Football is officially back! The atmosphere at the Westview vs Dresden game last night was AWESOME, but after watching WV I don't understand all the hype. #1 seems to be their only offense, after him it seemed pretty much stagnant. How do you think opening night will go for the rest of the region?

Bolivar @ Fayette Ware

Dyer County @ Dyersburg

Ripley @ Jackson Southside

JCM @ Liberty

Covington @ Munford

McNairy @ Humboldt

Scotts Hill @ Lexington

 

Definitely a rebuilding year, but boy the talent is there. They will be dangerous in years to come! As for the other teams in the region, Dyersburg for sure will get this one tonight. Covington probably falls to Munford & Scotts Hill to Lexington. Ripley and Bolivar's games are really a toss up, have to see what team shows up to play. Looking forward to a great night of football though! 

Union City over Ensworth

Riverside over Collierville

Pulling for these two to pull the upsets tonight!

Would love to see UC pull the upset here, but it would be such a tall task, even for a team as well put together as UC. I will be keeping my eye on this score, but the Golden Tornadoes are probably outmanned in this match up! 

I've been hearing mixed reviews on Westview.  A couple of weeks ago many were saying they could really compete in Region 7-3A, now I'm hearing it's more of a rebuild year. One thing is for sure about this game, it's a HUGE rivalry over in Weakley County and both teams will be prepared to play for those yearly bragging rights. I personally agree with the assumption that Westview is in a rebuild. They lost a lot to graduation and while they still have talent, that talent is young and raw right now. Dresden is the better team in this match up this year, but the Chargers definitely won't rollover and give it to them. I'll take the Lions 28-14!

Week 3 will decide this region 

Week 3 will for sure decide who is finishing 1st & 2nd in this region. Dyersburg is loaded this year and Covington is Covington, we know they will reload and be the champion or runner up in this region. The fight in my opinion is for 3rd & 4th. Westview, Ripley, and Bolivar are the 3 I favor to be fighting for those final two spots. I've heard all the talk about Westview, but they lost a lot up front and Hamilton was Mr. Everything for them, they should compete for one of the final two spots in this region with the athletes they have, but it could be a growing year for them. Ripley returned a lot, but you never know what you are going to get from them. Bolivar I hear is much improved, but we will have to see if it is enough to secure a playoff spot. 

My pick: #1 Dyersburg

                #2 Covington

                #3 Ripley

                #4 Westview

I think this will be a really good game this year. Dyersburg is returning a lot, but Dyer County has looked fairly good in their preseason scrimmages. But after losing to the Choctaws last year when they really didn't expect to, I believe Stowe will have that team out for a little revenge this year. Trojans by 2 TDs! 

Union City wins this region, that's not even a question. Everyone else is fighting for those other 3 spots. Dresden & Lake County take the 2nd and 3rd spot in no particular order, then it is a straight battle for that 4th and final spot. I know Humboldt is much improved, I've heard the same about Halls, and I've heard a lot of talk about South Fulton's offense. It should be interesting to watch it play out this season, but I'll take Halls at 4 for now!

Maybe the toughest region in 2A in the state top to bottom. This region has the historic rivalry of the dog and pony show in it as well as former multiple time state champion in recent years Peabody, and last years 2A runner up in Riverside in it. With Milan, Huntingdon, Riverside, Peabody, JCM, Camden, Adamsville and Gibson County in the same region this will be fun to watch. How will it play out? Thoughts?

Riverside's region to lose. They have to be the heavy favorite after last season and the pieces they return. Peabody looks to be in rebuild mode, but Huntingdon and Milan will make a push at Riverside in this region. My opinion, 1. Riverside 2. Milan 3. Huntingdon...that 4 spot is TBD.

Haywood County does play Oakland week 6 at Brownsville

Wow, I'll have to be in attendance for this one! Big game for West Tennessee! 

