West TN Rural Top 10 Week 8

[BIGPURPLEMACHINE]

1.  Henry Co. 6-1 W 45-13 over Portland

2.  Dyersburg 7-0 W 30-0 over Westview 

3.  JCS 7-0 W 35-7 over FACS

4. Hardin Co. 7-0 W 35-3 over Chester Co. 

5.  Dresden 7-0 W 31-28 over Union City

6.  Huntingdung 5-1 W 22-15 over Riverside

7.  McKenzie 6-1 W 57-7 over Perry Co. 

8.  Munford 6-1 W 31-7 over Arlington

9.  Haywood 6-1 W 50-12 over Trezevant

10. Riverside 5-2 L 22-15 to Stanks

Outside Looking In:  Covington 5-2, Milan 6-1, TCA 4-2, South Gibson 5-2, Crockett 5-2, Union City 4-3

Dyersburg and JCS with impressive wins this week. The Stanks move up after 3 big wins in a row. Moving ahead of the only team to beat them on the season as I feel if that game were played now the outcome would be different. Several really solid teams in West TN, but are these the best 10??

Pretty solid list.

You know there’s talent in the area when teams the caliber of Covington and Milan are on the outside looking in. Not saying they should be higher as I don’t know who you would bump.

BTW, go Trojans!

I like the Mustangs at #4. I think we're better than Hardin Co and JCS!

You think you could with stand the passing attack of those two?  I don’t know if you match up well with the stud receiver for JCS. I feel pretty confident they could send him out on a deep route and y’all wouldn’t have anyone to stop him. Hardin CO’s qb May be the best in the area. So you don’t think y’all are better than Dresden??

Mustangs and Lions are a very similar. Both very physical,just wear you down. Would love to see that matchup. Hardin Co ain't beat nobody. That QB would have a hard time getting out of bed on Saturday morning after an encounter with the Mustang defense. JCS's QB has Huntingdon roots, but still not enough. JCS has a few playmakers but the Mustangs have a bunch.

Since Huntingdung and JCS won’t play each other this season, all we can do is look at each team’s performance against like opponents. You think the Stanks and Dresden would be a great game between two similar team and I agree.  However I think that JCS is a good bit better than both Dresden and the Stanks. Here is my reasoning. USJ beat Union City. Dresden struggled to beat Union City. JCS destroyed USJ. The last 2 weeks JCS has not just beaten undefeated teams, they have dismantled them. They have a receiver that will go to college pretty much wherever he wants. May be the best player in West TN. Nobody has even come close to stopping him so far. I don’t think Huntingdung could either. Now I fully admit I could be wrong. Huntingdung has beaten 3 really good teams the last 3 weeks. Hats off to them.

Good list, hate to see us drop but it’s obviously warranted. Ready to see us and Milan play!

Never know that’s why they play BPM

I have to have Hardin County at either 2 or 2B. While the boys at Stanktown are a top notch team, the numbers game has to favor Hardin Co in a theoretical matchup. Overall size, speed, and depth have to be taken into account. Their offense will win games but when faced against a team as big, strong, and quick it's definitely not designed for an air raid or a quick rally. JMO
