Go Scrappers!

To say our beloved Scrappers have struggled this season would be a bit of an understatement. We were ranked quite high at the beginning of the school year, but we have slipped each week. Little by little. Bit by bit.

A few fair-weather fans (otherwise known as FWFs) are even calling for the coach's resignation already. Geez! Be careful, FWFs, you might just get what you ask for. And sometimes, you just don't know what you got 'til it's gone.

You know there are going to be times......games......seasons that just don't live up to our "tradition". It doesn't mean that we need to throw away the coach. Especially considering the fact that we have many, many coaches coaching this team. Let's not be quite so narrow-sighted, FWFs.

Our junior high team is undefeated so far this year. We have some good years ahead. I just hope we are not trying to break in a new coach while they are trying to win a state championship.

So back to tonight. We hosted Ashdown. Who, by the way, is ranked higher than us at the present time.

SCRAPPERS DEFEAT ASHDOWN, FIRST CONFERENCE WIN - The Nashville Scrappers completed a 95 yard scoring drive Friday night against Ashdown with a 29 yard touchdown pass from Joel Hendry to Lavonte Thomas...capping a come from behind win, 28 to 26 at Scrapper Stadium. Nashville trailed 24 to 14 at halftime...but the Scrappers defense stepped up in the second half to shut out Ashown. The panthers only 2nd half points came on a Nashville safety..which made it a 26 to 14 advantage for the Panthers.  For the rest of the 4th quarter, Thomas was also responsible for a touchdown that cut the Ashdown lead to 5. Nashville began its final possession at their own 5 yard line and finished 95 yards later in the Ashdown end zone. Friday's win improved Nashville's season record to 2 and 5 on the season.

Let's hope this will calm some FWFs and give our coach a little reprieve.
