EAGLEVILLE @ FORREST

[GeneralForrest]

Eagleville is embarrassed and I believe better than the 41-0 loss to Cornersville shows. 

Forrest is better than the embarrassing, non-competitive loss to BGA. 

Two teams with something to prove who played a hard hitting game last year which was a 1 point OT result. 

- This is from the "duh" dept, but stop Cobb and you stop Eagleville's offense. If he is making plays with his arm and legs, Forrest will be in a dogfight. 

- Can Forrest bulldoze Eagleville's defense like they did Fayetteville's? I think Eagleville will be better in the trenches, but the Forrest at Fayetteville was the Forrest of 2-3 seasons ago. Smashing heads and running amok for 6+ yards a carry. 

Forrest's first home game. Rockets need a great fan turnout and their best game (again) in 2 years to win. 

I think the biggest danger for Forrest is a letdown. They were so dominant last week that it will be easy to think "we got this" 

They need to remember last year's loss and realize that a player like Cobb can beat you so many ways, Fayetteville had nothing like Cobb.    

i'm going with

Forrest-  31

Eagleville-  21

This will be a war.

This could be an interesting one.   The Forrest game last week was an eye opener.   After such a poor offensive showing week one, I didn't see that happening.    I also did not see Eagleville getting shut out last week.   I picked Cornersville, but though it would be close.    I truly don't know what to expect now.

Eagleville 31-24

[PeabodyPride]

These are 2 very talented teams that have drastically underperformed!This is a test of which program can put the ugly behind and have a intensity that neither team has shown! GL to both amd hopefully a injury free game!!!

I think Chapel Hill will play as well as they can. Hope they get a w

Lots of fluff there. 

Forrest rolls again this week. Eagleville loses big again on the road to a more physical Marshall County team.

I'm inclined to agree. They were close last year and Forrest last Fri, regardless opponent, really showed what people had been expecting from these kids who won championships at every level. Youth, and middle school. Now the bulk of them are juniors, with some talented seniors like 13 and 2 as well. .

It really does boggle the mind how good BGA was. And they crucified Nashville Christian last fri. Pun intended

A more physical Marshall county team yalls JV ain't to physical and Fayetteville is a young team wouldn't brag to much on that one

I will say the post another way -"For the second week in a row Eagleville loses to a team from Marshall County that is more physical than the Eagles.

Nothing was said to disparage the Bulldogs in that post. Eagleville was manhandled by Cornersville and Huntland went toe to toe for a half. Eagleville lost some very good seniors from the 2017 team and the 2018 team has not played well so far. 

I haven't bragged a minute on the Fayetteville victory. The game turned out how I expected. After this week the remainder of the bulldog schedule will feature opponents like that. 

Congrats on the hard fought JV win, I've seen two CHS posts on the subject on a statewide website about that game. it must have been a dandy. Hopefully, you have some momentum going into next week's JV game.
