Giles is a tremendous team so they should take care of the Wildcats, but in region play I think they can hold their own.

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.

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.
