Lenoir City at Knoxville Halls

[fairplay2121]

I find it interesting that Hightower has ran for over 1000 yards in 7 games and his team has only 3 wins. Also, he has rushed for over 170 yards 4 times and his team is only 1-3 in those games. He must be a great runner.

 

Defense must be L.C.'s weakness. They give up an average of over 30 points a game. It would be much higher but Clinton and Campbell Co. have terrible offenses and only combined for 13 against L.C.

 

This could turn into a "see who can score the most and score last" kind of games if Halls doesn't stop Hightower or at least slow him down.

I think you have legit concern RD. My hopes are that our line will play better this week. One thought is that our defense was more concerned about stopping Powell around the corners and became weak in the middle. I don't think that will be the case this week.

 

I am going to say Halls 38 , L. C. 14

 

 

I agree with your comment. Especially early, it looked like Halls was too worried about Watts and worried too much about contain and started to leave the middle open. I dont know much about Lenoir City other than they got spanked by Powell and Central and correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think LC has a player like Watts to be worried about. I think Halls will step up and stop or atleast contain the Hightower kid because from these stats people are giving it looks like he is all they have. Halls wins big!

Did anyone see O'Conner's FG against Powell. I didn't have a great angle but it looked like the ball was place beyond the 40 yard line but it was called a 48 yarder. I thought it was about 51. What is the school record now?

No, it was a 48 yard field goal. The ball was put down at the 38. I had a great angle from the pressbox.

 

That said, the kick had a good 8 yards to spare. It likely would have been good from about 54-55 yards away.

Considering the wet footing and the rain still falling, that was a pretty impressive kick.

Absolutely it was. There was never any doubt.

Halls snapped back and looked pretty good tonight. The game was never really in doubt.

Overall, Halls looked solid. No turnovers by the first team and not near as many penalties.

 

Hightower is a very good running back. He is a big play waiting to happen. He had one big play tonight.

 

Defensive backs were a major positive for Halls. I lost count, but I think they had 5 interceptions.

 

Next up for Halls is at Maryville.
