Any word on DII AA?

Darkwa has been practicing this entire week and is definitely going to play. It was an injured knee and I do not know where people got that he would be out for eight weeks or even the season. He is getting better and better and should be close to 100 percent by playoff time, barring any injuries thursday. On another note, isnt this game on tv? If so, what channel?

BGA's passing game is definitely a strength, whereas Ensworth's secondary has been a weakness but has come on the past few weeks. BGA's defense is very good, but will have some problems with Ensworth's rushing attack.

I do not see how that is possible with the E/M seedings because if EHS beats BGA and McCallie beats MBA, that would mean BGA McCallie and MBA all have two region losses. But wouldnt that make McCallie the number three for winning head to head against MBA, MBA the number four and BGA number five because of a better strength of schedule?

Last year, EHS earned a playoff berth with a 24-21 win over BGA at home. This year, EHS travels to BGA on thursday night for the comcast game of the week in hopes of securing a perfect regular season and the number one seed in the DII Playoffs. What are everyone's thoughts and predictions for this game?

He was injured and is now out for the season. I'm still surprised he is not listed on the roster however.

completely false. He practiced yesterday

Orleans Darkwa of Ensworth has over 1,000 yards and is averaging around 9 yards a carry. Definitely a back to look out for.

it seems as if this game does not have nearly as much hype as last years...

One of the best rivalries in the state. Last year, MBA has a 19 game winning streak and beat Ensworth 14-0 on their homecoming last year. What are the thoughts and predictions for this game at Ensworth? Please refrain from discussing recruitment issues.

Take a look at the Tennessean's "Dandy Dozen" Article in their high school sports section. It has stats, videos and interviews with all the best players.

What makes you think they are too ashamed? He is still ineligible. Back to the talks of the game, what are some of your predictions?

This is the first true test for the Tigers this season. Last year, Ensworth came out on top 35-14. What's the word for this week?

First of all, his name is Antonio Richardson and he is a fine young man. Very well spoken, and incredibly smart. He is ineligible right now until he moves into the school zone. Every single day, there are debates on whether schools recruit or not. And in truth, they do and always will. But certainly not for athletics, alone. It's the schools job to go out and find kids that might be interested in the school because how else would schools like mba, ensworth, or ba get money? They need students to keep their schools running. PRivate schools maybe have about 110 students per grade, so of course they are going to try to find students. Whether they are the quartback of the football team, or the leads in the play, they are going to get recruited to that school. But what if they cant afford it? Not a problem, tons of schools offer financial aid to persuade those students even more to come to the schoool. Not many kids get the opportunity to attend a school as good as mba or ensworth, so they are going to take advantage of it. Kids come to these schools because they are on the map not only for their athletics, but also their education. Why would a student, like Antonio, pass up a chance to go to one of the finer schools in Tennessee.

I know its late notice, but today at 4:30, Hillsboro will travel to Ensworth to scrimmage the Tigers. Last year the two teams met and Hillsboro ran the table. Any predictions on how it will go today? Two very talented teams...a must see before the upcoming season.
