“It is definitely going to be a football team that will challenge our defense. They have the ability to throw and run the football. They have a couple of good running backs and a good young quarterback. They are a young football team. They have a defense we are familiar with. They have not changed a whole lot from when we played them a few years ago. They have played a couple of teams we have played and beaten them pretty well so our football team understands what the people outside the fence are thinking about this game. I really expect our guys to go down there and really battle extremely hard and make this a football game we have an opportunity to play very well in,” said Coach Steve Trapp.
DeKalb County is 2-4 with losses to Warren County 26-10, Upperman 49-27, Stone Memorial 38-16, and Watertown 59-21. Their wins have been over Grundy County 27-7 and Cannon County 42-0.
Livingston Academy has wins over White County 35-0, Cumberland County 40-7, Upperman 32-20, Stone Memorial 37-0, and Smith County 16-13. The Wildcats only loss has been to Cookeville 35-14.
