CENTENNIAL vs. GLENCLIFF

[CHS 2007]

Centennial comes in at 3-2 (2-1) and is looking to snap a streak of 3-straight Homecoming losses. Glencliff comes in at 1-3 (0-2) and looking to pull an upset. Both teams have alot of speed and athleticism, and each have dual-threat QBs in Scales and Clemons.

 

A CHS win would give the Cougars their best start since 2002. Still, Glencliff is a very athletic team and could cause some problems. Thoughts on this one?

If Glencliff's Head coach will let Clemons throw the ball ,this will open up their running game like it did against NW

he just can't wait till midway through 3rd quarter to do it. This has the chance to be a very intersting game. If the Colts throw the ball I'll take them If not than Centennial should snap their 3-stright Homecoming losses.

 

Go Colts

gotta give it to my cougars in this one.

 

prediction CHS 49 GHS 7

 

too much talent for the cougars

[zoosee12]

49 points

i dont think centennial has ever put up 49 points in a game

 

i think centennial takes this one handily but not by 42 points

last year was a close game, both teams scoring in the 30s but lets face it this is a different and much better centennial team

CHS 35

GHS 14

[StarAlumni]

Siegel has played both of these teams and I would have to say that Centennial will take this one easily. Scales is probably the fastest player I have ever seen in high school, and that even goes back to the Riverdale glory days with Gaston Miller and Antwaan Smith. I think Centennial with their speed can beat Glencliff by 21+

[CHS 2007]

Gameday. It's homecoming and the fans will be there in full force. Here's how CHS can snap the homecoming drought.

 

Get the running attack back: Despite the 27-0 win, last week was the worst rushing performance of the season for CHS. Coming into the game averaging nearly 170 yards a game on the ground (including back-to-back games of 220 or more) picked up only 50 last week. The CHS gameplan hinges on the running game. We need to be more effective on the ground to open up some plays through the air.

 

Limit Mistakes: Last year, a slew of key mistakes by Centennial turned a blowout into a shootout. Two turnovers in the fourth quarter turned a 38-16 lead into a 38-30 game and let the Colts get back into the game. CHS needs to continue the trend of playing smart, mistake-free football. If we don't, we could be in for an upset.

 

Stay Humble: Basically the calling card for the rest of the season. The Cougars have something special going this year, and it would be a shame to blow it all by taking a couple of plays off or looking ahead. Glencliff has the speed and athleticism to turn a few sloppy plays into a 14 point swing. Stay focused, concentrate on the game at hand, and then worry about the next game when this one ends.

 

Should be a good game. Homecoming always brings an extra buzz into the crowd at CHS. Hopefully the stands will be packed and the Cougars come away with the W.

Final from CHS:

 

CENTENNIAL 41, GLENCLIFF 0

 

Not too many problems for the Cougars tonight. The offense broke alot of big plays and the defense was solid. The starters were out halfway through the third.

 

One big concern for the Cougars though: running back Raymond Jackson left the game early for what appeared to be a left ankle injury. Don't know his status, but hopefully its nothing serious and he'll be ready to go for D.C.

 

All in all, a big win for the Cougars, who continue to play great football. CHS has Dickson Co. next week, then will have a week off to set up for their big showdown with Ravenwood.

I would focus on Dickson County as a "Big showdown" before giving any thought to Ravenwood. Centennial is 2-1 in the region, and a win against DC would essentially put them a game away from having a winning record in region play.
