These two teams will provide a great game to watch on Dec 2. The FC squad is lead by a group of seniors that love each other and play for each other. Their mental toughness rivals their physicality. They are a complete package on both sides of the ball.
As the season has progressed, the defense has continued to get better. The secondary has dialed it in and comes into the state game with 19 interceptions on the year. The MLB, Carman, has a school record 147 tackles while one of his OLB counterparts has 20 tackles for loss.
DCAs quarterback is a gamer. He will leave nothing on the field and is sure to run and gun on the big stage in Cookeville. I was impressed with #22s ground attack against Davidson, but believe that the Dline and line backing corps of FC will be more stingy than Davidson.
While I agree with my friend, PC, that the turnover gifts were welcomed in the first meeting and helpful, I believe that the FC squad has grown stronger and more hungry as the season has progressed. I look for #3 for FC to put on a strong performance behind his OLine. He is a game changer.
I do believe the fist meeting was closer than the score suggests and beating the same team, of this caliber, in the same season is a tough hurdle. I believe FC is up to the challenge.
I look forward to seeing my DCA buddies on the sidelines for another great battle between old rivals.
