  1. Congratulations to the Eagles - that's 5 of the last 6 years for Region 6 5A to reach the finals. Saw the Bruins play both teams this year with pretty much the same result. Sonny Gray is the real deal and you have to be impressed with Indy's sophomore QB Alex Heckman getting the job done. It should be a great game.
  2. Hmmm, I wonder if its the same Will Co HC that insisted this year's football banquet must be in December instead of January like it usually is. /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="
  3. Jaron is a true freshman at UT Chattanooga, where he's playing defensive end. He's seen some playing time, logging a handful of tackles so far this year. Expect the Bruins to give it their full effort tomorrow. Everyone is healthy and there may be some new wrinkles to the scheme. Also, I'm not so sure that having a bye week before a big game is such a positive thing. Brentwood always seemed sluggish coming off the bye in seasons past. Thankfully they've done away with it this year. Good health to both teams and lets settle it on the field.
  4. Same to ya 5A. You were much improved last year - hope that trend continues. Good luck against the rest of Region 3. Enjoyed our series the last 2 years. Wish we'd play more eastern bracket teams that aren't from Rutherford County.
  5. Rap, you were lurking around the wrong part of campus. Since it will be some time before you get to see it again here's a picture of it in its current resting place. Its more a motivational tool than a trophy. Plus there's no room in the trophy cases thanks to the all of the other state championship trophies. Also, CoachT should give you and 5AFootballFan a commision on my Plus membership, which you guys forced me to buy to take back control of this Brentwood thread! I didn't see any news on college signings for the Raps. Any word on Cleckner, Thompson, Snoeyenbos, Laidlaw, Williams, etc.? Can't wait til spring practice!
  6. Congratulations to the 5 players from Region 6 that made it. Hard to believe that 2 of them didn't make the All-region team. And only 1 player from the top 3 teams in the region makes it, but 4 from the 4th place team. Maybe this should be called the all-playoff team. I guess I should serve some cheese with these sour grapes!
  7. "I NEVER in a million years would have thought I'd say this, but Ravenwood fans have stooped lower than their neighbor Bruins on arrogance. " Arrogance? OUCH! Mc9, are we that bad? A little sympathy please. Whereas the rest of you only have to put up with R'wood once or twice a year, we get it year round. At least we got it year round. I would hope that the Finals loss and this year's 19-16 victory in the Battle of the Woods will silence the "We still own you" chants that were endured all last year. Was at the Final game and like everyone else, I was amazed that the team ran to R'wood side of the field. I'd been reading the posts and knew that emotions were running high, but never would of expected that. I didn't see any obscene gestures from my vantage point but I did see things thrown out of the stands at the players on the field. Somehow that mom in the newspaper failed to see (or mention) that.
  8. Don't know about the other schools but here are the Bruins that made All-Region: Jaron Norfleet - Defensive lineman of the year Matt Hayes - QB Robert Stone - OL Alex Holling - RB Kyle Woods - DB Bobby Jewell - LB
  9. That's my point. They always say, D wins championships (whoever "they" are). You beat Oak Ridge last year with defense (and that fake punt by T.C. that was probably the best play I saw all last year). And in my opinion you're going have to play like that again. Not saying you can't. If you look at the non-blowout final 5A games this century, total points scored have been 21 or fewer. But who knows? As crazy as this post-season has been, it may end up being a +70 point track meet.
  10. You should have seen the Brentwood Ravenwood game. Both defenses played to a 13-13 tie. The Bwood D stoned them in OT forcing the field goal. The Rwood D collapsed on the first play yielding a 10-yard TD run up the gut-game over. Now the Raps have given up 28 or more points a game to their last 3 playoff opponents and have needed the O to bail them out. Based on points allowed per game its Franklin, Dickson, Bwood, Indy, Rwood.
  11. I'm sorry to break into this lively discussion of dinosaurs, birds of prey and we're better fans than you, but is anyone in the Raptor nation concerned about the defense? Its amazing to be in the finals after giving up 28 or more points per game for the last three games. That's putting a lot of pressure on a young quarterback to score enough points to keep up. There's only so many 21-yard TD passes you can throw on 4th and 6 before the odds catch up with you. Based on our record against both teams I'd have to say Smyrna, but there's something about Rector and his magic kool-ade that makes the Raps hard to beat. If their defense can keep it close I'll have to go with Ravenwood. Should be a great game.
  12. Norfleet was All-state last year and has virtually the same numbers for 2006. Tackles are harder to come by at Brentwood because the coaches determine them from game film and are pretty stingy in passing them out. Tackles are broken down by solo and assists. Judging from the stats in the Tennessean it looks like most teams don't differentiate. He may not be All-state again this year, but judging from the number of Div 1 schools that are scouting him, it's unlikely he'll have to pay for his college education.
  13. Congratulations to HL on a great win. Of all the teams I've watched walk off the field after a game, I don't remember a team more emotionly distraught than the 2004 Warriors that lost that heartbreaker to Brentwood in round 1. So it was nice to see them get the win. Unfortunately the 2nd most dispondent team I've witnessed was the bunch of Bruins that walked out last night. Have to agree with FTT2 on the kicking. The first thing I thought when they waved off the first field goal was that the uprights seemed unusually short. The players on the field thought they made it but the stripe-shirted guys who have the best view in the house disagreed and thats all that matters. The Bruins had 5 chances to score in the kicking game during regulation and only converted 2. Remember that its the kicking GAME and not the kicker, as it takes a snap, a spot, a kick and competent blocking to have a successful try. No excuses, just an observation. Great game Warriors and good luck the rest of the way. Remember the last 2 teams that beat Brentwood in the playoffs (R'wood and Franklin) made it to Murfreesboro and one of them came away with the gold ball.
  14. If they are used they should be inspected before the game by the Ref. We had 2 kids last year that had to leave the field to get patched up for cuts that we believe came from the opponent's visors.
  15. Today's Tennessean has both Becker and Dylan Williams committed to APSU. Tennessean
