Cascade vs. Mt. Pleasant

[wholder]

This will be tough ball for both teams. mTp & Casacde will have to come with there "A" game. This along with the Lewis Co & Hickman Co should be two of the best second round match ups. I am going with mTp, but I will say neither team will by more than 18 points. I say it will be close down to the end.

Whenever you decide to get that lazy rear end out of bed, Youngtiger, I'd like to hear your take on the game last night... Did McEwen play a good game last night, or was M.P. just shooting themselves in the foot? That game was closer than I was expecting.

 

 

Also, what do you think will be the determining factors in our game on Friday? Where are the matchup problems going to be for both teams? I'm looking forward to watching my first game in The Jungle. Everyone says it is a great Football experience. Make sure you and 88 hollar at us Friday. I'm going to try and get there early and join you guys for some tailgating.. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

For what it is worth, it was just a plumb ugly football game. Personal fouls, holding, fumbles & some silly mistakes made it an ugly game for mTp. McEwen held in the game because of those mistakes.

My post on McEwen/MP thread gives a good synopsis of the game. I hope. Check it out. That was the sloppiest game I have ever seen MP play and I've been watching since I was like 5.

 

The atmosphere at the Jungle is great when the fans don't act crazy. Cascade 11, watch film on McEwen and tell me what you think of Daily. 325 yards and 3tds on a D that Cascade only scored 17pts on. I think he's a gifted athlete, but the MP coaching staff drives me nuts (kinda like when I played).

 

I think this will be a great game, if MP doesn't turn the ball over and plays with some heart!!!! I think MP has more speed than Cascade, but Cascade is more fundamentally sound and disciplined. #74 on the defensive line is 6-5lbs 300lbs and he blows up plays in the backfield in t running. A freshman, just a pup, but already a hoss. MP has a ton of good football players and so does Cascade. I think MP is much more explosive, but Cascade is more balanced, more consistent, and there's a lot to be said for that type of play. Should be a great game. Two different styles.

Thanks for the info. I would caution against making common opponent comparisons. Not only are the opponents different from when each team played them (McEwen's starting QB is out with a broken leg.), but our individual teams are different. I can safely say, the team that only beat McEwen 17-14 will not be the team that shows up next week. I'm sure you would say the same thing about the team that got beat by Moore County last week. Bottom line, these are high school kids and you shouldn't read too much into what they do in any given game. Look at the season as a whole and you'll get a better picture. I hope MP is at full strength next week. We've still got a couple of kids banged up, but were getting more healthy. One of our starting linebackers has some lingering injuries and another one didn't see the field a lot last night after getting released the day before. I think he was held out more for precaution than anything, but should be on the field more next week. I'd like to see both teams at full strength next week so we truly can see how they matchup.

This is going to be a good one!

Pred, if you come next week, you better put a leash on the youngun'. I started to pick up another kid I thought was him when he went missing and that kid's mother was not a happy camper. There were too many 3 year old blonde headed kids running around last night. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

OOps. That's The problem With Living West Of The River, I Stand Corrected. http://www.sweetim.com/s.asp?im=gen&ref=10

 

Either way its a loss--one that shouldn't have happened--It was a HUGE wakeup call-- /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

MP has taken over the lead in the voting... This is going to be an interesting week.

Mcewen has lost several key players since the cascade game and cascade gained nick batts

Man, I didn't know you started a thread on our game when I started this one. I ask Rob to move yours over into this one, so we only have one thread on this game. I hope you don't mind. I just like having the poll option so you can get a better idea of how the general population feels the game will come out. More often than not, the poll results have been accurate this season. We'll have to see what happens with this one..

 

 

 

Its no problem at all man, I would have started a poll had I thought about it. It was late and I am just excited about this match-up as well as a few others and I wanted to see what some peoples take on this game was.

I can tell I will NOT be able to be on coach t this week. Whoever said that ANYBODY plays with more heart than MP has rocks in his head. How many injuries have we had to deal with this year??? We had FOUR starters out last night, and it seems like we've had at least one person hurt for every game this year, but somebody has always stepped up. Cascade is obviously a great team and I don't know what all they've had to deal with and I take nothing away from their success, but we have had less than ideal conditions to work with this year and have still made it to the second round, for pete's sake! This is probably just the mama in me taking it too personally but statements like that make me sick. Cascade 11, I look forward to seeing you and anyone else that comes by the tailgate.

 

Go Tigers!
