Oakland @ Ensworth

[warhawks]

GO OAKLAND! Patriots have a excellent coaching staff as well. GO PATRIOTS!

How Ensworth performs at QB will be key. Losing Tavarres Jefferson hurt Ensworth big, and even though a team could key on EHS's dual running threat last year, they still gashed out a ton of yards on the ground. Now that EHS's QB presumaby brings a more formidable passing threat to the game, EHS may be less predictable, and yet still have a hoss in the backfield and some good blockers up front (excellent lines - one of Coach Bowers's underrated trademarks of his teams).

 

Should be a fantastic matchup; looking forward to it.

Good luck Pats.

Unfortunately I will not make this one!! I had planned to until it was changed to Thursday. Anyone know if you can catch it on the internet??? Im very interested to see how Ensworth can handle the power run game. From what I hear, Ensworth is probably the most talented team on the Oakland schedule. But with talent at a bunch of positions how will the depth be a factor??

Ensworth 27-14 over Oakland. Ensworth is loaded this year. Depth would be the main concern for them as the season progresses, but right now that should not be an issue. Oakland is an excellent football team with some very talented players returning from last year's championship squad. They will fare well again this year, but this Ensworth team is flat out dangerous and I think they are about to shock some folks in their home opener tonight. Saw them in the preseason and was very impressed with their size and athleticism, but even more impressed by how physical and well-coached they are. Can't wait to see this one as I can not imagine a better matchup to begin the '09 season. Every high school football fan in the mid-state should tune in for this one, as I think you will be hard-pressed to find a game this year with more talented athletes on the field. Good luck to both teams.

GO PATRIOTS!

The weather right now is Oakland's friend.........that may be the big equalizer tonight. This batch of storms coming thru now is pretty fierce and there is another one coming from Arkansas that may hit around the 2nd quarter.

 

Remember I told you so.....

Good Luck OAKLAND!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry Ensworth, but I admit prejudice for Oakland.

[warriordawg31]

looks like the game is postponed until Saturday nite??

[TronCarter]

Good call by Ensworth:

 

1. I think it benefits everyone by this game being played in ideal conditions

 

2. It certainly benefits Ensworth because of their offense

 

3. It benefits their gate tremendously....Titans play on Friday...no competition other than MBA-PC that night
