Lawrence County Travels to Tullahoma

[TTownFan50]

These 2 teams are hunting for the final playoff spot along with Greenbrier.  The loser of this game will basically be eliminated from the playoffs, no pressure.  LC always seams to play Tullahoma tuff.  It appears Tullahoma has found some chemistry, so I believe Tullahoma wins a very physical  game 23-13.

Any other thoughts?

I did mention in another post I been watch tullahoma football pretty close for the last 10 years and they are 5-5 over that stretch.  I didn’t realize the overall series was that lopsided.

Tullahoma wins the contest. LC just dosent have enough yet to compete.

LC will want to run, and that plays into the strength of the Tullahoma defense. I think Tullahoma wins by 2-3 scores.

The Tullahoma team just looked different last Thursday. I know Montgomery central didn't seem to have the ability to answer when the cats really got moving. But Tullahoma's offense seemed to have figured out when to use the right player at the right time.  That was lacking in the first few games.  I would almost call it deceptively dangerous at times. But they look like they could have handled CreekWood and Marshall County with the game plan they had. Maybe we will get to see at least one of those in a post season rematch.

I hear coach Sisk say over and over at every interview, "we are working on this and were getting better at that and we got some young guys that are gonna figure it out as we keep working in practice". It sounded so cliche' to give that as the stock answer over and over game after game. But it was apparently true, they are working on this and that and they did have young guys getting better and showing them game film mistakes and working hard to correct them is possible. I know from a "Jimmy and joe" standpoint we don't likely match up the best with some of the teams that will be in the playoffs. But i see the team possibly peaking at the right time of the season to at least have a  chance to get  in a few more games and maybe get a rematch to avenge a short staffed loss from earlier in the season. If they can stay healthy and play some mistake free football they could surprise some people that had wrote them off for dead after the Pearl-Cohn loss. I have always believed that on any given Friday night, its just the 11 kids on the field that wanted it the most that could win. Size helps and talent helps but preparation and heart goes along way to overcoming obstacles.  I could stand to see another 6 or 7 weeks of  wildcat football this fall.

It also helped that after Pearl Cohn, Tullahoma was fortunate enought to play Hillwood and Montgomery Central. 

Friday night inside Wilkins Stadium should be a fun one!

Looking at the schedule, Lawrenceburg has played teams such as Summertown and Loretto and the way that the score looked, they barely hung on to beat them. Tullahoma all the way in this one.

I'm not a Lorreto fan BUT they are not terrible. They played Wayne Co, Mt. Pleasant, and Moore Co close. All 3 of those teams will be in the postseason. Lorreto is Lawrence County's only "quality win". Meanwhile Lawreneburg bombed Summertown 50-7. I wouldn't call that barely hanging on to win.

Gotta make some adjustments to defend the Wing T. LC's big back is a bruiser! 

[PercyPeabody]

Nice job of bending and not breaking. LC shooting themselves in the foot with bad penalties and a turnover. Disappointed in the short field not producing a TD but an 18 yard field gives the 10-7 lead to THS.
