Seen that Mike Keith will be on the call again tomorrow for this game.

Seating capacity is 20,668. The largest crowd ever for a football game was the FCS National Championship with App State vs Delaware at 23,010.

Well rounded is the best way to describe them. They only give up about 13 pts a game and have 3 shutouts. They tackle very well and do a good job of keeping things in front of them. However, they don’t necessarily force a lot of turnovers or come away with a lot of sacks either. They have a good run defense led by their linebackers. The defensive line has plays well against the run but they don’t get a ton of pressure. Secondary has some good athletes that can play. Offensively the passing game is very dangerous and Schwarzl is the cog that makes that offense go. They don’t turn the ball over. I think Schwarzl has thrown 2 picks all year and they haven’t lost any fumbles. If you look at the 2 losses Walker Valley has East Ham and Bradley. The two common things is both teams ran the ball very well on WV and Schwarzl the QB did not play very well. WV can’t afford a slow start on offense this game. If they come out firing and having success, this could be a really good game. For West they have to shut down Schwarzl. Keep him in check and west rolls in to Chattanooga

The crowd will be big Thursday night. Seating capacity for Finley is 20,688. I don’t know if they can fill all 20,688 but it should be the biggest crowd for football at finley this year.

Brentwood Academy is open

I like West to win. WV’s offense is impressive especially when the QB is making plays. Honestly WV should have thrown the ball more against Clinton last night. WV was picking Clinton’s secondary apart. However, West’s defense is the reason they win this game.

NFHS looks like they will be broadcasting the game.

Here we go playoff time! A battle of old Region 4-5A teams. Rhea comes in pick up a nice road win against East Ham to secure 3rd in the region. Lenior City comes in after a drubbing of a weak Karns team. This potentially could go either way. If the Rhea team that showed up for East Ham, I like Rhea’s chances if it was the one that played Tyner I would give it to LC.

Talent level wise Campbell is similar to Rhea but I think East Ham has better athletes than Campbell.
