Very solid for the most part. They have given up points against Hendersonville and Summit, but a lot of that was due to the offense struggling.
Most teams would give up points to those two those year.

Yes. I think that adds to lack of rhythm, but neither one has taken it.
How’s Beech’s D been this year?

Yeah I’m not a fan of the 2 QB system, and never will be. Springfield ran it in 2017 with some success but that’s a rarity, and I still wasn’t a fan of it then.

Does all the decent talent in Scott county go to Oneida to play football? I’ve always wondered that when I’m in Huntsville at Brimstone.

I didn’t see a great defensive game.. I saw a team leave at least 18 points on the field from implosion. I’ve rewatched the film 3x, and each time it was the same thing. Henry County beat themselves in the red zone. I mean kudos for stopping the same straight ahead play 4x and getting the turnover on downs, that took guts, but if we keep doing what got us down there, it’s a 21-6 game. If’s/but’s I know.. but that’s been the story of our season to this point. Not having 7 in all 3 facets hurt, as well as missing 17, but we shot ourselves in the foot on numerous occasions. Outside of the Summit game and here and there with Beech, we’ve beaten ourselves all season long.
Has I sit here currently watching the film for the 3rd time, the refs are the only reason Henry county scored 3, bogus pass interference call on a 3rd down. Spotting the ball in HC’s favor, not calling holding against our #84 multiple times. Fumble on HC’s last drive that Springfield clearly recovered not called. So yeah Henry county shot themselves in the foot, because the refs helped all they could. HOME COOKING at its finest, but hey the Jackets still got it done.

What happens if Cheatham County beats Sycamore and Stewart County and then Stewart County defeats White House-Heritage? You could have a three way tiebreaker for the #4 playoff spot in the region. Don’t count out the Cubs. Coach Halstead & Co. have those guys playing much better football of late.
If they had beaten WHH the other night it would have turned the region playoff picture upside down.
I really don’t think Heritage wins another game this year and Stewart county gets in at 4. I very well could be wrong but I’ve felt like White House, Waverly, Fairview would battle for the top 3 spots and Stewart county would be 4th.

I believe the West is going to be like the Wild West…..a shoot out until the end. Lots of very good teams on this side of the bracket this year.

Week 8
It’s that time of year again to look at the 5A playoff races and see what match-ups could be coming together. Week 7 really made a lot of region races come better into focus, but there are still plenty of regions far from being decided. This week there is not a lot of big region games but there are a lot of quality games this week.
Teams still undefeated
Memphis Central
Page
Station Camp
Games to watch
Page vs Nolensville
Knox Central vs South Doyle*
David Crockett vs West Ridge*
Rhea Co vs Elizabethton *
Powell vs Campbell Co
Mt Juliet vs Lebanon*
Wilson Central vs Station Camp
Beech vs Springfield*
White Co vs Hillsboro
Knox Halls vs Karns*
*=non region game
Region 1 vs Region 2
Region 1
David Crockett is in control of their destiny with a solid win tonight against Cherokee. Mo West currently sits 2nd and only has Cherokee left to play. Then there is TN High and Daniel Boone sitting 3rd and 4th. Both these teams play in 2 weeks. Depending on how things play out we could see a 3 way tie for 2nd with Mo West, TN High and Boone all finishing 2-2 in region play.
Region 2
This region is looking like it will come down to a week 11 showdown between Knox West and Knox Central. Both made quick work of Heritage and Cocke Co. Sevier Co got a good win tonight against Halls. Sevier might have cemented there spot in 3rd with the win against Halls.
If the playoffs started Friday (based on current standings)
David Crockett vs Halls
Knox Central vs TN High
Mo West vs Sevier Co
Knox West vs Daniel Boone
Region 3 vs 4
Region 3
Powell has pretty much put themselves in the drivers seat for the region 3 championship with a good win over Oak Ridge. With the loss Oak Ridge falls into a 3 way tie with Campbell Co and Karns. Oak Ridge controls their one destiny if they want a home playoff game come November. Karns also has a similar path as Oak Ridge and the game with Oak Ridge could decide who finishes 2nd in the region. Campbell has a lot tougher road but technically could still win the region if they somehow upset Powell and beat Oak Ridge.
Region 4
Rhea County came away with a solid win at Walker Valley and pretty much locking up the region championship and the 1 seed. Now it comes down in two weeks with McMinn and Walker Valley playing for 2nd and a home playoff game. Ooltewah got the first win last night and punched their ticket to the playoffs.
If the playoffs started Friday (based on current standings)
Powell vs Ooltewah
Walker Valley vs Karns
Campbell Co vs McMinn Co
Rhea Co vs Oak Ridge
Region 5 vs 6
Region 5
Station Camp got a big win over Mt Juliet putting them tied up top with Green Hill for the region station camp and green hill will meet in 3 weeks for the region if both take care of business over the next few weeks. My Juliet still has a chance to finish 2nd if they beat Green Hill at the end of the year. Wilson Central currently holds 4th in the region and if the cards fall right Hillsboro and WC will play for the final playoff sport in week 11.
Region 6
Page got a key win last night with Columbia and setting up a big showdown with Nolensville next Friday for what could be the Region Championship. Columbia sits 2nd and has two very winnable games remaining in region play. That would be something if Nolensville beats Page next week and Page, Columbia, and Nolensville all finished with one lose in region play. However if Page wins then the region will pretty much be determined. Franklin Co controls its own destiny and win vs Spring Hill would put them in the playoffs.
If the playoffs started Friday (based on current standings)
Station Camp vs Franklin Co
Columbia vs Mt Juliet
Green Hill vs Nolensville
Page vs Wilson Central
Region 7 vs 8
Region 7
Springfield took a big step forward with a nice win over Henry Co. Springfield and Portland will face off in a few weeks in what could decide how the region shakes out. Ultimately I think last nights game decided the region. The game between Kenwood and Northeast in week 11 could decide the final playoff spot in Region 7
Region 8
Memphis Central and Munford have separated themselves from the rest of the region and as long as both teams take care of business. The championship will be decided in week 11 when both teams play. Dyer County controls their own destiny for 3rd. However the match up with Brighton in a few weeks could determine who finishes 3rd and 4th. Technically speaking Memphis Overton and Southwind are not out of the playoffs but they have to pull off some big wins down the stretch.
If the playoffs started Friday (based on current standings)
Springfield vs Brighton
Munford vs Henry Co
Portland vs Dyer Co
Memphis Central vs Kenwood.l
Besides Powell, who has a solid shot to come out of the East?

