchup to watch. But, it is a team game & Union City looks to have the better team. We'll know for sure on Friday.

Obion Central is in Region 7-4A for football next season - not 5A.

It is my understanding that about half of the kids eligible to go to UCHS go to the two county schools - Obion County Central & South Fulton. Union City recently had graduating classes of under 60 students & under 80 students according to friends of mine that live there. I've also been told that their enrollment is growing year by year & the next classification period in two years may have them in the 2A ranks in football.

Peabody passed a big test in the 2nd round against TCA & again last night against Adamsville! Ricky Woods may lead the Golden Tide to a state title on Saturday. Should be a very good game!

Each team is given a certain number of players that can be on the All-District team depending on where how the team finished in the district standings. 1st place gets 6-8 players, 2nd gets 5, 3rd gets 4 & so on.... - all players named by their own coach - not voted on by other coaches. Coaches vote on MVP, Coach of the Year, etc....

Not a bean counter nor a UC fan...just thought your post was a bit ridiculous. By the by, you can't not count students for a period & then start counting them without the ability to show when they enrolled. From what I hear, UC's enrollment will be above the 1A level with classes growing in size. But, remember that Obion County has seen a severe drop off in residents with Goodyear closing. People seem to forget that little tidbit. But, I agree with BigSwo - back to the game: Will Lake County's talented back Wilkes be held to under 150 yards?

I agree 1968... Your Falcons have been rolling! That Wilkes kid & the line are opening some eyes for sure. They are fun to watch.

Peabody has an explosive offense! Saw them against Huntingdon in Round 1 & was very impressed. Golden Tide by 24 over McKenzie
