AC is coming around and playing well.  Getting better.  I think they got a shot.  

I believe so. AC Moog was again a monster. He played with passion. The Defense was what I think the Mavs needed if they play a West TN team. QB Containment was like nothing I have ever seen in a Mav defense. And Zae AC QB was incredible!

Pretty tough schedule too!

Clinton has talent. And the QB is very talented. Hope he is ok because it would be good to see them win out and get in the playoffs. With Keith's talent he could surprise a few teams.

Wait what?  You puffin Mav? That's not what he was talkin' bout.  Congrats to the Mavs though. I think the wheels are  off the wagon as we speak.  10 in a row?

Thanks Cat. Well won't say my IMO this time. Haha But Clinton just keep the overturn revolving.

Easy money

Clinton made some huge stops when they had to, but couldn't end up stopping the run when they needed. Their offense killed themselves with penalties and the QB made some terrible decisions trying to not get sacked. As a 4 year starter he should know better. Being a coaches son also that is the most direct reflection of their leader. Clinton did not run the ball enough outside where they outmatched AC's speed. 8 did not touch the ball enough for Clinton either. Credit AC for being stubborn and running the ball when their past success in recent history has been throwing since Gillum got there. 

Clinton is still very much alive for the playoffs and a home playoff game as long as they handle Lenoir city and Karns. Lenoir could give them trouble but Karns is a win. The question with them is, have the Non Clinton recruits gotten fed up with the losing. I'm sure there were some promises and hope of greener pastures when coming down Clinton hwy. They are for sure battle tested. So if they can finish strong they will get a terrible team from the region they draw in the playoffs and win a game or two and HC will leave to "watch his son".

4A is very winnable for AC they should make a great run again and end up playing either Greeneville or Elizabethton. Which both of those programs seem to be down for their standards. Anything is possible for them

Jeff Co Qb transfer looked good for AC.

Jeff Co/OR WR transfer looked good as well. Without both of them AC is very one dimensional so kudos to them for being able to recruit them over.

Their home playoff game (if they finish 2nd) would most likely be against Rhea County or McMinn County.  If they are third they will travel to one of those teams.  I think they could beat Rhea, but McMinn will rush for 350 on that Clinton defense.  They better hope it's Rhea Co.

So by that you think Walker beats McMinn? I will be interested to see who comes out from that game. Both played Bradley and McMinn scored and Walker did not.

How about them Dragons! This was to be their year AGAIN, but 5-5 is the best they can hope for and then 5-6 or 6-6 and they're done. The optimism is always high until reality punches them in the mouth. Hey 92Dragon, what do you think is the problem and how does it get fixed?

Now, that I think about it, you're right. McMinn may get first and Clinton would get Rhea or Walker Valley.  I saw McMinn just hammer Oak Ridge but I have not seen WV yet.
