Yeah I see that now….thanks for correcting me

I haven't seen Tullahoma or the scrimmage he's referring to.   It's difficult to gauge common opponents in the regular season,   much less any scrimmages.  

I think this will be a good game.  I have Moore County as the favorite but I can see FC hanging tough.  Maybe even pull an upset.  Apparently,  this is homecoming.  Distractions?

Off topic, but Tullahoma is terrible on offense, undersized, and don't have the athletes on offense like they had 2020 and 2021. And a questionable hire as head coach.

I don't know anything about the head coach.

I'd say, John Olive left some mighty big shoes to fill.  

Those last few classes they've had were pretty special.  I saw them win the title. Great game.

@PercyPeabody,  you prolly know these 2 programs fairly well?  Maybe more so here lately?

What say you?

I was at the game it was a historic season for Tullahoma. I think  Coach Olive saw the handwriting on the wall, and saw the down turn in talent in the upcoming classes, which prompted his retirement. Tullahoma is not a program that reloads, it s always been a program that's been up and down.

I honestly think it'll be a great game. Franklin Co has some great athletes especially at receiver WHEN the QB has time to get them the ball. The key for FC is the o-line. I hate to hear that one of them is hurt right now. FC definitely has the depth advantage still.

Moore Co obviously has Dawson and some of the biggest linemen I've seen at the school since their great run of region titles in the 90s. Many play iron man football but that's typical in 1A. 

Now for my VERY unpopular take. I am ultra competitive. Always have been. I hate to lose more than I love to win. That being said as I've grown older, I hope I've become a little wiser. I tend to think of long term team goals in some instances. This is THE best team Moore Co has had since 99. I realize everyone wants to win homecoming but this game actually means nothing. It's not going to help win the region and won't mean much in the postseason. I guess one could say the experience of playing a bigger school could help provide some lessons you can take with you into the postseason... BUT one thing you MUST take into the playoffs is DAWSON. If he was to get hurt in this contest it would be devastating. I think you can handle it a tad better in a region match if it was to happen because something was on the line. MC hasn't won their region since 2012! I believe the best thing to do is let Dawson hand off and pass a little but not scramble near as much as he usually does. 

Now...for what actually will happen... Dawson has no fear. He slings it and runs head first just like Brett Favre would and that's why many folks are enamoured with him. He'll probably scramble for a couple of scores and throw for two others.

Moore Co 28 Franklin Co 17

I don’t care what the end score ended up being after the 1’s came out. I seen Tullahoma QB1 not being able to throw simple WR screens and a line that was very undersized  

As I said before you must not have been watching very well. After the 1s came out neither team scored again

MoCo will take this one.    Should.  

News is Franklin County's line has been decimated.

Superman is projected to have 200+ yards rushing. 

JD BBQ & Lemonade all around.

Hayworth stated during his Radio Show that #6 could be the best player they face all year while also noting the Coaching staff has noted MC scheduling this game for HomeComing!

Tension should be high down in the holler!

Lets GOOO!
