Stats

  • Forrest, 184 rushing, 47 passing, 231 total offense. Burchell rushes for 44, Kirby for 41, Swift for 38
  • Eagleville, 42 rushing, 122 passing (70 on 1 play). 
  • Good methodical victory. Burchell, Kirby, Hill, Follis, Swift, McClendon, had solid games.  Whittaker had a good 2nd half. Kicking game was solid. Minus the one big play, Forrest plays well defensively. The other long pass busted play def needs to be looked at 
  • Kirby says "Finish, Finish, Finish" was the theme all week in postgame interview.

I listened to part of the second half. What I did catch just sounded  like sloppy football to me. I mean, if you take the 20 yard safety off of the Eagleville rushing totals, that number does look a little better. If either team wants to challenge Summertown or Lewis, they goign to have to get alot better. I think Loretto might even be better at this point. Good win for Forrest, though. Get a leg up on that top 4 finish for a playoff spot

Slow down. I think Forrest will lose to Lewis. They might lose to Moore and Summertown too, but at least those are home games. At Loretto and at Lawrence aren't gimmes by any stretch, but Forrest is better than Loretto and at least as good as Lawrence. Forrest had zero turnovers and fewer penalties than the Portland game. Forrest could make a case that they should be 3-0 as they dominated Portland for a half. 

Doesn't matter now tho.  Onto Moore.

Rockets pick up an ugly win and go to 1-0 in Region. Field was sloppy and footing gave Eagleville problems. 4 sophomore backs came up with the big plays.  We’re not super talented but play well together. Questionable offensive calls from Eagleville all game long. Seemed like a QB run on every 3rd and long. None of them worked. We are susceptible to the pass. 3 straight games we’ve given up an 80 yard TD pass. Open receivers running deep all season long. Fortunately they didn’t try too many. Eagleville’ s best player is still hurt. He played the whole game on defense but doesn’t look like he’s 50%.

Im not buying better than Loretto or as good as Lawrence. If you stack the box and stop the run, Forrest isnt going to beat anyone with the pass. Lawrence will beat them worse than they beat Loretto. Book it. 

Lawrence isn’t a gimme this year. Their QB got hurt last year in the game before us. He’s a player!  That’s the exact defense Portland played and it shut us down. And the exact scheme Riverside used. You would think we could scheme some plays for a 10 man box. 

We have one of the best QBs in the state and some very good Young skill Players. We have an inexperienced and small offensive line. We should be spreading folks out and throwing it around but we’re content to run Inside twice and then here comes the boot on 3rd and long. We also have a very good receiver who plays about one out of three offensive plays because we run the plays in with WRs.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
