tonym3143 Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 Any thoughts on this game? No doubt Bolivar can score but I know nothing about RE other than Covington found a way to hold them to 9 points and still lose the game.

No doubt Bolivar can score but I know nothing about RE other than Covington found a way to hold them to 9 points and still lose the game. They are 6-0 on the season. This is the best season they have had in a long while. They are in the 2nd year of being under HC Major Wright, who turned White Station into a perennial contender years ago. He left White Station to coach at Briarcrest, but things didn't go so well. Now he's back coaching in Division 1, which I think is better suited for him.

BIGPURPLEMACHINE Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 In Milans first rd playoff match up with Bolivar last year I was really impressed. I had not seen bolivar in several years and had a preconceived notion about what they would bring to the table. Man was I wrong. Definitely have that program going in the right direction. Apparently RE does too. Hats off to both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haven04 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 They are 6-0 on the season. This is the best season they have had in a long while.

I remember Coach Wright being a really good coach at WS back in my day. I know to stop picking against them in BGIM now. Good to see that program improve, I'll keep my eye on them and hoping they make some noise in 3a this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of offense does Bolivar run and who are some of their playmakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym3143 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) They will bring a balanced attack and have probably 8 playmakers...very athletic team. We have a 6'6" junior receiver that hasn't played yet this year. Could pose more problems for defenses when he returns We will put points on the board...question will be...can RE outscore us. Boliver does have consistent weaknesses and I expect RE to try to exploit them...it will definitely be interesting.

All I have is what I have access to through media and the internet. I have, however, been keeping an eye on them from afar after I learned that Major Wright was taking over the program last year as their HC. I remember him building a program at White Station when nobody thought that was possible, just because White Station had always been a doormat type team. That school is still continuing to be a solid football program even to this day, many years after he has gone. I can however supply you with a few links that I think will be of some benefit. Shelby Metro Sports Blogspot Website The first link is to the entire website that tracks and keeps up with all football related facts and figures and schedules and whatnot for any team in Shelby County or in the Metro area surrounding Shelby County. Updated Individual Stats through 9-25-16 The second link has individual stats which reveal what their RB, QB, WRs, and top rated DB on the team have done up until the 25th. Updated Team Stata through 9-25-16 The third link has team stats which reveal how the team has performed in comparison to the rest of the teams in Shelby County and the surrounding areas. The Individual Stats and the Team Stats will be updated Thursday to reflect last weeks game into the total overall database. That website is pretty awesome if you ask me. I hope that give you an idea of who RE is. Edited September 26, 2016 by kwc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonym3143 Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks kwc...nice website, I didn't know it existed. Too bad they only go as far this way as Somerville. I definitely keep an eye on that site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhstennis Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 winner of this game gets the 1 seed in the playoffs and hosts the quarterfinals...which is a joke when you consider the caliber of teams both of these squads have beaten...pop warner football here... but i will say this...it is nice to see bolivar turn things around...and im even happy for RE...they will continue to grow and actually be a force in football...just not this year...

tonym3143 Posted September 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 It is what it is dhs. The schools can't control their regional opponents. That's hs sports for you. You get the same jokes every year with middle and east Tennessee in basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
