Powell visits Clinton for our first home game of the year.  Clinton will be without the services of one of our best players, so someone else will need to step up.

I would love to see Clinton come out and play with some heart and determination and give Powell all they want and more. 

Powell is my surprise team of the year. I believe Powell has a better than average defense and a very good offense. 

I'm going with Powell in this one.   

Powell 38  Clinton 14

Hope Clinton proves me wrong! Go Dragons!!

Clinton showed a lot of improvement against AC, and I think this game could be closer than some think, for 3 quarters or so. In the end, Powell probably has too much on both sides of the ball. Dragon, you're prediction looks spot on.

I worried last week's game against Karns would be a bit of a let down for the Panthers, and for one half, I was right. Powell's defense struggled early, but they really played well after halftime. Offensively, Powell clicked on all cylinders. They never punted, and only 3 drives results in zero points (INT, fumble at the goal line, took a knee on the final 2 plays at the goal line).

Thomas Harper for Karns is going to give alot of teams trouble this year, but I noticed Powell finally put a safety over the top and shut him down pretty much. 

We're still struggling on defense stopping the pass, it's no secret. I hope we can true that up sooner rather than later.

I know this will be a very physical and hard hitting game. I just hope both teams come out injury free.

Yay a home game. Powell should win comfortably but I think Clinton could give em a game for a bit. I'm interested to see who the interim will be (assuming McKamey's suspension appeal gets denied) and how that will change things on offense, if it will at all.

Kinda like how I do on NCAA 2017....Hail Marry every play on offense and 4-4 all out blitz every play on defense. 

See....coaching ain't that hard.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.   
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
