I just don't know what the outcome of this game will be. Part of me wants to see 9AAA in the state again... but the other part says not H-ville. Call that sour grapes if you like but I've never liked H-ville. With that being said if anybody on H-ville's team doesn't think they have a chance at victory I tell them to stay at home and only take the ones who KNOW they have what it takes.

 

Ridgeway has given up 34 points in 3 playoff games with most of those coming against back-up's during running clock 2nd half action. This game will be the tell-tale

of the football played west of the Tn river. Either they have figured out how to play football at the next level or the whole lot of them are playing on talent alone. White Station Beat Maryville last year by having better athletes. Not saying they played better football but had they better athletes. The real question here is are teams in Memphis just like Metro teams here in the mid state. Those teams have the horses for sure but no body seems to be able to harness all that talent to get a total team effort from them. I guess we'll know the answer to that question in about 36 hours.

Ridgeway has a VERY good coach this year. Coach Sutton came from Georgia where he played his high school ball. From there he played at the University of Memphis. After graduating,he took a Kingsbury program that was TERRIBLE and turned it around. After 1 year at Craigmont, he has landed at Ridgeway, which should be scary for the rest of the state because you do have a matchup of unreal talent and very good coaching. I agree that many Memphis teams have an abundance of talent with sub standard coaching. Coach Sutton's situation is not that case. He has the experience of small town Friday nights as a high school player and inner city memphis as a college player and coach. So, he approaches his teams much differently than others in town because of his experience. Don't think that you are going to see an undisciplined bunch of athletes running around a football filed trying to win despite themselves. I agree, that very thing happens Friday night all over Memphis, but not on Sutton's watch.

Ridgeway - 35

Hendersonville - 14

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
