Tennessee High at David Crockett Round 2

The old saying goes that it is hard to beat a really good team twice.   This is the dilemma Maryville faces against Oakland (Maryville won the regular season game and may well face Oakland again in the playoffs).     If you think Tenn High is a really good team then there's your answer, if not then Crockett should win again.

In 2009 the Vikings were ranked #1 in the state, in the 9th game of the season they beat us 51-26.  However in the 2nd round of the playoffs we returned the favor 23-14 and knocked the Vikings out of what might have been a trip to Cookeville.
In 2012 we defeated the Vikings 37-7 in the regular season.   The first game of the playoffs we faced them again.   Boone went into the game all cocky and looking forward to round 2, the Vikings bushwhacked us 28-7 and moved on to round 2.

Mental advantage goes to Tennessee High here, though I think DC is the more talented team.  Both are well coached.

THS's defense is pretty good and they defend the pass better than most NET teams.  They'll also run the ball and kill the clock to keep DC's offense off the field.

Meanwhile, DC's defense will come ready to play just like they have all season.  They'll be looking to jump out on THS early and make the "hog the ball" strategy a moot point.

This game will simply come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes.  I'd go with Tennessee High if I had to bet money, but not by much.  It'll be another tight one unless DC goes off early and jumps out to a quick 2+ score lead.

No mental advantage for Tennessee High they missed their field goal and Crockett made theirs

This should be a great game and a great atmosphere.    Good luck to both teams and whoever comes out with the W, don't let is stop there!  Keep moving forward and go get the W in the 3rd round next week.   There's a great opportunity to make history and bring more attention & respect to our area for NET football.  Get out an support your team and have a safe weekend.  DC 28 TH 27.

    • Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.
    • What does everyone have in the final 8? In no particular order. 1. Eagleville 2. Gordonsville 3. Greenback 4. Oakdale 5. South Pitt/ East Robertson-- not sure 6. Richland 7. Halls 8. Union City
    • They struggled to field a team last year. I don’t see them being much better?
    • sx good two know thay didun't waint that entarr citty two see yeller/red......
    • Couldn’t agree more.. Tate is a special kinda player , but fortunately for us we get a best of 3 series. I think our pitching is better than last year when we made the trip to west tn. Should be a fun 2 or 3 games.
