Trousdale at Friendship Christian

[OLD PIRATE]

Old Pirate has got TC in this feud against them Circle Fly fellers. 

[BCB~MVP]

Another Year Means , Another Year of BCB~MVP's

By the Numbers: Week 1 TC at FCS. Wow what a way to start the season. This is a match-up of 2 2018 State Runner-ups!        

Friendship Christian 2018 Review: Last year saw the Commanders tally a 9-3 record and eventually fell to Davidson Academy in the Finals 27-39. They averaged 36.6 ppg (points per game) while giving up 15.4 ppg.  

2019 Outlook: This year the Commanders look to find their way back to Cookeville but they have a tough schedule ahead of them.  4 of the first 5 games are against teams that advanced to the Playoffs. However, the 3 bigger games in that stretch will all be played on their home turf (yes Turf is the correct word, as over the offseason Pirtle Field recieved a makeover). That should lessen the blow. The back half of their schedule appears to be lighter, although a Week 11 trip to Crossville to face 4A Stone Memorial will certainly be a challenge. If Coach McNeal and his staff can keep the boys from Possum Town healthy in that match-up, I feel they will be primed to make another deep run this year.          

Trousdale Co. 2018 Review:   Trousdale Co. rallied to finish the 2018 year with a 11-4 mark and capped the year with a 17-9 slobber knocker loss to Peabody in the Championship. Last year, the Jackets put up 30 ppg, while only giving up 11.3 ppg.  The Hartsville Club lost some talented kids and good leaders but they also played alot of youth the last couple of years under the reign of Brad Waggoner.

2019 Outlook: Coach Blake Satterfield now takes over as Head Coach on the Creekbank. If that name sounds familiar, it should. Blake's Grandfather (Jim B.) and Father (Clint) are both apart of the TSSAA Hall of Fame and both have their own storied careers as Head Coach at Trousdale Co. Blake played for his father and helped the Jackets claim the 2005 1A Class Title. He then took his talent and played college ball at the University of the South. Since graduating, Blake as been on staff at Trousdale Co. serving in various roles, most recently as the DC during last seasons Runner-up finish. Blake's squad has been picked in the Top 5 of 2A ever since the 2018 season ended and are the odds on favorite to take Region 4AA. This years schedule features only 9 match-ups but the non region schedule could be a challenge. FCS always provides a tough out and will be a big test to open the season. Gordonsville in W4 and Macon Co. in W6 are old rivals and won't let the Jackets easily off the hook and Portland in W8 should be better after making the 2018 playoff field. Watertown is determined to defend their Region Championship, and I'd expect they will be present a quality game for TC in W3. Westmoreland is another old rival and region foe that is looking to build on their 2018 playoff bid.  

Match-Up History: These 2 met last year in Week 2 in Lebanon. In that game, the Jackets prevailed with a 27-21 victory. Going back to 2000, these 2 have faced off 16 times. TC has a 10-6 record in those contest, however FCS has won 4 of the last 7. in those 16 games the average score has been TC 18.5 - FCS 14.7. History shows the tight match-up between the 2 schools.

My Take: This W1 game will be one of the best match-ups all week and maybe of the season. When these 2 rivals square off, real football is played! I look for this to go the same way this series has gone over the past several years. A tight ball game coming down to the 4th quarter. The team with the least amount of mistakes will prevail. Final score is too close to call.

Always enjoy these from you. They are very informative. Sounds like you all are poised to make a good run this year.

Hopefully Yeti, you will see one that includes Meigs again this year. If so, that means we have both had a good year! Best of Luck to you!

You too bud, hope to see you and that radioman as Roy would call him on "our" sidelines before our game this year if we are both fortunate enough for it to turn out that way.

Yep, it has to be exciting to be a parent of a starting player. I hope he stays healthy all year!

I'm excited until I look at the schedule and see that next week is a bye. At least in two weeks, we have another big game really the region championship.
