Crazy to think they wouldn’t show since their bussing was being paid for them. No excuse. 

Makes you wonder if their coach had something else planned to do on Friday and used a convenient excuse, 

is Manassas the team that only had like 16 players on their roster?

Yeah, they didn't have a transportation issue, they had a "we didn't want to get beat by 68 (since that was the actual spread) issue."

Since the 2016 season Manassas only won 7 games total. They lost to Freedom Prep by a score of 50-0 last week. I understand driving from just north of St. Jude all the way to Milan is a long drive, but there shouldn't be an excuse. With that being said, there's a problem with West Tennessee teams playing these charter schools out of Memphis. I'm all for playing Millington, Bartlett, Arlington Collierville, Whitehaven, etc.

South Gibson played Westwood (coach by Orentheus Taylor), and lost 18-0 by Douglass, and they called Friday morning claiming there won't be a game due to Covid. 

Dyersburg has been playing MLK-Prep since the beginning of the 2015 season. Teams are much better off going to Kentucky and Missouri/Arkansas (specifically Dyersburg) to play a game. McNairy Central, Middleton, Adamsville, and Hardin County play Mississippi teams all the time.

With that being said, this is also a Milan issue. I understand scheduling football games are hard. But a Milan/Dyersburg matchup will be more intriguing. Keep in mind, they did play a preseason matchup.

They did preseason and 7 v 7. In talking with Diffee and Stowe they are very happy with the current arrangement in working out with each other. Has been good for both teams. As for MLK, I will give them credit. They always show with no problems.

So I just learned that this game will not be on the radio this Friday and will not be streamed via 101.5. This is weird. I’ve been so accustomed to hear that broadcast when I could not be at a South Gibson vs Milan game. I can’t believe that they could find another way to show the games even if it was Facebook live. The guy broadcasting, Steven Rich, always did a great job and was a good ambassador for the school and kids. Something is up with that. I’m going to have to do some digging.

    • Gleason all over west Carroll in scrimmage. Gleason is big and fast 
    • Defending 2A state Champs Westview Lady Chargers are pretty tough. They lost a bunch of production off last year's squad but returned some talent as well. They still McCall Simms, a Tennesseee Lady Vol softball commit as well as solid talent around the diamond. I dont think they are as good as last season but they will definitely be a tough out. Huntingdon Lady Mustangs seem to be pretty stout as well. Don't know much about Riverside other than Westview defeated them earlier in regions. West Tennessee softball is pretty solid all around id say.
    • Eagleville couldn’t catch up to Jones, he did have his location issues but in that game Eagleville popped up everything and the one hit they did have could have been ruled an error. Jeffcoat was a lot sharper in the beginning of the season last year than the end. ER ran out of pitching and still was in striking distance but none the less the better team one. Last seasons tournament was A LOT more balanced and talented. South Pitts starter is a Lefty who was low 80’s but couldn’t maintain his velo throughout the  outing, their #2 was more impressive last year, we knocked him around this year and his mph was down some. Their #3 isn’t bad neither, throws a lot of strikes and sits high 70’s.
    • He actually had a really solid spring.  I could see him getting some backup snaps on offense and be a regular on special teams.  Really athletic kid who can run.
