reddyrebel6 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) The Haywood Tomcats (4-0) entertain Melrose (2-2) out of Memphis. Melrose has a couple stud running backs led by Tank Briggs and a decent offense. Their secondary play is also really good. Their line play is suspect and special teams play also an issue. They also play a lot of guys both ways. Haywood should have the advantage. What say you?

Kruger77 Posted September 19, 2021 Report Share Posted September 19, 2021 Haywood should have the advantage, this game will be won up front where we are heavily favored. I expect melrose to be fast, I’m not hugely sold on them even tho it was a jamboree they beat Cordova 12-6.. win against Fayette Ware was nice though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys and Hardin Co. are having to carry the banner for all of West Tennessee. BTW, when Covington has played Melrose lately, we found that they are not the powerhouse Melrose football team that they once were. They still can put a few athletes on the field, though. I recall a kickoff return for a TD against us once at their place. And, Melrose has artificial turf, which Haywood and Covington are just now trying to get.

stacmot Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 This will be the third meeting between the Golden Wildcats and the Tomcats. The two previous meetings were TSSAA playoff games. In 1999 Haywood defeated Melrose by a score of 19-18 (second round). In 2003 Melrose defeated Haywood by a score of 57-7 (first round). Cedric Wilson (Melrose) and Chris Smith (Haywood) are in their third season as head coach at their respective schools. Counting Covid wins and loses, Wilson's record is currently 8-8. Smith's record is currently 26-6. Melrose (2-2) is averaging 29.5 points per game while giving up an average.of 23.5. Melrose's opponents have a combined record of 11 wins and 8 loses. Haywood (4-0) is averaging 39.8 points per game while giving up an average of 5.3. Haywood's opponents have a combined record of 4 wins and 15 loses. Based on opponents' wins and loses, it may look like Melrose has played a stronger schedule. I don't think that matters. I believe the Tomcats are at the least three touchdowns better than the Wildcats. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 57-7 beating was embarrassing, and the Melrose crowd wasn't friendly...they rubbed it in. I know they haven't been as strong as in the past, but you can't take anything for granted! Are y'all open this week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, and I have a Byars-Hall High reunion scheduled Friday nite, so won’t get a dose of high school football this week. Good luck to the Tomcats.
