Lions4ever Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Richland comes to Camden for the first-time-ever meeting of these two new region foes. Will Richland be able to shut down Boyd & Co. and ruin the Lion's homecoming or will Camden show the Raiders what West TN football is all about? Let's hear it...

crazy_cowboy89 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 I believe Camden will come away with this one, We have played Richland and came away with a W but they are a very good team, watch their QB he is pretty quick, I don't think that their D can shut down Boyd though, Wish i could be at this game, Good luck to both teams Camden 42 Richland 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest catfish-hunter Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Teams 3-7 in this region are so evenly matched it is insane (Waverly, Riverside, Loretto, Adamsville, and Richland). It will be fun in the 2nd half of the season watching these teams battle it out for those final two playoff spots in the region. With that said teams 1 & 2 (Camden and Lewis Co.) have both overcome tough starts and both are on a collision course in week ten. That is the matchup that will decide this region.

rcombs Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) Camden's defense has been kinda soft this year, but that's no reason to pick against them. Boyd's gonna have another big night. But, I would also look for Horton to throw a few more balls than usual. He'll have a breakout game againt the run soft Richland defense. Because Boyd & Co. will have such a big game, Richland should be forced into putting 8-9 men in the box. This will open Kyle Combs, Danny Plant, and Byron Boyd up for some receptions. Bryce Wilbanks and Jesse Leonard have been playing like rampaging beasts lately and will continue to do that as Camden will shut down any hope Richland will have to run the ball. Camden's secondary, probably their biggest weakness, will have a tough time containing the QB, but in the end, the physical play of the Lions will win out and Camden will take off running with this one in the second half. Camden's well balanced running attack will rack up another 400 yards rushing and the Lions will roll. I'm gonna take Camden 51 Richland 24.

Believe me the Raiders will not be taken lightly...the way Loretto came out and marched down the field the first couple of series has lit a fire under some young men I know and also a certain Coach I know too ...the few passes Horton attempted opened up the running game and then it was the Boyd show the rest of the nite, so if Horton needs to pass he can and will with accuracy...Richland's biggest worry had better be the speed of Wilbanks & co coming through and around your line to tag your QB...ask Mr. Lamm he can tell you and he's no slow poke himself. Hope you have a safe trip to the beautiful shores of Kentucky Lake...I know some young men who are just dying to meet you.

Lions4ever Posted September 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 (edited) After last night I think Camden seperated themself from the others in this region. I would not seperate Lewis County from the ones you mentioned. After last night it shows that Lewis is no better than any of the other teams from 2nd down. 825754518[/snapback] Anytime you allow a team to gain as many yds as Lewis co did and fail to really have much in total offense you can't say you won the game...Richland just lost it.

Just a bystander Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Region 6-2A is wide open guys. I think that Camden has to be considered the favorite until someone proves otherwise. The rest of the region has to get busy winning games. It is conceivable that the fourth place team in this region will still need to go at least 5-3 in region play to get into the playoffs. Makes for some exciting football this fall. Good luck to all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudumonaghan Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Lewis County had the ball for maybe 8 minutes the WHOLE game! Richland kept it away from them. Hatton had 33 yards yeah, but it all starts with the T.O.P. Lewis Co. won it with D-fense! A win is a win, it's always a good game between Richland and Lewis Co. though.

donhaney Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 As usual, I will try and add some facts. Lewis County's defense has been soft. Thye are playing a lot of freshmen and sophomores but, they should not be making All-State running backs out of everyone we play. Thus far, outside of Stewart County, the other team's top back has had a career night against us. As for Lewis County not winning the game but Richland losing it. Spare me that tired refrain. The last I heard, a defense intercepting four passes and returning three of them for touchdowns is a big part of winning and losing. As for Richland and Lewis County and total yardage and the such. Richland ran 69 plays from scrimmage, Lewis County had 31. But when you spend the entire night returning interceptions for touchdowns, your offense is NEVER on the field. The Panther offense scored twice in four plays in the second half, a pretty good indicator of potentcy. Still, if Richland had ran 100 plays from scrimmage, there is never, ever an excuse for giving up 500 yards of offense to any team. Our defense better improve before we meet Riverside, much less Camden. If we do not get better on defense, Boyd of Camden will run for 300 yards on us. That is not dumping on our young team, it is just the way I see it. Now, let me state that I feel we will get better and if the defense catches up with the offense, we will be in the upper echelon of the region. Until then, we will be scraping for everything we get. As for stopping Hatton, I would suggest that we aren't quite so one dimensional. We had all three backs go over 100 yards rushing against Loretto. And sophomores King and Greve both had 50+ scoring plays on Friday. Now then, in general, for all the fans of this region, I don't believe I have ever seen a region that Lewis COunty has been a member of that is showing so little defense and so much offense! It seems like every team in the region is capable of scoring tons of points and conversely, giving up bushels of them as well. As for Richland and Camden. I think Richland is much improved and might run the table after this week, if they don't get down after the game with Camden. But the Lions are the cream of the crop in our region (as I stated in a pre-season post.) Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. I have covered LCHS football for 30 years and love our team to death but we are a long ways currently from being equal to Camden, and so is Richland. Don't mean to incite angry retorts, just stating facts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
