red patriot

Melrose is much better!!! Melrose "D" this year and in years past is stronger than Maplewood. Maplewood offense a little better than Melrose. I would rather face Maplewood than Melrose again. Good luck to both teams. Injury free I pray.

I agree! There are a few who have been in the shadows who will step right in and not miss a beat! Congrats Pats on a wonderful season!! Look forward to next year. It just keeps getting better!!!!

The Tennessean is picking Melrose to win 21-19. His picks were 9-1 last week. The guys are used to being the underdog and love proving everyone wrong! Calling all the Big Red Nation- WE NEED THE STADIUM PACKED WITH RED. WE MUST BE LOUD AND ON OUR FEET!!!!!! THE CROWD CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THIS GAME!!!!!!! The boys deserve home field advantage. Many of these boys went into the Mound and beat the Wildcats last year. All that travel with the team know our away crowd is louder than our home crowd and that is sad. PLEASE be there and be VOCAL!!!! Get there early or you will find yourself standing. Melrose will pack OUR side of the stands if you don't. This game is the WEST TN STATE CHAMPIONSHIP - Treat it that way! GO BIG RED!! Show the state what we all know - THE BEST IN THE WEST!

Congratualtions BIG RED!!!! Hope all enjoyed last night's hard fought game. Fans must be VOCAL from the get go!!! Why are Jackson Sun and Commercial Appeal game score for last night 48-34? Was it not 55-34? Did the last score not count? Not a big deal. A win is a win. Just wondering?

My apologies! I just don't want people getting the impression we are taking anything for granted. As I stated, Henry County knows that Hardin County is the real deal. What type of offense does Hardin run? More pass or run? What size line? How is the kicking game? The quarterback 2 years ago had a pretty good arm. Passing or running quarterback? What kind of team speed? How does the speed compARE TO Henry County's? To the Henry County fans- PLEASE travel with the Patriots to Savannah!!! We travel well and need to this week. I hope the fans remember the announcer from Savannah! Is there a bus going? If it left early enough to stop and eat I believe more people would take advantage of the service. Just passing along comments from others that said they did not ride in the past because they wanted to stop and eat.

Guarantee you Henry County is not taking Hardin for granted! They have the utmost respect for them. Don't be so sensitive. Guess we know where your alligence lies.

Calvin's first play from scrimmage - 54 yard pass completion. Calvin runs it in from the 2 yard line to tie game. You can listen to the game from the following link. http://www.wnsr.com/Listen%20Live%20NOW!.aspx Good luck Calvin from your Henry County faithful!

Believe me the horns and bells are there regardless of the amount of people at the game. You must have shown up when most of our fans had left due to the score at halftime! During the playoffs when the stands were full there were still the bells and all. Officials made the mistake of not allowing the horns to be blown during one game- the crowd was so loud the players said they were less distracted with the horns! As far as the low turnout - We consistently have more fans at away games then the home team! As long as the horns are not blown when the opposing team is trying to get off their play, it should not matter. I, for one, love to see the fan support. It is nice to see fan support especially nowadays when so many kids are lacking parental support. Just look at another thread diuscussing the lack of support in Nashville.

He is a former player who loves his alma mater. Nothing wrong with that. He is actually playing college ball and starting as a freshmen. Don't be so hard on him. We need our faithful. It is easy to get caught up in the talk on here. He was responding to another post. HCHS football player- Be careful what you post- it could come back to bite us! Thanks for your support!

Not bad! Lets not get too cocky. Wait until we have finished our mission. Then we will have the right to do all the bragging we wish. We still have work to do before then. Do you know if Northside has any other players of interest? What type of offense, all Mann? What about their kicking game? How do we compare there? There d-line is big, so I hear, how does it compare to ours? Northside fans - where are you?

