Round 2 - Lexington at North Side

[TheGreek]

Would be nice for a full house to be there.

Lexington will bring the town. That I can assure you.

In 2012, North Side always had a great crowd. We played 9 home games and filled up the home side in 7 of those games and had a few people leaning on the fences. Since 2012, the crowd has dimensioned a little year by year. Now, it's tough for NS (a school that has over 1,300 students) to fill up the stadium. However, if the weather is good on Friday, I do expect a sell out.

There are certain rivalries that are good for West TN football. This is one of them. Hopefully it'll stick for a while.

If NS has 1300 students they're playing in the wrong class

 

I thought they were just over 800

I am wrong. I just checked it off the internet. They were near 1,300 but then they lost some students. Now, they are around the 1,000 mark. Obviously they will be getting some more students if JCM closes.

To me it's 50/50...NS is the more talented team...but they can just as easily implode...the Indians ceiling is ridiculously high...but they rarely play well enough to reach it...they are the better team on paper

 

Lexington is physical...won't turn the ball over...won't be penalized into bad situations...run it down ur throat and then run it some more...it's beautiful, and very frustrating for an opponent

 

If both teams bring their A games, I take NS...any other version on said scenario and I take Lexington...NS B game vs lexington B game, taking Lexington...the Tigers can have a bad night and still win ball games...NS doesn't have that luxury...Indians D is fantastic, but that O cost them a quarterfinal birth last year...

 

Gona take NS 21-20...bc I want to believe both teams will play their best...at least I hope so...but I will congratulate either team upon the win and wish them the best next week against Hardin co

That's fair enough. I hope Lexington is fortunate enough to beat a good team twice in North Side. I know they are itching for a rematch against Hardin County. I'm not so sure Hardin County is going to get a win against Memphis east.I hope they do maybe it will quiet them boys in Memphis down. At first they were all riding ridgeway's coat tails all the way to Cookeville. They were giving Lexington no chance. Now that they are out of the picture everyone is jumping back on the east bandwagon. They give region seven no respect. They better recognize and come ready to play against Hardin or they will be running home with their tails tucked between their legs making excuses the whole way.

If Tyalen Shaw has a great game, North Side will win. The only thing that kind of scares me of picking the Indians is because NS doesn't have the receiving  core they always had. They still have some good receivers, but they are not as good as the previous years.

people better quit doubting lexington. this bunch is really good!

I was starting to think I was the only one drinking the koolaid. From what I've seen in the last month I honestly believe Lexington is the better team and should win this game. They are hitting their stride at the right time. I think they will be focused and ready. We will see Friday night if that's the case.

This game is a toss up.  Its athletes versus the grind.  North Side played horrible in their first meeting.  This young team is better now.  Will they be good enough?  I think they will win by two scores.  28-14 is my prediction.   NS defense is very good.  They hold them to 2 scores, they win.
