Lincoln County is getting better

[FairInMyFavor]

I know a lot of things can be factored in other than just the scores, but for the sake of brevity, let's just look at the numbers.....

 

In their first three games, LC 115. Opponents 54

 

In their last FIVE games, LC 224, Opponents 7

 

In their last five games, they are averaging right at 45 points per game...and that's NOT running up the score. That's with the starting offensive team on the bench the 4th quarter.

 

The Tennessean may not respect that...but from that thread about "Lincoln County gets no respect" I can see that the people in middle Tennessee who know football and have seen the Falcons play....they respect it. I've seen 'em play a couple of times, and I sure respect 'em.

LC fans don't get too excited about this...you have Franklin, Brentwood, Dickson County, an angry Gallatin and plenty of folks from the East and West, still ahead!

 

Looking at your last four opponents and your next two I wouldn't get real excited about score differentials. Concentrate on not getting anyone hurt and don't worry about score. Your looking good to go 15-0, there's little doubt that you willl be 10-0.

 

The best thing is you will get second stringers alot of valuable playing time in these next two games, and your starters a much deserved rest! Your in the driver's seat!

BigDogDaddy, I agree with you in part...there are still some good teams to play in the playoffs, but of the good teams you mentioned above, the good thing is Lincoln County will only have to play one of them. They will eliminate each other enroute. The Falcons will be lucky to get to play any on your list because that would mean they would be playing in Murfreesboro for another state championship.

But there are plenty of other teams in Region 4 and eastward that will challenge them for the right to play one on your list.

Don't get too excited just yet. Lincoln Co. has improved but the teams they have played may be having an off season other than Franklin. Coffee Co. and Franklin Co. have improved but they're not where they want to be just yet. Oakland and Riverdale are strong but they're down from where they have been in the past. The next season will start in the playoffs. Then anybody can beat anybody. Don't get the big head Falcons you still got a lot of football to play.

I know Lincoln County will finish 1st in the region. How does the rest of the region play out? Who do you guys think will finish 2nd - 4th. It looks like you guys will host Oakland in the first round. (If things play out in region 4 like I think they will).

[Duckbutterbandit]

Franklin Co. (3-1) will come in 2nd with Cookville still to play.

 

Coffee Co. (2-2) will come in 3rd with Warren Co. still to play.

 

Cookville (2-2) will be 4th with Franklin Co. to play.

 

Franklin Co. and Cookville will decide for sure cause it could be a 3 way tie for 2nd.

 

You can take that for what it's worth cause it's free.

These boys are very focused, and taking it one game at a time. none of these guys have the big head. they are focused. One Game at a time.. They are the best group of boys I have seen in years....

Cookeville @ Riverdale round one......Wow what a prize.

To falconmom,

 

I'll have to agree but they are high school kids. I'm sure I don't know them as well as you. I wish them luck for the rest of the season and through out their careers whatever they choose to be.

I know this isn't the thread for this, but it looks like:

 

1) Lincoln County v. 4)Oakland

 

3) Coffee County @ 2) Smyrna

 

1) Riverdale v. 4) Cookeville

 

3) Lebanon @ 2) Franklin County

 

 

 

 

Looks like the Lebanon @ Franklin County is the key match-up

Stay focused Falcons! Don't look ahead, the most important game is always the next one!
