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.

    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out. 
    • during the 2nd round of the playoffs last year against Milan, Gray partially tore his meniscus. He had a minor repair around Thanksgiving. Recovery time was minimal and he has been full force for baseball this season. 
    • What do ya’ll think the O/U will be? I would set the line at 2.5 
    • Playing high school sports is a privilege not a right.  The college did not have to rescind the scholarship.  Scholarship offers are pulled all the time for a number of reasons. That was 100% their choice.  A coach can keep, cut, or dismiss any player that they want to without reason anytime they want.  Is that the right way to run a program?? I don't think that it is, but these are the facts of the matter. This case has absolutely 0% chance of going in the plaintiff's favor. Futhermore, I'd imagine that these administrators and the coach are a part of some teaching or coaching organization that will cover at least 1 million dollars each in legal fees. Obviously the kid and her family feel like there were "damages" thus the lawsuit.  Unfortunately, the law is not on their side in this case.
