This game is gonna end up on shoulders of blackman QB, they are gonna load up the box and make him beat them much like smyrna did and have 1 or 2 follow mathers all over the field. Don't know his stats in smyrna game but i am pretty sure stats against siegel will not get it done. 4-8-17 1 td 1 int. They have to throw when they want to and not when they have too, only problem is it seems they don't like to throw it much anytime. But when you have rb running for 175-300 yards a game who could blame them. But experience gained will help him in the future both this year and next.

Just curious, what rutherford county high school football field would you consider to be ideal for a game of this magnitude? And don't say Oakland.

Against blackman visitor side full (except for area for band) at 6:10 should put band down along track in temp bleachers for this one that would help some.

You can put me down as a "no"

Then with Smyrna, Oakland, and Blackman all in quad 3 (subject to change) we get to watch it all over again.

One hour before kickoff and no posts, wow is this rivalry officially over?

Yeah, maybe he will go to Brentwood Academy.

In with some good company. Top 10 Toughest Leagues in America 1. Greater Catholic South (Ohio) Archbishop Moeller, 5-0, 3 in state, 18 nationally; LaSalle, 5-0, 14 in state, 167 nationally; St. Xavier, 3-2, 7 in state, 46 nationally; Elder, 20 in state, 241 nationally. 2. Trinity (California) Servite, 4-0, 2nd in state, 7 nationally; JSerra Catholic, 3-0, 79 in state, 725 nationally; St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.), 3-1, 16 in state, 139 nationally; Santa Margarita (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), 3-1, 48 in state, 419 nationally; Orange Lutheran, 2-2, 114 in state, 1,242 nationally; Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.), 1-2, 24 in state, 227 nationally. Long time powerhouse Mater Dei is at the bottom looking up this year, attesting to the overall depth and power in this league. No team in the league ranks lower than 114 in the state of California, which has close to 1,200 teams, meaning all six teams are in the top 10 percent of the state. 3. 5A Region 1 District 8 (Texas) Allen (Texas), 4-0, 8 in state, 78 nationally; Marcus (Flower Mound, Texas), 4-0, 16 in state, 118 nationally; Lewisville (Texas), 3-1, 91 in state, 853 nationally; Hebron (Carrollton, Texas), 3-1, 14 in state, 113 nationally; Plano West (Texas), 3-1, 43 in state, 389 nationally; Plano (Texas), 3-1, 114 in state, 1,056 nationally; Plano East (Texas), 2-2, 133 in state, 1,190 nationally; Flower Mound (Texas), 2-2, 84 in state, 774 nationally. The depth in this league is amazing — all eight teams have at least a .500 record. Three of the teams are also ranked in the top 16 in the state of Texas, a tremendous feat in a state known for its football. 4. South Coast (California) Mission Viejo (Calif.), 4-0, 5th in state, 12 nationally; San Clemente (Calif.), 4-1, 49 in state, 425 nationally; Tesoro (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), 3-1, 42 in state, 379 nationally; Dana Hills (Dana Point, Calif.), 2-2, 76 in state, 696 nationally; Trabuco Hills (Mission Viejo, Calif.), 2-2, 191 in state, 2,262 nationally. Orange County football is pretty impressive, considering that two of the top four leagues on this list consist of Orange County teams. This year Mission Viejo is ranked in the Xcellent 25 presented by the Army National Guard and rising. 5. Big North I (New Jersey) Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.), 3-0, 1st in state, 2nd nationally; St. Joseph Regional (Montvale, N.J.), 3-0, 3 in state, 142 nationally; Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.), 3-0, 2nd in state, 39 nationally; Paramus Catholic (N.J.), 2-1, 69 in state, 3,104 nationally; DePaul (Wayne, N.J.), 1-2, 64 in state, 2,939 nationally. New Jersey is a strong football state and Don Bosco Prep, Bergen Catholic and St. Joseph Regional rank 1-2-3 in the state. Don Bosco Prep is the defending national champion by unapproved website and is currently ranked No. 2 in the country. 6. Catholic Central (Michigan) Catholic Central (Novi, Mich.), 1 in state, 26 nationally; St. Mary Prep (Orchard Lake, Mich.), 5-0, 2 in state, 75 nationally; De La Salle Collegiate (Warren, Mich.), 4-1, 14 in state, 454 nationally; Brother Rice (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), 2-3, 37 in state, 1,237 nationally; University of Detroit Jesuit (Mich.), 2-3, 73 in state, 2,303 nationally. The top two teams in Michigan find a home in the Catholic Central. Even the last place team in the league is in the top 75. 7. MIAA A (Maryland) Calvert Hall (Baltimore), 5-0, 6 in state, 264 nationally; Gilman (Baltimore), 4-1, 1st in state, 15 nationally; McDonogh (Owings Mills, Md.), 3-0, 4 in state, 154 nationally; Mount St. Joseph (Baltimore), 3-1, 26 in state, 1,656 nationally; Georgetown Prep (North Bethesda, Md.), 2-2, 21 in state, 1,525 nationally; Loyola Blakefield (Towson, Md.), 1-3, 67 in state, 4,581 nationally. Three of the top six teams in Maryland are in this league, led by Gilman, which has been among the top 25 in the country all season. 8. 6A District 7 (Tennessee) Oakland (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), 6-0, 1st in state, 63 nationally; Smyrna (Tenn.), 5-1, 4 in state, 114 nationally; Blackman (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), 5-1, 12 in state, 317 nationally; Riverdale (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) 5-1, 17 in state, 407 nationally; Siegel (Murfreesboro, Tenn.), 3-3, 46 in state, 1,471 nationally; LaVergne (Tenn.), 2-4, 104 in state, 3,493 nationally. Four of the top 17 teams in the state of Tennessee reside in this district. 9. Serra (California) Alemany (Mission Hills, Calif.), 4-0, 19 state, 158 nationally; Bishop Amat (La Puente, Calif.), 4-0, 17 state, 151 nationally; Crespi (Encino, Calif.), 3-1, 61 state, 551 nationally; Notre Dame (Sherman Oaks, Calif.), 1-3, 125 state, 1,504 nationally; Loyola (Los Angeles), 1-3, 91 state, 904 nationally. Alemany has come on in the past few years, making this tough league even tougher. Bishop Amat, Crespi, Notre Dame and Loyola all are among the top teams in the Southern Section each year. 10. 6A District 5 (Kentucky) Trinity (Louisville, Ky.), 4-2, ranked No. 1 in state, 66 nationally; Ballard (Louisville, Ky.), 4-2, 11 in state, 641 nationally; Seneca (Louisville, Ky.), 4-2, 28 in state, 1,909 nationally; Eastern (Louisville, Ky.), 3-2, 14 in state, 846 nationally. This league benefits from the presence of Trinity, which is the premier program in the state of Kentucky. Four times in the past five years the Shamrocks have finished No. 1 in the state and in the top 50 in the national rankings. Ballard has also routinely finished among the top 25 in the state the past five seasons. Note: Two leagues ranked by Freeman's rankings, the Steel Valley in Ohio and the 5A District 14 in Florida, were not included in this list because they have fewer than four teams in the league.

