Forrest 2A vs Page 4A

[ForrestRocket129]

Forrest jumps up 2 classes to take on close neighbor Page this week. Who comes out on top?

Go Pats

Pats air raid offense will be hard to slow down. It's gonna take a monster night on defense for the Rockets to pull this one out.

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.

What a contrast in offense for these two. Forrest in a upset if they avoid turnovers.

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.

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

"35-7" after last year's 27-24 last second game winner for Page at Page is an asinine prediction.

Forrest would beat Summit like a drum. Don't make stupid analogies.

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.

Forrest should consider jamming the s word out of Page's receivers at the LOS. Thoughts from others of you?
