Sycamore vs. Marshall Co. on paper

I think those who watched the last three games do give Sycamore respect..

they've come up with the W's. But in none of those games did I think the best team won.

Marshall County had total fourth quarter meltdowns in '03 & '04 to turn wins

into losses & last year a pretty inept offensive effort doomed the Tigers against

a team they were more talented than.

I give Sycamore & their coaches through the years a lot of credit. They get the

most out of their talent & utilize their players to the best of their abilities.

No way do I see Marshall County losing this game, especially if they can get

their OFFENSE cranked up.

But I thought there was now way we'd lose the last three years either !!!

That's why we play the games on the field..not on paper.

 

I hate to tell you but a football game consist of what a tteam does all 4 quarters not just the 1st 3 and then give up in the 4th you have to play hard through the whole game

True, but a one quarter blitz doen't necessarily mean you're the best team, but

it can win you a football game. There is a difference between being the winner

and being the best team.

But you know what ? I'd rather be the winner any day ! And that's exactly

what Sycamore has been the last three years.

I'm hoping tomorrow night the Tigers can be the best team on the field and also

the winner.

No fourth quarter meltdowns this year.

Marshall's defense couldn't hold Pleasant View Christian to 7-POINTS!!!!

 

 

BC, I like you man, and there was a time I would agree with that

statement.

But things are changing in Lewisburg and the defense is showing some

signs of returning the good ole days. I'm as anxious as anyone to see

if they can put forth another good effort this week.

Sure, they'll still have some breakdowns, but if they don't get left on

the field for long periods of time you'll see they've made big strides.

They were the bright spot last week, not the offense.

 

Spring Hill had dangerous talented skill players. Holding them to 17 points

was not shabby. If our offense hadn't hit a funk in the 3rd quarter I'm not

sure they even get 17.

 

We'll know more about 10 o'clock tomorrow night won't we ?

If my prediction is right, we'll know before that.

If they beat Sycamore, Creek Wood, Greenbrier, and Page over the course of the next month then I'll say that they are a legit threat to win the region title this year. Sycamore is supposed to have their best team since the 2003 season when they were one yard at Greenbrier away from the quarterfinals of the playoffs. Those next three teams were hit hard with graduation to key parts of their teams but by year's end they'll all be good as usual. If Marshall Co. ever wants to get them then it would be good to beat them all early in the season.

 

That would set up a second half schedule of:

 

Clarksville (Region 6-4A Favorites)

Cheatham Co. (Playoff team the last four years)

Lipscomb (Region 5-3A Favorites)

Montgomery Central

Giles Co. (Much Improved & Ready to Make a Statement)

Sycamore came from behind to beat Creek Wood last week with little offensive production. They forced 2 turnovers and had some penalties called on the Red Hawks that gave them the chance to win on their last drive in the 4th. It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win. Creek Wood piled up 229 yards rushing, but they couldn't finish drives. Sycamore has 9 seniors starting on offense and 7 starting on defense. Marshall Co. lost their QB in the preseason, and they did not play that well last week against a not-so-hot Spring Hill team.

 

I want to see this Don'ta Hightower kid play, he's apparently a decent prospect. I have been trying to picture a 6'4" 235 running back taking a handoff from a 5'10 QB. I want to see how he carries his size and if he has another gear. Should be a good game, I don't think we'll see a blowout either way, but you have to go with experience in high school games because the experienced players usually make fewer mental mistakes and don't get rattled as easy.

 

Sycamore 23

Marshall 20

You will see Don'ta & we will see a Tiger win. And it's really not going to be

close.

While you're watching Don'ta get an eyefull of #4 and #22 as well.

With Don'ta you can blink, with the other two you'd better not.
