9:16 AM It's football y'all. Reagan and Lee from Comalander. The Rattlers had their way with Churchill last week, to the tune of a 31-6 whipping. Reagan is 5-1, 2-0 in 26-6A. Lee rolls in at 2-3, 0-1. The Vols were idle last week, but opened district play the week before by being blanked by Churchill 26-0.
9:27 AM Reagan can take the outright lead in district after seeing both Johnson (17-7 to Churchill) and Madison (29-21 to Mac) lose last night.
9:31 AM Grant....the Rattler Defense has been outstanding lately. Congrats to Spencer Gilliam for receiving the "Player of the Week" honor last week. Regan has 12 int's this season and 52 TFL's (tackles for loss).
9:36 AM The Vols will put it up. Sr. QB Adame has thrown 119 times and averages 162 yards in the air. This is a vertical passing game Grant....they average 14 yards a completion. The opportunity for the Reagan-D is that Adame has thrown as many picks as he has TD's (5).
9:40 AM Last year's 26-6A Defensive MVP, Kyle Anderson, has fought through injury to play at a high level again. He leads the team in tackles (73). Kody Fox remains a menace at DE, despite numerous double-teams. Fox has 10 of the 52 TFL's.
9:45 AM Offensively, Reagan leans on the legs of Marquis Duncan. Duncan is making his final year special, averaging 138 yards a game. Cade Bormet is a little dinged-up. If he cannot go, Tibbs will start tonight at QB. Marquis should open up the field quickly for Justin against a Lee defense that surrendered 447 yards to Churchill in their last game.
9:49 AM Finally Grant....Auto-Turner Davidson is 16-16 in PATS and 9-11 in FG's with a long of 43. Reagan has a bye next week, so we should assume these Rattlers will come to make a big statement to the rest of 26-6A. Your thoughts?
2:01 PM You're on the money Paul. On the surface, this should be a Reagan blowout. Lee seems completely overmatched.
2:02 PM Let's hope we are focused and ready to play like we have a week to recover.
2:03 PM Reagan to kickoff....
Brought out of end zone and stopped at the 17.
2:04 PM First play goes for 2 yards, stop by Anderson and Staffier.

2:33 PM Turner deep to goal line. #7 takes ball to 15 where he is separated from it. He was also separated from his helmet. What a hit! Looked like Dimando, but there was a ton of traffic and the announcer might be drinking upstairs. He clearly cannot see what is happening down here.
2:34 PM Lee with no gain on 1st.

2nd down run goes for a first down.
2:35 PM Lee pass to Taylor. Lee strategy is clearly to get Vincent the ball in space and see how his speed looks against this defense. So far, not so good...

3:19 PM Well buddy....we figured it would look like this, just not at halftime! The defense is playing, well...like they have been playing. Solid.
3:21 PM OL seems to be manhandling the smaller Lee front in man instances. Tibbs looks fantastic. Other than the fumble, he has played very well. He has stretched the field with 2 throws over 25 yards.
3:24 PM I agree Paul. This is the most complete half of football I've seen the Rattlers play. Looking forward to seeing some new faces in the second half and resting our starters. They've earned it. One to two series with the starters should do it.

3:49 PM Marquis again left for another 3.
Marquis follows that with a first down carry to Lee 46.
3:50 PM A little glimpse of the future here folks. Eric Sierra takes handoff 46 yards to the house. Acceleration was ridiculous.
