After watching the MBA BA game, it looked like MBA doesn't have any speed. Maybe BA is just a really fast team. I do think MBA is a well coached team, and considering the fact that MBA beat Ensworth, Ensworth beat BA, then BA put it on MBA, I wonder if they have lost some players to injury this year. Ensworth didn't appear to have much speed either, they just made it a stop the run first kind of game and dared BA to throw the ball and it worked well for them. I would have to give Ensworth a slight razor thin edge. I'll bet it will be a great game to watch.

"Kissing Cousin" game should be a tight one with Ensworth pulling it out by 7.

Only because the "cannot beat a team twice in one season rule" is in effect. If that rule is thrown out, then the game is a toss up.

As much as it pains me, if i had to bet the pension, I'd have to go with the Unwashed as well. They were a good team when MBA just barely beat them, and they've gotten much better since then.

There's a lot of pressure on EHS again, especially after what happened last year. Will they tense up and start pressing if they struggle early? Will there be some "oh no, not again!" moments? MBA needs to get some points on the board early. Risk taking is in order here.

 

that said, this is a really good EHS team...more balanced than the last 2. The QB is really good, and they have a couple of nice WR's to go along with Elder. They also have a lot of speed on defense. Even so, I'd rather take my chances with this group than with the Darkwa/Jefferson team.

 

MBA has to execute at a high level in the passing game. Again, lining up and running off tackle isn't going to work this time around, even if it did last time.

Ensworth is much improved since the first game and should win by two touchdowns.

Good luck Ensworth.

The Ensworth team will have a different look this time against MBA. EHS without Richardson and the there has been a EHS QB change since the 1st game.

[RicFlare]

Ensworth wins by 7

[VandyHoosiers]

EHS wins this one easily unfortunately

 

the Rodriguez defense will have no answer for Elder...giving up big plays left and right like they have done to BA/MBA/Maplewood (really any team with dynamic play-makers) since the new DC took over in 2008

 

I predict Elder will finish with 250+ yards and 4-5 TD runs of at least 20 yards....wish we had a great coordinator
