Tennessee High at David Crockett Round 2

[stockton4182]

Any thoughts and predictions on this game 2nd meeting in a month between them Crockett won first game 24-21 in overtime. Crockett had 3 fumbles in the first game shouldn’t been that close.

The old saying goes that it is hard to beat a really good team twice.   This is the dilemma Maryville faces against Oakland (Maryville won the regular season game and may well face Oakland again in the playoffs).     If you think Tenn High is a really good team then there's your answer, if not then Crockett should win again.

In 2009 the Vikings were ranked #1 in the state, in the 9th game of the season they beat us 51-26.  However in the 2nd round of the playoffs we returned the favor 23-14 and knocked the Vikings out of what might have been a trip to Cookeville.
In 2012 we defeated the Vikings 37-7 in the regular season.   The first game of the playoffs we faced them again.   Boone went into the game all cocky and looking forward to round 2, the Vikings bushwhacked us 28-7 and moved on to round 2.

Mental advantage goes to Tennessee High here, though I think DC is the more talented team.  Both are well coached.

THS's defense is pretty good and they defend the pass better than most NET teams.  They'll also run the ball and kill the clock to keep DC's offense off the field.

Meanwhile, DC's defense will come ready to play just like they have all season.  They'll be looking to jump out on THS early and make the "hog the ball" strategy a moot point.

This game will simply come down to which team makes the fewest mistakes.  I'd go with Tennessee High if I had to bet money, but not by much.  It'll be another tight one unless DC goes off early and jumps out to a quick 2+ score lead.

No mental advantage for Tennessee High they missed their field goal and Crockett made theirs

This should be a great game and a great atmosphere.    Good luck to both teams and whoever comes out with the W, don't let is stop there!  Keep moving forward and go get the W in the 3rd round next week.   There's a great opportunity to make history and bring more attention & respect to our area for NET football.  Get out an support your team and have a safe weekend.  DC 28 TH 27.

Love the pick. Going to be nasty tomorrow night with rain just hope Crockett can catch more balls then they did last week

We may go to this one. We went to a band festival there about 16 years ago, but don't remember much about it. How is the parking and seating situation?

Plenty of parking stands fits a lot of people

Crockett leading 19-0 halftime

DC goes from barely winning in overtime in the regular season game to a 32-0 win in the playoff game. That's called coaching right there. Glad to see somebody this side of Greeneville has figured it out.

Tennessee High had only 92 yards of offense

Call bad coaching on ourside reminded me of 2016 again  with the play calling
