Waverly at Lewis Co

[Jacketman89]

Lewis County played a 4-4 defense very successfully against Fairview and Zimmerman. It was pretty effective I thought. They cover well. Smith will tuck and run a lot Friday night. Probably going to make the trip to see this one on our bye week.

What's your prediction Jacketman89?

[Swarm]

This will be Waverly's toughest opponent thus far. I think the tiggers win by a couple touchdowns due to speed and athleticism though.

 

I'll dare say that Waverly will be "feeling" this one on Saturday though. Lewis County is very physical. As usual.

When smith is made to tuck and run.... he is VERY HARD to bring down. As its been evident the last 6 games... I will say the next 4 games our JV probably wont get to play almost the entire 2nd half as they have these first 6 games. It will be a better ballgame.... but waverlys still gonna be up to 7-0 after fridays matchup.... imo

Is it still gonna be considered an upset if Waverly does knock off powerhouse Sharp and company? Legimate question and not meant to ruffle any feathers....

Not in my eyes. I mean, you're talking about a 6-0 team vs a 3-3 team.

 

I think it has historical significance though. As far as I'm aware Waverly has never defeated Lewis County in football and to do so for the first time would be a particularly special achievement for Waverly. Savor the flavor and do it with dignity though. You can bet Lewis won't be down for very long.

That statement was made a few weeks ago and PapaTiger came out of hibernation and cleared that up. We beat them in the 80s I believe. PapaT was before you all from Fairview joined District 11. Nobody really doubted PapaT words of wisdom lol. Great man.

Well even with that said, defeating Lewis County in football is something to be proud of. Us in Fairview have had good success against Lewis for the last 5 or 6 years but before that they owned us for decades.

[Wavotiger10]

Lol they owned everybody for decades lol. Not quite sure why they have not won a title yet lol.

It's called being in the same class as privates for decades my friend and sometimes the best team don't always win

That dang Milan team to the west tends to ruin our parties quite often, too!

Camden played Goodpasture I think. I know it was a private school. Jeff Fishers' son was the back up QB for the team. Every single player was just about the same height. They all ran 6 ft 2 to 6ft 3 maybe and the lineman were massive at that height. They ran timing pass plays. You would have thought they were a college team. Their head coach and a couple of their assistants were former NFL players. Look at Milan. Dominated for years. Managed to win the Gold Ball some. I'm not sure how many but I know a couple. They get to the championship a lot though but don't win. Private schools will tell you they donr recrute. That's bull. West Tennessee and a lot of middle Tn. teams are all rural communities. They are basically running teams with the wing T being the prefered. They see very little of passing attack teams. If you don't see it then you don't learn to defend against it. How many teams in this district challenge the wide recievers or bump them at the line. The way to beat a passing team that throws timing playe is to bumt that reciever at the line. That throws off the timing play. You have to disrupt their rythem. Look at Lewis last year. The dominated till they hit the playoffs and had to play the private schools. If you want to win the Gold Ball, your Defense has to be awsome against the run and the pass. With that you can take a great running game and win. It all comes down to defense. That's why Seattle beat denver the way they did last year. Their defense dominated the Broncos.
