Of note, Nashville continues to lead the state in playoff wins and is 50-8 at home in the playoffs.

Does anyone know if a team holds a longer streak of playoff appearances? Nashville sits a 28.

I believe Chucktown owns the record, but not sure on the count.

The Elks aren't your typical 4A-4 team. In fact, I'd imagine they'd feel more at home in the 7.

The key for the Scrapper offense is to play away from Elkins' defensive focus. Last night, they were all about stopping the pass, but that gave Ozark the window to gash them on the ground.

Oh, and don't overlook their offense, either. Even if they did score just 12 points last night...

[justafan33]

Nashville Referees by 14 over the Elks

[DuckGuide22]

Elkins players need to be aware of the dangers of running into the Nashville sideline

[SCRAPPER MOM#1]

Excited for this game. Have these two schools ever played each other?

[Maynard G Krebs]

Excited for this game. Have these two schools ever played each other?

the bottom of the first post lists the series a 0-0-0, so the answer is no.

[Redskin2015]

Nashville is the clear favorites in this one I believe but I think Elkins could be a solid candidate to pull a major upset against a scrappers team that has seemed inconsistent at times this year, I'm going with the underdogs in this Elks by 6 in a nail bitter

Not sure about the inconsistency comment. Lost in a big game vs Joe T who will probably play in LR. Lost in a downpour with over 200 penalty yards on another. Took care of business every other week. I call more of a .500 team inconsistent.
Looking forward to this game.

i´m pretty sure he was referring to playoff time but i could be wrong

If Nashville plays like they did against Harmony Grove, Elkins wins this game.

That's the only inconsistent game Nashville has had all year. Nashville will win this game easy

[HeadBussa08]

I'll take the over in this game. Nashville 65 Elkins 49.

114 combined points? that's a lot of points

[AlumniLights]

31 I believe.

[Partsman]

I think I may go watch this game since my team has a Bye this week.

[Thetruth11]

Nashville will win this game with ease

[RZback]

Nashville by 21. Not sold on the strength of 4-4A conference.

[fredcage]

Stats:  Elkins:  Quinn McClain - 160/251, 2293 yards, 27 TD, 14 INT

It appears that Elkins can pass successfully.  If they can protect the quarterback against the Nashville blitz they can win this game.  That's a big IF but IF they can make Nashville play from behind early, they can win.

This article by Hootens states that Warren has the state's longest playoff appearance streak at 24 years. Just more inaccuracies from the joke that is Hootens.

[FootballFan00]

Nashville will win this game with ease

I doubt with ease

[Thetruth11]

I doubt with ease

We can talk after the game friday, but nashville is in a conference that gets them ready for the playoffs. The 4-4a is not strong

I agree about the how the conference gets them ready but I seriously doubt this game will just be a complete blowout

[Thetruth11]

I agree about the how the conference gets them ready but I seriously doubt this game will just be a complete blowout

Nor do I, I just think nashville will handle them, and have a decent lead, no blow out, but a decent lead throughout

Not really, orange and black here but that wouldn't have have the same effect

[Gray lizard]

I think we may see an upset tonight in this game.

Is #22 the one who fumbled the ball on this 55 yard scoop and score?  Who fumbled in 1st half on a scoop and 30 yard TD score by Nashville? TU for updates... I am relaying to some friends.

[~WPS~]

[HSFBF]

Congratulations to Nashville for a good football season and continuing in the playoffs. Proud of the Elks who most thought would win only 2-3 games this year after moving up to 4A classification. Considering our smaller size on both offense and defense, we did well to get into the playoffs. Everyone please have a safe 4 1/2 hour drive home. Proud of the Elks players and coaches efforts this year.

We actually thought you all had quite a bit of size!!!  Players were pretty thick and broad.   Do you mean small as in numbers or stature?
