This one hurts. We gave it away. Up 17-6 with 5 min to go we fumble a punt snap. Bucs tackle the punter inside the 30 and then score to make it 17-12. 3 min to go we drop another punt snap inside our 20. Bucs score with 40 sec to go to win it. Proud of our players for an outstanding effort against a top team. Good plan by the coaches to limit the high powered offense of the Bucs. Didn’t win but showed that we can compete at a high level.

Looking forward to playing a very good Bucs team on Friday night. Stingy on D and the same power running game they have every year. Commandos have to continue to improve especially up front to stay in this one and have to cut down on the penalties that have plagued them for the first 3 games. Can’t let Parks and Jefferson hit any long ones. Temps will be in the high 90’s in the afternoon so I expect a record night at the concession stand. Go Commandos!

Hville 48 SC 7 Don’t see SC winning a game.

Commandos hope to make it 2 in a row as they travel to face the Bison. Better performance against Giles County last week with no turnovers and forcing 4 Bobcat turnovers. Need to continue to get better up front and cut down on the penalties. Looking forward to a 5 mile trip versus 93 last week. Go Commandos!

Wave 24-7

I suspect the running clock will be utilized tomorrow night early in the 2nd half. It will get ugly fast.

Looking forward to my first trip to Pulaski for Hville and Giles Co. Eat at our favorite restaurant in Franklin and then head to Giles County. Good week of practice for the Commandos, need to eliminate the big mistakes and lets play physical football against a very good Giles Co. team.

Overall the teams discussed on this thread are down this year. Beech is better, Gallatin is a lot better, not convinced about WC yet because Springfield is way down. MJ, Hville, Lebanon, and SC are not as good as last year. MJ lost 9 starters on D, a lot of playmakers on O and it showed tonight. Hville lost almost everybody up front on both sides of the ball and it showed tonight. SC returned only 5 starters and it showed tonight. Lebanon lost Crite, Ligon, and others and it showed tonight. Hats off to Gallatin, Beech, and WC on their wins tonight.

Hville led 24-0 the half and won 38-21 in 5 quarters. RC turned it over 3 times

Hendersonville scrimmaged them Friday night. Very physical style on both sides. On offense they run Wing T and play smash mouth running a lot between the tackles. Only threw it 4 or 5 times. On D they play 3-4. Not a great deal of speed. Their guys play hard and they will hit you.

When you play 3 pre season top 10 teams in 6A, (Oakland, MJ, Indy) , the pre season number 1 team in 5A plus a very good Giles County program, a Gallatin team who I believe will win 7-8 games this year, a Lebanon team team who I believe will win 7-8 games this year and then throw in WC, SC , and Rossview it will be the toughest schedule we have ever played.

Hville led 24-0 at the half 1 vs 1 against Rhea County. Final score ended up 38-21 in 5 qtrs. Good effort not always the best execution. We have to get a lot better especially up front on both sides of the ball to be competitive against our extremely tough schedule. We go to Stewart’s Creek Monday and hopefully will get back several injured starters who didn’t play tonight. Hats off to Rhea County, their guys played really hard and very physical. Good luck to the Eagles this year.

Hville Hosts Rhea County on 8-9 Goes to Stewart’s Creek on 8-12 Macon County Jamboree on 8-16

Great night for district 9AAA in the Region 5AAA tourney tonight. Hendersonville defeats defending state champ Rossview 8-3 and Station Camp defeats Clarksville 8-2. The Commandos and Bison will meet at SC Wednesday night for the region title.
