I think Latham was deserving as well.  Congrats to Bishop, he's a good kid.  Not many players of his caliber stick it out at Karns, all most all the really good ones go play elsewhere.  

I think they were all deserving but Dowell really deserved it the most.  Only one player in history of Tennessee ever had a better rushing season and they did it in 15 games not 12 and he was only about 150 yards off that.  

from Dowell!  Makes me sick, he had nearly 800  more yards rushing and 10 more touchdowns than Bishop and a better record.

Let's try to settle this once and for all.  White County had a tremendous season, as I told several of their fans exiting the game.  Their two talents on offense are TREMENDOUS high school football players, are either SEC level talent, no, but there is nothing wrong with that.  They are still excellent players with a ton of talent.  The difference in the game is that you need a team, 11 players on both sides.  I said before the game if Nolensville got 1 stop per quarter they would win, they got the stops, and they got the win.  How many times did Nolensville punt?  ZERO!  The team put up 14 points each quarter, despite running 1/2 as many plays as WC.  Why?  Because White County had no answer for the offensive talent on NHS.  I saw a post earlier about how WC scored more on NHS than anyone all year, this is true, because WC had two truly exceptional offensive players, BUT NHS also scored the most they had all year, WHY, the sub-par defense played by WC.  It was a great game, close in the 4th quarter, but NHS never trailed.  At the end of the day the question was which defense had the better chance to stop the opponents offense, and that answer was clearly Nolensville.  Now, onto Page the Rematch.

We def had no answer for all the offensive talent NHS had.  They played a clean game and for the most part were very sportsman like.  I have nothing bad to say about NHS, they took care of business and they have a very explosive offense.  I do not think they will win it all because their defense is not great.  They will either exit this week to Page or lose to West.  Either way they are having an amazing season and I am sure it is a great time to be a Knights fan.  If they do make it to Chattanooga I will do my best to go watch, I live right outside Chattanooga.  I am proud of the warriors and their season, there are some really good kids on this team.  Moving down to 4A and playing mostly local teams should really help them.  They have no business plying Nashville area schools every year, the talent gap year in and year out is too big.

You were absolutely wrong about this game. I knew from your comments before the game that if you were wrong(which you were wrong) that you wouldn't admit it. No surprise here. They couldn't stop our duo just like nobody else could.

Bro you are wasting your breath , we don’t need his validation.  He gets his kicks by trolling people on a high school football board.  You know what they say about arguing with fools so let it go.  I don’t need him to admit he was wrong I was there lol I saw the hush over their crowd late in the 4th when we cut it to a 6 point lead.

There will be some really good talent on the field tomorrow night.  Dowell, Fitzgerald and many others will be playing on Saturdays soon.  Congrats to Taylor Wein of Nolensville.  I read his Division I offers are coming in.  Offers from Oklahoma, Southern Cal and Virginia Tech to name a few.

I watched some film on him and he is big and has a great motor but good lord to be that big 80% of his highlights no one attempts to block him at all.  His size s def what the scouts drool over, they will add 20-30 pounds to him and make a player out of him.  Does he play any offense?  Also what other players do we need to watch?

You had better buckle your chin strap when tackling 7, hes a dog for sure.  MJ, whats his stats this year?

I’m just not sold on WC and yes, I have been picking Nolensville all season. We can look at this multiple ways… White County lost to Wilson Central while Nolensville beat them by 38. That said, I’ve learned this is not the year to try to compare scores. I simply think Nolensville is a far superior team. Nothing to do with comparing scores, just my take from the film I’ve seen. 

I know injuries are no excuse but Dowell was hurt that game and only carried the ball 6 times.  Lets face facts, this is a totally different team when 6 isn't in the game.  If he is healthy no way we lose that game.  Their entire team feeds off Dowell and his big plays.  We can also look at it like Nolensville only scored 21 on FC and we laid a 49 spot on them and the game was not even as close as that score reflects.  Sparta prob had 175 penalty yards, most of them bs.  I think Dowell alone had 3 touchdowns called back on fouls that had no bearing on the play.  So take us lightly if you want but we are going to fight you for every second of the game, these kids are no easy out.  FC players quit half way through the 3rd because they were tired of getting hit.  You better be ready for a hungry hard hitting Sparta squad, we did not even throw a single pass against FC, ran against 10 and at times 11 men in the box.

Don’t sleep on White County!  Opinions on the match up?  I know nothing about Nolansville except they are undefeated and beat Franklin Co last week.

Anyone have the nolansville score?

35-10 with 4 left in 3rd

28-10 10 mins left in 3rd

By no means am I rooting against WC, I’m just trying to be realistic with my thoughts on the playoff matchups. I just think the opposing region has the 3 best teams. Hopefully I’m wrong. 

I got ya, there are no hurt feelings here.  I just enjoy a little trash talk!  It’s all good, I hope you’re wrong too!

And now we resort to me being a snowflake, classy. If being a snowflake is correcting so called facts that were said that were blatantly wrong, then I’ll take the title. I’m not in between anything, you’re arguing with a MJ fan on a topic about FC and WC. I personally think you’re hilarious. In all my years in the sport I can already read the type of person you are. Don’t overshadow these kids great year and turnaround of the program with you trying to live vicariously through them due to your unsuccessful playing career. Probably just had bad coaching or you could have won the whole thing? Sound right? Maybe tonight I’ll dig out my state title rings from the attic and drink a beer for you as I see if the still fit on my fat fingers. Good luck tomorrow to both teams.

Hahaha see there you go trash talk, well done!  Kuddos to your team for giving rings to water boys, not every school does that but they are part of the team too!

