2A REGION 4 2016

[GeneralForrest]

My quick take:

 

From last year:

 

Up- Westmoreland, Eagleville, Cascade, Community

 

Down- Watertown

 

Even- Forrest, Jackson Co, East Robertson

 

Westmoreland- Seemed to have a younger team this year and still made it to the playoffs. Will be better next year and they host Forrest and I believe Watertown. At Eagleville will be a tough one for them.

 

Watertown- Loses #5 who was a hoss. The QB is a junior I believe? The host Eagleville but will have to travel to Forrest and Westmoreland.

 

Eagleville- A very young team that made the playoffs will absolutely be improved. Only question is, who coaches them?

 

Community- They lose Pride, #1, but based on how their middle school was 2 years ago (league champs), I expect them to be better overall. Defensive improvement needs to be a priority.

 

Cascade- Don't see how they can be much worse than last year. They almost HAVE to improve.

 

Jackson Co- You'd think they will win a Region game next year. Defense was decent. They lost a lot of 14-9 type games. Should be slightly improved I guess. Not convinced.

 

East Robertson- A couple of explosive offensive players, but couldn't stop an all girl's preschool team from moving the ball if they had 11 guns to their heads. Will be about the same.

 

Forrest Rockets- Lost seniors but so did everyone. Lost some linemen, but A- Our JV and middle school kids have been very good there, B- We have some very good skill players returning and coming up, and C- Coaching staff is staying intact. I'm picking us again to win Region.

 

 

Order of finish prediction:

 

Forrest

Westmoreland

Eagleville

Watertown

Community

Jackson Co

Cascade

East Robertson

 

4th place playoff spot will be a toss-up between Watertown and Community.

Westmoreland had about 16 seniors they lost. Should be a little worse this year and east didn't lose much. They will be a lot better and be 2nd year with pretty good coach from what I hear but still not in contention for playoff spot

Watertown loses a key reciever number 18 and number 5 who carried their team the last few years these will be HUGE loses but there are some kids that can replace 18. The big question for h20 is if they will be able to run the ball like they did this last year. I believe it will not be as good but Mr.Turners back up is a young very talented kid that just keeps growing. The only thing they will be missing on defense is 5 that can't be replaced but the kid behind him (his cousin I believe) is a pretty good football player who will lead the defense next year. Watertown is still very talented on the offensive side of the ball the passing game will just be used more which is not a problem because they have one of the best QB in the state hands down. Watertown is not down they will just have to change their game to be successful

[GeneralForrest]

Watertown seemed very well coached. I'm sure they will be in the hunt in the region. At least we get to host them

[GeneralForrest]

less than two months to opening night. obviously Forrest's coaching staff didn't stay intact...I'm hearing there are still changes happening. Johns is the man however. He will do a great job.

Watertown still has their qb

[Purplegorn]

Watertown should win this region

[GeneralForrest]

Forrest spanked you on your home field last year, and that was WITH #5. 

[Purplegorn]

Last season was last season

[GeneralForrest]

We are better, and at home. One player kept you competitive and he graduated. 

[Purplegorn]

We miss Luke for sure he is one heck of a ball player and a fine young man, Cumberland is lucky to have him. That being said, I feel that we are as strong if not stronger than last year, looking forward to coming on down to your house this season.

i wrote at the time that #5 was a heckofa back. and the moccasins (JK!) i mean purples (JK) i mean purple tigers played tough for a half and one play then it was all she wrote. i expect you to put a couple TDs up (one last year total in the 1st Q with #5), but like last year, you won't stop us. esp in the later stages. 

 

i do respect your program a lot.