I seldom post but read the forum frequently. Where are the red faithful? I hope no one (fans) is taking this game for granted!!! I know the players won't! We (the fans) can NOT afford to sit idly by this week. Anything can happen on any given friday night. Please come out and bring the bells and horns as the team works their way to a region title. It is senior night and they deserve your support. Mann is the real deal but one player does not make a team nor win a game by himself. The patriots have been playing as a TEAM since the ONE let down of the season. I am confident that they will continue their mission together and show Mann and company what they are made of. What type of offense does Northside run? Is it all Mann or do they have any other players to look at? Do they pass at all? I hear their d-line is huge. How do they compare to the patriot line? Are they very deep or do many play both ways? I've noticed we are playing more players both ways so I don't know that depth really matters. What do you think?

On the freshman class - "When you sign freshmen, you really don't know what you have until they get into camp," said Webster. "We have been very pleased with the progress of these players and pleased with the quality our evaluations of them as players." Webster singled out several players as those making a difference in camp, they are; Calvin McNairl (quarterback), Sherman Carter (offensive line), Ronnie Powell (wide receiver), Sidney Tarver (linebacker), Rennie St.Feur (linebacker), Jonathan Moore (wide receiver) and Rico Council (linebacker).

Congrats to the Big Red! Lots of players stepped up last night! There were a few questions going into the game and I believe the team made a statement last night! Carry the momentum into practice and keep the barrel at home, where it belongs! To the patriot faithful: Lets carry the momentum of the playoffs into the stands. Let the patriots know you are there. Thanks to the horn man for making the trip to Clarksville. I know the guys were proud to see ya!!!

THANKS!!

As I have stated all year, 12th man makes a huge difference!!! Don't worry we have the crowd coming. Everywhere I went on Wednesday people were talking about the game. They are confident about their Patriots! Last week I noticed people spreading out so that they could keep crowd roaring throughout the stands. It will be even louder this week! As you said, everyone is talking about the game! HC is hungry, fans and team! The crowd can't be quiet one second! I urge all faithful to remain standing throughout the game. Game is never over until the end of the fourth quarter!!!!!!! Remember tail gate 2:00, live broadcast starting at 5:00

NO WAY combined do they have 1500. I have students there and know. This is a retirement and tourist community. Looks like you might be a little afraid your team may be facing us!

Good Luck to #33 for White Station from Henry County! If any posters see this pass it along to 33 please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Coach t strength of schedule HC #3 Hillsboro #53 Coach t strength of schedule plus success HC #8 Hillsboro #3 I would say that holds your water! Seems pretty even to me. Should be an excellent game. HC with the home field crowd! GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will have to wait longer......You're waiting now,,,,, we are still playing this Friday!

I believe you are just trying to get HC doubting themselves! It won't work! It just fires them up more: ask Melrose. If you saw them play just say which games you watched. GO BIG RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HC will play harder against Hillsboro than they did against Melrose. Believe it or not, they are fired up more for this game! They will have a larger and louder crowd than at Melrose, College Game Day atmosphere with radio broadcasting from 5:00, tail gate starting at 2:00, and coaches that will open up play book if they need to!

My understanding is on the practice field , close to the guys!!! Also, young kids can play out there while parents tailgate. Fans need to bring signs in support of team. I for one will not support Dairy Delight if they REFUSED to support the Patriots by putting something on their sign. It doesn't cost a dime to do that , but it will cost them business!!!!!! It's not like they are competing to support 2 High Schools!!!!! To those that have supported them, you will not be forgotten, PARIS REALTY. No one has answered the question of what type of defense Hillsboro runs. Anyone in the know? What is overall team size? Shotgun or I formation? What is their kicking game like?

Advantage HC. Tell them they are going to get beat!! That just drives them more! They have been the underdog throughout the playoffs. No one goes to the Mound and beats Melrose. Memphis teams are too fast for Patriots! HC no pass defense, East will win, HC no pass defense, Fairley will win! Hillsboro faster, can run, pass, best defense. Hillsboro will win. Keep telling Patriots they can't win!

Since you were at the game, out of curiosity, did you notice the line for Fairley tackling(hoding) all night long? It wasn't called.

??????? Hope your team thinks like you do, looking ahead!
