The problem with playing BA is its like playing poker where the publics are playing 5 card stud and the privs are playing draw - with an unlimited number of draws. We've got to play with the 5 we're dealt with and you get to draw for all aces. Thats a tough game to win. Frankly, as a Brentwood booster I'd like to see us play BA again. It seems starting your year with a loss to BA is a sure way to land in the Boro and win a gold football (Bwood 02, Rwood 05) .

Congratulations rap10. As grating as I find your play by play on channel 9 i still listen every saturday, its like a horror movie - you can't stop watching the screen even though you know its gonna scare you to death. If i was raptor fan i'd love ya and i hope they do, i'm sure "too cool" does, these kids deserve it. Its an amazing accomplishment in only 3 years . As a bruin fan its hard to pull for the Raps but we need to stick together and show the east tn folks that we play some pretty good football here in mid tn (despite what happened to Goodpasture). So go get 'em Raps for Brentwood, Williamson Co. and Region 6 !

Everyone seems to have forgotten there were 3 finalists for 5A back. After watching Jennings tear apart Brentwood twice this year I wouldn't overlook him. Come Saturday evening he may prove you all wrong.

Try this. Its got more than the school site but if you bought a game program (I did) and subscribe to the Tennessean (I do) there's not much there. http://www.ravenwoodathletics.org/Football.html

Go to Brentwoodfootball.com for the full and biased BHS view of the game. Good luck Raps. You've really caught lightning in a bottle with T.C. He's the real deal. May have to head down Wilson Pk Friday to see how he does against a speed team. Lets see another Gold Football come home to Brentwood, Williamson County and Reg. 6!

Was in total agreement with your post about the refs until I realized you were talking about the flagrant roughing the kicker penalty. I thought you were talking about the phantom pass interference call against the Bruins late in the 4th quarter that reversed an interception and sustained your final field goal attempt drive. We came home and watched the video replay on local cable and saw our kicker clearly knocked to the ground. Later we saw no one in a green shirt near the pass that was picked off. The closest player who must have been the intended receiver didn't get up looking for the penalty flag, but got up mad that he let the ball get picked off and ran straight to the sidelines holding his head. Except for the kickoff out of bounds in the first half you weren't penalized until the 4th quarter. Between the penalties and the atrocious spots by the officials, we were treated to "home cooking" all night long. And speaking of home cooking, I hope all of the fans who booed as our kicker was carried off of the field are proud of how the acted and of the fine example they set for high school kids. I suggest you get bigger home stands so the visitors don't have to sit through a similar disturbing display of sportsmanship coming from their side of the field. Other than that, great game. Glad to see someone in Region 5 that can make it past the 1st round. With all of your juniors we're sure to see you again soon.
