DIVISIONII

How does Collinwood compare to Cascade? Just wondering.

respect your opinion......the rest is yet to be seen.....any radio coverage or internet coverage of the game friday night? sounds like a trenches type game....thanks in advance.

to be real honest i think whoever that was that said the da team that cascade played was the best team they palyed in the past 30 years is on some amazing drug that aint been discoverd yet!! i believe last years jo byrns team beat them in a scrimmage by 2 or 3 touchdowns last year. Very untrue. 17 14 with no. 40 not playing but a series and a half. Not worth getting him hurt. It paid off with another Gold ring. Should be a good battle. Cascade is big up front but i know that JBS will be too....country boys on country boys. Friday night lights as the best. Goodluck to all. Davidson is off and will wait another week to battle. Long way from home JBS. Main thing is everyone have fun playing football and drive safely. P.S. is this game on the radio or internet? I would like to hear something on it. thanks in advance

Thanks for the respect. You guys will be fine. We are the only DII team you play. You have a great line on both sides. You will not face a Back like Williams again. I personally think with the line size you have.......a power offense like DA run may be a better fit. You guys are good. Just got to have the right offensive scheme.........Defensively, it was not fair. Like I said, You will not see a Williams in your region. Spoke to 87 on the way out. GREAT KID and huge!!!!!! You guys will be fine. Thanks for stepping up and getting better tonight. A long way from home. Great turnout from cascade.

wow. i figured DA would win, but man, i didnt exspect that score. I picked DA but I did not think it would be that bad.... When you play with a Rattle Snake......you are going to get bit.....Williams had 24 carries....270 yds.....4 td's.....Division II is tough.....you guys will be fine. I HOPE everyone makes it home safely.

ckeck out this video... the Williams kid is for real... The most important thing is everyone have fun. Pray for no rain, no one get hurt and everyone get home safely. No. 27 posted. I know everyone is excited. Two great teams kicking it off. It will be so much fun. DII

Hey, Dll, can you recommend any good restaurant close by? I'm probably meeting up with Logger before the game, so they'll have to serve beer. No restaurants close by really. You should either stop somewhere before you get there or go up one more exit to the Springfield/Jolton exit and come on in to Springfield like you did for the JB game. Agree with poster about nothing there. I do believe there is a Mexican resturant on the exit isn't there? Do not know about serving beer. Recommend you stop in Nashville, maybe in Hickory Hollow area on the way if you take I-24. Just food for thought.

Everyone drive safely and we will see you guys at the show. If you guys can, please log on when you arrive home Friday night. I Would love to hear your input. Thanks and good luck. Hopefully is will be dry. DII

It will be an exciting game just to see where everyone is. Davidson returns the entire line on both sides and a returning backfield. It will be fun to watch.

All most game time. Can not wait. Hope the weather is good. Hate those rainy starts. Davidson and Cascade should be a great non region battle.

wish you well stbulldog. Hope your team, whoever you like, does well. Time will tell. Good luck once again and may we all hope to be in Cookville. If not, there is always next year. Good luck as stated.

Have to agree about the excitement this year with more teams. Do not blame ECS and Webb for moving down. Numbers usually always win. How many students does MUS have? I wonder why the large school in memphis that plays DII AA does not win with their numbers? Is it christan brothers? ECS will hand Davidson their hat if and when they play this season. Christian Brothers is in the top seven of number of state championships in all sports in the state of Tennessee. This is remarkable considering they can't compete in girls sports for state titles, this number reflects only boys sports which makes it even more remarkable. Don't forget to YOU TUBE when Davidson plays ECS, I will watch that. You maybe right....however you never know....I will never speak of something I am not familiar with....While you are in Cookville at the end of the year, why don't see for yourself? I mean while you are there anyway, you can................................oh....i forgot...your a Pope Guy. You probably will not be there. I will be happy to post for you. I suppose if I was due another O FER I would not be happy either. I respect every team and any team can be beat on a given night. Good luck to Pope as well. No hard feelings stbulldog and hope you get to feeling better.

We have a good team. Justin is good....however the lines... both sides and a great D......you guys are known in Nashville for being tough. You guys battled GP for several years. We enjoyed the fun. No. 79 is huge. You do not need a backer behind him because he can move. Love to see what those big DE/TE do this year. You guys are really good. Make sure the Team knows that. Good Luck, DII

We at Davidson enjoyed the scrimmage with Camden Friday night. A long way to go for a scrimmage, however, it was still fun. Camden was very respectful as well. Hope you guys have a great season and goodluck with the 6'-3" DE/TE dude.....he was a very nice person/player. best DII

Does anyone out there think there is a chance they will play in the post season? I really enjoy playing against the great coaching staff that St. George has. Gonna miss FACS SBEC St. George Harding and others if we don't get a chance to see them. Maybe someone from the west can give us an update on those schools.

wondering how Camden fits in thie year in the west. Read the thread so far and not a lot of talk about them. They always seem to come to play year in and year out. Just wondering. We played them Friday night. Read about this big TE/DE dude. On offensive he did not do alot, maybe planned it that way, however, on defense he was very good....has a nose for the ball. They also had a lineman #79 all of 300+ lbs that would move....lol....don't even need a backer behind him. Just wondering what you guys think of them this year. They were also a very repsectful team on the field, not like some we have had in the preseason. Good luck to all....1A and 2A has a lot of talent this year. DII

That is cool. I remember # 40 scored in the first series...then in the second.....two guys stood him up and big man came in....wow.....not worth it.....so proud you guys did what you did last year. That maybe him that you mentioned. I heard from someone in the area that he did not even play until his JR year or something like that? I remember he as corn fed and tall as well. I wanted you guys to beat Trousdale so bad. Some WKU people were there that night...did not know....our kicker went on to UTM. He scored the winning field goal in the east/west game at carson newman. It was just not worth getting #40 hurt. You think you guys will play tough this year? I know that CASCADE is always tough......

lol....I was there.....BYRNS won 13 10....#40 did not play alot.....you guys hit hard....did not want to take a chance on him being hurt in a scrimmage......dont you remember? big dude in the middle hit hard....corn fed.... is he going to play college anywhere? he was a big dude

I have been reading the CASCADE thread It seems like you guys had a great season last year. Your coach has created a tough early schedule which will indeed make you better in the end. I have to say though that there was someone earlier in the thread that said Davidson Academy can not beat tough 1A schools. I care to differ alot. lol Ask the Jo Byrns' coaches about an under the lights scrimmage we had with them in red devil country....preseason Ask a Good Jackson Christian Team (2A) we beat last year in Bear Country wich made it to the semi's Ask Marlon Brown and Harding Academy about the State game. (#1 player in the state that chose Georgia) Ask BGA what they think? It will be a great opening game......can not wait.....I want to give you guys a big welcome to bear country with the states leading rusher.

Davidson Academy in week 4? Welcome us to Trojan Country Sounds like it will be a good game.

thanks, that is a lot of students for a private school. Has to be the largest in the state i suppose. Wish them luck.

Have to agree about the excitement this year with more teams. Do not blame ECS and Webb for moving down. Numbers usually always win. How many students does MUS have? I wonder why the large school in memphis that plays DII AA does not win with their numbers? Is it christan brothers?

ESC and Knox are in DII A this year

Do not know who will win it at this point. Just a short video of SBEC and marlon brown with Justin as a Sophomore
