Henry County Vs. West

[PassiveAggressive]

Cleveland didn't keep gap control or stay in their lanes to let West have those long runs or the o-line just physically dominated.But I hear HC is physically deep defensively. #pop

Have you seen film as well?

no film I was in the stands when they beat CC and AC and like I said just my opinion they are the fastest team as a whole I have seen play this year .But hey go and check them out make your own decision ..but I still picked Henry County because west usually turns the ball over 2 to 3 times a game and I think it will come down to a close one.

Who will be fast and ferocious on both sides of the ball??#pop

I would love tosee this game should be heck of a game Henry County seems to be like a AC team but on steroids with depth and west will have the most speed as a whole Henry Co has faced .I like Henry County in this one west seems to turn the ball over too much and in a close game I think it will be the difference ....plus my wife went to school there lol.

I really think it would be phenomenal if Knox West had more overall team speed than Memphis East. They were by far the fastest team overall - top to bottom - of any we faced in the previous 14 games. I agree with what someone else already said, they will likely have comparable speed with Ridgeway or Northeast. And no, that is not discounting the speed that Knox West has in the backfield. We have seen plenty of that all year. We are not known for our speed, but are for our execution and discipline. I look for this to be a superb ballgame very similar to Henry County v. Powell in 2011. Just hoping that the outcome is the same for the Patriots!!!

 

Go Big RED!!!

With the above information I have come to a few conclusions, The first is that if a Henry fan thinks that for some reason they have played a schedule that is harder than West they are sadly mistaken and the above information proves just that, West only loss is to the Beast from the East Maryville and had Henry played them they would have lost that game as well as would just about any other team in the state.  Had West played anyone other than Maryville they would also be undefeated and would have won their district and had all games up to this point at home, but even if you exclude Maryville and add an average team to that spot the West Schedule is more difficult.  Another conclusion is the path to Cookeville, West had to defeat the AP #4 and #5 teams at home as well as travel to the AP #3 to win a very tuff game on the road which I believe will show after next week to be the 5A post season game that decided the Championship, My opinion so don't freak out.  Also you will see that the JR and SR groups for both teams have pretty much the same post-season experience so neither team will be at a disadvantage in that department.  If you went by just the numbers alone given the strength of schedule that West has had to endure with the results they have gotten than I do not see how anyone that is unbias to the 2 teams could pick anything other than West +6.  However my gut seems to tell me that West will pull away in that game and I will pick:

 

West: 33, Henry 14

 

This is my opinion, feel free to make it you own.  Good luck to both teams on an injury free game and I hope West can come through.

IMO all the top quarterbacks are mothballs with over 2k passing which tells me that this is the day of the ground and pound#pop

Those stats don't mean didly squat. Not in the teams notes . for entertainment purposes only. #pop

[Mav4life]

First off, they are not stats, they are results of games played vs. quality opponents and I think that holds a little more water than me spitting out rushing or passing stats, second off like I said, it was my opinion on how the game would end up, if Im wrong trust me I will not lose any sleep over it.

[PassiveAggressive]

If Henry County got a ferocious defense that loves to pop...They could very well soften up the Veer. Now the dbs from West were ferocious#pop
