Where are the Haywood and Lake Co. posters?  We still have a game don't we?

Haywood (6-0) is averaging 43 ppg while allowing an average of 9.83  ppg.  The average margin of victory is 33.17
Lake Co. (2-2) is averaging 24.50 ppg while allowing an average of 20 ppg.  The average margin of victory is 4.50

Chris Smith is in his 3rd year as head coach of the Tomcats.  His record at Haywood is 28-6.
Cory Quinn is in his 2nd year as head coach of the Falcons.  His record at Lake Co. is 9-7.

Haywood's opponents have a total of 14 wins and 26 loses.
Lake County's opponents have a total of 18 wins and 8 loses.

Haywood played in the 4A semifinals in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.  Although they came home with the silver, they went on to play in the 4A finals in 2018 and 2020. There are a number of Tomcats on this year's team who have had plenty of experience against some good competition.

Haywood has 2 players on the Tennessee Titans Mr. Football watch list:
Jaylen Lewis and JaKylon Taylor.  Lewis has committed to Arkansas.  

Some other Tomcats to watch are Camron Douglas, Cordero Walker, Anthony Brewer, Reid Russell (K).  I'm sure my fellow Tomcat fans can, and should, add to the list.  They probably have access to the stats as well. I don't.  

Lake County played in the 1A semifinals in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020.  The Falcons advanced to and won the state 1A championship in 2019, so  there should be plenty of Falcons with experience against some good competition as well.

I saw in the Jackson Sun where Jamarius Williams had 273 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries in Lake County's 26-20 win over West Carroll.  I've heard Jamarius Williams' name before, so I'm sure he is a key Falcon to watch.  

Who are some of the other key players for the Falcons?

Predictions:
Cal Preps - Haywood 35, Lake Co. 6
Massey - Haywood 41, Lake Co. 7


I mentioned in a previous post that both Haywood High and Lake County High have a long and proud history of football.  If you're interested here's some of the history.

The Haywood County High School Tomcats (purple and white) and Carver High School Wildcats (purple and white) consolidated to form Haywood High School (Tomcats, purple and white) in 1970. (Note...the official name of the school is now Haywood High School, NOT Haywood County High School.)  

Haywood County first fielded a football team in 1912.  Looking at the combined records of Haywood County and Haywood High, the Tomcats have won 687 games, lost 397, and tied 32 for a winning percentage of 63%.  The Tomcats have had 74 winning seasons, 31 losing seasons, and 17 ten win seasons.  Haywood has played in 4 state championship games winning 0.  The Tomcats have won 17 district/region championships.

The Tiptonville High School Earthquakes (black and gold) and the Ridgely High Green Wave (green and white) consolidated to form Lake County High School (Falcons, green and gold) in 1963.

Lake Co. first fielded a football team in that year (1963).  Since that time the Falcons have won 411 games, lost 241, and tied 4 for a winning percentage of 63%. The Falcons have had 51 winning seasons, 17 losing seasons, and 14 ten win seasons.  Lake Co. has played in 6 state championship games winning 3.  The Falcons have won 14 district/region championships.

 

good luck Tonight Tomcats

Is anyone streaming this game tonight? 

 

I'm sorry to say that I don't know of any video stream.  I believe a Lake Co. fan gave you a couple of suggestions for a radio broadcast.  You can also hear the game tonight on Brownsville Radio, 95.3.  http://www.brownsvilleradio.com  The pregame interview with Coach Smith starts at 6:30.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
