I don't think it is fair to keep thrashing the FC  coaches. Keep saying you have the best athletes all over the field but against McKenzie you really did not. Mck. had you matched athlete for athlete all over the field. The difference is 2 things FC just could not match what Cassidy brings to the table @ QB it is like having a coach on the field and having a kicking game.

explain how Fayetteville has 4 players on the East team for the East v West game. the only other school in the state at a glance with 4 is Oakland on the West. McKenzie has one, and it isn't even the Mr. Football. 

i think re-working the brackets would help at least a little. this year-in, year-out cookie cutter TSSAA bracket for the playoffs is dumb. some options:

rotate the regions so people play different teams in the playoffs each year

seed them into quadrants of 1-8 based on record and SOS and don't bother with regions at all in the playoffs

there's no reason for the east/west line. if the two best teams in the state are on the same side, then they shouldn't meet until the championship. i think i read on here that georgia's championship game hasn't had a north vs south game in several years, and that's how it should be as long as the two best teams are meeting

McKenzie 42-7

Tyner 35-21

Anyone here going and providing updates?

Clay

McKenzie

Tyner

Huntingdon

Special teams if you think MASE doesn’t practice special teams you are not correct sir!

They will be ready Coach Miller has played Peabody twice in 2018 and 2019 I promise he knows what to expect out of Peabody sir!

Great day and night for football!!

I don't think he was saying MASE doesn't practice special teams. In fact, I think he was saying the teams are so evenly matched defensively and offensively that it's going to come down to the difference in special teams

@jtm52k ^ you asked my take.

yeah, I just went back and found it. Thanks! While I respect your opinion, and you're probably correct in the breakdown, I hope your pick is wrong...both for the Tigers and my pick count!

Last year, we had to sit in the visitors bleachers to broadcast our game on the radio.  We had a generator for power. By the end of the game, we had frost on all of our equipment.  Here is the weather for Friday.

Man, I hate to hear that. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure what Fayetteville's standard practice is for visiting broadcast teams. I do know they're usually doing it from the visitor's side in away games....they're usually sitting right behind or next to me. My sister usually tries to get them something to eat or drink.

Lol.

If I were predicting a blow out it would read 95-3.  

Haha yeah I know, I've seen. I think I saw the story behind it once, too. That's why it was so funny for a second...thought you were predicting an even bigger blowout.

What's your take on this game? I don't think I've seen your pick yet.

Though both teams have a strong defense and it was on full display last meeting. I’m going out on a limb here because of the athleticism and speed that both teams have at the skill positions. Both teams will score a lot and i predict big plays from both . 34-29 McKenzie 

Hope you're wrong, bud. I know McKenzie wants this win, but the Tigers are hungry. They've wanted this game since last year. And honestly, the fans have too.

@CoachT, time to lock this thread….. It has gone way beyond LC vs MASE. 

i tried

i'm from the area. i have family in that school. those stats are pretty accurate. whites are not the minority at the City high school

Also fun facts:

The demographics of Lincoln county, TN is 86.1% white and 6.1% black as of 2021. You want to put them all in the same high school and you get about what I predicted by math in the post above. The City high school is a lot more diverse than both the County (geographic) and County (school). 

Tell me again how City high school is segregating the community.

@IPOPU2022 you seem like a pretty cool dude but you were also posting about the "segregation" in a couple different areas. Read above

This is the exact reason why splitting the schools was terrible. If LC is racist then how do you figure City ain’t? Any human race can be racist towards another. Don’t let a smiling face fool you. It’s adults that are hurting the kids. We are failing our kids as a community with the segregation of schools 

as of 2018-2019 school year, Fayetteville High School was 31% black and 54% white, with enrollment at 364. Lincoln County was 1% black and 89% white with enrollment at 1134. If you do the math, combining the schools would give you an enrollment of 1498, with 8% black and almost 81% white. 

the state average for schools is 22% black and 60% white, which still aren't great numbers. 

that being said, the City high school has a demographic closer to state average (better than state average, I'd argue) than the County school, and combining them would have a minimal effect.

unrelated to your post, but someone somewhere was arguing the student to teacher ratio was worse at City than County....for the record, the same school year (18-19), the ratio was 15:1 (state average) at City and 17:1 at County (worse than average).

Come on up to the pressbox and say hello if you get a chance. 

You seem like a pretty cool guy in these forums. You keep a level head and keep everything focused on the boys and the game, with a plug here and there for your broadcast. I appreciate that. Just wanted to let you know. Good luck to both teams.....but also GO TIGERS!

Physical is what they pride themselves on sir! They are very physical up front and will continue to be physical upfront! To them it doesn’t  matter who they play because those kids have a chip on their shoulder from all the talk about weak schedule and hadn’t played anybody. They are from Memphis that’s on the River what does the cold weather  have to do with this game!

They will be ready when the whistle blows Friday night at Melrose in the Mound baby!

Peabody is very well coached team!

Unfortunately, through no fault of their own, they did have the weakest regular season schedule in all of 1A. Towards the end of the season they seemed to be getting a little more respect, at least here on CoachT. They made it this far, which is probably farther than anyone east of Memphis thought they would get in week 6. Honestly, I think they're going to give Peabody a really good game. For me, it's a toss up. And since I don't have a horse in this particular race, my only interest is in who wins and how they play. One week at a time, right?
