Have you ever seen tavarres run? it is amazing and Orleans is amazing. One of the best plays I've ever seen is a QB option with tavarres at QB and Orleans at RB. So when one of them or rodney anderson (#5, Freshman) runs all over MBAs secondary and you're crying cause you lost your shutout game try to stop being so prejudiced against ensworth Plus if you think a 3 star recruit is going to bust every run against a defense that's had a shutout regardless of who it was against you're gonna be sadly mistaken. Plus to everyone who's saying our schedule is fluff I feel like I've heard that argument before O yea before last week's game when everyone said we were gonna get our first HARD team in McCallie But now that we handled a good team people are saying they stunk just cause they're 3-3. For your information the other two losses were to Father Ryan and BA and if you're going to say that they're not that good I suppose you'll change your tune after they've played MBA. So there's no argument to say that Ensworth's win against McCallie was a fluff win but it is fair to say that Stone Memorial and St. Benedict were. But seriously, it's our second year as a full varsity schedule, and our first year with a senior class. Are we expected to schedule 3 losses to start our season? No, and MBA didn't either. Their only truly challenging game thus far was Hillsboro (at least it was supposed to be until they almost lost to 1-4 Ravenwood) which was a challenging game, interesting fact about that though there are 3 ex-ensworth players at Hillsboro including their starting quarterback. But I'm not trying to say that MBA is a bad team because they obviously aren't, I'm only saying that calling a blowout is silly and a shutout is downright moronic. Furthermore I understand why this game is so hyped. Most of our seniors, if EHS hadn't been founded, would be on the MBA team right now and they've been wondering if this game would happen since they were freshman. Last year MBA declined to schedule us for some reason so they're gonna be pumped up on friday night. I would bet that MBA will be ready to fight too and not looking ahead but if they are looking past us they better get ready to get lit up. But in the end this will definitely be a great game with a great atmosphere with ensworth winning, probably by less than one touchdown.

Well as a matter of fact I believe that all of our junior or senior are at exactly the same age as every one else. I guess BA might be holding some 20-25 year olds in their deck but I think that our general 16-18 average age and the fact that all of the juniors and seniors have been playing since they were freshman should put us about on par with everyone else. It is a good point that this is only our second full varsity season and that last year, as the beginning of this year were fluffy but Coach Bower's is trying to start a program and ramp up interest. Not have his team go out there and get beaten down every friday by the likes of MBA, and Father Ryan when his oldest guys are juniors but now he has stepped it up and for the rest of the season we have some pretty tough games scheduled. Along with people from the big 7 which has been copiously annotated so I won't bother giving out all the annoying acronyms. So anyways I don't think that experience is going to be the issue in this game but that what it will come down to is who plays better and which team wants the win more. But I also know that our whole team is fired up and no one is thinking about putting the first "X" in the loss column.

alright everyone we may have had a fluffy first 2-3 games but I don't think that you can say that Knoxville Webb is a fluff school even if they aren't the best and the fact that we were able to beat them by over 30 points whereas we only beat CPA in a sort of nail biter shows improvement. And honestly I think that our two great running backs T and Orleans with all our other supporting staff (Rodney Anderson, Rob Leathers, etc.) and other good receivers (tall man trent wallace, matt reed, michael dunn, etc.) will give us enough tools to find holes in their defense. I also wouldn't be surprised if we bust it open on the kick off if we receive it and our O-Line is all over 220 pounds so they might not be big bubba 300 pound guys but they won't just get bossed around. So I'd look out for a great game which could go either way but as an ensworth fan I'm going with EHS for the big game cause of our momentum and skill
