West TN Rural Top 10 Preseason

[mrbigster]

Think Covington had some penalties and turnover that kept them from scoring.But it's part of it.So think UC and Covington will both be tough.

[Tornado82]

The turnovers were not near the end zone. One penalty was but was just 5 yard penalty. They had 15 yard penalty but was after UC touchdown and was assessed afterwards.Yes Covington will be good and go far this year.

Meant no offense but the way Wc struggled with assignments and execution reminded me of teams that always seem to finish near the bottom. I know coach Morris is a better coach than that but it didn't look pretty. 

I meant no offense either. Best y'all could do is round 2 vs mase

I feel Haywood will ride the struggle bus this year. New head coach, new QB. It will be tough for them to pick up where thy left off last year like they normally do. I want to give Puckett the benefit of a year or two to engrain his philosophy into the program. This is not saying they won't have a winning record, i just can't see them in the semis this year, and I'm a tomcat fan.

I will take your word for it. Anxious to see how the season unfolds for the Tomcats

Won't be surprised if PURE Academy does beat Haywood. Last year, PURE did lose to MUS. However, they were tied at 7 at the end of the first half. 

PURE Academy has an all road schedule. No home games for them. They have the toughest schedule in the state. Teams included: Haywood, Cookeville, Hardin County, Pearl-Cohn, Blackman, Walker Valley, a team from Missouri, and two teams from Mississippi. No team from Memphis is going to travel to north of Chattanooga in Cleveland to play, and get beat by 50.

I legit wish the kids well. You never want to see young people go through hard times. But as I am reading the comments about the 23 season my mind goes back to some comments about how teams were ducking the Tomcats because of their strength. In hindsight it may be a blessing that Haywood wasn’t able to fill the non-region schedule with the elites of the area.
