Haywood vs Crockett

My response is to several of the posts that have been made on this thread.

When you look at power ratings and score predictors Haywood does seem to be favored on paper.  I hate this cliche, but the game isn't played on paper, and there have been several recent developments (none that I care to mention) that could definitely influence the outcome.

Also, we can't ignore the fact that the Cavaliers are playing well, they are playing at home, and they, like the Tomcats, are hungry for the region championship.   

Now that ManOfMillions has let the "Cat" out of the bag, I do have to admit that at first Haywood's injury situation made me uneasy, but the Tomcats have plenty of talented players and I have faith that the Haywood coaches will have the Cats focused, prepared, and ready to play.  The Cats won't lie down and lick their wounds.  

I know Crockett will be ready to play as well.  So as I said in an earlier post, I expect it to be a close hard-fought game that could go either way.

Sorry if I let the "cat " out of the bag.... did not mean to. I read it on a local media website. I am all tomcats in the game. I have slight bad taste in my mouth for the cavs so I am all cats in this game. 

I know that yall have the talent on the sidelines to play with anyone in the state, but when you put a kid in a big region game with thousands of people watching it makes me uneasy... 

Also, I want to tell you how respectful, sportsman like the cats players, fans, and media were after our game. I hope your boys go to Cookeville and bring home some jewelry.

I apologize.  I wasn’t trying to make a negative statement, and I certainly didn’t mean to offend you. I was just making a friendly little joke with you since you were the first to mention Williamson’s injury in this thread.  His injury is definitely not a secret.  The Jackson Sun has written a whole article about it. 

I agree with you. It does make you uneasy when you have to switch players around and use players who haven’t had a lot of playing time, especially in a game as important as this one.  However, I’m counting on the Cats to make those adjustments.

Thanks for your compliments on the team’s sportsmanship.  I’m happy to hear that statement, and I think a lot of the credit for that should be given to Coach Smith and his crew.

 I had to watch the video stream of the HHS-SGC game since prior commitments kept me from traveling to Medina, but I’ve heard a lot of favorable comments about the respect and sportsmanship of the Hornet team and fans. As a side note, I watched both the Haywood stream and the South Gibson stream. My apologies to the Haywood video crew, but I have to say the South Gibson stream was much better!

Good luck going forward.

My question,

How will Haywood play with there best player out? The UT commit D. Williamson. I can tell you first hand that he is a stud. He made plays all over the field for Haywood when we played them. 

Also, I REALLY REALLY hate to hear that he got hurt. I talked to several folks from tomcat country that said he was a good kid and was a pleasure to be around. 

Will that cats rally around him and play hard or will they lay down and lick their wounds? 

I wish the young man a speedy recovery.

It’s next man up with these kids he and our starting Tailback are out for the season. #10 #12 and #15 as well as #3 and #30 will step up huge in the passing game

Thank you sir. 

 

I have a lot of fun doing it. That is why I do it. Certainly not doing for the money. I got the meet the Haywood Crew for the first time. They were very knowledgeable about the game and players. We work for the same company. 

Big game brewing in Crockett and Covington this Friday!

    • Did this happen? Does anyone know? Ripley has their HC job posted on the bulletin board over the weekend.
    • Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2. 
    • It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming. 
    • No movement on Chester? South Gibson? Gibson County?
    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
