Cumberland Co Jets

[CCHSJets2002]

Ive heard all the teams we are playing this year has anyone how the schedule in order? Also how did spring go? Im picking them to finish in 2nd place in the region what does people think?

[coachcornbread]

Who do you pick to finish above them in the region? That region is one of the weakest 5A regions in the state. Should be a good game against McMinn to start the season off though.

The,Jets will improve as the year goes along.

I have it like this

 

(1) Lincoln Co

(2) Cumberland Co

(3) Cookeville

(4) Coffee Co

(5) Franklin Co

(6) Warren Co

no offense to cumberland co. and region 5-3a, but he is right, this region maybe the weakest in 5a, i mean just look at this region, it was totally dominated in the playoffs last year in region 4, even blackman beat you guys #1 team, cookeville. but this is not a flame, just a mere observation, but lincoln county can bring some respect to region 3 if they have a year like everybody thinks they can.

uhhh, bob, its region 3-5a

CCHS2002's predictions of the region would be about right if he switches Cumberland County and Franklin County. Franklin County didn't lose a whole lot and will be giving Lincoln Co. a run for their money this year. Cumberland County lost around twenty seniors and will be lucky to win very many.

 

As for the region being weak to an extent that is true. The biggest problem they face is matching up with the BEST 5A region in the state. If they matched up with another region they would win more ball games in state. This year there are two teams to watch in Lincoln Co. and Franklin Co. in the playoffs. Franklin Co. won't get out of the second round, but I think Lincoln Co. will get to at least round three for a great game vs. Oaklnd/Riverdale. Just how I see it. <_<

of all the Jets seniors last year, a majority of them had started since their soph. year, right? anyway, i dont see them being as good this year, as they were last year. those 3 years of molding together is gone, and now fresh, unexperienced faces will have to step up and try to play well. granted it will be easier in one of the weaker regions, its still a big, big task. i am saying with they lose to Coffee Co, knocking them to 5th in the region, and outta playoff contention

It's obvious and expected that Cookeville gets no respect on this board. But that is understandable because last year was the first year they really did anything. But it was only the second year in this region. They did defeat Franklin Cty and Lincoln Cty along with Cumberland Cty. They defeated Smyrna in round one of the playoffs and yes Blackman defeated Cookeville in the second round but it was in overtime.

Cookeville lost several seniors, but they have five starters coming back on defense and probably more team speed than they have had in years. Buckner their 1000 yard rusher is returning and probably will sign with Vanderbilt. I agree that Lincoln Cty and Franklin Cty. are the teams to beat in this region but don't count Cookeville out. They might slip up and defeat one of these two teams and put the region championship up for grabs. It should be an interesting year.

Good luck to all the region teams- we still have work to do to compete with the boro teams but that day is soon approaching.

Hey you never know until the games are played. Because I can remember Cookeville lost there first region game last year and they where like there young and there not going to be that good well you saw what happen

Lincoln Co. should be the team to beat in this region. With Franklin Co. a distant 2nd, and Cookville nipping at the Rebels heels. The 4th seed will be a toss up with the rest!

I think they can pull off Ws against Warren and Coffee. Definitely going to be a reloading year though. Have to replace probably 20 of their starters. Here's an article following spring practice: http://www.crossville-chronicle.com/Chroni...ballsummer.html
