The stats are facts, but the commentary is definitely opinion.  And unless his arms can reach from one sideline to the other, he'll be watching our backs scamper past him like every other defense we've faced.

Have you watched video on him dad? He does merit some game planning. He plays much bigger than he is and is pretty athletic. I've watched the CA GB game several times and seen all of their players. Silvey didnt play in that game but he has video that is pretty impresive. I'm gonna guess he could be their most effective player against us.

Congrats to NCS - you have a good team and I hope your kids enjoy your success. I have not read through all 68 pages of this thread, but I have read enough that it is clear that some (not all) of the NCS supporters are willing to provide misinformation about other schools (by name) in some misguided attempt to try to make NCS "look better".

 

First, JP2 doesn't have 100 athletes on the sidelines and unlimited linemen platooning in and out throughout the game. In reality, JP2 had about 54 kids that dressed for football this fall. NCS has about 57. By contrast, Ensworth had about 66, with 8 seniors (far less seniors than NCS according to one of the NCS posters). Most of the linemen, as well as the other players, on both JP2 and Ensworth play both ways. In fact, the Ensworth qb this year not only played on offense and defense, but often on special teams as well. In short, the NCS "excuse" on here that they have far less players than JP2 is false.

 

Second, and of more importance, your implication that Ensworth somehow uses these kids and spits them out after their athletic eligibility is used up is completely baseless. You should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such lies when you have no idea of what you are saying. In fact, Ensworth has a rigorous academic curriculum which is the same for all students. They have very high entry standards and try very hard to not admit students who may not be able to keep up academically. You would be surprised if you knew some of the athletes who applied to but were refused admission to Ensworth. There are a few kids (both athletes and not) who start at Ensworth and discover that they cannot or will not meet the academic requirements. These students leave Ensworth and go to a school that is a better match for their intellect and/or energy level. Contrary to the implication on another post in this thread, "Tiny" decided to leave Ensworth (for reasons which are none of our business) after playing only a couple of games his senior season - the team persevered and won their first State championship without him. He was not "used" and discarded by Ensworth.

 

Ensworth and NCS are dissimilar schools. Ensworth is a college prep school where every student who graduates is expected to matriculate at a college or university following their graduation. Recent graduates are now studying at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Johns Hopkins, etc. (this list is available on their web site). NCS, on the other hand, is set up to assist all kinds of students to successfully attend high school. The following is but one example of a "special program" from their web site:

 

 

"High school: Courses at the high school level are mandated by Tennessee state standards and college preparatory requirements, which inhibit the option for language arts and math skills. Students may be taught individually or grouped with a remediation to occur within the curriculum. Alternate courses are offered to students that may need a slower pace of instruction and/or modified curriculum. The alternate class may or may not meet college preparatory requirements. They may also affect type of diploma a student may earn. Course offerings include: English, Math, Spanish and Science. Alternate course offerings may change yearly based on the needs of the student body. For additional information refer to the​Four Year Academic Plan"

 

 

No mention is made as to whether the students enrolled in this program are eligible for athletics.

 

Neither type of school is inherently "better" than the other, but it is ludicrous for NCS posters to try to imply that their school is somehow superior to any other school.

 

This should be a good game - hope for a close contest with no injuries either way.

Awww sookie-sookie now, I guess this guy told you :popcorneater: Edited by crow

Only seen a few highlights.  He's very impressive.  We just need #56 and #35 hitting him in the gap and #12 and #22 will be long gone.
