I would think PC would be favored again, but MC looked as good as I've seen them at Hardin County. And Hardin County is no slouch.

Not much trash talking going on. Looks like both teams are taking this one seriously. With Marshall being one dimensional in passing will the game plan for tonight change? Will the o-line protect the QB for Marshall? Lots of sacks have been given up. PC will be hard to handle as long as they can keep their heads in the right place.

Not sure where you get the idea Marshall is one dimensional. Their top back has almost 600 rushing yards.

Hard to do much when you lose your starting QB before the season starts and you lose your best RB from last year.

I'm not saying MC has no chance, because there's a reason they play the game. However, looking at scores among like opponents, MC hasn't played its starters through virtually any second half since Station Camp. They haven't needed to. PC is probably the better overall team, but if MC can limit mistakes and capitalize when they have to, this could be a game into the fourth quarter.

Community will have to get equal production from Simmons inside and have their shooters hit. Community only shot 7-21 from three against Scotts Hill. Will have to be better to beat Westview.

Nobody seems to be giving the 2 west tn teams much hope.  All I will say is they both have plenty of experience at the Glass house and both have a player that’s as good as anyone else can put out there and good guard play. That’s always going to give you a chance.  

I've not seen Scotts Hill play, but looking at their schedule, it looks like it was an extremely down year out west. The mid-state and eastern teams have played much tougher schedules this season.

 GC over Riverside by alot

McMinn by 15

McMinn is way underrated!! 

Scotts Hill over Community

Community just didn’t look good in sectional.  I think they will struggle on the big stage.

York over Westview by 12

Close game with York pulling away with FTs late.  

The officiating was horribly inconsistent in the Community/Smith Co. sectional game. Take nothing away from Smith, but the officials would blow their whistle without even knowing what the call was. Saw that happen a few times in that game. That, and they couldn't decide what a foul was.

Braxton Laney played QB. 

That may have had an impact on the Lexington/Greenbrier game. Nolan Carson was the starter in the last game against Marshall.

He played one series in the second half. Lexington scored every possession except for a missed fg as the first half expired. 

Any clue who the Greenbrier quarterback was? The starter was injured last week against Marshall County.

Does anyone know who the quarterback was for Greenbrier tonight? The starting QB/S was injured last week against Marshall County. Curious if they had to play with a back up at Lexington or if Carson played tonight.

Been watching some region 5 games. Very good region. Top 4 are good teams. Seeing all the region 6 teams play I’ll say PC and Marshall roll in the first round. Thee other two games I think will be much closer. I do think Lexington can move the ball on Greenbriers defense but I do think it’ll be close going either way. Our game with Creek wood should be a good game as well. They are a solid team. IMO their a little better defensively than offensively. I can see why a lot of people think they win this game though. But I think HC finds a way to win at home. 

I know it's hard to look at teams and make predictions based entirely on scores....that being said, MC gets Chester County on Friday and Chester County's last two wins were Liberty (65-18) and Bolivar Central (56-12) with a combined 1-19 record. Marshall County has steamrolled just about everyone and they truthfully didn't play very well against Greenbrier and still won by three touchdowns. Pearl Cohn shouldn't have any issue and truthfully, I think we're all hoping for a possible rematch in the third round with Marshall County. I'm interested to see what Lexington and Hardin County do. Creek Wood is a tricky team that really limits possessions and takes advantage of mistakes. Greenbrier definitely can get off the field on third down, but their QB did go down against MC. I don't know a ton about Hardin County or Lexington.

I'm sure Pearl will want to turn it into a track meet, but Marshall County has a pretty good run defense, and a loaded backfield. I'd wager they will want to try and run the ball to limit Pearl's possessions. And yes, Marshall County's QB is the real deal.

Tullahoma scored first and It was 14-7 at half and should have been 7-7 at half but a muffed punt gave MC short field.  The score got away in 3rd quarter….I don’t believe it was as bad of a whipping as score sounds.  While MC has some playmakers, I was not impressed with there overall play, we shall see how good they are over the next few weeks.

