Kublah Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 3-2 USJ heads over to Country Club to take on 4-1 JCS. I think it's fair to say the JCS program is back as they've reloaded just fine from losing a big senior class. USJ has played a tough schedule so far and are dealing with the adversity of losing legendary offensive coordinator Tommy Browder. They'll definitely be looking to avenge last year's penalty and error plagued loss. I've only seen highlights of JCS, but it looks like they have good speed on offense. USJ will definitely have the advantage up front, and their defense has really improved the last couple games in stopping the big plays that hurt them against Goodpasture. I think the Bruins should be favored but anything is possible in this game as we saw last year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Playerscoach Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 Big big game for the West. Playoff seeding is huge for this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManOfMillions Posted September 21, 2021 Report Share Posted September 21, 2021 This is a decades old rivalry. I love it! Can not wait for Friday. I am not on the air anymore so, I can go to whatever game I want to. I will probably be at this game. Just my uneducated guess, JC is a small favorite to win the game.... This is completely uneducated, just sharing my initial thoughts. JCS and USJ have been long time rivals. Most of the time, it is a great game. I hope the refs stay out of it and let the boys decide it on the field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still early but there seems to be a pretty clear division of the top two teams in the West and middle divisions with the east being decided in the MTCS/FCS game the last regular season game. Kings is the heavy favorite to be the #1 in the east after their win over a young FCS team. FCS isn’t at the level of some of their teams the last few years but they have a bright future ahead of them. NCS looks to be the top team in the state with size, speed, and talent. Their convincing win over Goodpasture and close loss to BGA, who is a likely semi-finalist in D2AA, are both impressive. The RBs are tough, physical and very fast (track stars) and the QB is good as well. They have huge OL/DL and speed all over the place. Their seeding will also be determined at DCA the last regular season game. Those two teams are similar in size and speed so it will be interesting to see who makes the least amount of mistakes and the most plays by key players. This game will determine who potentially travels to play a 1 seed in the playoffs. This is THE game of the year for D2A west region so best of luck to both teams. Seeing two good, well coached teams competing on Friday nights is a true blessing. Best of luck to you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you go back to Milan and teach those recruits over there how to run, tackle, and block. I would hate to make you cry again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCA plays in Chattanooga at Silverdale so I’ll be there. I’m going to watch it on NFHS for sure though. Both teams are very good so it should be a great game and environment.

Bellsburg2 Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I expect a high-scoring game. I've seen most of JCS's games on film and they have a lot of offensive weapons. #23 will be a problem for teams for years to come. Their punter may be the most well-rested guy on the team, but the downfall of the offense seems to be turnovers. This could be a deciding factor in the game. I suspect the front 7 of the Bruins will be the best JCS has seen all season. USJ was certainly glad to have #25 back last Friday. I'm not sure many teams in II-A will have an answer for him when he's firing on all cylinders. He's averaging 13.2 yards per touch and has 11 TD in 3 games. Bruins will have a clear advantage in the kicking game. The key for USJ will be keeping their heads on straight. This is a rivalry game that will be heated before the opening kick, but if the Bruins play their brand of football, they should win by 2 scores.

On average, the score is 31.1-13.5. USJ has won nine of the last 10 meetings between the two teams. Jackson Christian has only won multiple games in a row against USJ one time (2005-2007). I broadcast two of those three wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If, memory serves me correct, the last game had a huge controversy that ended up getting several officials suspended or moved. I really hope this does not happen again..... Shewww, I know that each team is going to fight hard and give it their best shot, but please lets not have this again. I hope for a clean, injury free game. Let the best team that shows up Friday win the contest cleanly. Also, be good sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
