Almost game time..

A lot of words have been shared between fan bases, but everyone knows what the deal is here. Huntingdon is rebuilding. Waverly is gearing up for a run to state. On paper this game shouldn't be close. 

Huntingdon did some things good last week in the loss to Mckenzie. They also had some moments they looked lost. They attempted more passes than they did in Hunter Ensleys entire career, it seemed. Throws a wrinkle into the offense we haven't had in the past, but needs A LOT of practice. Too many balls on the ground and the QB running for his life early and often. Also GIVE RIVERS THE BALL. He showed some flashes and will end up being a spark for this team all year. 

The defense made some impressive plays. But also had some mental lapses. Mckenzie killed it running to the left side every other play. 

The line on both sides of the ball was a glaring weakness for huntingdon last week. If they have shored that up some with an extra week of practice, this game will be closer than a lot of folks think. 

I expect Waverly to win this game, to be honest. Probably a score like 35-20. Again, if huntingdon has made some key adjustments from learnings against Mckenzie, this could be closer. 

It is weird seeing Huntingdon as the underdog, but that is exactly what they will be in all of these non-region games. What I hope for is to see these young guys improve each week. They should still win the region fairly easily. If they can pick up a win or two in the non-region schedule, it could build some confidence and momentum for the playoffs..

    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
    • Maybe OR will be, but Farragut, nah, I don’t think anybody realizes how much of a bad situation that program is in currently. I’m sure they will build out of it, but the next 3 to 4 years are going to be a long climb up.
    • Thats one of the problems of having an 8-team region. A team could make it in any other region, but the numbers work against them in this one.
