REGION 1 & REGION 2 4A Jamborees

South looked significantly bigger than everybody. Bottom line with South...If you don't get a lot (key words A LOT) of pressure on Curt YOU WILL LOOSE. But we all knew that. What we now know is that the also have the receivers that will test anybodies secondary. So what to do... if you blitz every time Curt will hurt you with the arm. If you double up on pass coverage (because they are sending at least four almost every play) Curt will hurt you with the feet. WHAT TO DO???! I say try to stay in the game till the fourth quarter. Depth seems to be an issue for South because many players play both ways. Central and North were as expected and unfortunately Central will have an even tougher time because they lost their starting QB for a while to a possible broken wrist on his throwing arm... and he was running the show for the Cougars. Hopefully not...but it don't look good. Unicoi, East and Elizabethton will battle for the fourth spots, Johnson County really impressed me tonight! Hard nosed as expected but I have to say that Mtnmaroon called it...JC is actually more athletic this year. In fact, I predict that #18 with give Phillips a run for his money for Offensive Player of the Year. I walked away tonight seeing a close three way race for the conference title with South having a slight edge in momentum.

 

I agree with your take on even having a chance to stop Phillips. It was hard to judge just how good they (SS) were but not him. The ball just comes out of his hands different and he is a horse when he runs. You nailed it on the predictions also. Sullivan East was better than I expected and Besty seemed a little flat. It will be a long season and injuries hopefully will not come into play any further. I hate to hear this about the Central QB. He looked like a good athlete that could beat some people with his feet. As for TN High, they are always right there. They had size and speed and looked like a contender. Let the games begin.

I got there half way thru the 1st Qtr when TnHigh was playing. They looked huge to me and I think they have quite a bit of youth, so they'll be around for 3 yrs, on the line and at QB. I've seen South so much that I guess I just don't think of them as being that large. Other than South and TNHigh, I was not particularly impressed. South has not scrimmaged anyone of measure, so I'm eagerly awaiting a test. All of these teams will improve over the course of 2-3 more weeks, as they play. I think the MLC is up for grabs between 2 teams, maybe 3 teams.

Curt also won the fastest back. Where are all these Betsy burners I've heard about??