After watching the Pearl Cohn-Haywood game, Anderson County will be going home with the gold ball. No disrespect to Pearl Cohn, because that was one of the best football games I've ever watched, but they are going to need to find some defense if they expect to beat Anderson County. But they do have some dudes over there, looking forward to a good game. 

I've been back and forth all week, but I've gotta take Huntingdon. This will definitely be a good game and I'll be braving the cold to check it out, but Mustangs by a TD! 

Haywood by whatever they want, no challenge for them this week. 

Dyersburg hasn't lost since the last time they played Covington and guess what, it doesn't matter! Dyersburg has basically played inner city Memphis teams since they last matched up, Ripley & Millington pretty much fit that mold too. This is not going to be a game, definitely not worth spending money and sitting in the cold for. Build up all the hype you want for this game, but Covington wins by at least 3 TDs! 

The Tornadoes get the Chargers the second time around. If I remember correctly, Union City was missing some key players in the last match up but are back healthy now. Westview losing their QB is a big deal. #17 Hamilton is a heck of a player, their is a reason he's a semifinalist for Mr. Football, but moving him to QB is putting a little too much on his plate in my opinion. Westview's offense becomes a little one dimensional when your best WR is now playing QB. Union City takes this game by 2 TDs. 

I want to take Dresden in this one, but boy boy boy, that Fayetteville bunch has been mighty good this year. Those Dresden Lions will lay down for no one and will sure fight to the end, but I don't think it will be enough this week. Hoping for the upset, but I'm going Fayetteville by 2 to 3 TDs in this one. 

I was shocked to see the Rebels get out of Memphis with a win, like big shocked. So it wouldn't surprise me now if they did find a way to upset the Bulldogs and advance to the 3rd round. Hopefully Johnny has had a week full of rest and relaxation because they are going to need to ride him again to pull out a win in this match up! Rebels by a TD! 

Millington got their QB back and Covington has had a few injuries to key players, but the outcome will still be the same. Scoreboard may look a little better than last time, but Chargers roll in this one! 

Hopefully this will be a good game, SGC will definitely fight to the end in this one, but no chance they stop Haywood from winning this game, they've just got too many horses in the stable this year! 

Can't see the Lions dropping this 1st round match up, Dresden by 3 scores! 

I know this match up normally plays out that region 7 sweeps region 8, but is anybody seeing any upsets this year? I hear Sheffield is not bad and has an all world athlete playing QB, but haven't heard much else on any of the other teams out of region 8. 

Obion is much improved this year and play hard. Tough to go into Memphis and beat a good team like Melrose though. I think they will definitely keep it close and make things interesting, but I'll take Melrose by 2 TDs. 

Obion County has definitely been playing well as of late, well enough to beat Haywood, not this year. Tomcats by at least 3 scores!

According to the Sonny Moore Power ranking  its pretty much a pick em. Tough game to pick. Ripley lost to Dyersburg last season, but defeated them the two years prior, and Dyersburg won a lot prior to that. Seems like they have a good little rivalry going. 

A lot on the line for both teams here and definitely a tough pick. Ripley's offense hasn't been very good of late, but the defense seems to be playing well. Dyersburg is coming in rested after a week off while Ripley put forth a nice effort against Westview in a 21-7 ball game. Dyersburg is at home, but I like Ripley's defense. I may regret this but I'll take the Tigers over the Trojans in a close ball game!

Ripley ought to be just as embarrassed!! Haywood and Ripley boy have an awful long history . Why would y’all end the game?? 

I get that it's a long standing rivalry and everything, but what would Dyersburg or Ripley gain from playing Haywood? What would Haywood gain from playing these two? I think we can all agree that Haywood would have their way with both of them, whether it be this year or last year, neither team is on Haywood's level. Haywood's got some grown men in that locker room, more than Dyersburg & Ripley combined. I don't blame either team for not playing them right now, gotta do what's best for your team at the end of the day. 

Covington takes this game with ease, Dyersburg isn't the same team from last year!
