Mt. Pleasant @ Fayetteville

Mt. Pleasant (1-1) starts their Region play this coming Friday night at Fayetteville (1-1)....

 

mTp's first two games were non-Region opponents and where mTp started their season out with a hard lesson learned loss to a top ten Wayne Co. 35-0 only to bounce back a week later with a big Victory over a struggling old Region 6 foe in Perry Co. 46-8....

 

The MP Tigers are no doubt proud of their Win, but they have to get even more focused than last Friday because their new Region 4 foe is no Perry Co.

 

The Fayetteville Tigers have good size and a speedy defense.... #22 Brandon Moore for Fayetteville had a nice 70+yard run score on a jet sweep against GCA at the Jamboree and showed himself to be fast and shifty. He had a nice grab also on an interception on defense.

 

#2 McWilliams for Fayetteville has speed if he gets open and seemed to be an up the gut power runner. #7 QB for Fayetteville has good arm can scramble and decently accurate.

 

Fayetteville lost their opening season game 28-48 also against a very good FRA - who just beat Columbia Academy 42-41 in 2 overtimes.... F-ville won their week 2 game against Region foe Huntland 49-21 on Friday.

 

Can mTp ride on into Fayetteville still up and focused for another Win?... Or will Fayetteville shut them down like Wayne Co. did?.?.?

 

Who wins and why?

 

Go mTp!!!

This will be a fun one for the home side.  Even though Mt. P is an unknown to us for this first meeting between programs, I'm feeling very homer-ish and will predict another Tiger win early this season.  We played two good quarters against FRA in game 1, and three good quarters in game 2, now maybe we can work hard for four quarters and decide the outcome early.  We let Huntland drive 85+ yards at the end of the second quarter to take a 14-14 score into halftime.  Mt. Pleasant has a rich history and I'm sure they want this one badly.  I'm hoping our team speed will make up for the youth we have on both sides of the ball.  It wasn't until the 3rd qtr. that we were able to slow down the Huntland running back #21.  What a beast.  Definitely has a bright future potential on the next level, if not in football then in baseball.  Even so, we never completely stopped him, just slowed him down enough for some gang tackling.  Is Mt. P more of a ground threat or in the air, or balanced?  Senior heavy or young like us?  Questions, questions.

I am also going to be a homer and pick my team to win...

after seeing Fayetteville in the jamboree, I think these teams could be mirror images of each other. MTP is young on the line but have speedy backs that can make you look silly if you don't wrap up. both teams run similar offense and defense. neither team appears to have much depth. passing against WC was awful but looked better against PC. I believe the line will get better evevery week with experience.

Go TIGERS... of MTP that is.

I can see this game being a region rivalry for years to come.

This would be a VERY hard game to predict for me. I would guess it will be close all the way til the 4th qtr an it being a 1 score game. Stop #4 for Mt.Pleasant (Warnsley) Hes the main RB and hes a slick lil runner. You stop him and i believe you win F'Ville. #10 and #38 are 2 others to look out for. #10 Crawford is a very athletic QB but does not have much accuracy on his throws.

Good info #2, thanks.  I'm hoping the defense gets the green light to go after the Mt. P. QB and set him down a few times.  But, we did it a few times against Huntland and almost got burned on a screen pass.  Quarterback can't beat you if he's scrambling for his life.  The Fay' Tigers need to mature up a little--several fantastic individual effort runs were called back for silly holding calls.  Don't have the numbers, but easily lost 120 yards that were called back for penalties.

Unfortunately We know this all to well we had 10 pen for -115 yds vs MtP week 1.

You're right about a Tiger win come Friday night...😉

 

mTp can throw if the line gives them enough time too. The line is inexperienced looking, they are having trouble picking up assignments and giving good holes/routes for their speedy runners.

 

Line play will likely make or break either of these teams on this game.

 

mTp allows F-ville's LB's to get a straight rush in the backfield like they did WC, stopping drives and causing punts for mTp?.... F-ville may win this one by 2 tds or better.

 

The Tigers of MP can score with their backfield (#4, #6, #10, #38, #20, #23, #30 all capable) if the blockers pick up their assignments of F-ville's speedy attack up front.

 

You will see a mix out of mTp at QB and will see direct snaps to whomever gets the order in the backfield. The mTp QB's are scramblers and can burn you, again, if they get good blocks.

 

mTp has the athletes to win this. Biggest question remain for fans like me, is has the line *and the lead blockers out of the backfield* gotten better at blocking for their runners?.?.?

 

I sure hope so!

 

Go mTp!

    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd... 
    • yeah money aint right there anymore
    • I suppose you are correct but from my understanding it was going to be a situation of the HC saying yay or nay to every play
