Good luck to you guys. I hope Tatum makes it far enough to play y'all.

Jefferson will have the talent to get a playoff spot, I'm just not ready to put them high on my list because they are so inconsistent.

[quote name="Farmer Fran" post="1419418" timestamp="1374011322"] Hey DB, How will Jefferson do this yr? They seem to always have talent, but can't get over the hump. Coach Simmons should do a great job for them. [/quote] Hard to say.  They always have talent, sometimes they play good and sometimes they don't.  As of right now, not too many people are picking them to even make the playoffs even with a fourth team going.  I like Jefferson and hope they get in the mix.  I would rather see Jefferson make the playoffs than any of the other teams.  It's looking like this so far... 1. Tatum 2. White Oak 3. Troup/Harmony 4. Harmony/Troup 5. Jefferson 6. Sabine Anything could happen, but Tatum is absolutely stacked with young talent at the skills and Srs at the lineman spots on both sides of the ball.

[/quote] I think Tatum has the talent to deserve the ranking, but I wouldn't have them that high just yet.  More than likely Tatum's starting QB will be a Sophomore.  He is not experienced at the Varsity level but that don't really mean a lot.  The last Sophomore we had carried us to 3 straight title games.  Our QB will likely be J.D. Taylor.  He was ridiculous as an 8th grade and Freshman QB.  He can run, throw and is smart.  I know we are getting the high ranking based on coaching, tradition and the athletes we have in Tatum this year, but as of right now, I would feel more comfortable at around 7-8.  Don't get me wrong, I think we will be as good as anybody on the list, but I think it's going to take a little time.  Our defense could be really nasty..... nasty tuff

Newton 68 Teague 17  FINAL Teague just didn't have enough speed to play with Newton.  Who does Newton want next week, White Oak or Grandview?

Tatum vs Godley Friday @ 7:00 in Athens.  Tatum is the home team.

UPDATE:  Anahuac is already winning, I'm spotting them 20 points... lol

[quote name="ECFAN#1" post="1332864" timestamp="1353101794"] Anybody know if this game will be on any radio or web site? [/quote] Drive up there and watch them.  I think it could be boring though as I expect White Oak to blow Anahuac out.

[/quote] Yeah, I hope we don't have to face East Chambers.  We might get crushed. [/quote]I smell a little BS in that statement. LOL [/quote] Honestly, Tatum beat Tatum when they played Troup.  I still say Troup was not as good as Tatum, White Oak, Jefferson, or Harmony.

[quote name="jimmyw" post="1332246" timestamp="1353074348"] Great game Bucs, I pray the Roberts kid is o k.We are pulling for you next week also. your team left it all on the field last night. Way to go!!! [/quote] If EC can beat Franklin, they might get a rematch with Tatum.

Great game.  I'm glad I went to it.
