It’ll be a region showdown.
While Macon County has several playmakers, Tiger Coach Steve Trapp said quarterback Seth Carlisle is the straw that stirs the drink.
“He definitely is a great football player. He has already signed to go play at Tennessee Tech. I don’t know if that is for quarterback or not. He plays defense as well. Our guys just have to gang tackle. They have to be motivated to play against a really great football player. Deep down inside if you are a guy that rises up to a challenge then this is where you want to be. You want to play against good football players. You want to play against guys who are going to the next level just so you can leave your mark in your moment. That is the thing we’ve talked about. I feel like our guys have practiced well. The “R” in Tiger Pride is about resilience. We’ve talked a lot about that, being able to bounce back from a very poor performance. A very poor week. We were bad Monday through Friday last week and it showed up a lot on Friday but it has been better this week and I think we’ll have a better performance tonight,” said Coach Trapp.
