ftblledge14 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Share Posted August 23, 2006 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerclaw Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 If Marshall Co. wins 28-7 it's because the bus had an accident from Pleasant View to Lewisburg. Give Sycamore a little respect now man. They have gone 3-0 against Marshall Co. the last three years Your comic book is just adding pages!!!!!!!!!

tigerman Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 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 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melton Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
