Still a long season ahead, I wouldn't count anybody out. Lawrence County  has run the Wing T for years, and  a lot of teams have trouble defensing that offense.

You got that right! Lincoln Co was getting killed early on the sweep (ends couldn't contain) and then LaCo would come back with the counter play. Falcons didn't really adjust accordingly to stop it until midway through the 3rd Q. Holding penalties really hurt LaCo or they could've jumped out to a bigger lead before the half.

Big win for Franklin County, big win Shelbyville over Columbia. Still a long season ahead Shelbyville is the front runner, with Columbia 2nd, and Franklin County 3rd, in Region 5-5A. Fourth place is wide open between the rest of the teams.

I agree with your top 3 but like you said it's early. 

1. Shelbyville 

2. Columbia

3. Franklin Co

4. Lawrence Co

Interesting  region games this week Columbia at Lawrence County, and Tullahoma at Lincoln County. The rest of the teams are out of the region Franklin County at Moore Co., Shelbyville at Wilson Central, Spring Hill vs James Lawson.

I would give Tullahoma the edge over Lincoln County, but the Falcons always play tough at the Pit.  Columbia seems to be getting better every week I would give them edge over Lawrence Co. I think Moore Co., will beat Franklin Co. in a close game.

Yeah I'm trying to decide if I want to go to Lynchburg or the Pit. I do think the Falcons could give Tullahoma a fit if they get Hammonds rolling. I thought he played really well against LaCo.

Yeah I could see Tullahoma struggling and possibly losing. This is the worst Tullahoma offense since the winless 2015 season. And the play calling by the coaches isn't helping. I could see them not making the playoffs, if they don't get things turned around.

Franklin County- Moore County should be a great game. I think Moore County wins in a close game.

It's midweek. Let's hear your predictions for these two big tilts.

Region Games

Columbia at Lawrence Co

Tullahoma at Lincoln Co

 

Columbia beats Lawrence Co. in Lawrenceburg. Too much team speed. Tra'Darius Goff is getting the Lions on track. Their narrow loss to Shelbyville tells me they are capable of hosting a playoff game. Lions -13.5.

Tullahoma is teetering after its close loss to Franklin Co. The Rebels really dominated time of possession and the 'Cats will be without Kai Johnson this week. He is their top playmaker and returned a kick 75 yards for a TD last week. Lincoln Co. has lost its top two running backs and is reeling. Wildcats -6.5.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
