Well it’s that time again....where does time go? The Jackets travel to Wilson Co to take on Central for game 1. They graduated key skilled players but plenty of weapons to spark the offense. Jackets return 4 starters on the OL and a few skilled players who played a lot of snaps last season. New starter at QB who played well on defense last season as well. The defense returns several starters and will be a strength imo. Got a good group of young kickers who will get better as time goes. I don’t know much about Wilson Central but my guess.....
SHS 27
WCHS 14
Haywood was bigger and faster.
The summary of the game is the Jackets started the game looking like crap on both sides. Before you know it it was 14-0. Then the Jackets finally started playing defense recoverying a fumble and the offense started to move the ball. Haywood fumbled the about 4 times in first half and Jackets only recovered one. Halftime score 14-7. Jackets get the ball 2nd half and starts off around the 10 yd line in there own territory. QB throws a pick and gives the Tomcats great field position. 21-7. Fat takes KO down past the 50 on nice return. Couple plays later SHS QB throws it into double coverage at the goal line and its picked again. Haywood has a long drive with a couple of long runs and now it’s 28-7 in 3rd. And that about sealed the deal. On the KO Jackets try a reverse by pitching the wet ball and fumbled it.....giving Haywood great field position again. The Tomcats made Springfield pay once again making it 35-7. Tomcats scored 21 pts in about 5/6 mins. At that pt it was time to start warming up the bus.
Now!.....got carried away...... lil devil tempting me lol
Much respect for Haywood. No doubt in my mind that the Tomcats are looking for revenge like they were a wk ago. The Jackets must absolutely play flawless on offense again. The Jacket defense better get things corrected bc Haywood has been avging 40 pts a game since they started their win streak on Sept 28 and I expect they will make an attempt to keep that streak going.
Look kid, I don’t care who the Jackets play. Im not here to coddle you like a dog and tell you how good Greennnnnnvvvvville is. Now move along, get back to band practice.
