5A - can anyone stop Indy ?


Recommended Posts

Centennial played a pretty tough out of conference schedule and won two of the three.  They beat  6A Franklin (7-3), gave 9-1 Ravenwood (6-A) their only loss and took it on the chin from undefeated Independence.

Good schedule and season for Centennial. The Henry County win is impressive.

That could develop into a good rivalry.

If Maryville would have stayed in 5A instead of opting up to play with the big boys in 6A they might have met Centennial in Cookeville. The winner could then schedule Notre Dame or Alabama or some other "out of state powerhouse".

I think they should start with Vandy.  On a neutral field, Vegas might have Maryville as a slight favorite.

I knew the offense would score this year

But surprised how dominant they have been on both sides of the ball - The defense is just plain nasty and can anyone slow the Eagles down on offense ? The road will be tough with some very strong teams in their path .... Tough draw with Cane Ridge then looks like HHS round 2

 

It will be fun - good luck Indy........

 

Highlight was 49-6 win over CHS

 

42.1 - PPG

10.2 - PPA

 

In 5 of those games 2nd team started 2nd half ...

 

Opponents won 57 games ( only faced 3 teams with losing record )

 

Indy with backup QB beat Smyrna, Stewart's Creek and Lincoln Co etc....

 

Indy has produced 2004 yds rushing

 

Total yards game 454 average ....

 

WR Nate Johnson 17 receiving TD's

 

QB Bunch in only 5 games in which 3 he was pulled at halftime was a mind boggling

96 -140 - 1942 - 19 - 2 - 664%

and 14 -128 on the ground for 9.1 average

 

Starter since sophomore year has grasp of Blades offense and has close to 6,000 career yards passing .....

If you listen to my preseason show, I had them in Cookeville.  Nothing has happened to change that opinion.

Big boys

Would say 5a has better teams than 6a this year

And Centennial would have to get past Indy and last time they met some 8 weeks ago Indy beat them by 40 plus points ......

Of course you would say that....

Maybe Indy will play up to 6A next year, beat the not so big boys and then schedule an "out of state powerhouse".

It's valid point 5a is stronger then 6a this year

Indy unlike MHS does not hide - state champion runner up few year back they played Brentwood Acadamy & MBA ... Last few years - played Oakland home and home - Blackman home and home - year MHS beat Seigal at state Indy played Seigal ( all non district games )

Played home and home versus Beech during Jalen Hurd years another non district team....

Recall asked coach Gilligan " smitty " why MBA and BA his reply we want to play the best .........
