BIGPURPLEMACHINE Posted October 31, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 2 hours ago, RexKwonDo said: Good list BPM. One would think Haywood could beat all on the list except Henry County, Hardin Co. and Dyersburg, but I haven't followed Haywood this year so that is an assumption. So with leaving Haywood out 7-10 and the outside looking ins are all real close to one another. So going by records I don't see an argument on this list except for Haywood and I may be way off for even mentioning Haywood. 12 hours ago, 1983 said: I would have Huntingdon 3 and Riverside 4 and Hardin Co. 5. For Hardin County to struggle with a struggling Lexington team makes me question how good they are. Dresden would be 6th. Let me tell you guys my thinking with Haywood. Over the last few years Haywood has struggled the most (if you can call it a struggle) with physical teams that run right at you. That’s why they had a close game with Obion this year and Crockett. They lost to South Gibson a time or two when Stidham was coach and they ran that option based offense. They have flexed their muscle on teams that have tried to spread them out and out athlete them (ex. Dyer Co. last week). So looking at the teams ahead of them, Hardin Co has proven they can beat Haywood already this year. I think Dyersburg and Henry Co could as well. Teams like the Stanks and Riverside are better at pounding the rock then Obion and Crockett and play better defense so I think they could take Haywood. But that’s just my two cents and why I have Haywood where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the Dyer Co. game (on TV) and the Tomcat D appeared solid with the run game. Now i do not have stats so correct me if i'm wrong. They are definitely improving every week. I'm not saying that Haywood could beat the other teams but it would be a lot harder than earlier in the season. Again, i fully respect your opinion. Just making conversation. (plus i am a little biased) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are teams not allowed to have bad games? I had a feeling you were waiting to say that, you just didn't know when to say it, until now.

Riverside80 Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 Hardin county’s win was kind of wild too. The refs called an obvious interception an incomplete pass that would’ve won Lexington the game. At least from film that was put on Facebook it was on obvious interception but from a referees point of view I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(plus i am a little biased) Haywood’s improved each week, and are getting hot at the right time. Dyer has been running wild with their two headed monster in the backfield and Haywood kept them in check. Their run defense has vastly improved since playing Hardin. Outside of the long run hard had, their run game was non existent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
