To me, there’s going to be an advantage for Humboldt for playing 3 games while Lake County has only played 1 (which would be around 27-28 days when Friday arrived). I don’t know what to expect out of this game because the Vikings can score 21-28 with ease now. And with Lake County’s defensive coordinator now gone, I think the Vikings has all the momentum in the world. The Vikings have two weeks to work on early mistakes, while Lake County is preparing for another opening game to start the 2021 season.

My thoughts 

Game will be on YouTube!

I expect LC will pull this out but don’t sleep on Humboldt. I think Humboldt will get better and better each week.

Don’t have a dog in that race but it’s comical to see a lot of crying going on in this forum. I guess little 1A can line up and play ball too huh

Ik depth has a lot to do with. Some teams literally play to wear down teams.  It’s 11 on 11 every play at the end of the day. If your well conditioned and have the talent you can compete with anyone.

Yes but that doesn't tell me much truthfully.

They have also beaten Huntingdon by 3 scores. They have won their games convincingly is what I am saying.

Also last night was somewhat of an experiment. We only had 2 or 3 kids starting both ways. 

It worked. Part of that win last night was because you all wore Humboldt down.

I thought he was down. Either way that was early in the 3rd and they still had plenty of time to make up for it. The come apart penalties hurt them just as much. 

Yeah, seemed like they hung their heads after that for a bit and it hurt them.

Just received this picture. This was the play that was called a fumble on the 5 that west Carroll ran back to the 50 when Humboldt was up 30 to 28. Looks like he was down with control.

Not sure where you got the 10,000 people watch that game information from but the live stream consistently had a count of around 1,500 devices watching it. The YouTube replay has had about 700 hits.

Of course the high school teams are getting benefits out of ball games being streamed. It's called exposure.

10k on Facebook and almost 900 on YouTube. Last years milan game was about 33k on Facebook during the Covid restrictions.

Dyer County was the pick to win 49+ by just about every one. 

I picked Dyersburg to win

I regret that I did not answer the most obvious question.

Why not play this week?

Allow me to offer our explanation. Coach Stowe called me Tuesday around noon. I’d rather not share specific information within our program, but I can be general enough to perhaps provide enough clarification. If we played Friday night, we would be without 6-9 key players (a few would have been game-time decisions). Our streak will end one day, but we will not give it away by playing a very good football team (with almost zero preparation) and some of our best players unavailable. We were (and still are) willing to play opponents who would have talent similar to talent we would have been able to put on the field. I gave Coach Dilfer and a few other schools the same answer. There is no question in my mind that, given some inside information which I won’t disclose, every coach would have made the same decision to decline games with Dyersburg, Lipscomb, Oakland, etc. 

A team will end the streak. It was almost the best player in the country who did it. If it would’ve happened last Friday (against Westview), so be it. We were fortunate and they almost did it. We will not give this streak away. It will be earned by an opponent. When that day comes, our players and coaches will shake hands and sincerely be proud for that team and their community. 
Streak or no streak, we’re not putting younger and much less experienced  players on the field against a high quality football team like the teams I mentioned above. Doing that would be a completely irresponsible way to run a program. I understand playing Friday seems obvious, but there are decisions that head coaches make who have information about which no one else knows. We’re certainly not always right, but we do the best we can to be as thorough in our decision-making process as possible.

Thanks Coach. We have nothing but respect for you and your staff in Trenton.

I have always called them " Keyboard Kowboys ", or " Internet Warriors"

The keyboard for some reason gives people courage... Kinda like whiskey does to men.... 

I like Keyboard Kowboys. It is the best name I have heard for it

Do some research. TSSAA says the only game that matters is the covid out. The extra one means nothing either way. The problem here that the world has forgotten that your word is your bond. I’m sure you don’t care but some of us do. You schedule who will play you and Trenton wanted Dyersburg and most everybody else did not kudos to them for wanting the game initially. Do a little homework before you speak. Like Dyersburg scrimmaged Milan the week before the season. Ask around about how that turned out. And for that matter if Milan didn’t have a crap show on kickoffs for 3 scores Trenton would already have that loss. 

To bad special teams is apart of football

Peabody wins because they don’t have to play Dyersburg 

Why don’t you suit up and play Dyersburg.
