Sequatchie @ York Institute

[Indians1]

Who you got in this Week Zero matchup?

[ValleyBall]

After seeing the Jamboree and hearing about how the Indians played up at Coffee county for their scrimmage I was a little disappointed. I was hoping to see a little more out of some of their skill guys and that big line I hear about but wasnt a bad game. They kept it respectable against SP. York will be a tough matchup for the Indians and we will all get to see what kind of team they will have this year. My head is telling me York but I love valley football so ill say

 

Seq-28

York-20

Is there gonna be enough seats for all the Sequatchie faithful? Or is this gonna be one of those CCS deals where you need to bring your own chair?

Should be a great ball game friday night up on the mountain where the dragons will be ready to go... Not sure what to expect from this team this year. The last 2 years we have had a small senior class this years class is a bit bigger. hopefully they learned from all the bumps they took last year... There is plenty of seating we got new seating last year to replace the old stadium seating. Enjoy the trip !!

Sequatchie's line made the difference last year, wearing down York in the second half. That will be the concern this year, 3 of the boys for Sequatchie are gone, but the replacements are bigger. Really like the way Sequatchie played against S.Pitt, without the turnovers it may have ended in a tie.

^{Sequatchie had a good showing against South Pitt. during their quarter of play, and I feel they will get the "W"}

^{come Friday night against the Dragons. I think it will be a good game however.}

Here's to hoping the weather stays away!

[markymark761]

I hope the weather stays away too...as of this morning 60% chance of thunderstorms... with the highest chance at 7pm lets hope it stays away so these boys can play some football!! good luck to both teams this evening and may the best team win!!

I know the players and coaches are ready to play but there is just a 10 percent chance of rain all day tomorrow. The rain doesn't matter as much except for attendance and possibly quality of play due to turnovers and footing-but I'd hate for the players to bus out there and not get to play, or not start until 9 or 10 due to lightning.

York rumbled to a big 40-6 win here on the mountain this evening... they took advantage of some early miscues from the indians and didn't look back... good luck to the indians the rest of the season!! As for the Dragons couldn't have started any better boys!! Great job !!

York controlled the game up front on both sides, had over 200 yards of rushing the first half and led 26-6 by halftime. Their running backs had some long gains but the QB and his decision making made it look easy for them on many plays. Sequatchie had a lot of players on the field for their first significant varsity action, as most only played in mop-up time at the end of big wins. They will take a look at what they could have done better and give it another shot next week. Getting that first one played, even in a loss, will be a benefit I believe. Sequatchie moved the ball better than it might sound in just scoring 6 but York would come up with a big defensive play and end the drive except on one first quarter scoring run.

I must say, either York is really good this year or we are in for one more ride. No doubt losing all the graduates hurt us. We have a really young team, so I can't put much blame on anybody as it comes with the territory. I do wish we would throw it more as running it all the time becomes too predictable, but I've always said that. I still look forward to how this year progresses, as well as the next 2 years.

 

The reverse option for the touchdown was beautifully executed, but unfortunately, it was our only real highlight. York's speed looked to be superior to ours as #20 could fly down the field. I do love how he was home free until he fumbled the ball into the endzone at our 2 yard line. I'm still not sure how he did that. Something tells me he'll remember that fumble for the rest of his high school career.