Who you like the most?

Being from middle tn I find this thread amusing. You mean to tell me that Gary Rankin is coaching at a school where he can get kids from all over the county ( OOZ ) and even out of the county ( OOC ) if they pay a tuition fee? Turn the clock back about 15 years and listen to all his crying about a little middle tn school that did the same thing, but they did not stay in the classification they belonged (1A or 2A) played up and beat his mighty warriors for the 1995 5A state title. With him leading the charge Div II was created. The next year the "little school that could" turned around and beat Jefferson County for 5A title in 1996. Now if you can get kids OOZ and OOC what is the difference between this school and a private school? Privates may give financial aid, but if it cost 500-1250 in tuition for out of county kids to attend and it cost about 6,000.00 to educate a child per year could you not call the 5,500-4,750 difference financial aid? The money has to come from somewhere. So instead of coming from the school in Div II it comes from the county or the state at Garys school. I just find it amusing that after all he did to get the little school that could out he is doing the exact same thing only using taxpayer/county/state money to do it. If you can't beat em, kick em out, move, and do the same thing they were doing.

Wow big "O" gave up 21 points? Guess that will bring a few people back down to earth.

45-0 Riverdale

Do you really have to ask? Since he has no connection to Riverdale he must not work as hard. Everything revolves around Riverdale and who used to coach there and where they are at now. Even Div II was created because of Riverdale, now that I think of it I believe on the eighth day Riverdale was created.

We don't get no respect is as bad as listening to a drunk in a bar cry why me, why me.

Most impressive thing about this video was every time but 1 they scored they found the referee and tossed him the ball and acted like they had been there before.

Wow good prediction, Missed 2pt conversion with 3.1 seconds left. Final 22-20 Smyrna.

24. Approved Summit High School’s Request for Membership in TSSAA in 2011-12 The new school will be located in Williamson and is planning to open in August 2011. The school will open with grades 9-10 and add a grade each year. Their projected enrollment is 600-800 students the first year with approximately 200-250 additional students each year as grades are added. They plan to offer all TSSAA sanctioned sports at the varsity level. They will be placed in Class AA, District 12 in football, basketball, baseball, softball, and volleyball. Football would be placed in 4A since the projected enrollment would be between the current 4A enrollment numbers of 805-1,065. Summit will compete in District 11, Class A-AA in cross country, golf, girls’ soccer, soccer, and tennis. They will compete in Class A-AA middle in track, District 8 in bowling, Region 6 in individual wrestling, and Region 7 in dual meet wrestling. There is the answer for 4A. 805-1,065 Better yet this explains it all. http://www.tssaa.org/Classifications/2009Classes.htm

3-3 at the half. Won 17-3.

Stupid penalties and personal fouls galore, what is any difference from the last two years at Smyrna. Tssaa should take a look at the fight on the Smyrna sidelines and see if they can help the Smyrna coaches control their own players cause we all know the Smyrna coaches can't. Totally embarrasing when 20 players come off the sideline and jump 2 Gallatin players after the late hit which the ref threw the flag, but no thats not good enough for Smyrna. They have to get their own flags thrown on them to go along with the punches. I am convinced Smyrna will never learn as it has gone on for to long, going on year 3 and still no change. As you can tell I am one totally embarrased Smyrna fan. As for the grades I would give Smyrna B- also and an "F" for class.

Semi: McCallie over Beech Smyrna over Oakland Finals: Smyrna over McCallie

My motto has always been "if you've got it,roll it".

Contacted NFHS and they wrote back and said Colorado, Ga., Missouri, Neb., and Ok. play in the fall. Iowa plays in the summer, Wyoming and South Dakota don't play at all. After thinking back about trips to gulf shores during spring break to play softball, how much more I may have enjoyed spending sring break in OK or Neb. or even Missouri. Missing football games because of 5 tournaments which all 5 started on fri both in town and out of town. So yeah, if I was a high school softball player I would probably agree with the other 42 states and keep it in the spring.

Pretty simple really. If it is run against your team and it works it is a trick play, if your teams runs the same play and it works it is a well executed football play.

Wow, this is what Div II has come to? Been a while since I have been on here.
