TN High @ Hamblen West

[THSVikings2004]

TN high is not physical enough to play with Mowest. And they won't be able to tackle #3.

 

Not physical enough? They're probably not big enough, but I think they've been hit on that field enough(DB, South) to "play" with West if Boone can play with them. The main problems I'm worried about are Morristown West's possible passing threats and homefield advantage.

 

The defense got a little bit of a taste of what their going to be up against with that 230+ pounder from Cherokee. Now they have to prepare for three of them.

Our QB, Daniel Booher, has done a bit of both this year and sometimes elects to take it up the field himself.

They are one of the heaviest penalized teams in 4A and could indicate a lack of discipline.

 

 

It would be interesting to find out where the penalties have been called (home vs. away). I have seen all the games and it seems that we do well away, but have to fight the refs at home.

 

Friday night's game against Johnson Co was interesting (read ridiculous). From a West fan's stand point it seems as though Johnson Co was given the benefit of the doubt. Their players were extremely agressive (mouthing and gestures). Many times JC tried to get our starters into something, but other than the talk nothing major happened. The refs did what they had to do to keep control of the game, but it was always against the home team for standing up for themselves.

 

In any event, it was a win for West and a good game. I believe we will be ready for Tennessee High. The seniors are out to prove last year was a fluke and do not have any desire to loose.

 

Should be a good game.

How many players play both ways for Mo. West? And who are they?

I don't believe West has anyone who plays both ways routinely.

Morewest is 11-0 and Coach Woods knows how to win in the play-offs and All roads to the state game presently go through Morristown.

 

The road to the State Championship does not go through Morristown West and never has. Check just south of Knoxville for the road if your looking for one.

No one plays both ways, except special teams. Thats why we are so stong in the forth quarter. Everyone gets breaks, especially the defense because of West High's

long sustained drives. Good question! Now, how 'bout the same question for TN. High?

I have a couple of questions regarding the Vikings:

1. I read or was told TN has about 60 players on roster. Is that correct?; and

2. How big are the defensive and offensive fronts for the Vikings?

62 players. Not a lot compared to Mo West, but the number of players are gradually increasing. I think Tennessee only had 57 or 58 last year.

 

Tennessee's fronts have been smaller than almost all of their opponents' this year. With the lack of size and experience, I'm glad they have had a decent season this year.

 

They also had to get familar with the formations. Instead of the Wing T, they now run the Power I and Shotgun formations.

 

De'Shaud Johnson #5 starts at WR on offense and CB on defense. Cory Strickland gets a little playing time at fullback and defensive end. Scheuer sometimes plays at TE, but mostly plays on defense. There may be a few more, but I'm not sure.

Still, that's a good size squad. I'm sure the Vikings will come to Morristown pumped up and I know Coach Woods and the staff will have the Trojans ready. I really expect a good game this Friday night.

 

Thx for the information.

If Morristown West is the team with the most penalties in 4A, Tennessee should be 2nd or 3rd.

 

That could hold the game up a bit.

Where do you get your info from? West was penalized the least in their conference!
