Springfield vs White House

White House must limit the big play potential of the Jackets!! SHS has some skilled players with potential to make plays in the open field. Like I said yesterday, both teams struggle up front, at least compared to last year,  so it may very well come down to who wins that battle as to who wins the game. WH has to be able to run the ball with Sharber to have a chance; they can't become one-dimensional. Springfield will be looking for payback after last year's upset loss. I am personally looking forward to seeing a game from the new stadium at SHS, it'll be my first time!! Go Blue Devils.

Now that we’ve all got to know each others stance on here, what’s some keys to the game from both sides? Strengths and weaknesses, areas of improvement? 

i think depth is springfields biggest weakness up front. I do believe we have had issues early with broken coverage but that seemed much better last game. Not sure on white house, have not seen them this year and they have not played anyone with a pulse yet so only time will tell.

White House's biggest advantage, in my opinion, is their passing game. Their QB, Nixon I believe, can throw it very well and has decent receivers. Springfield will need to limit their big plays in the passing game. I believe if the Jackets can do this and get some pressure on the QB I think they will be in good shape defensively. 

Springfield's biggest advantage is their team speed and overall athletic ability. I look for White House to take Johnson away if they can, so others will need to step up. They have done it in other games, so I think they will here too. I feel that if Springfield can run the football effectively and not turn it over, they should be ok. 

I feel the only way White House wins is if they can dominate the line of scrimmage on each side of the ball. The Devils are bigger up front that Springfield, but the Jackets have seen that pretty much all year so it's nothing new. Looking forward to an injury free game so neither side can fall back on that after the game.

I too think Springfield’s biggest weakness is in the trenches, with depth being the issue. The last couple of games some of the younger players got in the rotation, so hopefully that will rectify itself. The coverage issues seem to be better in the past game, but Springfield will have to be on there toes against White Houses WR and looks like there qb can sling it. I think Springfield will be ok stopping the run and I hope the offense keeps clicking like they have been. All in all should be a great game come Friday night

True. I believe SHS has been tested a lot more than WH.

This one would be fun to watch.  Good luck to both sides.   
Always play it like it's last one.  (sorry for the video....can't delete it.)

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year.
