This will be one of the better games of the week.

It will be the 100th meeting between these two teams. 

Clarksville will have the Home Field advantage and may be the better team, led by a very strong O-line.

But Springfield always plays Clarksville hard, and they have the momentum of winning the last 4 meetings. Coach Shelby is 3 and 6 against the jackets since he's been at CHS, and this is most likely  seen as a must win game for a team that is looking to be seen as a legitimate program.

Clarksville's field is in the best shape I have ever seen it in, and Friday looks to be a hot one with a high of 99.

I recommend Dock 17 restaurant for Jacket's fans looking to grab dinner near-by.

@pilgrim

Have you heard if there is a move to start the game later?

I can see this being a 14-10 type game….that’s if Springfields defense can slow Cats offense down. I still feel this will be a tough game for the Jackets to win. Both teams started the season playing so-so opponents and one game was way closer than the other…..I don’t know

If we stop the option, we have a puncher’s chance, if we don't stop the option, it could be bad.  Two BIG ifs, IMHO

Can you actually get a physical copy of the Leaf-Chronicle anymore via store etc ?Cant get to download navigating Gannet website is torture, they ruined our hometown newspaper. Really interested in reading article. If you’ve ever read a post of mine you know I’m interested in history and the 100th Anniversary of this game is awesome.

At least the sun will be lower, but the humidity isn’t going anywhere

Decent game so far, IF you defend the option correctly turnovers is what you get, Some ups and downs so far, still anyone's game...

Clarksville up 14-7 at the half...

They have gashed the Jackets with the slice over and over again, the kid finally broke it, Clarksville up 21-7
