Week 1 is in the books, and while we have a long way to go, some things are quite evident as far as Rutherford County football is concerned.
Smyrna is a true contender this year. After falling behind 7-0 to La Vergne, the Bulldogs dismantled the Wolverines with 38 unanswered points and won 38-20.
The Bulldogs are loaded with athletes on both sides of the ball and feature a three-year starting quarterback in John Turner and a punishing running back in Casey Perkins.
La Vergne is a very talented football team with two big-time receivers in Princeton Fant and Maleik Gray.
