Copper Basin @ McMinn Central

I think the Cougars will rebound from a sloppy performance against Lookout Valley! Taking the win in this one! Opinions on this one?

Central can field a really good defense at times. I kinda think Central wins in a close one. Of you can pass though you have a chance.

We should be able to throw against them just fine.

Pretty sure you will need some passing to win it. Good luck!

I think Central is the sleeper team of our schedule. I could be wrong, but they're in the perfect situation to play the villain.

No 3A school wants to lose to a 1A and I expect they'll throw the kitchen sink at us.

As for the Valley game, we played horribly. I don't expect it means anything other than 2 weeks off is not good for a high school football team. A 3 score shutout is a 3 score shutout, but we easily could've and should've hanged 60 on them. It was a good opponent to work out the kinks we acquired over the break. 

Central has the athletes to be dangerous, but through administrative mismanagement and lack of experience winning, they aren't impressive. I'll take the Cougs in Englewood in another game that will be closer than it should be, and look forward to playing our first real opponent on October 23rd in what will hopefully be Cougar fashion by then.

I'll be completely honest, I believe Central has it in them to win it by 3-4 tds. When we played them they sometimes showed great ability, but we had better athletes overall and got with it the 2nd half of our game. They have a bruiser type back or fullback that can sometimes hit you for alot of yardage. If you have a really good run defense it will be a good game. But you will still need to pass.

How is the Basin QB? Didn’t he get hurt against LV or was that another player ?

Like I’ve said before our backup would start on most other teams, he started some games when he was an 8th grader so starting at quarterback is not completely foreign to him! His dad and brother were two of the best qb’s in program history. I think if we can work out some kinks we should win this one!

I hope you do!

No offense but with the QB y’all win by a lot, without...it might just be a dog fight
