Region championship goes to winner –
First place in Region 4,6A is on the line Friday as Mt. Juliet welcomes Hendersonville High to the Mel Brown Athletic Complex.
Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. as the winner will come away with the region championship and will host the No. 4 team from Region 3,6A Nov. 6 in the opening round of the TSSAA playoffs.
Friday’s loser will also play at home in the first round, entertaining the No. 3 team from the other side.
Seemingly back on track after a rain-soaked 53-16 road win over Station Camp last Friday, the Golden Bears went back to their Wing-T roots against the Bison after over a year in a spread offense.
“It’s the fourth year in a row we’re playing Hendersonville for a region championship,” said Mt. Juliet coach Trey Perry.
“We know what’s in front of us. They don’t beat themselves,” Perry continued. “We’ve got to play clean football.”
Mt. Juliet stands 6-2 overall and 3-1 in the region while Hendersonville comes in 6-3, 4-0 after whipping Rossview 42-21 last time out.
