I've selected 18 games for the inaugural 2016 Big Games in Memphis activity. Those of you who participate know how we do this. Be careful because there are Thursday night games, as well as, Friday and Saturday night games. Don't miss out and start your season off on a wrong note. The first half of the season is critical in being a top performer. If you get behind in the beginning, it is hard to catch up. As is our custom, these games involve schools that are in the Memphis area, be it private or public school. With that being said the following are the games that have been selected to be in the first week of BGIM for 2016:

 

Games being played on Thursday, August 18, 2016:

 

Game 1: KIPP vs Memphis Overton @ Melrose

 

Games being played on Friday, August 19, 2016:

 

Game 2: Kirby @ Arlington

Game 3: White Station @ CBHS

Game 4: Millington @ Bolton

Game 5: Briarcrest @ ECS

Game 6: MAHS @ Brighton

Game 7: St. Benedict @ Collierville

Game 8: East @ Cordova

Game 9: Humbolt vs Fairley @ J.P. Freeman

Game 10: Lausanne @ Germantown

Game 11: Ridgeway @ Houston

Game 12: Manassas @ Center Hill (MS)

Game 13: Pope John Paul II @ Melrose

Game 14: MUS @ Central (Crump Stadium)

Game 15: Munford @ Covington

Game 16: Raleigh Egypt @ Lewisburg (MS)

 

Games played on Saturday, August 20, 2016:

 

Game 17: Mitchell @ Whitehaven ... @ 8:00 PM (Whitehaven Classic)

Game 18: KIPP vs Trezevant @ Crump ... @ 7:30 PM (North Memphis Classic)

 

 

Yes ... again, KIPP plays back to back games in one week end just like they did last year. So, this Saturday night we will have the Kansas State dual-threat QB commit, Dwayne Betts with 1A - KIPP (coached by Tim Thompson) playing against the Clemson RB commit, Cordarian Richardson with 2A - Trezevant (coached by Telli White). Man ... that's going to be a good one.

 

Ah ... so many choices ...  :rolleyes:

 

Just for your edification ... Saturday, August 20, 2016

 

Whitehaven Classic games @ Whitehaven Memorial Stadium

 

Game 1: Hamilton vs Hillcrest @ 3:00 PM

Game 2: Southwind vs Westwood @ 5:00 PM

Game 3: Mitchell vs Whitehaven @ 8:00 PM

 

North Memphis Classic games @ Crump Stadium

 

Game 1: BTW vs Kingsbury @ 3:30 PM 

Game 2: Douglas vs Craigmont @ 5:30 PM

Game 3: Trezevant vs KIPP @ 7:30 PM

It's gotta be hard to try to prepare for two teams in the same week.

 

Well, if you take into account that this is the opening week in games ... there is no game film or pre-scouting done. Even if the opponent for Saturday's game goes and watches the Thursday game ... That does not give the opposing team enough time to prepare. You just work on your stuff the week long until it is game time. Since it is at the beginning of the season, you are usually pretty healthy to start off the season. Take into account the players are 13-18 year old, depending upon how their birthday lands during the school year ... there isn't going to be that fatigue factor that would affect older people. Especially with this happening at the beginning of the season. Then there is the "been there, done that" from last year where KIPP went 2-0 during this same stretch. So, then there is that.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.

      I'm from Cloudland and we've never played a sectional game.  We need to win tomorrow night to avoid that bus ride.  Us and north greene can play with you guys so I'm expecting good games whoever the matchup is.
