To be fair, any fan wants their team to win. I'm not a fan of this gauntlet of a schedule we seem to have every year. If you aren't winning, fans won't show up, fans won't be as enthusiastic as they would if we was winning more. Thats just how it works. I dont suggest we have the easiest schedule, but I think they should lighten up somewhat on the scheduling of games. Just my 2 cents. 

I'm not crazy about the frontloaded schedule either. It takes too much wind out of the sails. I loved the week 6 or 7 Germantown game we played for those few years when they were strong. That was a perfectly placed, tough, mid-season opponent and both teams were usually at their best. Even when we lost to them it felt like we got something good out of it. For week 1 I'd rather have a tune-up game to give the team some confidence. 

But I know a lot of that is out of the coaches' control, as they're beholden to region schedules and the teams gotta have mutual open dates for it to work. Plus, I hear a lot of the local teams simply will not schedule us. We were probably fortunate to get South Gibson and Tilghman.  

It is nice to have a region opponent like Springfield to balance out the back end somewhat.

I could see this game as a trap game because of Springfield next week and homecoming this week. Go to be focused on this game to get the job done.

Was reported that SG lost three starters from OL during NS game.

I now take back my prediction. It will be worse

Very intriguing matchup. I expect HC will win this one but it probably will not be easy.

I think I will make the drive and watch this one!

My prediction  HC 42 - SG 18.

Might be close for a while...Henry County pulls away and puts it on them

I have always had the utmost respect for the Henry County Patriots. What is it that makes them so successful year in and year out? Obviously, their tradition is unmatched. I just haven't had the chance to view their footage this year to see what they do well for myself.

End of 1st:

Henry County - 3
