Forrest at Watertown

[Playerscoach]

C'mon now, I"m sure the coaches would like to have the play right before half back so that they could have punched it in instead of settling for a FG. Not to mention Forrest would have scored on their first possession if not for the fumble (since we're talking about rain). Take away the kickoff return (which was very uncharacteristic of this team) and it's a blowout. From where I was sitting, Forrest played bad, yet kept control of the game, and still won by two scores. To Watertown's credit, they came out fighting, but were clearly outmatched.

No doubt Forrest is the better team but Watertown was way underestimated. Thst was my point.

 

Congrats to Forrest!

Didn't expect Watertown's physical play in the 1st half. Unfortunately for them the game is 4 Q

Wow, where to start (random order):

- Watertown came to PLAY. #5 is one of the fiercest backs you will see. Watertown played physical on both sides. Their fans coaches and players should all be proud of their effort. I was impressed.

- They ran out of gas in the second half. It seemed like all the bounces went Watertown's way in the 1st (I am giving Watertown credit, they MADE their breaks), and it was still only 14-10 Watertown at half. They needed a bigger cushion.

- Forrest came out flat. Not unprepared, just not 100% either. Not sure why. Long bus ride seems too easy of an excuse. They def started slow.

- Beautiful facilities all around at Watertown.

- Forrest truly imposed their will in the second. Watertown makes a good play and #18 returns the opening kickoff for a score. At that point it was 20-10 Watertown. Forrest controlled most of the game after that..EXCEPT..

Watertown's #11 is also a talented player. They had several good players. He made plays with his arm and legs several times to keep drives going. Watertown fans, treat that kid well, you have him for less than 2 more years. He's a gamer.

Watertown went away from #5 in the second. You can't give one kid the ball 80 times a game I suppose. It def limited their range and our D line started gittin after it in the 2nd half. Watertown had another kid, dreads out the back of his helmet. #3 maybe? Also a good player. Fast. I would've used him more..

But that said, Watertown's coaches had their team READY to play.

Forrest brought a bunch of students and they did an amazing job. Best students on the planet.

The only way Watertown gets blown out by Davidson or has a close game with Grundy is that #5 was hurt. They don't just depend on him, but he is a huge part of their deal. He has to be one of the best players in the state. Having said that....

Forrest had SEVERAL kids step up and have all time games in the 2nd half. They know who they are.

People getting on here talking trash about Region 3/Region 4, etc. Cmon man. Lemme tell you somethin about us. We aren't a private school. We don't recruit. We aren't an open enrollment situation where we can just cherry pick the best kids from Marshall Co. down the road. We are simply a tiny town that loves its team. We are well coached and all our kids are homegrown. The biggest loss (margin-wise) in recent memory was 26-7, 3 years ago at Adamsville to a team that went to the 2A final against Trousdale, and had Zak Neary one of the best players you will see at this level. We hung with them for a half and that was 3 years ago. If you think you can beat us by 5 TDs, bring it. We play HARD for 4 quarters and that's why we won Friday. Ask 4A Page if we p.

I don't think they were underestimated at all. They were exactly what I had been told by players and coaches that they were.

Great post. Respect. Forest has a great team very physical plays the game how it should be played. Edited October 5, 2015 by Tigerman1738

Bump for Watertown fans...

[TigerFan76]

Watertown looked solid on both sides of the ball against Smith county 27 - 0 and In the jamboree against Dekalb county 24 - 17 .

Looking forward to the season ! Best of luck to all the teams praying for a safe season for all !

[GeneralForrest]

both teams will have good offenses. whoever has improved enough on D by then will win. 24-17 in 2 quarters? was ANY d played? sounds like a typical watertown game
