Webb vs BGA

Here we go! The matchup we wanted for all the marbles. How is the BGA side feeling about the game?

Webb +10

Hopefully this will be a good one again. I think Webb has the edge because they have been there before. Not sure how the turf plays into things but it's possible it makes BGA a little faster. I do think they have to play mistake free, Webb doesn't make many mistakes, they are very disciplined as you guys know. Ready for a great game!

Webb wins in a blowout

The turf will favor BGA and they will also benefit from having played Webb once before, so I am looking for BGA to win a close game.  Lookin' forward to it - this is a good matchup!

The result will be somewhere between Red and Big and it will go either way. Webb must play mistake free; BGA must be ready to play lights out ball.

 

One thing for sure: BGA is getting all the respect from the Spartans.

Webb will beat BGA by +14. BGA cannot stop that offense.

It's the wang t. Wake up. It's like hide n go seek.

Looks like there is a chance for rain on Thursday. Hopefully it holds off. The first game between the two was close. BGA had a pick six, kickoff return, and 90 td pass. Not saying those weren't great plays, but I don't expect those plays to happen again in this game. Like what has been said already, BGA has to play close to perfect. It looks like Beeler and Mitchell in the backfield for Webb are clicking on all cylinders.

Well, Well. Let's see who wins the state from two teams that dropped down. Couldn't beat the Ensworths of the world. So drop down. That's awfully big of y'all. Haha!!!

BGA is a legitimate D2-A school (enrollment per TSSAA: 326) that was playing over their heads (and actually doing fairly well) before moving down last year.  Knox Webb, on the other hand (enrollment per TSSAA: 471), is by far the largest school in the division and actually has more students than Ensworth and about the same as Brentwood Academy.  They have become quite adept at beating the pants off of schools less than half their size.  However, unlike BGA, Webb was totally unable to compete at the higher level (did not win a district game their final year) and moved down as soon as they were able. 

 

No shame on BGA - they are competing against schools similar in size and philosophy.   Wonder how many of those gold balls Webb would be bragging about if schools such as Ensworth and BA decided "to play in the division that the TSSAA put them in" as our Knox Webb friends are fond of saying?

Glad to hear that BGA is in the right classification. Does seem a little odd that they won boys basketball state and now possibly a football state the first year of D2 A.
