How in the heck was this game that close? Sloppy special teams play or what? That's offesnvive dominance by CA! 

fumblefest! Fumbled 4 times inside the 18 yd line (3 within 11 yds) on drives that we were moving the ball down the field.

Well that's that!!! Great y'all pulled it out thought!!

LC, CA, Eagleville, and Summertown get the W. Great job to those schools. 

Loretto and Community keep it closer than expected. 

Forrest was not competitive.

Lewis County was in control of this one from the beginning. Scotts Hill received the opening kickoff and netted negative yards on their first possession. Lewis County struck quick to take a 7-0 lead and never looked back.

LC scored on their first 4 possessions of the game, with the following drives: 3 plays 27 yards, 2 plays 65 yards, 3 plays 76 yards,  and 4 plays 66 yards, all ending with touchdowns. They squandered an opportunity to end the first half with a score, and led 28-0 at the half. 

LC took the opening kickoff in the 2nd half, had a 2 play 64 yard drive and scored their 5th and final TD of the game. With a running clock the remainder of the game, the Panthers went deep down the depth chart early.

SH took minimal snaps on the LC side of midfield. It took them the better part of the first half to gain a 1st down.

LC showed big play potential with scoring plays of 66 yds, 59 yds, and 63 yds on the night. SH's defensive strategy was to try to bottle up Webb, but the Panthers other skill position weapons exposed the Lion defense.

Week 2 Matchups

Columbia Academy (1-0, 0-0) vs. 4AAAA Spring Hill (0-1, 0-0)

Community (0-1, 0-0) at 5A Moore County (1-0, 0-0)

Eagleville (1-0, 0-0) at 5A Cornersville (1-0, 0-0)

Forrest (0-1, 0-0) at 5A Fayetteville (0-0, 0-1)

Lewis County (1-0, 0-0) vs. 6AAA Camden (0-1, 0-0)

Loretto (0-1, 0-0) vs. Rogers (AL) (0-0, 0-0)

Summertown (1-0, 0-0) vs. 6A Wayne County (1-0, 0-0)

 

Columbia Academy had a tight one Friday night when they travelled to a tough Div. II-A Nashville Christian and came away with a 21-14 victory. This week, The Bulldogs host 4AAAA Spring Hill who lost a close one to Summit Week 1. Another strong non-Region 5AA opponent to prepare CA for their region slate beginning Week 3.

Community was doubled up by defending 1A runner up Cornersville, 41-20. This week, the Vikings hope to avoid another 0-2 start as they travel to Lynchburg to face Moore County. Community/Moore County was a high scoring affair last year in Unionville. The Raiders shut out Cascade last week at home, and look to start 2-0 for the second year in a row.

Eagleville ran away from Huntland in their Week 1 matchup, 56-26. This week they return the trip to Class A runner-up from 2017 Cornersville. Both teams 1-0 coming in, and the Eagles took the Bulldogs behind the woodshed last year before Cornersville ran off 12 straight wins before losing in the State Championship. Eagleville’s dynamic offense gets this last tune up before starting Region 5AA play next week.

Forrest struggled mightily in their week 1 matchup with Div. II-AA battle Ground Academy, but look to righten the ship against an 0-1 Fayetteville team from Region 5A. The Rockets could use this week to rectify some potential concerns before they begin Region 5AA play next week.

Lewis County handled 6AA Scotts Hill for the 3^rd time in a calendar year on Friday night. The Panther defense pitched a shutout, and now turns attention to 6AAA opponent Camden. The Lions were thrashed by arguably the best team in AA, Waverly, 43-8. The Panthers hope for a repeat of 2017, when they defeated Camden 26-7 in Hohenwald.

Loretto kept the game closer than 2017 with Wayne County Friday night, losing 27-16. This week, they host Rogers High School from north Alabama in their home opener, which will also be the Pirate's season opener. Last year, the Mustangs lost their 4^th straight to the team from Alabama 56-14, and will need a huge effort to keep this one close.

Summertown held on to win at home against Hickman County 28-14, avenging a season-opening 1-point loss from a year ago. This week, the Eagles will again be at home, this time hosting a much stronger Wayne County team that defeated Loretto in their opener in week 1.

Forrest did not struggle. They were completely non competitive.

I didn't want to go there. I expect the Rockets to improve, they showed talent last year but also youth. I still think they could be in the mix in the top 4 of 5AA when it is all said and done.

Very good analysis. Wish every region would post like this.

I agree with you Stuff. I also think there is a school of thought that somehow we shouldn't be honest about how badly a team performs. We do a disservice when we coddle a team by pretending they were competitive. If those two teams played 1000 times, Forrest, as they performed Fri, wouldn't win once.

And that's just the ones that stopped drives.  We won't talk about the other 7 or 8.  It was an ugly win.  How we escaped with a win is beyond me.  Hats off to the defense as they were able to really shut down NC except on a couple of plays.  The pressure on the QB was incredible all night

Be careful jumping on and off the bandwagon. 

You were told all week this game was a mismatch (and you ridiculed every post). Most every team in 2A would have looked similar on that field last week. This BGA team is one of the top teams in any classification in middle TN right now. 

In spite of your post-BGA posts, barring injuries, I fully expect Forrest to be competitive with CA. Even with the improvement at the bottom of the region, I do not expect Forrest to struggle with Summertown, Community, or Loretto. Last year with reserves playing much  of the 2nd half, FHS put up 157 points on those 3 teams. 

This week they will be seeing many of the same formation, some of the same plays, but with different athletes running them. If they play with the same effort as last week, Forrest should roll.

There's no bandwagon. I bleed blue. Tough love is true love.
