Henry County @ Clarksville NW

Both teams come into the contest 1-3 on the season, but one team has faced far better competition than the other. I think it's safe to say Henry County IS the best 1-3 team in the state. I dont think anybody would have predicted this kind of start for the Big Red. Me personally was hoping at worse we would be 2-2 at this point. I'm also hoping the extremely tough schedule will help us in region play and in November.

On a positive note, the Grove freshmen are looking really good.

Calling out a specific kid over and over while hiding behind a screen name is cowardly. If you’re going to call him out in multiple posts/threads, at least sign your name to it. Some of the things you say are not wrong, but you act like he’s the reason we’ve lost 3 games, and he’s far from that. If you have a bone to pick with the kid, and you know him, maybe go talk to him one off instead of bashing him on a public forum.

I just saw a 5A poll on Instagram and they have Henry County listed as the 15th best team in 5A! I know they go by records and all that but if anybody believes there is 14 teams better than Henry County in 5A they are full of absolute $hit!!

HC shouldn't be ranked highly in any poll right now. They are 1-3 and haven't done anything but beat up on an average Kenwood team. 

They will end up fine, but the benefit of the doubt kinda goes out the window when you lose to all the good teams on your schedule. Records count. It's like the NCAA top 25. You may have a good roster and a tough schedule, but if you drop 3 of your first 4 games you're getting left out.

May be but I dont agree with that at all. The funny thing is if we beat Brentwood like we should have, the talk would be totally different.

Speaking of running backs whatever happened to Donte Davis. He was a beast in middle school.

He played 1 year at the high school and that was his senior year. That was like 2 years ago I think.

The Tennessean has the more accurate polls in my opinion. Strength of schedule does mean something. We didn't get blowed out by Beech or Brentwood.
