Lebanon at Antioch

[hardtackle]

Both are going to the playoffs, both are going to have to play a very good team in 1st round. Who will avoid being in the cellar?

Antioch's best chance to avoid winless season.

The Top 32 is such a joke. These teams are considered to be "playoff" teams because of a flawed system. It's a joke.

[hardtackle]

This will be a good game simply because they both are not very good and match up evenly. Should be good game to watch. Better than games that are hug mismatches.

Hardtackle, a good game and a close game are two different things.

With that said LA stays winless. Lebanon by 2 TDs.

Lebanon should win...but, hope Antioch does

Antioch's best chance to avoid winless season.

 

Only chance.... They have McGavock and Ravenwood the finish the season.

From what I'm seeing on paper Lebanon should win this game. But it wouldn't surprise me to see Antioch get the win. 

 

- Those kids on that Antioch team know full and well that if they lose this game they are gonna become the first team in Tennessee to go 0-11. And this is a winnable game. I would expect them to come out to play.

 

- Lebanon is 2-5 but if they played the same schedule as Antioch they would probably be looking at going 0-11 right now as well. The difference being that Lebanon scheduled non-region games against Warren County, Summit and Portland. While as it stands right now Lebanon is the only team on Antioch's schedule with a losing record.

 

- I don't know about Antioch but right now Lebanon is on a bad 4-game losing streak after starting out 2-1. They expected to be competitive against Mt. Juliet and they lost 35-0 and were pretty much unable to do anything offensively. They expected to beat Portland and went in there and lost 34-21. Then they lost to Wilson Central 30-7 in a game where WC had +400 yards rushing. They played Ravenwood last week and the score was 52-0 with 3 minutes left in the 1st half.

 

I'm gonna say

 

Lebanon 35

Antioch 20

Antioch is basically inept offensively, they're maybe good for 7-12 points a game. Defensively they do have some talent and size. Unfortunately poor coaching and bad game plans have them in disarray. I predict Lebanon coming out on top.

I still think this will a game to watch because they are pretty equal.
