Correct. I could see Franklin Co. going to R4 and the new R5 consisting of Tullahoma, Lincoln Co., Columbia, Spring Hill, Lawrence Co., Nolensville, & Page.

Cookeville better have a good run defense or it will be a long night with not many offensive possessions. That Lincoln Co. O-line looked experienced and played better as a group than any I’ve seen this year. Dobbs is a patient runner and hard to bring down.

Impressive LC offense. I thought Tullahoma would be able to get a few stops and win a close one. I don’t think this region is as cut and dried as I thought.

LC was first to break serve. With that run game, that seems big.

I tend to agree. Wildcats have to rely on the formula of Johnson & Johnson.

Could go either way I suppose. Tullahoma has a better offense than last year but the defense has regressed. If I remember correctly, Tullahoma ran away with it last year. I just don’t see how they can be any less than equal to LC. Tullahoma will score. The defense has improved every week. If they avoid penalties, I think Tullahoma gets the W. This one could go down to the final possession. Should be a good game.

I’m still going with my original prediction: Shelbyville, Columbia, Tullahoma, Lincoln Co. I wouldn’t be surprised if 3 & 4 swapped though. We’ll learn a lot Friday when Tullahoma plays Lincoln Co. Tullahoma’s defense is getting better every week. It could be a war of attrition though as i believe Tullahoma has some injuries to deal with now.

End Q3, Tullahoma is up 41-10. Not a clean game by either team or the referees.

Tullahoma up 27-3 at halftime. That’s it. That’s the stat.

Tullahoma 14-3 halfway through the 2nd quarter. Could be worse if not for bad discipline. Too many unsportsmanlike penalties.

Shelbyville has a great rush attack, so unless the Cats fix the run D, that’s a loss. I believe Columbia could be a problem as well. Those should be the only true contests. Lincoln Co. is the only other team that may trip them up but I doubt it. As things are now, I’d say Tullahoma is 3rd behind Shelbyville and Columbia.

Tullahoma is shaky on run D. If they can improve there, they can compete for the region title. If not, they probably finish 3rd and maybe 4th.

It’s been frustrating to watch. Wildcats should be up at least 13-7. There was a missed PI on the pick. The punt return TD was the flukiest thing I’ve ever seen. Cats making small mistakes too.

Tullahoma should win this game. The fact that it’s a rivalry and the Tullahoma run D is a bit suspect makes me think it will be close though. Can’t wait for Friday to get here though.
