i havent watched Creek Wood play this year but they are returning so much talent. they have some kids on the team that can play. not sure how the battle for the district starters is turning out... ROP???

From what i hear is that Creedwood is returning all of thier pitchers, however i heard they aren't exactly kids you can put on the hill with confidence.

I don't know about Sycamore 'having the best talent for years'. Harpeth's had about 12 sign scholarships in the last little while. From about 2005-2007 they were as solid as anyone. Josh Knight could be an Indian killer from time to time, but I don't think Harpeth took a back seat to anybody in 11AA in those years.

 

I'm going to take a shot at predicting the district. I haven't seen a scrimmage yet, so this is by the seat of my pants. Harpeth is really young, but they have solid freshman and sophomore classes. They're a year away imo.

 

1. Creekwood

2. Sycamore

3. Waverly

4. Fairview

5. Harpeth

6. Montgomery Central

7. Stewart County

8. Cheatham

Please explain putting creekwood at number one. not arguing just want to hear your reasoning.

My source on Sycamore says that they are appearing to be a solid defensive team and a decent hitting team. With 4 or 5 experienced seniors they should be in the hunt for a district title if the district is down again. I would be willing to bet that no district 11aa team will get out of regions anyway..

Let me correct this comment above, if the district is down then sycamore will win it. They will be in the hunt regardless. even if every other team is good.

You are crazy howard has class them coaches teaches them alot but sycamore will not win this game howard jst to fast they havent seen speed their speed is like florida howard is jst to fast /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" /> /popcorneater.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":popcorneater:" border="0" alt="popcorneater.gif" />

I dont even wanna know who wrote this. All i have to say is howard is not quite up to floridas level and it showed cause the "slower" team of the two man handled the "florid like" team.

I think you have been mis-informed about Howard's coaching. Their line play does get sloppy from time to time, but their QB and backs can use their SPEED to fill the void. Don't get the false assumption that they just have speed, there is more to this bunch than that. I think what smoke is trying to say is that SPEED does become an issue when the ball gets into the secondary, and that my friend is when the action begins. I have not Sycamore play, don't know anything about them - but I do know that Region 4 is tough. Bottom line, it will be hard to win at Howard this year.

Man i hate to say i told you so but i cant resist. Does speed win games now? All im going to say is that i was exactly right in my previous statements. Speed isnt that big of an issue. Coaching is the top priority. The way these teams prepare is what is gonna win games and it was obvious that sycamores coaching staff had this team much more prepared. Either that or Howards coach isn't worth his salt. Good luck next year!

speed doesn't matter?! you kiddin me?! howard will go over the top and to the house. speed doesn't matter...wow

Ok i have to say one more thing for my man smokey04, speed is a great thing to have but its not what wins games my man. I would like to say that anyone that knows how to buckle up some shoulder pads would know that. All i have heard from you is how speed is gonna take howard to the super bowl. Did it ever ring inside your head that sycamore has played a couple of games this season so they may know what speed is. I mean unless the kids at howard are running some 4.3 fourty times then the speed issue isnt going to be the deciding factor to this game. I guess you didnt play much ball since you think the howard speed is whats gonna carry yall to the state championship. Brother is takes alot more than speed. Coaching being the biggest thing, and from what i hear yall are a little below par in that department. Expect a good game and drop the speed issue.

i dont know if anyone has seen but howard has no class.. they trash talk and push the other team around after the whistle blows.. ill be looking for the officials to step up in this one and call a lot of penalties... look at some history.. last time sycamore was in the playoffs they were and four seed and everybody talked how meigs was so good but gary halstead got his team prepared and they went into meigs the first round and handed it to them.. i look for him to do the same this year.

