Tullahoma @ Franklin Co.

Big District 8AAA clash this Friday night. Let the talkin begin.

On paper, it looks like Tullahoma should win, but this is a big rival game in Winchester and the Rebels had a week off to prepare for the Wildcats. Franklin Co has a great running game and both teams need a win to have a chance to finish in one of the top two spots in the final District 8AAA standings. Both teams are 1-1 in district play. Franklin Co got a big district win over Lawrence Co in their last game 42-14 and Tullahoma beat Chatt Tyner last Friday night 24-14 in the Cats homecoming game. The early forecast is for good weather this Friday night. Its always a tough physical game. If you can't attend, the game will be broadcast live on 101.5 FM with Scott Shasteen and myself. You can also listen on www.fantasyradio.com or local Charter tv channel 6. I anticipate a huge crowd for this annual showdown of neighboring counties.

Nobody's saying anything about this game. It's the quiet before the storm.

Are there no F.C. faithful on here.

I'll post to do my best to represent my Rebels.

 

 

I am genuinely excited for this game, and think it will be closer than the last few years. The obvious keys seem to be:

 

THS passing vs. FC defense

FC run game vs. THS front 7 (or front 9)

 

and I think the wildcard will be how long can FCHS keep it close. They need to use their offense to keep the THS QB off the field, and get a push upfront. FCHS per their system, and their mentality, are a good front running team. If THS can get an early lead, and show offensive balance, this one will not be close.

 

Here's to a good game, great weather, and the best result for the Rebels. I hope Coach Carr and that sideline will show some intensity and get fired up. If we see the usual timidness, we will get hit in the mouth and roll over.

 

Safe travel to everyone, and have a great evening! Go Rebels!

FC came up short on the 2 point converstion

It was another classic battle between the Tullahoma Wildcats and the Franklin Co Rebels. Tullahoma won in the 2nd overtime 31-30. Franklin Co went for the 2pt conversion and the win, but came up inches short and the Cats survived in the 2nd overtime. Personally, I felt more relieved than happy with the victory. Players from both teams put it on the line tonite and Coach Olive said after the game that he would have gone for 2 and the win if Tullahoma had been in the same situation. It's a very tough loss for the Rebels who led the entire game until the 2nd overtime. I have to give Tullahoma credit for a gutty performance and hanging tough against an inspired Franklin Co team. Its just unbelievable the way the Cats have won the last three times they played the Rebels in Winchester. Hats off to both teams Friday night in a game neither team deserved to lose.
