Both teams are starting the year off good.big time rivarly game.I think the jackets will win a close one.21-14

[TigerNation14]

Rockwood will win it big. Averaging 43 points per game. Opponents are averaging only 7. Rockwood is pretty solid on both sides of the ball. IMO we are much better than the team we brought to Kingston last season. Multiple offensive weapons. There is also a revenge factor based on the game we gave away last season. Kingstons' student body hung a stuffed tiger from the goal post last season after the come from behind win. Most of our kids found that to be pretty tasteless and have not forgotten. Pictures are already circulating as a motivator. PREDICTION.......ROCKWOOD 41 KINGSTON 20

Let me break this down for you. YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR MIND. Rockwood may win but it's not going down like that. I know RW always has a solid team but you guys have yet to play a team that's any good this year so don't go on the averages of how bad you're out scoring people.

Should be a good game. Kingston has not really impressed me. Harriman out played them and won on Harriman mistakes. Struggled with a bad Cumberland County team and to pull away late. I say Rockwood wins this game

Civitan field will be packed! This game is what small town county rivals is all about nothing better. Won't make a pick this week just hope everyone stays healthy.

Kingston returns most of its team who beat rockwood last yr.experience wise Kingston is got the advantage there.neither team has played top level competition as well.I understand revenge factor.but I don't see any blowouts. It will be a hard fought game.I'm sticking with the jackets 21-14.

i saw the Harriman/Kingston game in week 1. Neither team really played all that well. I contribute that to some poor officiating and basic "1st game" mistakes. I understand that a good team will improve with each week. Cant speak for Kingston but ive seen all three Rockwood games. We have done just that. We are scoring with 4 or 5 different players each week. Cant just key on that one RB like people have done in the past. As crazy as you think i am, i will stick with my prediction. Sweetwater had 2 linemen over 300lbs (both D1 prospects) Our kids roughed those two up all night. Going into the game, everybody expected a cat fight. Score was 13-0 after our 3rd play on offense. We never looked back. 41-0 at halftime and played our younger kids the entire 2nd half. Anything goes in a rivalry game. Just for the record though.....Rockwood beat Rockwood last year. Should be a huge draw at the gate so come early if you want a seat. Best of luck to you guys and i pray that neither team has any injuries

Sweetwater has 2 D1 prospects?  I would hate to think that I had 2 D1 linemen and was 1-2.

[TigerNation14]

Rudy...Thats what our kids were told all week in preperation. One is 6ft 7in 325lbs and the other is 6ft 5in

305lbs. Big kids but really werent very mobile. Based on what i saw, size isnt always an advantage. Team speed is more valuable. No disrespect to Sweetwater. Those two looked good against Meigs(on film). They didnt do so well against us. I dont know. People have bad games.

The lineman is 6'6 and well over 300 BUT he has "potential" but is not great in any form.The one thing you cant coach is size thats what these D1 schools want alot of size and scholarships are renewed on a yrly basis.That makes it a hit and miss but you never know till you get them on the field.Just like the big kid from Harriman that went to KY never made a splash and then was dismissed from the team.The SW kid is big but nowhere near a GREAT lineman,these "camps" they go to ups there noticeability but there not going full pads one on one.GB played him last yr and he didnt do anything special just a big old boy.