This is the best post on here. Just cause sycamore is a four seed doesnt mean anything. the past two times sycamore has made the playoffs they have hammered a bunch of cocky number one seeds. Oh and whoever is saying book it and making his predictions, the only thing that anyone can book is seeing a good game. Howard is gonna be dirty and sycamore is gonna bust people in the mouth. Its all on who is up when the final second ticks. I would like to also give my opinion on the trading films issue. You can pretty much mark that up as BS. Sycamore isnt that unclassy. Thats just a story made up for the event that sycamore beats another one seed.

This should be an interesting game. Senior night at Harpeth with a win over Sycamore required for a shot at the playoffs. There's certainly incentive there.

Yea its definately incentive but it will never happen. Expect the outcome to be just like the last four years.

Poteete and the rest of the Tiger defense were a lot more ahtletic than Carrigan. Wasn't Carrigan #21? The score should have been worse than what it was. Another thing that hurt Sycamore they could only run. Did not have to cover Sycamore's #8 because the qb didn't have a chance to throw to him because of DeKalb's defense. Good Game Tigers

Poteete and the rest of the tigers defense arent anywhere near as athletic as Carrigan. Thats the dumbest thing i have ever read on here. A win by the tigers doesnt justify you statements either. Carrigan is the most athletic kid at sycamore and he is prolly top five best athletes the ever go to sycamore. Keep in mind Carrigan played the whole game and this whole season with injuries and he is still a factor that teams have to key on.

Well they may can throw, but their QB doesn't compare to Poteete at all. Just wait until Friday and you will have to see to believe he will burn you in a second. He can run and pass so go ahead an try to contain him either way he's good. We'll just have to see.

Well all i have heard about is Poteete and how he is God of Dekalb county. Just remember football is a team sport. One man isnt going to decide this game. Sycamore has played one man and even three man teams in the past and have proved sucessful. So you cant base your prediction off of the ability of one player. I know that athletically player for player sycamore stacks up better. Sycamore has several weapons, Dekalb has one. Its all in how Sycamore is prepared for this game. I know they are beaten up pretty bad right now so you cant expect thier best effort. I mean they are in the playoffs already. There is no point in getting more players hurt or not giving the injured guys time to rest when all this game has to offer is a better seed. It would be different if the seed determined a home or away play off game but it doesnt. I see sycamore playing thier best ball with who they have healthy. You can probably already expect to see alot of second string players getting some PT for sycamore.

did you ever see austin lohin play? im pretty sure he done all of that

Im glad someone beat me to it. If you have ever seen Austin Lohin play then you shouldnt be surprised at all by what some quarterbacks can do.

after watching both teams against cheatham it will be a physical game sycamore will have to find a way to stop zigler and greenbrier will have to stop the running backs of sycamore the key for greenbrier willl be getttining zigler to the outside and sycamore will need to get the ball to morris and lane both have beeen runnin hard this year

I agree, but with Cory Carrigan being healthy for prolly the first time this season, and from the game he had last week he needs to get another twenty five touches. if that happens and Simms manages the game well then sycamore should win. If not then it will be close. You can never under estimate Greenbriar. Maybe a game like the 06 season, that would be great.

What has happened to the "flavor" of this game when talk on here was "smash-mouth" and tall tales were told..legends were made and folded.....????

 

No trash talk of this Cheatham County Championship???? What gives??? You all married now??

 

I am picking the Cubs by 20

By 20? Thats just not smart. Neither team is that much better than the other plus it a rival. Its not gonna be a blow out by no means. You can probably plan on neither team even scoring twents points, but like I said previously, look for the threepeat!! GO WAR EAGLES!!!

I'm going with the Cubs. What's a War Hawk anyway?

Hey big guy, its a War Eagle!!! Speaking of the War Eagles they have won the last two so expect a threepeat.

See yall tomorrow.

