MBA vs. Ravenwood

[rollbigredroll121]

MBA wins this one.... if Ravenwood comes ready to play and the Big Red has a few untimely turnovers then it might be a closer game, nonetheless MBA by 21+

 

 

 

Roll Red Roll!!

Coach Rector's record at Ravenwood speaks for itself...this guy is willing to play anyone, anywhere. This is a classic trap game for MBA with two very emotional games to follow this one. Kids are kids, and I'm sure there is some looking ahead...Coach McGuigin will have his team ready to play come Friday night.

 

No doubt, I'm sure the folks at Ravenwood would be all too happy for MBA's kids to be already dreaming about Ensworth and BA...

The difference in this game should be MBA's o-line. They are an outstanding unit. However, when Ravenwood has their backs against the wall they show up big time,just ask Franklin. I'll take Ravenwood in a low scoring game 14-10.

i try not to take sides in arguments, but YamRocks is definitely right. not only will BA take care of MBA, but i doubt that Edward Vinsang will break the 100 yard mark on the ground. Lets try to keep bias out of this discussion.

 

Vinsang,Waddey and Bartholomew will all have good runnig games. This will be a good game because both teams will be up to playing one another, as always. But I think that MBA will win. They are playing some good football. They gave Hillsboro two opportunities in the closing 2 1/2 minutes to win the game and the defense held strong. Defense is what win games. And MBA has a very good one.

Hillsboro beat Hillsboro.

It amazes me to see MBA's line these days. Through the '70's and early '80's, a 200 lb. linemane was a rarity, and it wasn't unusual to see one under 170. The '79 team that went 11-1 had a 165 lb noseguard.

They are pretty talented up front.

Let's talk about the Ravenwood-MBA game....

 

Much of MBA's success on offense this season can be attributed to those who toil in the trenches and who rarely receive any attention. MBA's O-line is definently not a big, fat, slow offensive line. LT Bailey (6'5" 315), LG Rolff (6'O" 260), C Lipscomb (6'2" 225) RG Adams (5'11" 240), RT Johnson (6'5" 235), and TE Sloan (6'4" 240) are an athletic bunch. Bailey, Lipscomb and Sloan play on MBA's varsity basketball team. Johnson is not a bad basketball player, either. I think both guards, Rolff and Adams, and Johnson are on the wrestling team. On top of that, if you're not accounting for the TE in the secondary, McGuigan's not shy about throwing to him to help keep the defense honest (witness the Hillsboro game).

 

On the defensive side, everyone knows about Bartholomew, but LB Alfonza Knight and S Jas Rader are bringing the wood on defense, too. D-tackles Scott Bubis (5'11 250) and Matt Ferrell (6'3" 250) are big, strong and quick off the ball. The ends, Dane Daniels and Trip DeMoss are tough, fast and contain well. MBA rotates a lot of players on defense to keep them fresh. The entire defensive unit plays fast, exhibit the fact that they held a quick and explosive Hillsboro (last year's 4A runner-up) offense to just 12 points.

 

Ravenwood will have difficulty matching up against MBA and will wear down in the second half. I wouldn't be surprised if MBA won by 21+.
