Memphis Middle College Bulldogs travel to Dresden Lions' Rotary Field Fri.10th, trying to upset us in the second round. This will be a great test for the Lions as this Memphis squad will be better than the last 4 teams we have faced. Will we be rusty? Over-confident? Overlooking them towards future games? Unprepared? .. We really have no excuses to not win, we are healthy in all positions, have depth, great coaching in how we are being prepared for our next opponents, have an awesome bond & brotherhood on & off the field, and WE GOT A KICKER to top it off (which is often a rarity in 1A, & that is a very important weapon!). Hopefully the winds of fortune are blowing right for our Lions, and that these city-slicker Bulldogs will be overwhelmed by the smells, sounds, & sights of the Lions' Den hog-farm out here in the country and they'll not have enough to upset the Lions this game. May all players & staff & cheerleaders & support people on all teams stay healthy & injury free, & may all fans traveling have safe journeys whether they have small or large trips. Sad to see only what, 5 fans or so for Middleton? It's always great for teams to have lots of supportive fans, but that is often not the case for a whole host of reasons. How many ever fans they have. the Lion Nation will be WAAAAY MORE, & we will be loud & proud, noisy & encouraging of our team, cheering them on in this next MUST WIN game. One at a time, one play at a time.. our hungry Lions are on a mission! BEAST MODE MEN! GOOOO LIONS! #1 ALL THE WAY! 
 

Score? 55-14 Lions win.

Middle College looks very fast and loves to use draw and outside zone runs to set there offense up. They may put up some points on Dresden. But on the defense Lake County was just to predictable is what It looked like to me. There wr screens you could see from a mile away ... and Mullins is good but you can't have 80% of you first half plays be just handing the football off to him. Unfortunately if the QB would have just took off and ran the ball instead of making some of his throws that hit the dirt could have been a different game.

In the 40s and rainy perfect playoff football weather. Dresden has no problem slowing the game down keeping it on the ground and pounding the ball if it's wet and sloppy.

Dresden 35 Middle 14

    • Best-of-three sectional series vs East Robertson at home starting Wednesday.  They put us out last year at this point.  Go Pirates!!
    • I don't believe they have anyone that is surbers caliber but a decent staff overall.
    • Richland plays at McKenzie on Wed.  Should be a good series.  Does Richland have good pitching?  
    • Congratulations to the Warrior baseball team winning the Region Championship.  Last night the football team beat Franklin Co 33-0 in their spring scrimmage. Warriors looked very good. Missing a few players who were playing baseball but still absolutely dominated. A lot of young ones got in halfway through the 3rd when the score reached 33-0. QB Tilton Pickett looked very sharp.  Sam Pickett is on another level this season. Seems to have put on 15 to 20 lbs in the off season and added a step as well. Transfer from last year Williamson caught numerous balls and is very elusive. Lots of athletes on this team. Defense was smothering and will only get better. The head coach from Sewanee was in attendance and offered 2 kids after the game. Could be a special year.
