Union City Golden Tornadoes 2016

[Archiewho]

This district is always a dogfight every year, and if it's like last year predicting the big three's (UC, Trenton, Dresden) games outcomes and end finishes is a toss up. One thing is for sure, with UC's style offense they will always be competitive.

[ysoangry]

Yso I also would like to see a " competitive" game between UC and Dresden. Lol

Lion storm is coming this year!!!! lol

[BigSwo]

No doubt in my mind about that. Dresden will be loaded. Good luck. Except for that one week.

Okay this should generate some debate. It's way early but here's how I see 7A shaking out come the end of October.

#1,#2

Union City and Dresden. This one is a toss up. Our Tornadoes have some big question marks on defense, but the O will do what it does. The Lions will have to address their front five and find a kicker. Region 7A champ is the winner of this match up.

#3

Peabody. They lost a lot of guys to graduation, but they have a "Program" and will recover very quickly. With UC moving to 2A in 2017 and the Lions losing several to graduation, the Tide will take over #1 spot in 2017.

#4

Lake County. Yes, you read that right. This will be the big surprise of the region. Speed, speed and more speed. They are due a big upswing in success and it starts this fall. They will be a contender for the Region Champs in a few years.

#5

South Fulton. It will be normal old business for the Red Devils. Some old issues are rearing their ugly heads.

#6

Humboldt. I hate to see such a tradition rich program slip into the abyss, that's where they are headed. They always have athletes, but lack discipline.

#7

West Carroll. They are the box of chocolates of the region. Never know what your going to get.

#8

Greenfield. Struggle, struggle, struggle.

#9

Gleason. No numbers but big on heart.

 

Opinions?

[BigSwo]

No debate here. I think you nailed it

[ysoangry]

I agree also. This Lion team has more talent than any team in history (IMO). I just hope they will put in the work and be willing to not give up when they get smacked around. After this year we will struggle for a few years, maybe more. Several good middle school players opting to not play HS ball. Not sure the reasoning but it is worrisome.

Box of chocolates analogy just summed up WCs football history

What are the old problems rearing their head for South Fulton that was brought up. Are they having problems?

Their direction changes with the wind and has for decades.
