Playoff Game 1: Tennessee High @ Anderson County

[TomJoad]

Couldn't wait on M4L to start it. One THS fan has said on another thread that they are mostly run with a stable of good backs. Looking forward to M4L's historical and statistical analyses!

Anderson County 37-21

I know there are some THS fans on here.

Will be a good game. I know many will pick AC but I believe if we play 100% we can win.

We can't afford to take any opponent for granted. I love how we played against OR and if we bring that game then I'll be happy. Otherwise, ....

THS, 

 

If you can't pass, you won't win.  AC's backers are very good against the run.

I'm going with the boys across the river 28-14

Tennessee High is coached by second year head coach Mike May who has a regular season record of 13-7 and a post season record of 0-1 as TH head Coach giving him an overall record of 13-8 (62%).  Anderson County is coached by 6^th year Head Coach Davey Gillum who has a regular season record of 42-18 and a post season record of 6-5 as AC’s head coach giving him an overall record of 48-23 (68%).  Both Coaches have taken their teams to the Post season in each of their seasons as head coach with AC seeing the quarterfinals 3 of the last 5 seasons and TH visiting the 1^st round last season.  AC returns the states leading rusher in Matt Fox who has surpassed the 2,000 yard mark for the second consecutive season.  AC has been without their starting QB the last few weeks, but backup Garrett Johnson who is a tremendous runner showed the ability to be an effective passer as well this past week in the District loss to OR as he threw for over 100 yards and a score.  TH seems to be a mostly run offense but has a very good Dual QB in Christian Gibson who also plays return as well as Safety, at 6’1†175, he runs very good and is not at all afraid to lower his head and run someone over and he will come up and stick you on defense and looks to be a very smart player, reminds me a lot of our Garret Johnson who also boast the #2.  You can watch his highlights here:

All in all I think this one will be a dog fight, AC is coming off a streatch of losing 2 out of 3 games after starting out 7-0, but in that streatch we have played a very good Catholic team where we just looked horid and it was just a very bad night all around and an OR team which is probably the most overall talented 5A team on this side of the state who plays next to no one on both sides of the ball and has players getting big time D1 offers, that was a very good game and I think our team will benefit form playing that one and playing it close.  Our offense seemed like it is getting back on track with having a backup QB starting just his second game, if we can improve on some of the mistakes and not give up so much field position this week I think we can come away with the win.  If TH is as heavily run oriented as it looks than I think that plays huge for the Mavs Defense as we have showed we are very good against the run so long as our DB’s play smart and our offense does not shoot themselves in the foot with Fumbles and INT’s I think we take this one

Good job again M4L, especially on a team I know nothing about.

[SweetScience]

Show them how tough we play in Anderson County. Go Mavs.

[Seahawks2014]

Thanks SS ! Of course we are pulling for mighty Cats. These games

like Tennessee High can catch you sleeping and maybe the style

they play can be unorthodox so nether OR nor AC can not take for

granted. Here is where homework comes in handy. Go Cats and

Mavs !
