My bad on the East Hickman reference then.  I could have sworn his Dad was a middle school coach in East Hickman at one time.  I think Nashville Christian may have been in the equation as well, at least for a few minutes.  Obviously I am wrong?

Yes he coached at East Hickman middle several years ago. Prior to his son being old enough to even play for him there I believe. He very well may have been at EHMS at some time or another but I thought you were talking about him playing at EHHS. I personally don't know of anything with NC and it's really not my place to talk about it really. I'm sure they had their reasons and there was nothing illegal about it. 

There's always been kids from East and Fairview going back and forth with the schools being just a few miles from each other on each side of their respective county lines. As I'm sure is the case all across the state.

Owned....  Camden gets our share of Transfers as well but more because They cant get time at Henry County or just move here because the folks got Jobs at Dupont or TVA.  As long as they move here and follow TSSAA Regs we enjoy it. 99% of Camden football players   grew up right here.I am sure its no different there . EVERY school has transfers  either from close by or far away..winning brings out the excuses/tissues/accusations 

You're correct Beagle. Show me a successful program and I'll show you someone crying foul. Just the nature of the beast I reckon. Good problem to have.

Any score predictions?

These 2 played last year and I believe the score was 27-21 Fairview. I'm thinking something similar to that.

Having seen Fairview this fall and knowing the type of athletes and physicality Stratford plays with I have to say the Spartans win by 2 TDs.

I don't believe Fairview will be able to contain the Stratford running back nor can their line keep Stratford's defense at bay to move the ball.

Stratford 28

Fairview 14

If Stratford plays like they did against Pearl I'm going 27-17 Stratford.

Gonna be interesting to see how the Spartans back up that performance. If they do I'd be inclined to agree with you. I'm hoping that was an anomaly though! Lol

You could very well be right District. I haven't seen much on Stratford but a little film. I'll be shocked if they hold Fairview to 14 though. If they do I think it will be because they kept the ball away from us like they did Pearl.

From the Tennessean

Stratford (4-8) at Fairview (10-2)

When: 7 p.m. Friday
Stratford’s James Moore was unstoppable a week ago, running for a career-high 320 yards and three scores in the Spartans’ second-round upset of top-seeded Pearl-Cohn. Mr. Football finalist Kam-Harris Lusk scored five total touchdowns in Fairview’s 33-22 win over East Nashville. A semifinal trip to Covington likely awaits the winner.
Kreager: Fairview 34, Stratford 26
Murphy: Fairview 31, Stratford 21

Alot of folks are looking at Stratfords regular season record and erroneously judging them based on it. I guarantee Fairview isn't overlooking them. 

Both of these teams are 2-0.

Also they got it wrong. Kam only scored 3 TDs last week.

We are definitely the underdawg here against Covington. But this Milan team is better than their 8-4 record indicates. 3 losses to Covington, Huntingdung and Peabody who went a combined 29-1 in the regular season. Almost beat Peabody’s and played Huntingdung close. Heck the 4th loss was to North Side who was a region champ and is still playing. We have improved ALOT since the first time we played Covington. Should be a fight. Best of luck to you guys.
