Meigs County defeats Notre Dame 25-7...Tigers take 1st in region!!

I watched Meigs County soundly beat Notre-Dame last night, and came away impressed with a few players for Meigs.

Their QB, Tyler Roberts, is very quick and has a decent arm.

Their middle LB, Tyler Mobriant, is huge and a stud at stopping the run (he also had two interceptions). His younger brother, Charlie, is a stud running back that one player can't tackle.

One of their receivers, Brent Maddron, has the best hands I've seen in many years. And his downfield blocking is great.

This team will definitely make the playoffs.

 

From all I hear, McMinn Central's biggest problem may be their new coach. He is a good coach and may eventually build a strong program there. But being a good coach doesn't mean he's very intelligent. Coming into this Region as a young and brash coach, Coach Derrick has mouthed off to everyone that "there's a new sheriff in town, and we are going to put an end to losing to teams of our Region". He specifically mentioned they WOULD beat Polk County and Meigs County.....two of Central's biggest rivals. While Coach Derrick has focused on the big boys and felt they were his only competition, a team like Sequoyah (the Region's doormat for several years) felt that they were being slighted by him and decided to welcome him into the Region by opening a serious can of whoop-#### on him. Regardless of Coach Derrick's previous coaching experience in Georgia and his successes there, he needs to learn respect for everyone else in his Region. His portfolio would have been better served if had "class, character, and humble" in there. This year will be long for him, and he will have a lot of explaining to do at season's end BECAUSE of him running his mouth prior to the season.

i agree but you got to relize who it is i mean come on central has always been good at running that mouth and not backin it up. But on meigs and ND terms GO TIGERS!!!! keep it up and keep gettin better each week and i think that you all have a good chance of takin it a pretty good way

Meigs has a lot of talent and they all showed up

Coach Martin and his staff seem to have the Tigers playing as a team, and if they continue playing that way they'll have a successful year in this tough Region. What really impressed me was how nearly all the players on the field congratulated a teammate for a good play - whether on offense or defense. And the closeness of the players when they were on the sidelines shows they care for each other.

Thank you - I stand corrected. I guess I should have checked my football program closer.

 

Are you a Meigs player or fan? Having only watched Meigs against Notre-Dame, I was very impressed with both the Meadows and Maddron young men at receiver. I already knew about Meadows, but I thought Maddron caught the ball exceptionally well considering he had to work hard to get at least one of the balls. He and Meadows both run good routes, and their downfield blocking was very good. I was told he caught a couple of real beauties against McMinn Central.....both covering about 30+ yards against double coverage. He's definitely the "possession" receiver I would go with if I had to have a first down.

 

Also, having a threat at kicking extra points and field goals has added a new dimension to Meigs. Just an all around solid team in every phase of the game. That will guarantee you a playoff spot if they continue playing the way they did against Notre-Dame.

Sorry, didnt mean for it to sound like that just didnt want people getting them confused. Both the recievers are good. Athleticly, Meadows is probably the hands down better player but Maddron plays hard and is pretty good in the clutch (the two catches at McMinn Central). Both fit in to the system and play their roles. Dont forget that the Tigers have two pretty good un-sung players at tight end, Phillips and Moore. Moore doesnt play as much offense to keep him fresh on D but both players block well and have pretty good hands. Dont overpraise Meigs though, ND didnt play very well in the second half, Meigs still had some turnovers and penalties they can work on and some blown blocking assignments. Meigs really needs to focus week to week because its not going to get any easier, they've already played McMinn Central.

No, I truly do thank you for the correction. I report in this area for one of the major recruiting services. Although the incorrect information would have been caught, it still would have been embarrassing for me to report on Charlie, yet called him Tyler.

 

I still believe Charlie can play SEC football, but he needs to improve his speed and be more aggressive in using the strength he has. He was still a man amongst boys Friday night, and absolutely killed a Notre-Dame running back on one play. I'm still not sure about his GPA, but I'll know this week.....and that won't affect his star rating.

