    For the most part high school coaches are really good people. They do an incredible amount of work for little pay. Often times, after they do all the work and get the team ready to play, people ridicule or hack them because they lost the game.... Never stop to ask if the coach had the proper plan in...  

    Coach Smith is a fine coach, and he has worked wonders for the Haywood community. 

    I also tip my hat the coaches from LC for agreeing to play Haywood. I am certainly there are 3, 4, and 5 A schools that would not schedule and out of region game with the Tomcats.  

    I just hope we can keep him at Haywood. My son loves Coach Smith.

    The Jackson Sun has Haywood as a 40 point favorite (54-14).  Sonny Moore has Haywood as a 35 point favorite. The Tomcats have an average margin of victory  of 33 points per game. 

    I'll admit that it doesn't look good for LC on paper.  But as we all say, the game isn't played on paper.  Tomcats, you can't be complacent.  Lake Co. will give you 48 minutes of all they've got. 

    Don't let hubris be your downfall.  Not in this game, not in any of the games ahead!

    I looked at offensive numbers to judge how good North Side is. North Side only scored 30+ points just one time. That was a prayer against South Gibson. We scored a 42-45 yard touchdown pass with 5 seconds left to win the game. That got us to 30 points. Haywood, has scored 30+ points 4 times. I'll even take it a step further for the Tomcats, they have scored 40+ points four times.

     

    North Side was the team that nobody picked to be second in this district. I had them finishing 3rd. They have the most underrated player in the district in Isaiah Reed (#65). How many people know he is going to Louisville to play football? Hardly anybody... DeCameron DeMoss (#6) picked up an offer from Tennessee State the other day. They do have athletes. 

    BUTTT, they lack special teams. They lack creativity on offense. Their offensive playbook is monotonous and boring. It's the same 10-15 plays. QB doesn't have the best arm in velocity. Studying film is the study guide to the test. Simple.

    This is not a big physical football team, they're pretty small. They have been pretty small for a while. Why am I not convince in Jesse Powell? Why do I not believe in the guy? It's the same 7-3/6-4 season with a potential win in the first round and exit in the second round. North Side is 1-10 I believe against teams that finished with a record of .500 or better since the 2019 season. The lone with was against South Gibson this year. That record is approaching Mickey Marley territory when he was at USJ.

    Haywood will win this game with ease, 42-20.

    I saw the same 10 or 15 plays at the Jamboree.

    I think it will be a fairly close game as well.  I don't know much about North Side, but I do expect the Indians to be a lot like Melrose.  I think the Tomcats have been playing well, but like you, I'm a little worried about our pass defense.   I also worry about snaps, penalties, and unforced errors.

    As you mentioned in a previous post, this is an important region game.  North Side will come to play, and  I believe the Indians will give us all they've got.  Hopefully, this will be the week the Tomcats put it all together and give it all they've got.

    Fun Facts:

    Records:  North Side 4-2 (2-0  Region 7-4A), Haywood 5-0 (2-0 Region 7-4A)
    Week 6 Results:  North Side defeated Liberty 48-0,  Haywood defeated Melrose 43-20
    Coaches: Haywood - Chris Smith, 3rd season (27-6), North Side - Jesse Powell, 4th season (24-15)
    Haywood is averaging 40.4 points a game while giving up an average of  8.2, AvgMV 32.2
    North Side is averaging 28 points a game while giving up an average of 22.33, AvgMV 5.7
    Haywood's opponents have a record of 8-20
    North Side's opponents have a record of 22-12
    Series:  Haywood leads the series 21-12-0.  Haywood has won the last 4 meetings.
    Last Meeting:  Haywood defeated North Side 34-14 on August 30, 2019. The two teams did not meet last year due to JMCS Covid policies.  

     

    Good info I am still waiting on Haywood to play a perfect game. If they do this want even be close. I saw Northside play at the Jamboree. They don't have the athletes to play four quarters with Haywood.

    With no parade nor tailgate i don’t see many their will be a few but i don’t see many distractions. I agree they have a pretty good run game, yet i feel we can stop them. If we can stop mcCaine from Lexington i feel we can stop this rushing attack 

    Tomcats win 38-12. They are having some intense practices the last couple of days.
