Opening night has 2 teams losing in the region..that being Community and Eagleville. Loretto shuts out Wayne County 7-0, Summertown shuts out Mt Pleasant in the 2nd half to win 13-12, Lewis County does the same to Riverside in a 8-7 win. Forrest bumps off East Robertson 10-0. Eagleville has an impressive first half offensive showing but Huntland holds them in check in 2nd half to win 36-27. Community-they played. Cornersville dumps the Vikes 36-6.

Opening night thoughts---Looks like a ton of defense in this region. The lone bright spot offensively looks to be Eagleville but they really shot themselves in the foot in the 2nd half with the turnover on downs and the fumble on the 3 that was returned for a TD (not sure if it was a 3 yard return or a 97 yard return). Even Loretto got in on the defensive end with the shutout. Wayne County had the ball under a minute left inside the 5 with a 1st down and got stuffed on 4th down from the 2. Great goal line stand there.

Good recap.  Not sure if it was great defense alone or lack of scrimmages and the weather affecting The offenses.  It was the latter in Chapel Hill tonight. Their 4 star WR dropped what would’ve been a 80 yard TD pass in the 1st quarter and then had an 80 yard TD catch in the 2nd Quarter called back on a penalty.

Summertown was down 12-0 but was able to get the win 13-12. The rain was definitely an issue. Hope next week is dry.

Summertown gets to 2-0 with a 26-6 win over Wayne Co. The Eagles had 3 turnovers in the game and a turnover on downs as well. Jayvon Edmiston goes 14 carries for 114 yards with 3 scores-2 rushing and 1 receiving. Colton Schaffer goes for 72 yards passing on a wet track. Seemed rather sloppy to me, but they took care of business.

I dont know--Forrest has been a thorn in our side in football. Maybe this is the year we get that monkey off the back?

Forrest played about 1/3 of a game of the best football you will ever see, then went into safe mode and lost to a very mediocre Portland team in sickening fashion. I'm not sure Eli can be trusted with the keys to drive himself home tonight.

Lweis Co 2-0
Summertown 2-0
Loretto 1-1
Forrest 1-1
Eagleville 0-1
Community 0-2

Havent seen the stats from Lewis County, but I would suspect they went old fashioned run it down the throat in the big win over Cheatham Co to go 2-0. Summertown was a little sloppy with 3 turnovers, but got the job done to go 2-0 with the 26-6 win. Loretto gets listed 3rd due to points scored. They blew up for 38 tonight.....but gave up 54. In all fairness, they did play 4A Lawrence County so putting up 38 on them is an eye opener. Forrest blows a 14-10 halftime lead and drops to 1-1 in loss to Portland. Havent seen anything on Eagleville yet. Community seems to have packed it in already getting abused by 1A Moore Co.

Forrest was up 14 to 6 at half and 14 to 12 late in the fourth
