4way; those folks you were talking to were deluded. I know Hickman has continued to improve this season and Coach Swenson is a great coach. However, having seen Camden twice and Hickman once in person and both teams on nurmerous films. The only place that Hickman can compare to Camden is speed in the backfield. Camden actually has a functional passing attack. So that shouldn't be an argument on how HC will stack up with GP. If you want to go that route you could say that since Fairview held Camden to 14 points and GP gave up 24 that Fairview has better defense. we all know that not to be the case. I know Swenson and his staff will have the boys from ALL of Hickman ready. They better play like there is no tomorrow, because in all honesty there won't be. Earn respect from the rest of the state, myself included, who expect you to get blown out. GP - 42 HC - 14 (GP is 4 TDs better than HC, could have put 28-0 but I know Sowell and Villareal are good for 2) For the record, GP didn't squeak by Camden. Coach Martin actually executed a really classy move(I'll wait as you gasp in shock) he kneelt the time out from inside the 5 rather than punch in the final TD. Though they were behind at half and the majority of the game, they were not rattled. The feel from GP was not "are we going to win" it was a foregone conclusion to them. and their stud Cunningham got like 8-9 carries, they were spreading the ball around. Had he got the carries he should have they would have decimated Camden. They are freakin GOOD! and if I wasn't going out of town I would be there in Madison watching that freak Cunningham run all over the Hickman Defense. I mean no offense, as I know this will be taken, but this is my assessment. and I approved this message.

You going to make it down to KS this weekend for the game? It decides the Region 3 seed for sure, will be interesting. The winner is the team with the fewest turnovers IMO. Seems like Fairview has cured that bug while Harpeth seems to have been biten themselves.

I know you are being cordial in the score prediction category and you probably feel forced to give one team 21 and the other a two touchdown spread but I don't think it will be that close. Fairview's D has given up a whopping 45 total yards and (3) 1st dns in the last two games combined. They have found a little swagger after being drug through a wringer. I say the TD spread is closer to 4 for Fairview. Hope To see a well fought rivalry with as little mouthing as possible, though I won't bet against that. These two teams seems not to like each other, that always makes for great football.

to be honest I was shocked to hear the Richland-Harpeth score. Thought Harpeth was going to have a little more going for them at home during a playoff push. With an extra week of rest and preparation a think Fairview will push Harpeth right out of the way and roll into the playoffs with a stellar 4-6 record. Fairview's D is Tough! and I don't see Harpeth putting up enough points to win the next one.

Looks good but I think the 3 seed in region 6 goes to Fairview (i know they're 2-6, but beat Richland h-2-h) and Richland picks up the wild card at 6-4 since they'll split their last 2.

No, They open Week 0 with Page at home. Should be an interesting matchup, a cross county rivalry in the making with Fairview probably moving into that region at the next class change if growth keeps up.

I couldn't help but check out this thread. both schools in question are much anticipated matchups for my boys at Fairview. To answer queations, we lost some key components from last years playoff squad (Degalliford, Cassidy, Baldoni, Gulizia, Gasieki-kicker) But they have been replaced by very adequate young men. and yes Cassidy's little(bigger) brother has the makings of a huge high school career (he'll be a SO, started every game as a FR at MLB) With a new HC and a balanced offensive style that better suits our athletes, Fairview will definitely turn some heads, and will give opposing Ds a lot to plan for. I watched the EH/mTp game last year, It was obvious that EH was able key in on Marco and thus win the game. Though he was effective for most of the game he took a good beating. I expect the non-region games to test the durability of said phenom. One thing will be for sure after LC and Fairview come rolling through, MtP will have a downhill slide to the playoffs.

WOW!!! 92 solos??? this tells me one of three things. They played no less than 14 games thus he avged over 6 solos a game (incredible feat), the rest of his team was sooo bad that they played a ton of defense, or the stat guy was his dad. I'm sure he's a great player, but this goes to prove that coaches need to check the stats through film revision. Be honest with your kids!

Especially since East Hickman Middle consistently turns out better athletes than Centerville. I wouldn't spurn them so soon.

BC- as I read your post I was hoping to get to the part about SH losing to their only 2a opponent last year, Fairview. Anyways...lets compare the numbers, just for Ss&Gs. Fairview beat SH 16-0, Goodpasture beat Fairview 62-19, Alcoa beat Goodpasture 31-3. So it looks like (of course that was LAST year /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Alcoa was 87 pts better than the Raiders from Spring Hill. SH doesn't stand a snowballs chance. But you're right it will be a good barometer of their skills.

Let me see if I understand...you're saying that Hickman Co. prepared differently over the past few years in their loses to Fairview do to their 4A region opponents???? I have met Coach Swinson and I see that as a knock on him, he is a great coach and has his players ready every week. Hickman co. was well prepared last year when they opened the Fairivew game with a KO return. But couldn't hold on and Fairview escaped with the W. So if Fairview and Lewis are more talented while currently in 2A what is your reasoning to think that Hickman will get better while losing athletes from East Middle in the longrun. That's like Saying UT will get better next year if they aren't allowed to recruit in Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama.

speaking of a lack of 171s, did Turner (Northwest) come down from 189? He beat Hall(CHS) to win the Dickson Co. Tourney, he looked small for 89 then, if he has come down a class he'll be a stud at 71