I wasn't at the CW-Sycarmoe game, but going on nwhat was posted, the 4 runs were unearned. The first is considered unearned because he reached on an error. The last two are unearned because they scored after there was 2 outs. The error to start the inning makes these unearned because once you got the second out, the inning should would have been over without the error. So maybe three unearned in that inning.

are you sure about that cause i dont think that makes all of those unearned.

what time are the games tuesday?

no kemp, no chism....bolivar not as good as they used to be. still tough to contain their penetration and reeves is a good player but they are def a beatable team.

when you shoot the ball everytime you touch it and you are half way decent you are going to score points. why would you say west should have won it? if i remember he had a pretty good post player to play with, grant it he didnt have much else but they didnt do anything in the tourney. the most valuable player is the best player in the league. in the past in this district the best players have won the award and i even remember a year when it was split. these coaches know who the best player is and that player will win the award. i like kevins game but i would have to go with pierre in this race but both are great players. in the end the award that matters the most is that district championship plaque.

Yea straightbill should be starting at Columbia State with Cory Hale, Chris Hale, and Matt Fiser all being there as well..

Will Tyler Guye be playing baseball???

yea tyler will be playing for sycamore this year. speaking of which sycamore should be dominant. the only whole to fill is the catcher position. they have a bunch of kids that can play it but none of which are true catchers. im anxious to see how this year ends.

i agree that 11aa is down this year but im not sure that the other district is all that great either. with liberty gone that leaves bolivar as the only team with any kind of experience. it wont be easy but i could see sycamore or harpeth making it to the region championship. just my opinion though.

what kind of crowd is being expected for the harpeth sycamore game? capacity as usual?

Sycamore had 5 starters on the side line when they played white house last friday. Sycamore got to get tough and quit making so many mistakes. they need to come together as a team and play with some heart. Play ever quarter as it's the first one. Don't get down on yourself. If you make a mistake brush it off and get mad. If you see a teammate get down talk to him and tell him he will get the next one. You are a good team with some great players if you don't trust each other you should walk off the field and go home. The boys on the sideline should be cheering on your leaders because it going to be you out there sooner than you think. Seinors take control you only have 4 games left if you don't win this one. Do you want to go down this year and not be in any playoffs. As a fan in the stands I would like to see a close game. I belive in my heart you can beat greenbrier and the other teames you have played. but I don't think you really want it. Get mad and go out there and play some wareagle football like I know you can. I'm not ready for it to over yet. Good luck and work hard this week.

sycamore all i have to say is think back to exactly a year ago to the class of 07. Think of the situation, think of how they handled it. this is when true men step up. especially seniors. your careers are on the line. you have nothing else after this. just think of 07 and what they did. this time last year was when those men held each other accountable and made friends for life. they relyed on one another and came together as a team. they became strong and everyone could see it. seniors take charge and play every second of every quarter as if it was your last ever. be leaders, be men, be remembered. its do or die time baby. everyone knows you can do it. now you just have to know inside yourself.

BIG WEEK. This game was always the best. No matter which team was dominant the scores been close and the games exciting. Im a war eagle so naturally Im rooting for halstead to coach and the players to play. I think the powder keg stays at sycamore. It comes down to who wants it more. someone keep me posted on the game.

yea keep me posted also. i wont be able to make this game. all i have to say is good luck war eagles and someone step up and be a leader on this team. thats all they are missing. they have all the tools, just need a leader.

Sycamore will bounce back this week with a convincing win by 21 or more. They will take out their frustrations on the cubs and forget about last week.

i couldnt agree more. sycamore is coming off of a terrible loss to station camp and there couldnt be a better game to bounce back with.

S.C. by 7.

im going to disagree. its going to be sycamore by 7. sycamore has reloaded from last year. the offense has put up atleast 24 in thier first two games and have only given up one touchdown. Cory Carrigan already has four touchdowns on the ground. the sycamore defense is anchored by some of the toughest seniors there is. Chris Johnson, Brad Tucker, and Nick Hymer along with some hard hitting juniors in Tyler Cherry, Jeremy Marlowe, and EJ sims. Its going to be tough to move the ball on them..
