Personally, I give credit to Franklin and Dickson County- they'll be Brentwood's toughest opponents this year. BUT.... you say brentwood is tough but franklin is faster? Brentwood's backfield is built by about 5 players that encompass every single aspect of a killer running game. Fugate and Van Horne could blow through a 20 foot brick wall. Amechi Echetebu and Blake Turner have the speed, plus turner has the size and strength of Fugate. Austin Huff is small, quick, and agile, and while not as big as the big three (Fugate, Van Horne, and Turner), he's proven he can find gaps and make plays. Recievers Kellen Moore and Bryan Bateman arent standouts compared to former players like Josh Brennard, but they are both over 6 foot and consistently make plays. Brian Heimerdinger and Chris Regan are other players to keep an eye on. The offensive line is stong, powered by center Anthony Montileone and Pierson Davis- and just wait untill Greg Briscoe returns from a summer back injury in a few weeks. Defensively, the Bruins are an iron curtain. Van Horne, Turner, and Nick Fosset make up a core of linebackers that could probably threaten the offense of the Detroit Lions. Moore and Bateman play on defense, too- adding to a group of defensive backs that put up 2 INTs against father ryan. Add all of this up and then throw in the Brentwood coaching staff and you can garantee the bruins will win region 6. There's no question about it.
And don't discount Ravenwood....i wouldnt be surprised to see coach daniels lead the first year raptors to a winning record...just watch.
