Forrest 2A vs Page 4A

Last year Page jumped out to 10-0 and 20-10 leads. Forrest had an awesome 2nd half and a 24-20 lead late. Some home cookin penalties got Page in position late for a fade route that hung in the air for a year. 27-24 final. Page won. The actual winning play was quite a throw and catch, but the help Page got in getting into scoring position was blatantly biased.  

I'd like to think Forrest has been pointing to this one. But it's not a District opponent so who knows.

Page terrific SR QB from last year gone. Led the state in passing yards. Forrest pass D will be put to the test.

Fortunately for the Rockets, it doesn't appear Page plays much defense. The Rockets will score points, the question will be, can they get stops? 

 

How banged up will the Rockets be this week? Depth could be a factor vs a much larger school. I believe that come playoff time the Lauderdale Co and Page games will pay off big time for Forrest.

Do losses help? Ask that ole Forrest fellar at Summit how this one will go. Page 35-7.

Forrest decided either late 2nd or early 3rd against Eagleville that "we can get first downs whenever we want so let's try some stuff". About the time I felt like Forrest was holding back, a parent of a senior came up to me and said the exact same thing. 

 

Now. If Forrest comes out like they did against Cascade, fired up (make no mistake, missing #10 is a big deal), and completely in the moment mentally, this will be a heck of a game. And by heck of a game I mean a 3 TD beatdown. They have to get pressure early and often and rattle Page's QB. If Cornersville and Lauderdale Co can pick Forrest apart with too much QB time to throw, then Page will light them up. But if Forrest can get to him and keep him in the pocket and deliver some good hits, I think Page will have a very difficult night. 

 

Last year, after barely, and I mean BARELY squeaking out a W- they were completely outplayed in the 2nd half- Page fans chanted "GO HOME FORREST GO HOME- clap clap". To say that stuck in those of us who were supporting our kids' craw is an understatement.  

 

Back to 2013 for a sec:

 

Going on last year's score totals alone, Eagleville, Cascade, Moore Co., MTCS, and Decatur Riverside ALL held Forrest to fewer points than Page did.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
