BCHS prepping for a season of unknowns

The Bolivar Central Tigers are going into the 2015 football season facing a much different schedule than they have in the past.
The Tigers are moving from AA to AAA and, instead of facing teams from rural West Tennessee and Jackson, most of their opponents are now from Memphis. The only two opponents left from last season are Fayette-Ware, and Jackson South Side, and only Fayette-Ware remains in the region, which, according to second year head coach Woodrow Lowe, could pose a few problems.
“ As a coach, I like the comfortable aspect of  playing against teams that you are used to playing,” Lowe said.
New to Bolivar's region will be Covington, Sheffield, Raleigh Egypt, Melrose and Hamilton, Bolivar's other non-region opponents this year are Gibson County, First Assembly Christian School, and Martin Luther King.
All of these teams will be competitive. Fayette-Ware is building some momentum and will be a tough road game.
