Forrest should visit Riverside in November 2022 with a trip to the semis on the line again. Next year will be the first time without a truly dominant Region 7 team so Regions 5 and 6 will have a realistic chance to go to the ship.

Forrest has their top 4 rushers returning and should have an even better O-Line. If the DC returns the defense will be as good or better. But just like last season the QB position is in question. We will have a freshman who had a fantastic 8th grade season but not many teams will advance beyond Round 2 with a freshman 14 year old QB unless he looks like a 17 year old. Ours does not. It's inexcusable we are entering our 2nd offseason in a row with no clue who will take snaps for us in the spring. Any other Top 10 program in that predicament? 

I agree with the quarterback situation. However Swift use to play quarterback, and ran wildcat a lot last season. If the young guy doesn’t work out , I could see Swift taking the reigns. They still have a good stable of backs if Swift changes positions. Just a thought , I hope the young cat is up to the task and handles it well. Eager to see what happens.

Ugly first half for Forrest. Richland looked liked the better team early in the game. Forrest defense played much better in the second half. Refs were awful tonight. Best of luck to both teams the rest of the season  

I have been around some of the Forrest  staff and players this past week and they seem to be extremely dialed in for this game. The players know with a win this Friday they clinch the 1 seed in region play. The kids look well rested and eager to finish the season strong. Whether or not the coaching staff calls the game how it should be is unknow. I do know the players will be ready. 

If Forrest plays to their potential, they can win big. Seems though when Forrest plays a team they should dominate they play down to their level. You never know which team and staff is going to show up that night. My prediction is 35-14 Forrest, if they don’t overlook their opponent

I think Forrest pulls this out. I imagine a slug fest , but Forrest defense gets a few stops 

28-14 Forrest 

Great win for Marion County. Best of luck to both teams the rest of the season. Big region matchup for Forrest next week at Cascade

MC offense sluggish as well. A lot of that is Forrest defense though.

Forrest had a pretty stout defense. That only gets you so far when your offense can’t sustain drives 

Forrest offense looks sluggish 

I’ll take Forrest in this one. Coming off a game they should have won, I believe Coach Eli will have them ready to play.
