The tough road continues this week for Henry County

Great win Friday night over Dyer County. All three phases of the game were dominated by the Patriots. Our freshman quarterback has made some huge strides since week one at Haywood. Was great to see 5 back at RB. Hope to get 8 back this week as well.

Now onto Brentwood. They won last night 63-0. They look to be in mid season form in the young season and clicking on all cylinders. Could be a favorite to compete for the 6A crown. Our Big Red Machine seems to be improving every week. Not expecting to win this game, but I definitely think it is possible if we play well and catch a few breaks. Hoping for an injury free night. My early feeling is 27-23 Brentwood. Hope I’m wrong. GBR

Brentwood is indeed very tough, possibly  a top 5 team in 6A this year. HC definitely has their work cut out for them, but we schedule these games for a reason. I hear Brentwood is a good passing team. Could present some new and different challenges for our defense.

I will say 28-20 Brentwood, and that’s factoring home field into the equation. I initially had 35-20 typed out. We have outperformed my predictions each of the last two weeks and I am hopeful that trend continues.

I'm not posting a prediction until Thursday. Going to study film on them and see how good they really are. They beat MBA, Cane Ridge and Dickson County. Just would like to throw this out. Those teams combined are 2-9 so far this season. Compared to Henry Countys three opponents are Haywood, Beech, and Dyer County with a combined record of 7-2. But I will study film and see how legit they are. Not going to get too excited either way until I see for myself. 

GO BIG RED

Watching film on Brentwood/Dickson County. DC's whole team is a slop fest! They are terrible. Worse than a middle school team! Brentwood flys to the ball on defense. Fast receivers, really good QB, they like to run screens a lot. They are good at what they do and are very well coached of course. Here are the Stats:

Brentwood 

Total Yards - 480

Passing Yards - 351

Rushing Yards - 129

Dickson County 

Total Yards - 45

Passing Yards - 25

Rushing Yards - 20

Brentwood is very strong defensively, will be the best you have seen, they are good offensively, and well coached.....

I am going to say Brentwood 34-13, give or take a score on either side.....

Well if you take a score away from Brentwood and add one to HC you got yourself a ball game. Interesting. So u say possible 27-20?

Dickson County is terrible, but records aside, MBA and Cane Ridge are usually very solid. Both have lost to the same two opponents (Brentwood and Pearl Cohn). 

On a side note, Pearl Cohn must be freaking loaded this year. Aren’t they 3A? :shock:

Pearl Cohn usually is loaded, but having it translate to the postseason has been a struggle for them at times

This is a winnable game for HC. Limit mistakes and capitalize on scoring opportunities.  Beech moved the ball but had a problem capitalizing on their opportunities when they scrimmaged (missing several starters as well). 

Cane Ridge moved the ball on them as well. Just had fumbles giving Brentwood short fields.

Very misleading stat. MBA's losses are to Brentwood and Pearl Cohn. Cane Ridge's losses are to Pearl Cohn and Brentwood. Dickson is terrible, but to beat another 6a team 63-0 is very impressive. Brentwood will win this one comfortably. Dyer County's two wins are against Crockett and Obion. I respect Henry County as a 5a program, but no way a top 2 team in Williamson County loses to Henry County.

    • Worst thing SC could do is get rid of Dyer. I agree with everything said above.
    • Jada Hart, Jasmine Bailey and Kaitlyn Patterson the first two being PG's are all good guards and can handle ball pressure and are good players. Raven Wells will be a good post. There were games this summer where any one of the one's I mentioned were in double figures. Gibson County will control TO's much better this year and they will press more and get back to playing faster. AA is down across the board. I have been all over watching ball. Alcoa jumped to AAA and Jackson County moved down. to A. No telling who wins it this year. I agree Union City, Westview and Gibson County will be a dogfight and must see basketball. Poster insuated that Gibson County has a mental block against Westview. Well give me Maddie Gray and we line up last year and they wouldn't have won a game. Let's see how Westview does this year. Their starting five last year had three transfers in it. Rogers from Obion, Trevathon from Greenfield and Gray from South Fulton. Looks like they swung and missed with the girl from Florida this year so let's see how they do playing with kids from Westview. Gibson County has a really good 7th grade class this year.I have done learned you play with what you got and work them hard and develop them and see what happens. Just keep battling and see what happens. I like our team this year. Very athletic. Every year is the same with injuries and can be catistrophic to any. I watched GC all summer long. South Side and GC was very evenly matched and was a classic war.We had some quality wins this summer. Beat Huntingdon, Henry County, Bowling Green, Liitle Rock Central as well as a couple other quality Kentucky Teams. Westview's talent pool may not be what it has been without transfers the next few. And as far as Wilkins riding off into the sunset, where do y'all seem to think he will leave?? Wilkins is a healthy dude and he loves basketball and loves coaching. I wouldn't be suprised if he coaches a few more years. He loves the game and loves every minute of coaching.   
    • I think Gibson County is a top five team this next season but I do agree they will drop off a lot after this year.  Westview lost a ton and will be down this season and hopes of returning to glass house again is slim.  The run they have had is super impressive!
    • My take on GC for this year: Based on what I saw last year and heard this summer, I’m not sure GC could surprise me next year with any outcome. Wilkins is a great coach - they could win the district and region and go to Murfreesboro. They could also come in third in the district and not get out of region. The two returning starters are very talented but Guru is right that they didn’t always play hard last year. The other three starters are good enough in their roles for GC to be successful. There is no depth. Foul trouble could be a problem - Wilkins may avoid it by playing a lot of zone. An injury would be catastrophic. I hope they have a big year and Wilkins rides off into the sunset in Murfreesboro because, without some significant transfers, there are some tough years coming in the next few.
    • Daniel Boone coming down to 3A makes this much tougher. They added a couple transfers to the Flores girl. Cocke Co, Northview, Greeneville, and Daniel Boone - only two headed to Murfreesboro.