 

I know (at least I was told this) that Tyler Roberts has already inked scholarship papers to play baseball at the University of Memphis. Maddron, the blue-collar, clutch receiver, can play receiver at some of the smaller colleges around here. I first heard about him from a small college coach near Knoxville. That coach heard about his receptions from the Central/Meigs game and asked me to watch him and evaluate him while I was there Friday night.

 

Meadows and Tyler Mobriant will be back next year to play for the Tigers, but both can play at the next level. It wouldn't surprise me if T Mobriant gets an offer from an SEC school next year, if he keeps improving and stays injury-free. Zach Rayl is the one to keep an eye on at Meigs. He's pretty tough for a freshman and has very good size. Is he projected to play QB next year?

 

Yes, I realize that Notre-Dame wasn't what they were last year, but I believe their second half play wasn't good because of the relentless, defensive pressure Meigs' brought. That's the first Notre-Dame team I've ever seen get manhandled the way they did.....on both sides of the ball. Most all of the high school teams are still experiencing some turnovers and blown assignments this early in the season. The rate of improvement from here on out in these areas will determine who makes the playoffs and whether the first round is at home or on the road.

 

I think Meigs' schedule still has some very solid teams left on there. If they can go 8-2 and get a home playoff spot with that schedule, they'll probably advance to the second round.

 

I appreciate your input. And please feel free to correct me when I err on a name.

A lot of good points. I think Charlie would make a great addition to a team because the way he's framed they can mold him into what they want. Too slow? Throw 40 lbs on him and put him at end. See what I mean? You do this for a living so I'm sure you know wht your talkin about. The thing with Maddron is speed. He's got good hands, runs good routes, coachable, but in my opinion he's slow and would get just flat out covered up in the next level. Once again, stick him with a college speed coach and see what might happen. Rayle has a good future ahead of him if he plays it right. He'll probably top out at 6'4" 200lbs before he graduates. Also, excellent speed for a freshman.

Both Mobriant and Maddron can drop .2 second off their 40 time in a few weeks with some proper speed coaching, which they would get in college. Shuttle times are more relevant to the colleges, though, but most smaller high schools don't do that. The reactionary times from each of Mobriant and Maddron (when Maddron was on defense) appeared to be very good, so that's a huge plus.

 

I still think Mr. Mobriant will play MLB in college. He's obviously been in the weightroom a lot and is very strong, therefore he can plug the middle well. Lateral footwork drills will help him a lot and will allow him to cover a running play tackle to tackle, or a tight end roaming across the middle. Again, these improvements will come in college. A lot of the SEC coaches see a lot of different things they want in a player they recruit. Who knows, Mr. Mobriant may end up at DE.....but I doubt it because if he bulks up too much he would probably lose the speed he would need to be a rush DE.

 

And the things you said about Mr. Maddron "got good hands, runs good routes, and very coachable" are EXACTLY what colleges want in a "possession" receiver. He's not a post pattern receiver, but he is the receiver you want to throw to when you have to have a first down. His pattern running was superb in the aspect that he blocked first and just sort of slipped off as if he had done his job of blocking....then bang, he caught the ball. He's very deceptive on his route intentions, and that's something that even college receivers have a hard time disguising. Honestly, I was wondering why they didn't throw a couple more balls to him. Remember Bobby Graham that played at Tennessee about 6 years ago? Not blessed with speed, but he was THE man you could depend on to catch the ball when it was imperative. And Bobby played with two receivers who are in the pros now....yet he was the one who the coaches had the most confidence in when thewy needed to throw ffor the first down.

 

I'm not always right, but my track record is pretty good at spotting talent and potential. There's a lot more games in this area for me to watch in person, and I've already started watching some gamefilms. I do hope to see Meigs again. I always enjoy coming to Decatur and seeing the hometown pride. Best of all is that the young men who play at Meigs are very good, respectable young men, and that's not something you see at the majority of high school programs.....even in this area.
