REGION 5 | 2A


Recommended Posts

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 3rd 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 4th 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.

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

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

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.  

Be careful jumping on and off the bandwagon. :D

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.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
