DCHS Tigers Hoping to Conclude Homecoming Week with Win
September 28, 2018
By: Dwayne Page
Students at DeKalb County High School have been celebrating Homecoming with Spirit Week activities and it will conclude today (Friday) with a parade and a football game tonight as the Tigers host the Livingston Academy Wildcats.
DeKalb County, 2-4 overall and 0-1 in the region, needs a victory after losing last week at Cannon County. The Wildcats are coming off a 24-14 win against Smith County.
The Tigers opened the season with a 19-14 win at home over Warren County but lost to Upperman 43 to 0 at home, 35-0 at Stone Memorial, and 48-14 at home against Watertown. DeKalb County got back in the win column two weeks ago with a 28-6 victory at Grundy County but lost at Cannon County last week 19-7.
Livingston Academy is 3-3 overall and 1-1 in the region with wins against White County 35-0, Cumberland County 41-3, and Smith County 24-14. The Wildcats’ losses have been to Cookeville at 28-7, Upperman 21-0, and Stone Memorial 34 to 28.
Although other teams have had success running the football against the Tigers, Coach Steve Trapp said the Wildcats like to go to the air.
“Each and every year their scheme is just a little bit different. They never keep doing the same thing two years in a row. It’s the same thing this year. Their quarterback is in his third year starting so they tend to throw it some. I think this is the first game where we will get challenged in that department. They are going to throw it early and often. We have to make sure we are ready for that. Up front as far as the running game, there is not a lot of variation. With certain formations, we should have a good idea as to what is coming. Either our preparation will show up and look good or it won’t. I am excited to see our guys get back out there and get that sour taste out of their mouth from last week and just play some good football,” said Tiger Coach Steve Trapp.
Kick-off will be tonight at 7 p.m.
