[dwps2]

Best of luck to both teams but i think Catholic wins because of physicality up front. Catholic by 7

[Brittniwest08]

i'm still trying to decide if this will be a high or low scoring game?

[FHSFOOTBALL51]

Catholic is gonna lay a beat down on Mo West... Catholic by 17

[Topgun]

Catholic wins out against West.

[STARSNBARS]

I think Catholic wins.

 

Not sure how good Mo West is on defense. I know the Hogue kid at safety is good, but other than that I know Mo West lost quite a few players.

 

Nonetheless an interesting game...That will be very short....Lots of ground action.

 

Good luck to both teams.

According to KnoxNews Prep Extra, there are 111 players listed on the Catholic team. However, 40 or so of those listed are freshmen. West has 107 players practicing with the varsity of which none are freshmen. We have an additional 40 of 50 on the freshmen team. However, the game is not won by how many players are on the sideline.

 

West typically does not play players both ways (in certain situations that is not the case), but for the most part it is true. Additionally, there are probably another 18 players or so that will see some playing time in the game (around 40 consistently will play in most games). Again, this does not guarantee a win, but the players are not as fatigued as teams who have players playing both sides of the ball most of the game.

 

There is no doubt that West will have their hands full on Friday night. I do not know much about Catholic, but their reputation speaks volumes. Both teams will have to play flawlessly for the win. The game will be hard fought and won by less than a touchdown. In the end West will take advantage of a Catholic mistake and come out on top. I cannot even begin to predict the score. In any event, this is just an opinion and hopefully will provide some basis discussion.

 

I would like to hear about some of the Catholic players; size, speed, offense style, etc. What should West expect?

 

That's the key. Catholic never beats themselves with mistakes. The are very disciplined on both sides of the ball. If you are counting on them turning the ball over look for another outlet.

Yeah it'll be a very long drive there...very somber but exciting at the same time!

 

I know lots of people who are going to this game and i was surprised bc of the travel, the principal anounced to get there at 5 bc of the seating situation so i have a feeling it will be a very packed game.

 

Our players are preparing the best they can it will be one of the hardest games to play this year...so anyone who wants to support or just show for the battle should!

 

Well I have a little further than you to travel as I live between Morristown and Greeneville, but I should be able to make it

Hey leectn.

 

Should not really be any surprises. Woods and Pemberton coached the TN/KY All Star Team/Game this past summer. Catholic does run the Wing T. Nothing unique about formations, sets, plays, etc. What is unique is that they do have some bigger kids than you might normally see for that offense. QB (Lindsey) is back, and a SR. Smart, tough kid. Saw one scrimmage in spring against Rhea Co, and Halls this fall. Fullbacks, 2 or 3 rotate. Wingbacks, same. No Harrison Smith types, but they seem to run hard. WRs are big, fast, good blockers. Defense has 9 of 11 back. I really like their front 7. NG (Wood) is stout 5-10, 230. They have 3 DTs that play a lot. All JRs. Coulter 6-2, 230, Hood 6-5, 245, and Tait, 6-4, 300. Both OLB/DEs are SRs Mubarak 6-2, 210, and Giles, 5-10, 195. Both ILBs are SRs. Trusller, 6-2, 220, and Tait, 6-2, 230. DBs are all 5-10, to 6-1 types that break well. A lot like your Kim kid. I really don't know about their depth as I left the scrimages when the ones went out. Don't really know how fast any of them are individually.

Maybe. I don't think so though. MoWest is a annual participant in the 4A semifinals, and the last team to claim victory over the Mville Rebs. They are well coached and, have more depth than Catholic on a day when depth will be important. They have a very good quarterback in Wild who can really throw it, outstanding ILBs and a very good secondary, especially at the Strong and Free Safety spots with Houge and Kim. RB is a big fast one who won't go down with an arm tackle. Their DL may have some inexperience, but they are not soft, and the kids expect to win every game. Catholic is a good 3A program, but only 3A because of the multiplier, and in reality a school that has a 2A population. This one really is a "pickem/toss-up." Never say never, but I would be shocked if either team wins by 21+ points.