Humility is definitely a lacking trait of yours. You guys definitely have a solid team this year. I don’t think anyone has said different. Whatever game you guys do exit the playoffs regardless of who it’s against I can’t wait to hear what excuse will be carried on for years to come. I’m going to say that the odds are on “worst officials I’ve ever seen”. Dowell is a beast, the lines are good, and the qb is good as well, but dang man say something that makes me want to be on the White County train on Friday. Act like you know how to have a solid program in town and it will stay. Act like this and the train will eventually derail. 

Think what you want, this dude and me been talking trash for awhile.  Its friendly, its not my problem you come in the middle of it with no idea what's going on and for how long and judge my post. I can promise you my comments have zero to do with the train derailing, that happens to everyone eventually so that is no great prediction.  So pump the brakes there Mary, trash talking is part of it.  I respect MJ and I respect FC even though I know nothing about them and I could care less if you want to be on our train!  Don't blame the kids for the fans trash talk brother, support them or don't.  The MJ kids talked hella trash to Dowell before the game, its part of it.  Dont be such a snow flake bro.

Read back on my predictions of MJ as I have them exiting the second round of the playoffs… the only point here is that MJ is just simply better than White Co. lol

You should be better, you prob have over a thousand more students than we do and a lot more athletes but we have the best player on the field both times we have played.  If we are so irrelevant it would make your school look pretty foolish for rushing the field and acting like they just won state when they edged us by 2 points on the last play lol!  I mean if you really have 4-6 D1 athletes on that team you should have killed us.  I only saw one D1 kid on that team and it was the lineman going to UT and he really didn't do much of anything against us, your number 6 got his face smashed in the ground by our number 6.  7 is by far your best all around player but he isn't D1 either, he don't have the speed for that.  Top to bottom yes you have the more talented roster but whether you admit it or not you were scared during that game when Pinion and Dowell were shredding your defense.  You wont admit it but you or your team have no desire to see us again.  Neither of us are winning state but we will have Mr. Football at least.

I stand by this, I called them out earlier this year on that same fact… they hate facts in White Co. I watched the NFHS tape where Dowell played 3 series.. well into the 2nd quarter.

I think you are a closet Warrior fan bro, why you always commenting on our threads when they do not pertain to MJ?  You don't see me stalking your MJ threads.  You crack me up acting like MJ is anything special, correct me if I am wrong but I'm pretty sure you all have the same amount of state titles as Sparta?  I mean you guys are the Georgia of the TSSAA minus the occasional championship Georgia wins every 40 years.  The comparison I'm making is no one does less with the amount of talent than you guys do year in and year out lol and you act like you guys are Maryville or Alcoa!

#6 played against Wilson Central until late in the second quarter. Don’t use the word “entire” if it wasn’t entire. Rivals, injuries, turnovers, playing down, none of that matters. Every team goes through it. If I’m not mistaken FC has been without 3 of there better players since like week 4. Hopefully both teams are healthy for this matchup. Should be a good one.

He had 6 carries, he was hurt from the get go and tried to go.  So yes we didn't have 6, he was a decoy at best.

Then what’s to make of the Wilson Central score or the Cookeville points allowed? I’m pretty sure Franklin Co. are better than MJ, which was the best team you played in the regular season. That being said I don’t think our region stands much of a chance this Friday night other than MJ beating lowly Lincoln Co. 

Well cookeville is our blood rival, much like greenhill is to you.  Wilson Central was a fluke, Dowell did not play that game and we still should have won.  I mean we gonna give up some points, i don't deny that, but we gonna score a lot too.  We beat Green Hill and Dowell was out pretty much the whole second half.  Im not saying we win but it will be a fight.

Fc has about 6-7 pretty serious athletes at the skill spots on offense.  Passing QB (not dual threat) - FC can run it or throw it.  4-3 defense with good size in the DL, good LB group, really good athletes at DB.  OL is fairly experienced, good size at most spots, one smaller guard.

Offense can be fairly balanced, mostly one back/shotgun.  Occasionally will use a FB or H, but don't have a traditional TE this year for the most part.  Explosive plays are offense's nature - a shootout would favor them, imo.  FC is most hurt by a team with similar quality/number of athletes with a power running attack and good run defense/good man coverage secondary.

Team can hurt itself at times with unforced penalties. 

The single common opponent is Warren Co.  Was a win for both, White Co won 22-21: FC won 41-21.

These two groups battled for the middle school championship four years ago when these seniors were all 8th grade.  FC (South Middle School) won, was a good game.  There are several good FC from the other FC middle school, though, in fairness to them.  Doesn't really have a lot to do with this game, but interesting trivia.

Don't be too put off by that warren county game score, that is a rivalry for us and we played down to them.  If we played them 10 times we would win by 2-3 td 9 out of 10 times.

Why would I care about that?  That is their problem if they dont.  How does that take away what these kids have accomplished this year?

Rebels bring a handful of playmakers with a young accurate qb, playmakers will be the Holman twins #1 and #4 running back #7 Jones and #11 Scott , good offensive line, we just had the luxury of being in the same district as Nolensville and Page which were 2 of our losses, hopefully getting some key defensive players back this week that have been out for several weeks!

   

That is a tough region this year it seems.  Dowell is the playmaker but Tripp pinion the QB has over 1000 yards rushing as well. If you key on Dowell too much Pinion will gash you.  Our defense and kicking game is where we struggle, we have a really good pass rush, Bray Fraiser leads the state in sacks with 13 but we give up some big plays.

I think Rebels win just based on the fact white county relies mostly on one player. Shut him down, then your likely to win. But shutting him down is that hard part. I still think Franklin County ends up going to the second round beating  Sparta 35-21

Its a good plan but no one has done it yet.  You wont stop him, you'll have to outscore him.  He has 2600 yards and 35 TD and missed basically the second half of the green hill game and the entire Wilson central game.

That is true, id love a rematch in a few weeks.