In region 7 Portland took a big hit loosing to Kenwood last night. They might wind up the 4 seed. Idk how tie breakers will workout.

Yessir! Other than the outcome I enjoyed last night overall. Hopefully we can do this thing again in just a few weeks. I still think HC can salvage this season.
Y’all will be just fine. Come playoff I’d expect y’all to be clicking along. Hopefully we’ll meet again in about 6 weeks!

I agree about the offense. Right before halftime I would’ve liked to seen the Jackets manage that 2/3 minute offense better and get down to a scoring position. And get ball back 2nd half.
I don’t remember the Jackets having trouble last yr on extra points when Devon snapped and 2 held.
The extra pint and FG thing concerns me a little. We’ve missed one every game except against Rossview I believe, I thought it could’ve haunted us against Henry County like it did against Wilson Central. Have we even made a FG this year?

I agree at times I have thought the play calling was too conservative for my tastes. But we are 6-1 and a missed PAT and 2 missed FGs away from being 7-0. I can’t complain too much. I am just a second guessing arm chair QB
No you are spot on. Slant has been there ALL year long and we don’t throw it but maybe once a game if that. It’s a really good way to pick up 4-5 yards on 2nd down and 3rd and short.

The Jackets D is playing STOUT this year. Through 7 games this year we have given up 49 points. Our opponents are averaging just 7 points a game against us so far. I expect more than 7 scored from Beech next week. The defensive play is still impressive
Yeah that’s an impressive stat. Not many high school teams can say that regardless of competition. Just doesn’t happen much. Offensively, we’ve got to do better…….

Beech is coming off of a win against a very bad West Creek team. Springfield is coming in riding high after beating Henry County.
Beech has yet to play a complete game. It’s getting to be late in the season to be saying that, but I do believe if they put together a complete game they can surprise a lot of people that may have e written them off with the losses to Hendersonville and Summit. The defense has been put in some bad situations all year, as the offense has struggled to find consistency. That said, I don’t think Springfield can hold them under 21. Can Springfield score with them?
That’s been the question for me all year about Springfield is the offense. We’ve got the players but the play calling has been up and down. Defense on the other hand has been playing lights out. Should be a fun one.

We ain’t ran away with a game yet. It really depends on what teams shows up. I just realized tonight that PC might be the youngest team in the district. Everybody is loaded with seniors. I seen MC this year and them boys can play. Switching the QB I think made them more dangerous and the kid can throw. It should be dog fight.
MC is a very tough place to play, but PC is LOADED. PC all the way in this one. Not a blow but a good region win over a tough team.

I did a little research and the last time Henry County started the season 3-4 was way back in 2004! 17 years since the Patriots have been this bad. There just isn't much to be excited about this year anymore. I will talk to my fellow HC posters maybe during the off-season or beginning of next season till then BigRed88 signing off. GBR!
Don’t sign off just yet HC will make a run in the playoffs. We'll see y’all again on our side of the river.

The Jackets man to man defense looked alot better than zone
100%^ when the DB’s stopped playing 7-8 yards off the line it really seemed to slow down or upset their passing game. That first half we were giving way to much real-estate to them.

Big win literally and figuratively for HC not surprised at all. Heck of a team this year, maybe better than last years squad.

I knew it would be close. Jackets had to overcome not only the Patriots but self inflictions and the piss poor refs!!!! So proud of them boys. Defense did what Yellow Jackets do......SWARM! The Jacket faithful got loud and proud! Fun times! And......Im not going to be able to talk tomorrow
The refs were terrible to put it lightly. So many blown calls and 84 on defense was mauled and held all night long because that’s the only way HC could stop him.
