What a bummer! Four plays into the MBA-HC scrimmage a lightening delay followed by a deluge  ended the event. MBA scored in 3 plays  to start the contest thanks to a beautiful 70 yard breakaway by their fine tailback and two short passes. HC ran one play,a 7 yard run by McCutchen, before the game was called. The HC frosh had a 3 to 1( I think) advantage in their scrimmage and looked pretty good.A really big crowd from Nashville followed their team to Paris which made the ending much worse. The Patriots needed the work and didn't get it.Now we have the jamboree to look forward to in a week. Good luck to both BIG REDS!!!

Yeah that was a major letdown. Oh well. We've had to wait all spring and summer. I guess one more week won't hurt. Although with the way the weather has been this summer it's legitimately worth hoping the jamboree doesn't get rained out as well. Seems like it has come a storm every afternoon for a month!!

 

I did catch the tail end of the frosh scrimmage, and it was encouraging. We look to have another plentiful and talented group over there again this year.

No offense to westview fans but even if we beat them which I'm sure we will. We know what we have on our schedule with tough teams and u can't feel really good like we are the best when we have to get over a couple of huge hurdles with liberty and centennial. Not too mention other very talented teams in gallatin Dickson county. So can't be comfortable with a win vs west view. Way more improving that has to be done to compete with big time teams

That's one of the reasons we needed the MBA scrimmage in my opinion. Truth be told, we probably would've gotten crushed yesterday (I know, I know, scrimmages aren't actual games), but in high school football sometimes it's good to get punched in the mouth during the preseason. There is no shame in it happening against somebody like MBA, and it can be a really good learning tool for a young team with lots of potential.

 

That said, we will overcome the missed practice and be fine. And Westview or not, I'm just ready to see this team in action. Here's to hoping for some good weather next Friday! We're getting yet another afternoon thunderstorm as I type this!!

I haven't heard much about Liberty during the preseason. Apparently their numbers are down this year, but it's not like a numbers advantage has helped us the last couple of years against them.

 

They have most of their skill guys back from last year on top of a really good RB transfer. That game hinges on what they have up front IMO. If they've taken a step back in the trenches then I like our chances. If not, then I don't.

    • Im asking everyone to keep roy whited and his family in your prayers. Coach whited won back to back state championships at white county in 98-99. He is very well liked and respected in this area. For those of you that dont know he went missing 3 days ago. No one knows where he is. His truck was found in a rural part of the county. Thanks again. We are all very concerned. 
    • West would be a good team to get behind if they can pull it off again like last year. That championship game last year was awesome. 
    • I say that because he stepped out of a MUCH better situation on his own than he would see at least his first 3 years at DCA and it would take at least that much to bring him back to coaching. There are other fish in the sea, but again money talks. Need to fix the girls hoops too. Now I'll try again. Who has Pierce locked in for his staff? Hearing a McGavock man but not the Iceman.
    • I’ve heard mostly good things from the gridiron. Lots of optimism. It sounds like the portal has mostly helped, though there are a few expected defections. Comeback year!
    • Rudesell 1 year at Crockett. Coach Tate 2 weeks a Bradford. South Gibson supposedly going with jcs middle school coach. Which isn’t who I thought would get it, I know the top 2 was between him and Obion girls head coach.
