MBA vs. Ensworth

[Ensworth11]

One of the best rivalries in the state. Last year, MBA has a 19 game winning streak and beat Ensworth 14-0 on their homecoming last year. What are the thoughts and predictions for this game at Ensworth? Please refrain from discussing recruitment issues.

gotta go with MBA until somebody takes them down

[Grey Ghost]

Well, there should not be any talk of recruitment issues - since it applies to both schools - which is why they are both in the same division. Folks are enjoying jumping on Ensworth - but has anybody seriously taken a look at all the athletes BA currently has enrolled? Doesn't matter I guess, since they have two losses.

 

No talk about recruiting - it is DII vs. DII.

 

My prediction for the game is that whoever commits the fewest turnovers will win. Field advantage will be huge in this game - which means the kicking game will be crucial. All I know is that it is going to be quite a game - with portions of anxiety, emotion, intensity, anger, rage, happiness, ecstasy, disappointment, drama, disbelief, and satisfaction. All these elements will be experienced as byproducts of three simpler tenets: Blood, Sweat, & Guts: All delivered by 22 boys slugging it out on the gridiron - giving it their all for their schools.

 

So please posters, remember this when you decide to comment on either school and specifically its players. These boys are going to have the most eyes on them that they will have all year - as this game is on TV as well.

 

This is going to be fantastic. I can't wait.

Has Ensworth added stands on the visitors' side?

[moose]

I know that they were planning on adding stands but there is very little room between the sideline and the parking lot. There is not much room over there to add enough stands. There will not be enough seats this year. Do you think it will draw as big of a crowd as last year?

[ehstiger09]

The visitor stands are larger this year, and they have moved last year's visitor stands to the back of one of the endzones.

 

should be a great game.

Thats what we did for Father Ryan last year and still could not accommodate everyone.

There are actually more stands than there were for the Ryan game last year. They have put in stands behind the fence of the scoreboard end zone, as well as getting bigger stands on the visitor sideline. That having been said, I still don't think there will be nearly enough seats, so anyone who is going to the game should be ready to watch the game on their feet.

I think Orleans Opoku-Darkwa will kill them on the ground.

If Ensworth is one dimensional, Tavares and Orleans will get some yards but I think they will have a hard time beating the Big Red. They will have to mix it up, or MBA will stack it up to stop the run.

That's disappointing. Why have they not added sufficient seating?

I coached an elementary school game there a few weeks ago, and I thought the stadium seemed very nice.

 

What's the word on the injury to MBA's tight end?
