Creekwood @ Hardin Co

[Tigersandcats]

After giving up 45pts to McNairy in the first game of the season Hardin County has been lights out on Defense only giving up 6.3 pts per game in the last 10 games. Offense has struggled at times. Got two good rb’s great QB and solid receivers. Wolfe not playing is scary. But I think the Tigers get the win. The best football atmosphere in west Tn.  That I’ve seen anyway!

I’m assuming the Bumpus player for Hardin is related to Latrell that plays for Tennessee, probably his brother? I saw Latrell play in the Dixie Youth State Ozone tournament in 2012 when we hosted it in Springfield.  It was scary how hard he could hit and throw a baseball.

I was leaning HC but with that TE out I am not so sure, CW is a tough team to beat even at full strength, either way I expect this to be a good game...

[Tigersandcats]

No they are not brothers but probably kin I’m sure. But yes Latrell was a really good baseball player as well. Watched him play baseball and football at HC. All around great athlete.  Wish he could get on the field a little more at UT.

Wolfe definitely gonna be missed in this game. Big third down target and one of the best blockers you will see.  But yes will be a good game. Probably close game as well. I just think HC gets it done at home.

You are exactly right. Nothing will come easy from here on. Best time of the year to be a High school football fan.

Hardin County’s appeal of Wolfe’s suspension was denied Monday by the TSSAA. He is out for the Creekwood game.

They are a senior heavy team and some speed. They have a WR about the size of Wolfe that’s they didn’t use a lot against Springfield. They will throw it up to him when they get around the 10 yard line. Stansberry, number 11 I believe, is an excellent RB. I think they wouldn’t be a good come from behind team. They are a fundamentally sound team.

Like Jacketlover said, Creekwood’s main strength on O is the ground game. #11 is a very good, hard running, RB that doesn’t usually go down after first contact. He’s got a motor that doesn’t quit. Their passing game is decent if the QB has time. If you pressure him he will make poor decisions, Springfield picked him off 3 times and probably sacked him 4-5 times. Their D is solid. They defend against the run well and contain the edge decent.  Springfield only passed on them 3-4 times and got picked one of those, so I didn’t get to see much of that side. This game may very well come down to a special teams play, one way or another.

Thanks good info. Sounds like a good matchup between two solid teams. HC has been penalized way to much lately sounds like they better clean that up. Sounds like there is no room for error in this game.
