Halls vs Karns

Whats the thoughts for this week on Halls and Karns?

[osunut2]

Halls is starting to find their stride offensively, but still doesn't have much of a defensive presence. That might not be a major issue in this game, however, since the Beavers don't have the most dynamic offense. Karns' defense is both talented and fundamentally sound, and I think that will be the difference in this game. I'll take Karns by a TD.

The Red Devils pour it on this week. They take the Beavers out to the pond and drown them by 14 pts. How might you ask, KJ is going to be calling the shots on offense and defense. Go you Devils Go!!!

Is this a positive thing devilsden? Calling both sides or not, he still lacks the knowledge of motivating his team instead of degrading them.

I know this post is for the game, but does anyone know what Jason Julian the great player from Halls in the 80's is doing now? Is he some kin to the current coach?

Jason is Kevin's younger brother. Jason lives in St. Louis and is in the ministry (not a Pastor, but works with a ministry group) there.

This could be the best game in the district this week! I say Halls by 7.

I say Karns wins 21-0...Karns defense is hungry and will overwhelm Halls offense.

From an observer with no dog in the hunt:

 

Halls offense has gotten better as the season has gone on. I wouldn't count on overwhelming it as you believe they will.

 

Plus, Karns' offense has a tendency to turn the ball over. Halls' offense is good enough to take advantage of short field opportunities.

 

I expect this to be a really good, and close, football game.

HA HA yea right....lol Its Oakridge and AC

Depends on how you define "best", Space. The OR/AC game is obviously a big rivalry game, but most would probably say that 6-0 Powell and 4-1 Hardin Valley might be the "feature" game of district play this week. After all, both are unbeaten in the district (Powell 4-0 and HVA 3-0), and the only two teams left who haven't lost in district play yet. That game is for the district lead.

 

I see all three of the games mentioned - Powell/HVA, Halls/Karns, and OR/AC being "best" type games, depending on how you define it and what interest you have in it.

 

And the 4th game - Central and Clinton - is an important game for those two teams, too. Somebody is going to get their first win of the season.

I'm with HTV. The "best" game this week is all a matter of opinion, but for Halls I think it's one of the most important. After beating a down Clinton team in week 1 Halls has yet to win a game, even though that's an improvement from last years 0-10 season it still should not be enough to satisfy the coaches and players.

 

I think that with the offense continuing to improve for the Red Devils, they could capitalize off of turnovers and even work their way around a maybe over aggressive Karns defense and that could be enough to pull out a W if the defense can hold it together.

 

But with both teams coming out hungry tonight, and both with subpar defenses, get ready for a barn burner...
