kwc Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) I don't have an affinity towards it either, however, Hendersonville runs it very well. Who has the better OL/DL? May be the difference.I'm in agreement with you. I'm not a fan of it either. It's been my experience that the teams that make it this far in the playoffs in the larger classifications usually have pretty strong OL/DL's. Two contrasting offensive philosophies on display in this one. Two stout defenses. It will probably be more in line with T/O's and special teams.

kwc Posted November 26, 2013 Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 White Station's run defense is pretty stout. What's Hendersonville's pass defense like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealTruth Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 White Station's run defense is pretty stout. What's Hendersonville's pass defense like? There will be opportunities. Gallatin was 11-19 161 yards 1 TD 1 INT. Not sure how others faired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwc Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 There will be opportunities. Gallatin was 11-19 161 yards 1 TD 1 INT. Not sure how others faired.

warhawks Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Best wishes to both these fine teams! Congrats on making it to the semifinals! May it be an injury free and great game! By the way I am not a fan of the wing t myself! To much side ways before going north and south! Can be tough to stop if you have not seen it a lot!

Haven04 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Agreed. There aren't any Memphis city teams that run the Wing-T. It's not an offense that the coaches around here particulalry have an affinity towards. Well that goes to show you how much of it I've seen in Shelby County...zero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mondo44 Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I don't put much stock in what offense anybody runs. It will be about blocking and tackling Friday night. What is it they say " not about X and O's but the Jimmy's and the Joes. Hville knows they will have to play their best game of the year to win. White Station has played an extremely tough schedule with South Panola MS, Oakland, Whitehaven twice, Christian Brothers and East. 1 common opponent, Arlington. WS beat them 33-14 while Hville won 49-31. I believe having the former Notre Dame off coordinator Cordelli on your staff has really assisted in Wilson's development at QB as he has had an outstanding year and they run a very diverse offense. Kind of reminds you of Arlington with about 10 times more speed and a much better D. Big challenge for the Commandos but nobody said it would be easy. Looking forward to a great atmosphere at Paul Decker Field at Memorial Stadium as we welcome our guests from Memphis. Spartan fans, safe travels to all of you, GO COMMANDOS!

BlackHavenSenator Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well I guess I'll make my prediction... White Station by 6... Wing T offenses usually have a problem coming back. If White Station is able they should attempt to do the Commandos like Whitehaven did Mt. Juliet 2 seasons ago... Use the athleticism EARLY to get up 2 scores and force them to PASS the ball to get back in the game. Hope there's not too much homecooking in Hendersonville Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eers Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Ok, I'll be the one who is stereotypical, having not seen WS... I will go with Hendersonvile, based on being better coached and more disciplined. I'm sure that will get some Memphis people in an uproar, but from what I've seen in the past Memphis teams are very athletic, but not nearly as disciplined as 9AAA teams. Based on that assumption, I will go with HHS by at least 10 in a game that they move the ball at will. WS will have a solid first half, but hatfield and company will make the necessary adjustments and shut the WS offense down in the second half.
