1000% correct! Taking nothing away from Burleson, but It’s BS Smith didn’t get Mr. Baseball. He’s by far the best player in 1A, especially when you raise above playing in a team, such as ER that’s loaded with talent.

About like I expected it to be....game is over in the first qt.

Love it when the under dog wins

Great job Milan, be pulling for you guys in Cookeville!

Congrats Haywood, hats off to Lexington for a great game. Haywood’s got to clean up those penalties tho.....got to get more disciplined!

I agree about passing. The lack of passing really didn’t concern me, it was not calling off tackle and outside of the tackle run plays. Our speed in space has been dangerous all year, let them bounce it outside and see what happens. The last TD we had was ran off tackle for 60 yards......

Yep my thoughts exactly

Exactly. They aren’t there and have been demoted to coach middle school ball.

I very rarely talk about play calling or challenge the calls especially not knowing the exact game plan and in game situations .......but I totally agree with being too conservative. It was ridiculous to not run something other than between the tackles when it clearly WASN’T working, especially when your starting center is out due to contact tracing. You’ve got to loosen up and try to gain some yardage and help your defense, who was playing lights out and keeping you in the game. The defense just wore out late in the second half due to being on the field so much. IMHO the OC put the DC in a bad spot late in the game due to play calling. Hats off to Hardin county they never gave up even late and found a way to win. Best of luck the rest of the way.

Congrats to Hardin County, great win for the program. I agree that was a classless move to just run off the field and not acknowledge the other team....piss poor in my book

You said the most they’ve given up....125 was probably in the first game of the year. After that not many have run much one them and when they did it was usually on the Jv. I’d say an overall average on the year given up on the ground is around 50.....maybe

Maybe 125 that’s just a rough questimate.......they haven’t given up much on the ground all year

Safe travel to all the Hardin County faithful making the long trip tonight. The Jackets have got to keep hitting on all cylinders moving the ball and play iron curtain defense. It’s going to be a hard fought game tonight. Hope everyone from both sides comes out injury free. Go Jackets!

How is Hardin County on special teams? Springfield’s pretty solid all the way around in all aspects of special teams. Kicker is great from 45 and in, punting is more consistent than it’s been in a long time. If the game is as close as most everyone believes it will be, it can very likely come down to special teams play.

Cryptic......

True

That and Springfield’s defense.....

Food for thought on the Jackets pass defense. They’ve gotten much much better since the come apart at Marshall County. Creek Wood’s qb was averaging around 100 yards or better through the air and only had been picked 3 times prior to that game. The Jackets picked him 3 times and held them well under his average and completely shut them down in the second half. I know Hardin County’s passing attack is much better, but I do believe the Jackets will be ok. I agree both sides are going to score and give up big plays, I just think the Jackets will make the stops when they have to. Put the old Wilson bend but don’t break D on them.

Back to the game.....I do think #’s 11, 5, & 83 have big games on the ground this Friday night.

He probably just changed his handle.....you can do it every so often. Same account made the statement that was quoted, name just changed is all

What reliable source you get your info from? The AP?

You were spreading the same rumors during the White House game week.....

Yep it’s playoff time and every point is crucial in close games

How many yards did we hold Creek Wood too? Couldn’t have been a lot with all the negative plays.

The Jackets D is playing lights out right now and will need to continue that streak this week. Hardin county’s offense is very good with Hunt, Pope, and Whitley. I think the Jackets will have to focus on containing Hunt and stopping the run, force them to pass. The Jackets secondary can match up against the Tigers WR’s. Should be a great and tough 2nd round game.
