Glad to see Beech/HC will continue. Heard neither coach was real happy with the APSU thing.

If that was directed at me, I said anything better than 6-4 would be a nice season, and I stand by it. We are losing an excellent group of seniors from a team that was not as deep as years past and included several 2-way players, against a schedule that isn't getting any easier. 8-2 could be possible, especially considering I know nothing about what Haywood, Brentwood, and Germantown have coming back, but it will likely be a very tall order. 

  

Didn't mean to come across as harsh as it sounded. But we have come to expect excellence in our football program in Henry County. One can say we are a little spoiled when you look around at other programs who struggle to get to the .500 mark on a yearly basis. We don't get passed the quarterfinals and feel like it was a "down" year. I do understand that it will be a re-loading year. That being said, I expect to win at least 2 out of the 4 non-region games and sweep the Clarksville region.

No worries. I agree with most of what you're saying here.

So the games with Beech at APSU are over? I always thought that was a great idea.

Happy New Year to everyone! Hope its a great 2019!!! GO BIG RED!!!!

Congrats to Ethan Thompson (Murray State), Samari Rack (Bethel), and Alex Coffield (Sewanee) on signing football scholarships. 

Wouldn't be surprised to see Paxton Pierpoint, Nick Metzinger, and Will Parish (football or baseball) to land somewhere as well. 

Great job and best of luck to all.

Any news on the high school field? Is that happening this year or what?

We outscored Lexington 3 to 2. But I would give the edge to the  Tigers because we couldn't get their D line blocked an they essentially shut down our run game. Our run offense consisted of two nice long runs by the two Kendalls, J. and D. with one each The passing game was impressive with Eli being accurate on both long and short routes.Defense did pretty good except for once again allowing runners to get outside.

 

GO BIG RED

Running game will be fine. The passing game seems to be encouraging after last week and this week. One thing is for sure it will be another exciting season for the Patriots! Very tough non region schedule should make it interesting. 

GO PATRIOTS!!!!
