Did I read that correctly? Cherokee runs the Wing T.....If this is the case, it will be very difficult for CAK to defend. They havent played anyone in several years who ran the Wing T. The last team to run a true Wing T against CAK would be Asheville School 3 years ago. This is completely different for the linebackers. It helps negate the team defensive speed from CAK, if you go where you think the ball is...You will be wrong. This should be a good warmup though, since CAK will be seeing it again this year from Webb.

 

Someone tell me if Cherokee runs the Wing T for sure. There is noway to simulate it in practice, it takes years to learn how to run it correctly. I still expect the Warriors will have a great offensive game and by mid second quarter the defense should be catching on.

 

Another Toss Up in my opinion.

 

CAK played Asheville School as recent as last year and beat them 40-0. They've scrimmaged a couple teams that have run similar offenses. Hopefully that will give them something to go on in how to stop this offense. If Cherokee doenst have much speed then they may have trouble stopping CAKs speed on offense. If CAKs linebackers and line play smart then they could maybe stop this offense. I say its a close one but CAK by 7.

In '03 we were favored to go back to Murfreesboro. CAK knocked us out in the first round.

They've since moved up to 2A. (Probably by "multiplier") They have 92 players on the roster, 17 are seniors.

And being private, you know they've picked up some talent.

 

Cherokee's TUFF ! Always are. I don't know a whole lot about 'em, But I'm sure they'll be big and fast.

Expect a battle in a close one, But something tells me CAK will pull it out.

The last two seasons Asheville school has not run the wing T and the closest thing CAK has seen to it is Rockwood, who runs the double wing. Just let me tell you the Wing T is set up on deception, you think the ball is going one way and all of a sudden it was handed off the other.

 

The Keys to stopping the wing T are simple.

1. The FB/TB gets tackled by the Middle Linebacker on every play.

2. The guards take you to the ball, if the guard pulls the d lineman better get on his butt and chase. If the guard fires out. You make a big pile.

3. Usually teams that run the Wing T throw just enough to keep you honest. You make a Wing T team beat you by passing the football.

4. Everytime you have a chance to hit the QB on a pass play you lay him out. There is a lot of play action in the passing game, so it takes up time

5. DE's cannot play up field or else it is one less person they have to block.

 

Not saying anything about CAK's offense here, it should be fine, but the thing about defense is you have to be disciplined and not go flying with the fakes. Slow Read and play assignment football!

Saw Cherokee Scrimmage in the Spring they do run the wing T, they are VERY physical, If none of them quit they have about 3 BIG backs that make it very difficult to stop there offense. However Cherokee might be one of the best wing T offenses ive faced, CAK could have success putting the ball in the air. In all i think its close game but Cherokee just too physical. Cherokee by 8

Just as APSU310 said, the wing t is all about assingments and physicality on defense...which I don't think will be a problem for CAK. CAK's line will be fine. They've been calling the line small for years and they've always been getting the job done, especially since Coach Bradley's been with the line. I've got CAK by 9.

CAK has 63 players on their roster and they recruit no one if they did they would have alot more size. CAK just gets the absolute most out of everyone and they don't make many mistakes.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
