I would go with Huntingdon or union city before them 

Really hard to predict those matchups,UC and Stang's aren't the best pass D traditionally

Agreed about the offensive line. However, with Jarod Neal getting a full offseason with the team, that is probably not going to have as much Covid restrictions (hopefully with this vaccine), I do expect this team to make a pretty big step in 2A. Remember, they had SGC to the ropes in the playoffs.

I could see Westview in the hunt without a doubt! It’s like pride said Huntingdon has trouble with defending the pass at times and I don’t see UC making much noise.

Mustangs are my preseason pick to win the west.

Does Westview RB return next year?

Doesn’t matter if the qb can’t get the ball off. The games i watched he was running for his life every play

He is a good runner also

Look at it this way, even with the o line problems they still beat a 2A Semifinal team by 8 and a 1A Semifinal team by 40.

True, we play them this upcoming year and Huntingdon so we will know more of which of them two is the better. Idk what UC brings back, but if WV can make the right moves and give Simpson time they will be my pick to represent the west. Huntingdon will be better so it’s too early to really tell

They did in fact have westview on the ropes in the playoffs. However you have to dig a little deeper to get the full story. SG was without 6 starters due to Covid and contact tracing. Westview could have been down some personnel as well but I don’t know about any. Nevertheless I do agree they will make some noise in 2A next year.

If I’m his dad he would have transferred long ago. 

Because being able to choose which one of the 10 top football programs in the country he wants to play at just isn't good enough? I bet his options would really open up if he played for the coveted gold ball at Alcoa or Trenton. Should they just ship him off to IMG or some other place and watch his games on TV and miss out on actually getting to see him grow up? It may be hard to get community support for UTM football if the coach sent his kid to another school around Martin. Maybe the parents quit their jobs and uproot the rest of the family for high school football trophies?

How many times has he been sacked over the last couple years ?  What game footage do the scouts have to look at besides him running for his life ?  I guess my main concern would be him getting hurt. You can’t play college ball if your knee is blowed out or shoulder from getting hammered every time you touch the ball.
