Centennial Cougars vs Independence Eagles

[CasualBystander]

Both teams are in need of a district win which will add more spice to an already hot game.

[HighLife]

I'll go with centennial to win this game..

Both teams have struggled to stop the run at times, so CHS is not physically dominating up front which is a good thing for IHS.

But CHS' run game also tends to take IHS' DBs out of the equation, unless Centennial is determined to get to the edge in which case it's athlete (Sanders) on athlete (Gaulden).

I'll take Centennial in this one. After seeing what Beech did to Indy, I don't think Indy has any hope of stopping Sanders.

Indy wins by 14

I think Centennial is one of the few teams who is athletic enough to handle IHS' explosive offense, and Rector's blitzes can keep the IHS QB off-balance.

 

The question is: Can the Eagles stop Sanders on the ground?

With all the talent ( 3 Div. 1 ) players ,how can Centennial be picked to win this game? It appears that talent alone is sometimes not enough.

I have some friends in Rutherford county who need to see this topic. 3 division 1 players and 3 losses. You would think that with this much talent they would be dominating opponents.

Cough, cough, running clock!

Indy 27

Centennial 21

 

Indy competed with Beech even though Beech control the LOS all night. Centennial does not have the line or back that Beech has. Sanders is good, and will have some success, but this game is going to come down to turnovers and special teams.

2 going to UT or Mizzou - one cornerback, other athlete ( said to be WR , punt returner other safety...) all 3 are studs when other teams try to pass on them and hence no team attempts to pass the ball ALSO fact the Indy D line is the size if a jr high team so they get mauled - Gaulden the safety I think is 3rd in state for tackles at safety - what does that tell you - would be different if you had 3 D1 kids at Qb, RB and WR...,

Did Vic Whorton (sp)  get popped just before the half? The game is on TV in Nashville.
