Beech vs. Columbia 5A State Championship

[tandem]

For you Columbia fans trying to make light of a few posts talking about how amazing Beech is, most all those posts were put up by non Beech posters. I am a Beech guy and I will say again, we are an undersized bunch of mostly sophs and jrs who play their guts out. We have maybe 1 or 2 guys who MIGHT eventually play on Saturdays (small school). Unlike Mitchell who had like 5 or 6 d1 kids. We start 3 or 4 srs on offense and 3 or 4 srs on defense. We start as many sophs on defense as we do srs. We have been smaller than nearly every team we have played this year. We only returned 4 starters from last year. Believe me, Beech fans will not be talking smack. We just hope we can make a game of it and stay on the same field with you guys based on what I am hearing on here about your d.

I havent watched Columbia play but, jus making a statement that football in Middle Tennessee is different from the east or west, not saying its better I think its really competitive in Mid Tn. I know the Knoxville area is competitive and the Memphis area. Some years the teams from these areas play for the title and I wouldnt say either one is better all around it just differs from year to year. I think Beech takes the title this year.

I think this will be a battle of Beech's O-line and Columbia's D-line. Whoever wins the battle of the line win's the game.

Beech blocks extremely well .... reminds me of an old Vince Lombardy Green Bay Packer team everyone in the stadium knows whats coming but it's a matter of who executes the best. Columbia has a big hill to climb. No one has run on Columbia all year --- the D-line has stuffed the run. The D-line has been the strength of Columbia's team

Boy ----- it will be fun to watch O-line Vs D-line.

Prediction Beech 35

Columbia 35

 

The team that goes on defense first in OT wins.
