Southtowner Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 From that Hargis man himself: Rockwood (9-3) at Meigs County (12-0) » That was then: The first meeting was Sept. 15, when Meigs needed four third-quarter TDs to pull away for a 48-27 win. Rockwood led early and the game was tied at 14 at halftime, but Meigs opened the third quarter with three straight TD runs from sophomore quarterback Aaron Swafford and a TD pass from the Mr. Football finalist. Swafford accounted for 186 rushing and 143 passing yards and seven combined TDs that night as the Tigers outgained Rockwood 406-190 thanks to the decisive second-half onslaught. » This is now: Rockwood hasn't lost since the previous matchup with Meigs, having scored 36 or more points four times and allowing more than two scores just once in those last seven games. Rockwood is also a senior-dominated team that can certainly manage the clock and play keep-away with its wing-T offense, led by power runners Nate Brackett and Ryan McCain, both 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds. The biggest difference for Meigs now is the emergence of junior runner Martin Smith, who's closing in on 1,000 yards this season with around 500 of that coming in the last three games. That makes it all the more difficult to key on Swafford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockwoodTigerFan19 Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 I know everyone isn't giving Rockwood much of a chance, considering how well Meigs is playing, and who they have on their team, but I know Rockwood probably knows it, and I'm hoping they use it as some sort of fuel.

Yeti Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Rockwood will bring it I'm sure. Just hope Meigs is ready out the gate this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadof2 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Meigs QB is hurt. Hope the others guys step up. I believe they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhea Co. Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Sounds like Meigs defense will have to win it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSUBac2001 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 This is a really close game. MC's QB is hurt. RHS keeps making stupid penalties everytime they get something going. MC's D keeps stepping up - bend and don't break with a big stop each drive. It's painful listening to the radio broadcast of this game with MC fans doing their best Mississippi State Cowbell impression (or whatever noise maker they are using).

MSUBac2001 Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Big penalities on Rockwood on that 3rd down play. If Meigs capitalizes they could put this almost out of reach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
