Stone Mem. vs. LA (Something's gotta give)

[2008BARACK]

LA vs. Stone. Hooray Stone week is here. A couple of 0-8 teams. Somebody will crack the win column and I'm thinking LA. Only positive I see for Stone is playing at home. My lead is down to 6.5 percent. BD may be right, Overton Co. is bringing out the voters.

I think the game is a toss up. I guess Ill go with LA by 7

Well I hope LA wins because an 0-10 season hasn't happened in a very long time. Very embarrassing for LA.

Okay I gotta play devil's advocate here.

 

Stone's advantages: Home field advantage. Stone averages roughly 8 points a game, while livingston averages about 4. Not exactly a battle of the offenses, but Stone still has the upside. Stone has the better kick return team also. Even against the greater-than-Livingston teams of AE, Catholic, Fulton and Kingston, usually Stone has good kick returns. Stone has never had an 0-10 season, so they will be ready to play.

 

Livingston's advantages-I'm bringin out the stats again for this one. Defense could win the game for LA. Stone gives up an average 44 points a game, while LA gives up 28. Stone starts a large percentage of Freshman and sophomores, while LA starts a large percentage of Juniors and Seniors. Experience plays a huge roll in football.

 

My prediction might change, but as of right now I'm going with-

 

Stone-7

LA-3

 

Not gonna be a high scoring game. But then again a win is a win.

You might need to redo your math. Cause Stone is averaging 8 points a game while Livingston is averaging 6 point a game. Also, on the defense side of the ball Stone is giving up 42 points a game where Livingston is giving up 29 points a game.

 

I am going with Livingston by 21 points.

After hearing all of those numbers its pretty hard to get excited about this thread.

Good Point! It does make it sound a bit like a very unimpressive match-up.

As I have commented before both of these schools play extremely difficult schedules, and despite the bad records they are not bad teams. I personally think Livingston is the best winless team in the state (if that matters at all). LA does have a very solid defense and will win this one. Stone at home will keep it very close.

 

LA: 3

Stone: 0

Do they make a patch for best winless team to go on letterman jackets??

I gotta congratulate you on arguing with every single one of my posts. You really seem to have a thing with bashing me with wrong information.

 

I got those stats straight out of prep xtra. They didn't have the stats for the bledsoe game, so i added in those stats and that where i came up with the numbers. And i guarantee you they're right. Argue with the knoxnews guys if you want the numbers changed.

If the Stone Defense does not step up I give the win to LA. Our Defense has to keep us close so that the Offense can have a chance. I think the defense will be up since they where embarssed by AE.

 

LA-13

SMHS-21

I predict that the game will be cancelled due to a lack of interest.
