Any news on Grace and Signal Mountain

 

 

If I'm not mistaking, I think SM had 4 and Grace had 3 during the varsity part of it. Watching the game, both teams dominated on defense most the time, but just when it seemed like the defense would hold, the other team would break one for a TD. Grace looked like that had some issues on the offensive part of the ball with snaps that hurt them some and it looked like a few of their key starters were on the side lines not dressed, probably hurt. SM looks solid for a first year program and runs the wing very well...even throw out of it quite a bit. I would say Grace gave them a much better scrimmage though Grace looked a bit sloppy last night unlike last week against Grace Knoxville. I'm sure that will be worked out quickly though. It was fun to watch and good luck to SM in the start of their program!

OK, cool...I had heard 3 to 3 also but from others 4-3 and didn't want to ruffle any feathers by saying 3-3 and it not being true. It's just a scrimmage. If I had to guess, I would say in an actual game it would still be close but I think Grace has more skilled players as well as experience to win. But like I said, this is a good first year team and they were impressive.

This was a good scrimmage to watch. I thought Grace would be a little more challenging than Whitwell and they were. The Grace defense was tough but they appeared to struggle a little on offense. They were able to score but they came on the legs of their QB. He had 3 long touchdown runs and a couple appeared to come off broken plays, he was very impressive running the ball. However, outside of the QB they didn’t do much. I understand from some of the Grace parents their best receiver is out, maybe that made a difference.

 

Signal Mountain looked pretty good. The offense didn’t look as crisp as last week against Whitwell, but the Grace defense was very tough and didn’t give up much. I still believe the SM offense is ahead of their defense, so I think the Grace faithful should feel pretty good about their defensive performance in this game. The SM defense looked good but gave up the long TD runs to the Grace QB. On a couple they had him in the backfield and let him go (makes for a perfect coaching moment).

 

The good news for Signal Mountain fans is the first two scrimmages have been against Varsity teams and they have done great. It’s hard to believe we have no seniors and only a few juniors and are matching up this well. I would say the future of SM football looks very bright. Coach Price and his staff have done a great job getting this program off and running.

Correct, their top receiver from last year was out as well as two top linemen, one of them a center...both of them seniors. It looked like they were also missing another senior, a guy who played multiple positions last year and kicks for them. Haven't heard anything on them being out long, so hopefully they will be back by the time season begins. Their offense should be just fine, its good to see their defense stepping up this year.

Grace had four staters out on offense, 3 lineman and last years leading receiver in the city, two of them also start on defense. The Grace players looked a little slow and tired. I think that was because the Jr's and Sr's were on a over night trip and stayed up to about 4 o'clock in the morning.

 

Signal mt. looked really good, they are not your typical first year program. It looked like they had 55~60 kids and some good athletes and well coached, they are good enough to play a varsity schedule this year.

      We played South Side this summer and it went into OT and we lost on a last second shot. I thought our girls handled their pressure as well as we have in a while and that is the reason I think we will have a really good ball handling team. South Gibson will have their hands full with Dyersburg and South Gibson has never beat South Side. Back to what I was saying South Gibson needs another ball handler especially if they have to play South Side in a do or die game and handle their pressure. As far as who wins our Region, it will be must see basketball for sure and like I said I like our team. I like your team as well. Huntingdon is loaded 5 in and 5 out and you got a great Junior High Team. Huntingdon Fans are going to have a whole lot of fun the next 5 or 6 years. Loretto is really good this year. I got to watch them in Brentwood. They got a Freshman Guard that can go. Going to be a fun year.

      After seeing Southside this summer I think they will be better than last season.  Seems that the big three Southside, South Gibson and Dyersburg will be the region favorites once again.  In 2A Gibson County is the favorite in that region with a toss up between Westview and Union City.  I think Memphis Business and Gibson Co will represent the west this season.  I think that Westviews run to glass house may end.

      South Gibson better get ready to battle in the deep end because South Side and Dyersburg will be a challenge. They will have to beat Dyersburg in the District Finals to avoid South Side in the Region. South Gibson better find another guard that can handle pressure and score to take pressure off of Dunn. They need to learn to score to take it to another level. They scored 29 and only lost by 7 last year at state. As far as Westview and Union City, they will be pretty good but Gibson County might have the best ball handling team we have had in a while this year with four guards on the floor with 3 PG's. We have 3 seniors with tons of experience. I really love this team this year. Looks like Westview lost out to the girl from Florida to USJ. Unless something happens they will have 1 player back with meaningful minutes. I know they will be competitive for sure but they will have their hands full.

      South Gibson drags you to the deep end and makes you like it. Tough group that communicates and really seems to love competing.  Union City will be improved but don't know how they handle nights were Moss doesn't go off.  South Side is fast and athletic but I don't think they're as good as last year.  Westview girls will be better later in the season because they are depending on folks that haven't done it yet.  Westview may lose a district game but they'll be the 1 seed over UC.  South Gibson beats Dyersburg for that district. South Side runs Jackson again.
