Dont know much about Christian Bros but MBA is looking stronger than ever... only 23 points given up in the last three games... MBA by 17

 

I would expect this game to be much closer based on the strength of the CBHS defense. MBA must contain the BEST defensive end tandem in the state (Ligon & Brucker), which if at 100% may be the game changer. I saw the MUS-CBHS game earlier in the year [21-14 loss], which arguably was the hardest battle for the Owls in 2008. MBA on film resembles MUS but I don't think they are as solid and disciplined on both sides of the ball. A quick start by CBHS and solid performances by senior standout Danny Ritt and kickers Sexton / Acosta could make for a pleasant ride back to Memphis on Friday night. Go Brothers!

You'd have to have an awfully good kicker to beat MBA in that category. MBA has been prone to slow starts this season, and that can be very damaging. Additionally, the seemingly mandatory once a game unsportsmanlike confuct penalty is not helpful.

I do know that there won't any problem containing these ends on the right side due to the DI prospect Wesley Johnson. Wise's backside could be a problem but he does scramble well enough to give Tanner and Paty plenty of time to get open.

 

 

After having seen Ligon and Brucker in action, you'd better figure out a way to clone Wesley Johnson by tomorrow night or your QB is going to spend a lot of time looking up at the night sky.

Should be a great battle on both sides of the line, as left DE Ligon is also a D1 prospect. Good genes here as older brother captained the TN Vols team a few years ago. As far as Brucker at right DE, he may not be a D1 football prospect but he has incredible speed and strength. The latter is supported by TSSAA state championships in both the Shot Put and Discuss over the past few years. These two bookends have tallied 18 QB sacks and 33 tackles for loss YTD, and each have missed a game or two with injuries. Again, I pray both are healthy as strong play from the CBHS defensive line will be needed to contain the high-powered MBA offense.

 

As mentioned earlier, I do think this game will be decided by special team play, particularly that of the kicking game. CBHS should be confident here as Acosta (kickoffs & long FG's) and Sexton (punts, FG's, PAT's) are the best I have seen in Shelby County. From what I hear, junior Acosta is already getting serious looks from several D1 schools based on his ability to consistently put the ball in the end zone.

 

Can't wait for Friday @ 7pm. Go Brothers!

    • Congratulations to Huntingdon and Station Camp. Lots of good softball in Tennessee. Alcoa been media favorite last two seasons. 
    • Im more of a Basketball follower than football and like I said we play what we have, there is no going and recruiting or even talking kids into transferring…..and to rebut about Memphis teams in finals I’ve watched Memphis East and Penny Hardaway with the enrollment of a single A team play up and dominate any and all challengers for years! They aren’t the only ones either Mike Miller and son at Germantown put together that super team a couple years ago that ran through the rest of the state! Other teams from Memphis or Chatt or Nash or any large populated area pop up and are relevant out of nowhere every year because they get an influx of talent be it from a new coach or AAU affiliations it happens in football also just like any other sport! I hope these two schools that close join together and get to play the team you support, then you may see it differently! I find it funny some of you think recruiting and resources don’t matter . The county schools get very little funding also but you don’t want to get me started on that part! 
    • In a total classless move, Coach Simmons once again shows his true colors. Waits till the day after school is out to let everyone know he is leaving. Fails up to a community college job after a lackluster 2 year span at GH. And do not tell me about the state run that saved a sub .500 season and plenty of whippings by Cookeville and Lebanon.  Looks like the girls job at GH is cursed. Terrible MS program/coaches feeding what is turning out to be a joke of a HS team.
