Beech @ MtJuliet

[BKisler]

Very Profound tandem! I really like the last comment about "...with a plan that works, Beech may not win against a decent team." Well I am here to tell you, Henry County is more than just a decent team aaacav. Our defense is not what it was on last year's championship team, but we aren't too shabby either. Hurd is the best running back I have seen - and I've seen lots of them over the years. What's more is that the Beech o-line is pretty dang good and blocking for him well. They are a supurbly put together unit on offense. It is going to be extremely difficult for MJ (or anyone else for that matter) to slow him down enough to score more points. I may be wrong and get surprised, but I see Beech running the table with Hurd getting Mr. Football in AAA.

 

Turnovers will be a big key. Both offenses are too good and will take advantage of every mistake. Special teams will also play a big part. The Bears are ready for Mr. Hurd and the Bucs.

 

Looking forward to a great game ! GO BEARS !

I don't disagree with you. Henry County is probably a pretty good team. However, they did not stop Hurd. If a team can stop Hurd they can beat Beech. They have an okay passing game because they have Hurd. If a team can devise a defense to stop Hurd and force Beech to pass i don't see them as being all that strong. Just my opinion. Beech's defense was pushed around by Cookeville. The Cavs had four turnovers and some not so great play calling in the red zone that kept them out of the end zone.

Anyone else notice those 2 ifs in this post?

It will be a fun Friday night in the midstate. Beech vs. MJ and Riverdale vs. Siegel. If we had a bye, I'd probably venture over there to see this one.

 

Drewcephus put it nicely, Hurd is a beast, but Beech is not a one-man show. Their offensive line is very good. We penetrated their backfield maybe 2 or 3 times the entire game when they played us. Their QB threw for 2 touchdowns, and he sure didn't look like any sort of weak link. The defense looked a bit shaky, but our offense is very good.

 

I don't know anything about MJ other than they've been a top level 6A program as of late. I'll be tracking the score of this one as much as I can. Should be an excellent game.

[Red Rebels]

This sounds like a good one.

[PPFan]

MJ 31

Beech 28

This sounds like a good one.

 

Red Rebels ... I have to agree. If I didn't have a dog in the fight here in Memphis ... this is a game I would LOVE to see. This appears to be road-trip worthy.

Forget who wins give me the over/under of this game

[WILDCATSMAN]

Boy this is gonna be one heck of a game to see.I would be there if I didnt have to see my Wildcats take care of these ole Devils.Two good teams,I think if MJ has figured out a way to stop Hurd that they can win it but thats going to be a big what if.Best of Luck to both teams,may the best team win.

Going with Beech

[SCBisondad]

beech should win by 21. the rest of there team is very underrated. oline/d-line is incredibile

Now thats funny!

[SCBisondad]

I want to change my prediction... I am going to say Beech 49 mt juiet 27

You forgot to add the 2nd half points for MJ. No way Beech holds the BEARS offense to 27.
