Trinity should be fine in this game. I watched FC play Brentwood Academy in the 7 on 7 Music City Classic at Vanderbilt last month. Little FC with a freshman QB stood flat-footed and tore-up the Brentwood Academy defense. I don't know if it was becasuse it was the first game of the morning or if Brentwood Academy didn't take FC seriously, but FC had no problem with Brentwood Academy in the 7 on 7 format, FC won by at least two scores. I know 7 on 7 is not real football, but if Trinity can go vertical with the passing game - Brentwood Academy will have no answer.

Purple Flash As stated above - PT is an unknown each season.

We are very pleased to have Marcus Pratt on our team this season. Our freshman QB Jaylen Williams did a pretty good job against live competition. He perfomed well in 7 on 7 formats this summer to include the Vanderbilt 7 on 7 Classic. We were happy to seem him stand up to actual presssure and make some pretty good plays. One fumbled exchange between him and a RB was the only obvious mistake. Coach McKillip had the defense clicking, would have been a shut-out for the night had it not been for the prementioned fumble that set up Kenwood's only scoring drive.

I think you are exactly right! 3A just became legit - for the last several years the 2A Champ could easily have been the 3A champ. Corbin, Monroe, Bell and FC really bring the level of competition up in 3A.

Madisonville-North Hopkins dominated their two scrimmages: Madisonville 35 Apollo 0 Madisonville 21 Clarksville, TN (West Creek) 0 Coach Weaver has a very good team this year! He has some long and lean skill players that will cause future opponents fits. Fort Campbell looked a little more like the FC we expect: FC 19 Clarksville, TN (Kenwood) 6 FC 21 Apollo 0 FC introduced transfer player, Marcus Pratt, last night. A big back that runs like he is angry. Good play from our freshman QB & the D was pretty solid. FC must work on the kicking game, I think we missed 5 of 6 extra points which is unacceptable.

They should be able to continue the theme of representing KY well against TN schools.

Fellas, FC will start the night with Kenwood & end the evening in a scrimmage with Apollo from Owensboro. Start time has been moved back to 7:00 to accomodate any heat issues.

One more week!

That is a pretty fair preseason top 10 list. I bet Bell County is glad they don't have Boyle County to contend with in the playoffs this season. Can't wait to see FC at Paducah Tilghman!

Spring practice just wrapped up this week & my humble observations found that this team is already having fun and showing a lot of promise. Some of the upcoming seniors are showing leadership and the team appears to be buying into Coach Berner's way of doing business. The seniors on the 2010 additon of Falcon football provided zero leadership for a variety of reasons/excuses, graduation will take care of that. Some players that had significant roles on the team last season have decided that they no longer desire to be Falcon players, that is probably a positive also. (lack of committment & dedication to the team) After the chaf is separated from the quality grain, FC will be back and ready to return to its winning ways.

Congratulations to the Christian County Colonels!!!! What a fantastic group of athletes; many playing in the 5A football title game and now winning the state basketball championship in just a three month time span!! This Fort Campbell fan is very proud of our neighbors in Christian County and their accomplishments. A special congrats to Anthony Hickey & Bubba Tandy, two of the top football/basketball players in the state - we are very proud of you here in Western Kentucky.

Much better, perfect for high school title games - hope it stays in BG for many years to come.

Went to the 2A game today Going to the 5A game tomorrow

Congrats to Mayfield!!!

Hey brother, the NCC crowd ain't mine!! I am a Fort Campbell FalconBacker & was just at this game as a fan of 2A football. I was complimenting the fan support that the Aces brought with them.

Just returned home from the game and admit that I under estimated NCC and way over estimated O-Cath!! Congrats to the 'Breds - the 2A Champs and undisputed best team in 2A for the year 2010. I really thought this would be a shoot-out with neither team able to stop the other, that was not the case. The only thing I will say about O-Cath is they had the largest contingent of fans that I have personally witnessed at a 2A game.

I may have to print this post and show it to Antonio! What an honest reaccounting of the 2007 & 2008 title games. You have my respect Sir.

Oh my, time for me to go put on my hip boots! In the country??? Wow!

I said, "O-Cath by a TD". That is giving NCC a pretty decent amount of respect.

At Fort Campbell they are taught to read defenses, but teach all you want - a lot depends on the QB's aptitude. We have had a couple of QBs that, in additon to being All-State QBs, were also National Honor Society students, (CJ Croft & Antonio Andrews). We have had others that rely strictly on their athletic abilities - they are not or were not All-State QBs and did not win a championship.

There will be some surprises when O-Cath shows up at WKU, make no mistake about it! I was personally shocked at how good O-Cath was in hammering FC 34-0 this season. That is after getting spanked by FC 53-0 last season - an 87 point difference. O-Cath will score at will, no doubt about it. Can they stop NCC, may be the question. NCC has a little bit of recent history of rolling into the 2A title game with a lot of NKY hype, only to return home with the thanks for coming trophy. O-Cath by a TD

Really, I don't think Highlands is going to surprise anybody. Most people that know high school football from coast to coast know all about the Highlands football program.

Christian County will surprise those that haven't watched them play this year.

Congrats Christian County!!! Now, I will be making two trips to BG this weekend. 1A & 2A Friday and 5A Saturday

Congrats Mayfield! I will be there Friday morning; cheering the Cardinals on to a state title!!
