With their home schedule now in the books, Lake County will spend the final two weeks of the regular season on the road battling for the Falcons spot in the postseason beginning with a trip to Greenfield this Friday night.

Lake County Head Coach Hunter Short talked about the importance of the final two games of the 2025 schedule.

“It’s do or die now for playoff purposes,” Short said frankly. “We have to go in with the mindset of there is no tomorrow with each of the last two games.”

The Falcon head coach talked about where the Yellowjackets give him and his staff concerns on offense.

“The quarterback Easton Sullivan is a very good player who does it all for them,” Short said. “We have to be able to slow him down.”

To do this, Short said the entire Falcon defense doing its job which he added was lacked last week.

On the other side of ball, the Yellowjacket defense has some experience playing for it, according to Short.

“They have some older guys up front and active inside linebackers,” Short added. “Cevon McMullen and Caden Sparkman are two that stick out for them on defense.”

Short pointed out where the big games need to come from moving forward.

“Offensive line every week,” the Falcon head coach said. “We have to be able to sustain a consistent run game.”

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Friday night in Greenfield.

The game marked the first career win for new Dyer County Head Coach Justin Dubruiel. It was also the first win by a Choctaw team at Dyersburg since 2007. “It was good,” Dubruiel said following the win. “It was good for our kids and good for Dyer County. “Whenever you can beat Dyersburg, it’s a fun night for everybody.” Trailing by a touchdown at the half, Dyer County was able to get a stop on defense, forcing a three-and-out. On the ensuing punt, Choctaw juni...

  Jason Peevyhouse JP Productions Sports Thanks to a stellar second half which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 45-23, the Dyersburg boys will play for a region championship for the first time since 2004 after the black and gold’s 68-55 win over the Tomcats on Tuesday night in Newbern. "I think our kids were extremely engaged from the tip," Dyersburg Head Coach Blaine Mahaffey said. "I thought we rebounded well all night.  "And then, in the second half, when we were able to play a little bit better offensively, I think it showed up more." Trailing by nine at the break, the Trojans cut it to eight early in the second half but a three-pointer from Haywood put the Tomcats back up 35-24 with just over seven minutes left in the frame. Dyersburg went on a tear after a Breyden Turnage bucket was followed by a layup from AJ Higgins. This opened up four-minute stretch which saw the Trojans outscore Haywood 19-3 and was capped by a Jeff Cobb three-point play and tw...
