I know Jelks and Counce are being recruited as well as #7 Ray. I would imagine #34 Allen is being recruited, but word is back here in Dyersburg Counce has 9 Division 1 prospects. I understand Jelks/Coune and #7 might play at a smaller D-1 School or play as a DB....But who else is being heavily recruited for Henry County?..Jelks/Counce/ Ray/Allen are the ones who stood out the most the other night. Seems like all of Henry County's team was just GOOD. And I mean that in a positive way. Who else is being recruited? Speak up Henry County fans!

 

from what i saw friday, I would assume at least one or more of the d-linemen is being recruited. they also have a DB #2, kid is relentless. not sure who else. they definitely have some good players, but not sure if they have quite 8 or 9 division 1 players.

That is incorrect. The visiting team can ask for an allotment of tickets to sell at the school during the week. The tickets come from the TSSAA any tickets not sold along with all the money collected must be returned to the host school prior to the end of the game. This is true of all regular season games and playoff games including the state championship games. :thumb:

 

I wasn't sure about that but hope they do bring a 1,000 fans.

 

Prez, how many Patriot fans do you estimate in attendance?

I don't see how all 3 d lineman aren't being recruited. Maybe not by d1 but by someone. Also #2 is only a junior and should have every team in the country wanting him next year.

That's a difficult estimation...one we are having to try to determine for several different factors. My guess for this Friday's game would be in the 5,000 area..give or take 500. I know that a home game on Thanksgiving weekend is a big draw...add the fact that we are playing against Hendersonville...a team we have never beaten...and given that all other area teams are now out of the playoffs except Milan, West Carroll and Dresden...two of which are playing on the road this week...means we should have a large crowd of folks wearing all different team colors! No matter the attendance...I hope they all ride home talking about a Patriots win!!

I was thinking the same thing and expect one of the biggest crowds ever. The biggest crowds I can remember were the '92 semis against Gallatin & the Melrose '08 quarter final. I'm sure I've forgotten a couple of more but I don't have any idea what the attendance was at those games.

La'quan Mcferren is also being recruited. He plays safety along side Storme. Dennis Tharpe Jr. is only a sophmore and is our starting middle linebacker. He will be coveted by every team in the country by the time he's a senior.

Could we make sure our players don't make the same mistake as last year against this team. Hendersonville was the team that was eye gouging. We were warned by other teams and thats exactly what they did. We lost a very strategic player right off the bat because of retaliation. Let them be aware this may happen again. We definitely don't need a repeat that could cost us the trip to the Championship Game.

Here's my 2 cents for what it is worth. If Henry Co is as good as what everybody thinks they are then they should win. They should have better athletes and the revenge factor plus home field could very well tip the hats to the Patriots. Hopefully y'all will be prepared and go ahead and finally win the gold ball. I make no bones about it, I really wish Gallatin would have made it to Paris because I think that could have been an epic game. Hendersonville was no doubt better than us the last time we played on that night but I still don't think they were a better team. Hendersonville has a knack of turning it up during the playoffs. Last year they got hot and went to the state title game, this year could be the same unless Henry Co is well prepared. I have seen the Commandos twice and admittedly they did not play well the first meeting. The second matchup, they had made some changes. Priddy had moved to the fullback position and this greatly helped the running game. Having Tez Bryant and Priddy in the backfield is a good combo. Neither are very flashy just hard runners. Brown is a good QB. His numbers don't lie. With a fast big play receiver in Jarrell Adams and Priddy out of the backfield, they are hard to defend. Passing out of the wing-t just helps that offense. Now compared to last year, Hendersonville does not have as strong of line play. Last year they were just nasty up front. This year they are adequate but have much stronger play makers. The kicker can not be overlooked either. He has a strong leg. Watch for the tightend on those 3rd and 5 plays. He got rocked against Gallatin in the first meeting time after time. It obviously affected him because he caught one pass in the second game and he acted like he had won the Superbowl. Hit him hard and it will get in his head. Don't expect anything too flashy, Hatfield is just a solid coach and they do what they do. Adelotte, Perry and Hatfield are the top wing-t coaches in the state and all are still playing this week. Hatfield has mostly been a fullback lead and buck sweep type, but this passing game is definitely a feather in their cap. I expect Henry Co to pull out the win, but I will say if Hendersonville does win I won't be surprised. It ought to be a good game. The other players are good role players. They have good fundamentals which makes them a tough matchup. Good luck Patriots and have fun, just know others wish they could have been in your spot.

HC is a good Football Team. I saw them play Beech, and they stopped Beech's offense in the 1st half. However Beech had success with their Passing attack in the third quarter, which in turn helped their running game. So Beech scored in both the 3rd, and 4th quarters against HC. The score the second half was HC 15- Beech 14.

Sure HC won the game 37-17 which was because of their defense in the 1st half. Beech came on strong on both sides of the ball the 2nd half. Could HC have done more?

 

HC is a good Football Team. However their strength of schedule is soft. They are ranked 88th hardest schedule in the State and this is across all Divisions, 6A, 5A, 4A, etc. Hendersonville's strength of schedule ranking is 9th hardest. 9TH.!(across all Divisions)

 

HC is a good Football Team. Hendersonville can score on the ground, in the air, and the Kicker....He can tackle too. Wing-T, Pro set, Wildcat, Pistol...Coach Hat is a multi-tasker

 

HC is a good Football Team. Hendersonville only lost to one 5A team this year, Gallatin. Hendersonville then beat Gallatin in the 2nd round of the Playoffs. HC lost to no one...think about it.

 

HC is a good Football Team. Go Commandos! :thumb:
