It is very important to have 2 teams that want to work it out to make the game up. When you only have one team that is making a consertive effort it leads to the frustration we saw last night.

Agreed. A lot of the stuff that went on after the game was called could have been eliminated if everyone had been willing to work on a solution to get the game played. I get that it isn't a region game, but it is an important game. An effort to play today or tomorrow could have worked. I keep going back to the Columbia-Spring Hill game on Sunday at 1:00. If you had 2 schools and 2 coaches that wanted to make it happen it would happen.

Good call by both teams!

After a 2+ hour delay with both teams stuck in locker rooms, with fans on both sides that view this as the big rivalry game, there was no real surprise that emotions were elevated when the coaches, administrators, and officials met at mid-field before the game was called. Hindsight is always 20/20, but if all involved had agreed to sleep on it and come to a resolution this morning, as appears to have happened in the end, much of the ugliness that was displayed could have been avoided. Additionally, some people from both sides should have their computer, smartphone, social media privileges revoked because of the things that have been said since about 10:30 last night.

In order for that to happen BOTH sides would have to be cooperative and open minded and that was not the case. Think about the resolution and when the game is going to be made up, the Monday of the CA game. The best proposal  was the Monday during HC bye week which is the week of O’B game. HC Coach declined.

Agree 100%. It was more than obvious there was one side that was not really willing to negotiate anything, the side that had little/no control over their team on the field during the discussion. I am really curious to know what other dates were put on the table. With the date settled on Lewis County will be returning from the Obion County game late on Friday night/early Saturday morning, have to recover for a game Monday night with Hickman County, and then be on a short week to recover and prepare for what could be the region championship game with Columbia Academy on Friday. On the other side, Hickman County will host Decatur County-Riverside on the Friday, players at home by the time Lewis County even loads the bus in McKenzie, play on Monday and have a short week for a non-region, non-division matchup with Frankiln Road the following Friday. I wonder if there was even any discussion about playing on Sunday, as that would have given both teams the entire week to prep for region games next Friday.

I hate to be the one to break the news to you, but Obion County isn't in McKenzie...Troy is the home of OC, and Google says that it's 147 miles to Hohenwald, one way. The game should have been rescheduled at the earliest convenience for both teams, either today or tomorrow. Three games in seven days has the potential to be bad for the team's chances going forward, and for their health. I can understand why LC wants to play...they are probably going to whip HC pretty well, and may need the win for seeding, but they may have been better off to just let it go if HC wouldn't negotiate a more mutually beneficial time. Going to be a tough week, ending in the potentially toughest and most meaningful game of the season.

Hate to break the news to you, it is a neutral site game. Same site as last year.We have an obligation to make the return trip.

But, that is neither here nor there. My main point is there seemed to be little to no reason why the game could not have been completed today or tomorrow, as you said. Hickman County was the side unwilling to make the most logical choice, but logic often eludes the rivals to the north.

I will say this, Mike Smithson is a class act in his attempt to do damage control for the Coach.

Heard Sharpe is luck to not be in jail last night after the threats he made last night. Talk about a class act.

Yea, the Barney Fife Chief ran up and got in his face and threaten to arrest him for telling the coach from HC he was an idiot for offering to play the Thursday before the CA game. He also threatened to arrest a LC parent after a HC player cussed the parent after the game.  I hope the people of Centerville limits him to one bullet. Be careful where you get your information from.

BG24 surely  you are not proud of how your coach acted and how he allowed your players to act. If you are then you are either the coach or close kin to him. No true fan would want there program to be represented like this.
