I second that. Henry County has a great atmosphere, at least it did that night. I would hope it is like that at every game. Lots has changed in Gallatin since 86' but it was said back then that opponents were down 14 points before they ever stepped on the field. Miss those days!! However, I believe excitement is coming back for Gtown. I thought Hartsville had a great atmosphere too. Not many of those type places left. Enjoy it and good luck this week.

I remember that night in '09, was a fun night - except for HC losing! I also remember back in '86 that it was a rainy night, nasty out. At halftime, we came out of the locker room still wet and dirty. Gallatin came out looking clean and had what looked like new shoes with 3 inch cleats on them to combat the muddy conditions. Amazing! But I agree with you that back then, you seemed to be down by 14 before you ever hit the field.

 

I don't know if I could say that about Henry County now, but I do know that many of us who played back then and are huge fans now try hard to make it an atmosphere that was like that back then. Man I love high school football - nothing else like it!

Ahh, yes. The change of uniforms... classic. Also, '09, seems Gallatin entered as underdogs. I remember our QB being chased scrabbling 10 yards back and toward the sideline on a 3rd down play only to find a wide open RB streaking down the sideline for a roughly 65 yard TD toss taking all the momentum. Then the kickoff went through the uprights.

 

Anyhow, HC wins a championship 2 years later and has a great opportunity to do so again this year. Pulling for HC in this one.

 

Good luck and hope we have the opportunity to play this year!

Several things

 

First..Do not look for a very big crowd from East to make their way to Henry County. They played Millington in the first round and had a very small crowd considering they only had about a 22 mile drive. The stadium should be dominated by a huge crowd from Henry that will be loud and vocal! If you don't think that will be intimidating and have no effect, you are dead wrong...May not be huge but will be a plus for HC!

 

Someone mentioned that East would get beat by a more disciplined HC team.. Can't disagree here.. East had a number of costly penalities at Millington that stopped drives and also let Millington keep possession several times. East was in the Red Zone twice when penalities, holding, false starts, illegal motion, etc  moved them out of scoring position which allowed Millington to hang in despite an obvious mismatch with personnel.

 

Looking at the bracket with the winner playing either Ridgeway or Melrose, I honestly think that HC would beat either one. I'm also of the opinion that should East win, they would lose to either two based on what I saw at our game. Could be wrong bu don't think so.

visionaire:

 

Yes, we played a sloppy game versus Millington. This is what kept the game close. This is not a fashion show though. Those kids just find a way to win. We beat both Melrose and Ridgeway already, by double digits. One thing I can say, these players don't get shaken when adversity strikes. They have been responding all year. It's game day. We will find out in a few hours. Good luck to both teams!

 

Go Mustangs!

Whatever the outcome of this game becomes. I'm fairly confident that HC will not put 47 on the East 'D'. That you can take to the bank.

 

How's the weather in Paris? It's nasty outside here in Memphis.

Game time temperature predicted to be upper 70s and remain so through the remainder of the game and a 3 mph Southerly wind.  No reason whatsoever to bring any extra fluids nor extra clothing.  Refreshments will be provided as well.

    • Fortuitously encountering Clint amidst the ambience of Goodyear this morning sparked an impromptu yet intellectually stimulating conversation, wherein we engaged in a rigorous assessment of prospective candidates for the esteemed role of head football coach. Our discourse, characterized by its spontaneity and depth, led to the formulation of astute observations and discerning judgments regarding the suitability of various individuals for this pivotal position. Allow me to elucidate the fruits of our collaborative contemplation: This commentary endeavors to offer a discerning articulation of my subjective viewpoint, emphasizing a conscientious commitment to maintaining impartiality and refraining from any semblance of derogation directed towards individuals.  Those who possess meritorious qualifications for the esteemed head coaching role, delineated without hierarchical precedence, include: Rennard Woodmore, an esteemed alumnus of the Yellow Jackets, presents a magnificent pedigree, having held prominent positions in head coaching capacities across various regions. His pivotal role as a coordinator for teams contending for state championships further enhances his stature in the realm of football leadership. Kyle Gregory, erstwhile adorned in the resplendent gold insignia, though lacking direct head coaching experience, brings to the fore his invaluable insights garnered as a coordinator for esteemed teams, showcasing an acute understanding of the requisites for triumph whilst attired in the esteemed purple and gold regalia. Steven Jackson, whose contributions transcended mere clipboard duties under the tutelage of Kevin Creasy, emerges as an exceptional candidate for Trousdale County. His prior tenure and triumphs as an assistant coach underscore his suitability for the role. The sole drawback lies in his lack of affiliation with Trousdale County as an alumnus. Brandon Eden's extensive tenure within the chronicles of Trousdale County football, spanning a significant portion of its State Championships, coupled with his successful stints as a coordinator across diverse locales, underscores his candidacy despite a dearth of direct head coaching experience at the high school level. Davy Cothron, while beset by a modest playing career, has emerged as a luminary in offensive strategy, drawing parallels to the transformative appointment of Barker in 2015, thereby warranting consideration for his proven acumen in this realm. Joshua Hackett, notwithstanding his non-alumnus status, has left an indelible imprint across Middle Tennessee, distinguished by his adept curation of formidable defensive units as a coordinator at Watertown, albeit without direct head coaching experience. Kevin Creasy, the epitome of coaching prowess, merits an offer irrespective of his current inclinations, his unparalleled capacity to secure victories transcending geographical and institutional bounds, potentially extending to a role as Director of Schools should it align with his aspirations. Conversely, individuals who have not demonstrably earned the mantle of head coaching, enumerated without sequential precedence, encompass: Brad Waggoner David Barker Paul Pitts Jeremy Pruitt Clint Satterfield Robbie Atwood Wesley Satterfield Ben Johnson BJ West Whom do you all deem most fitting to assume the mantle of the next coach, and what rationale informs your choice? Conversely, whom do you perceive as ill-suited for the role, and what underpins your reasoning for their exclusion?
    • He's a Clinton fan.  But I wouldn't admit that either.  
    • Their any schedule out their for team camp?
    • This sums it all up to perfection.  
    • Just read the article! In one statement he says he didn’t know the player was academically ineligible yet he also says he met with a teacher in 2022 to discuss putting the player in credit recovery.  I find it hard to believe a Head Coach doesn’t know a player is not eligible; are they not responsible for clearing them to the TSSAA?
