This game will be important to both teams, and will have an impact on playoff seedings.

As usual this game comes down to coaching strategy.

Onside kick-offs, going for 1st down on 4th down, going for 2 vs 1 on extra points, trick plays etc.

Turnovers are normally the deciding factor and again it will be Thursday night.

Can EHS stop BA's fast moving offense is another piece of the game puzzle?

Can BA's defense load up and play EHS strong side offensive line?

Should be a great HS football game.

BA by 10.

I think probably turn-overs are the factor on which to focus. I'm not sure what happened against Oakland, but turnovers were the difference against MBA. If Ensworth holds onto the ball in a manner you'd expect from a good team, I think this one is too close to call. If i had to make a call, I'd probably go with your guess, based solely on BA's depth. If you're an EHS fan, hope for cool weather.

On the Ensworth vs Smyrna board last week there were 56 replies and 95% of those replies were pro-Smyrna.

So it was mostly Smyrna fans making predictions to each other. It is no big surprise it has been quiet week on coach t for the BA/EHS game.

Ensworth and BA supporters don't seem to get excited reading oppposing supporters predictions and summaries of the game, except for EHS fans during the week leading up to the EHS/MBA games.

Don't get me wrong, BA and EHS fans are interested in the big game but choose not to participate in the pageantry of the message boards.

I would say there are only 8 to 10 DII AA fans state wide that post regularly.

About 2 seasons ago there was a turn in the tone of the board here. The children found it, and instead of it being a good forum for serious discussions of football, it became a haven for trash talking kids taking a break in study hall. It seems to have driven away a number of very good posters, especially the BA crowd, who, as I've said before, were both classy and well-informed. It actually got a little embarrassing, with an MBA-Ensworth thread being shut down by the moderators. Most fo the Ensworth posters from that time are gone but not missed (EHSParent being one exception I can recall, though I'm sure there are others). In fairness, I also cringed at some of the things MBA posters were writing.

 

That, IMO, accounts for the paucity of posters on this board.

Didn't realize the game was tonight...I'll be headed over to Granny White to take this one in, wearing the brightest red shirt I can find in the closet. Ought to be a good one.

I'm sure you will be welcome there. Looks to be an exciting game this evening. Nice fall weather, a rivalry and a great game to be sure... doesn't get any better!

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By MissHawking · Posted

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
