Dyersburg should never quit playing Haywood, Crockett County and Milan. I know we are in a new region but what do you gain by playing teams like Martin Luther King, Booker T. Washington and Bolton? Nothing but a false sense of self confidence and three guaranteed W’s.
Play Haywood, Crockett County and Milan plus Dyer County and when the playoffs come you will be battle tested. If you can’t play one of those three play a USJ or Henry County.
It’s a win, win for everybody. You play these ShelbyCounty /Memphis City schools there is no crowd, none of the schools makes anything in concession stand sales and what not , those poor kids you are playing can’t even punt or kick extra points and it’s a joke.
Play those tough schools you are guaranteed a big crowd, a big increase in concession stand revenue and your team plays great competition.
And when the playoffs come you have been in every kind of environment there is plus other than Alcoa you will not meet a team as good or better year in and year out than Haywood, Milan or Henry County and you can’t say “if we would have played them on the turf we would have beat them”
Give it a shot. Even if you lose to those good teams, you win your region games you still make the playoffs.
Just a thought from a loyal Trojan fan in the stands.
