The White County Warriors looked good in a scrimmage at Tech against Oneida, Clay, Smith, and Rockwood. Trip Pinion was the best player on the field. He had 3 or 4 interceptions, He ran for several touchdowns and threw for several as well. JoJo Dowell ( Malaki’s little brother) broke a 30+ yard TD on his only touch. The Warriors looked particularly good against Smith who had got the best of them in the Spring:

Congrats to Nolensville. Our defense was off all night. #1 is the real deal! #9 deserves every offer he gets and seems like a great kid. White county had a phenomenal year. Let’s go see what we can do in 4A.

If you’re right I’ll come on here and say so. However, you are not right.

Why don’t you ask Franklin County what they think? We will see. I hope Nolensville thinks exactly like you do.

White County’s defensive backfield has improved tremendously over the second half of the season. FC hurt us on bubble screens but our down field coverage wasn’t bad. I feel like we play a little like UT as far as we sometimes are very aggressive on the defensive side of the ball and that can bite us in the butt at times but also creates big plays on D. Our offensive line is playing lights out right now as are our fullback and TE. 600+ against a good and athletic FC team makes a big statement. I’m sure we are a big underdog in most people’s minds and that is OK. We tend to like it that way.

I sure was impressed with him and 6 when we played you guys the first time. Nolensville and Page are both really good teams but I really believe MJ and WC are too. I hope we both take care of business so we see if you stand behind that 17 point prediction you made earlier Good luck Friday! Let’s repeat one of the most entertaining games of the year next week.

Yes they did! The O-line were grown men. The Jumbo set had a couple extra guys step in and block well. Bumbalough was a beast at fullback! Almost 600 yards offense with 0 passes. Two guys almost ran for 300! Defense played well but was hurt by penalties that kept FC drives alive. The officiating was awful on both sides.

We love facts in White County Fact: We are hosting a playoff game when we were winless just a few years ago Fact: Our running back has over 2,500 yards this season and our quarterback has over 1,000 on the ground and almost 1,000 in the air Fact: We are 8-2. We lost those 2 games by a total of 5 points. Fact: Our community is enjoying our team’s success Fact: Win or lose it has been a great season and we are all proud of our team.

You are correct, I was wrong. He played two series and touched the ball 6 times. I think I quoted what someone else had said. If Malaki touches the ball 6 times then he usually has at least one touchdown. He probably shouldn’t have played but he was a competitor and wanted desperately to try.

He played 5 plays

You could bring me some Holt’s Chicken when you come over

Sounds about right to me. I think Green Hill and Page is a toss up.

One of the things that I love about this game between my alma mater and the school where I help the staff and coach at the middle school is that there are coaches on both sides that have been with the Seniors since they were little guys playing youth league. There will be a lot of emotion in the game and extra emotion on the losing side line. Either way I am proud of the impact these coaches have made on these young men for over a decade.

Nobody has attacked you or your team. We came over there and had you beat until a trick play. You have facilities on par with some small colleges. You have “SEC” recruits. You talk about all your transfers. You better hope we get bounced early because there is nothing our boys would love more than ending your season and shutting your mouth. Most of our coaches work full time jobs. Every player on our team is home grown. We are 8-2 and lost two games by a total of 5 points. Not sure why you have an issue with a town supporting their team and players. I would love a home game so I hope your team wins tomorrow. I really do hope to see you again.

I might be biased..

Yeah and I am a Franklin County Alum who now coaches (linemen)middle school in White County. I also help on the sidelines for the high school. My parents still go to all the FC games. There is a young man on the team who my sister helped raise.

Malaki will be the best player in the tournament. We have one loss on a last second field goal set up by a trick play at MJ. We lost to Wilson Central without Malaki by 3. We are not a favorite but I really believe we can make some noise.

Go Mt. Juliet! That was hard to say but I really would like that 2 seed!

I have been trying to figure out the different scenarios on where we ( White County) will be seeded when the playoffs start. I know that the loss last week to Wilson Central hurt us. I think we can end up in a three way tie for second but I’m not sure what the tiebreakers are. I was just curious how everyone thought it might play out. There have been some great games in this region. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings however, to be put in 4A next season. I hope everyone across the region stays healthy as we finish the season and represents 5 5A in the playoffs.

You might as well get used to hearing the names Pinion and Dowell for the next 4 1/2 years. The younger brothers of the White County stars, along with the help of RB/LB Cole Sims, and a very strong line and receiving core just went 10-0 in middle school. The WCMS Warriors scored 460 points and gave up 66 (mostly in JV mop up time). The closest games the Warriors faced were 28-6 wins against Macon County at the beginning and end of the season. The Freshman and JV teams are also doing well as they have only lost one game apiece. Its a fun time to be a Warrior football fan! It is good to know that we can fill up a football stadium just like we have always done the basketball gym.

This was a good win for White County. Holding on and moving the ball to win the game without Malaki was huge for the Warriors. The Defense got a few stops when they needed to. The Warriors don’t need to let up but it seems like the hardest part of the region schedule is behind them and they are 2-1 in the region. I think they have a really good shot at hosting a playoff game.

Does anyone know where I can get team and individual stats for Cookeville? I need them for an article.

I kept my mouth closed before the game. I felt like we had a good chance to win but was surprised at how dominant the Warriors were tonight. The Bisons had NO ANSWER for Malaki. He is a special talent and such a good kid. The physicality the Warriors played with especially on defense was impressive. This is a huge win for White County.