It was as bad as it sounded. Tullahoma's only sustained drive of the second half came on a targeting penalty and a pass interference late in the fourth quarter when it was running clock. Marshall's defense absolutely lived in the backfield in the second half.

Cornersville lost to Richland. They have no chance to beat the dogs. 

Take that game with a grain of salt. Cornersville was not conditioned late in the game and it showed. I think Cornersville was probably a two score winner if they didn't lose half the team to cramps. That said, I don't think Cornersville wins at Clay County. I'd wager they still have a handful of wins left on the schedule though. The Franklin kid is the real deal.

I think Marshall County learned how to win ugly last week, which is what good teams do. Both MCHS and Tullahoma have weapons in the kicking game. Also, Marshall County's senior tailback sat out last week. Haven't heard if he's going to go this week, but I'd wager he's ready. I'd think Marshall wins by two scores.

MC beat Creekwood last season 42-0 at home.  Will the long bus ride to Creekwood change anything from last year or will the Tigers be too much again this year?  I think the way that the Tigers have played these first two games will have them come out victorious again on Friday night.  Their defense has been running around making all kinds of plays on that side of the ball and their QB play has been great as well.  Don't know much about Creekwood but don't think they can turn around a 42-point swing in one season based solely on the way the Tigers have been playing this early in the season. 

Marshall's run defense has been a strength of the team. Columbia had a kid break a few long runs, but overall, the MCHS run defense has been good. Plus, the Jones kid may be one of the best sophomore receivers I've ever seen. He had 153 return yards against Columbia and then had 142 receiving yards against Shelbyville. Like I said, based on the two games I've seen MCHS play in, and comparing like opponents (MCHS played Fairview in the preseason), I'd think MCHS might be a 2-3 score winner.

Creekwood lost to Fairview, who Marshall handled pretty easily in a preseason scrimmage. Until I see something from Marshall County that gives cause for concern, I'm not picking against them. After two games, only team I think that may give them issues is Pearl Cohn. Marshall has been dominant so far.

Man, what a game. Had Marshall County played a cleaner first half, could very well have been a different outcome. That fourth quarter was a lot of fun.

Given the parity with the remaining games of the schedule, I can see Forrest winning out with the exception of Marion. I believe they will win at  Moore Co then win at home against Summertown in a defensive battle, since neither team has shown much offense. Traveling to Marion will be too much to ask and will most likely end in defeat, unless Forrest finds some offense. The game at Cascade could be for the region championship. Going to Richland won't be a gimme and Coach Patterson will have his team ready and playing hard. I think the game with East Robertson is a trap game considering that they have soooooo much talent. Mt. Pleasant is probably a year away from competing for a region championship, but not a game to sleep on. The remaining games will all be tight games that could go either way. If Forrest wins the region they will win a playoff game or 2 to finish with a successful season.

I don't see Forrest winning out. Cascade will win and Mt. Pleasant will win by two-plus scores. Cascade's defense has been lights out so far this year.

The last time Marshall County played at Tullahoma was the 2nd round of the playoffs last year. The Tigers fought with each other at halftime and Tullahoma rolled to an easy win.

This game will be very physical. The Tigers may be more dangerous with Davis at QB. Tullahoma plays great team defense and tackles very well. Ryan Scott has played solid at QB for the Wildcats.

Tullahoma 38-20.

The problem with Davis at QB is you lose your top playmaker at WR. They still have talent there, but there's no doubt Davis is the best player on offense. 

What a game to watch. Neither offense did much in the second half, but the Inmon kid was showed out tonight for Cascade. That defense is for real. 

Having seen Cornersville, I think they're as in a good of a position as anyone to make a run. They completely handled Richland in Week 1 and really played shut down defense against Forrest last week. They have a healthy stable of backs, but the real strength of this team is on the line. I would think Cornersville wins by 2+ scores. 

Haven't seen a topic yet, what's everyone's thoughts on this one? Scouting report on either?
