No offense, just filling in for RedWarrior.

OK now that it has been explained very witty.  well done.

WooHoo! Of course, we all knew it was a hot topic to begin with!!!

It is just nice to see Henry County nervous about playing Springfield!! Shame the series is probably ending, but I cannot say I will miss the drive down there. The people are great though.

[SEC1rules]

Who are the players to watch for Springfield?

Sounds like the conversations on this thread have taken a turn for the crapper. Wish this wasn't the last year of playing. It has definitely been entertaining this week.

Does Springfield have a passing game or just rely mostly on the running game?

 

Go Patriots!!!!

What kind of turnout is expected for the Springfield faithful?  Any chance there will be any seats available on the home side for those of us arriving late?

We expect a full house. The Gallatin game was as full on the home side as it has been in a few years. Probably be standing room only on the home side.

I will answer this and SECRules question here too. Springfield has an outstanding running game, but we haven't faced a D-line the caliber of HC's yet. The players to watch are QB #13 Timmie Barbee, and RBs #35 Isiah Bigbee and #42 Alan Gardner. Barbee and Bigbee are seniors, and Gardner is a sophomore.

 

The passing game is above average. Barbee can sling it, and he throws to multiple receivers who can all catch. The Jackets run a two QB system, usually switching after first downs. Everything is out of the shotgun. The other QB can throw it just as good as Barbee, but isn't as quick running.

 

I look forward to how our D-line can handle the Pats running game. We have improved every game and shut White House down, who has a similar running to HC though probably not as many athletes.

 

Hope this helps, and I do not think I am telling anything the HC coaches haven't already seen on film, 😃.

Funny you should say that.

 

We are using drones now to scout our opponents.  We have 2.  One looks like a hummingbird and the other a horsefly.  Both run on diesel.  The horsefly one is in the shop . . . someone from Ridgeway messed it up.

We usually watch the tobacco smoke up here. If it lingers long, the team has a good grind it out running game; if it goes away quickly, they have a great passing game. In all seriousness though, with the Huddle app/program everyone uses now, swapping film is only a few mouse clicks away. No more driving to meet and swap film.
