Catholic vs Beech

[ChardeeMacdennis]

Undefeated vs very talented and very big. How do you see this one playing out? i have seen very little of Beech. What kind of Offense do they run?

and if someone could delete one of these threads. Not sure how to long time listener first time caller sort of thing.

Watched Beech on film tonight. OL looks big and physical. Looks like they come off the ball good. Not sure their as big or as athletic as Catholics DL and LB. But this group on both sides of the ball will be key to this game. Whoever wins this battle has a great chance to win State. I really like the RB at Beech. Not real big, but the kid runs low, hard and behind his pads great. If they can get this RB going, it may give  Catholic a problem. They don't throw it much on film, but when they did it wasn't very impressive. Beech on D seem to be small up front. But They come off the ball good and play with a high motor on every play. LB core seem to get to the ball fast. DB's will probably have their hands full all night with Catholics WR.  The teams I've watched Beech play on film don't seem to be no where near as big, physical, and athletic as Catholic. So IMO Beech probably hasn't seen or played against a team comparable to what they'll see Thursday. Catholics OL should win the battle up front against Beech DL. Catholics RB's should have a great night. If that doesn't work. Catholics WR core and athletic QB will be too much for Beech IMO. Catholic should be able to score as much as they want. The key too the game will be can Catholics D stop the running attack of Beech. Good luck to both teams. But it's Go Irish Thursday. #greenNgold #RingChasing

I haven't seen Beech, but the school won the gold ball a few years ago so I guess the program is on solid ground. This is somewhat of an educated guess, but when it comes to public vs. Private I'll guess private everytime. It's just the odds. Eaglesfan00 I would agree that Beech has not seen a team with the size, as physical and athelic as the one they will see Thursday. My guess....... Catholic.

Your scouting report may be spot on. Question: is KC the best private school team in East TN?

Good question. Notre Dame is having a very good year.

They also have a 42-21 Loss against Baylor the week before Catholic waxed Baylor 56-24.  I would say its either Catholic or McCallie

I will say this about Beech.  If you aren't up by 17 to start the 4th, Beech can/will come back on you.  Expect them to always go for it on 4th down.  Even if they are in punt formation.  They may not be as big or talented as KC but I promise you, you will get everything they have and then some.  They WON'T QUIT until the game is over.  I'll be watching on TV Thursday night.  Good luck to both teams.

What time is the game ?Playing on Thursday makes no sense. If anything D2 should coming  off a bye week. Short week the week of the State Championship? Doesn't seem like the health of the athletes is a concern.

I’m so out of the loop I didn’t even know that Catholic played Baylor. Interesting.

Yes, Catholic played Baylor, Brentwood Academy and another private, but I'm not familiar with them.

I think that KC will take this one by at least 2 td's. beech is a solid team but KC is just so much bigger and more athletic. I think Beech will have issues on jet sweeps and long passes when KC is on offense. With that being said Beech wont roll over in this one. 

KC- 38

Beech- 21
