Quarterfinals - West vs Central 2

[WestHigh4Life]

The first one was for the region while this one is for a chance to advance to the semifinals.

Dont have a feel for this one yet but I know Central will be out for blood. Hope West will be ready to match that intensity.

Thoughts???

I think West will win again, although it won't be the blowout of a couple of weeks ago, Winner gets to face Mighty Powell, who should dispatch Rhea County.

Since 2017 - has any 5A team played in more playoff games than Central?  They have dispatched many a good team to the basketball courts- including West 2 years ago.  It’s hard to beat good teams twice in one season, but I think both teams come in on equal footing.  I think home field helps the Rebels - but focus may favor the Bobcats.

I want to think a different Central team will show up Friday night, but after watching the first quarter against DB last night I'm not high on them. Penalties, poor play calling and execution, more stupid penalties, coaches need to get things right in the players minds or the game will be over at the end of the 1st quarter again.

Couldn’t have said it better myself…

lol, you Central guys are sandbagging.     You made Boone look like a middle school last night, and not a very good middle school at that.

They like to lay in the weeds

Don't think it will be the blowout that the regular season meeting was, but I will be surprised if West doesn't win comfortably again.

The things we do, it's ridiculous! We score, we kick to them, we hold them and are about to get the ball back with momentum, we rough the punter, we hold them to 3rd and forever, we rough the QB, and on and on. And then, from what I could gather the coaches get a personal foul called on them. We play the way Powell was criticized for playing at the beginning of the year. At least they seemed to have cooled things a little. And the West coaching staff seems to have their players under control. Doesn't look good for Friday night. The Rosser program played with controlled intensity, not happening now!

Dawg I could write a long book in the difference in the Rosser program and what you see now, but your son knows that I’m sure. The main difference in the players is there’s no Leadership. Look at the last few years, You had guys on the field that held everyone accountable, ALL THE TIME. It’s just a different group overall. The Coaching staff……again I could write a LONG book.

no. they also made the state championship game in 2016, too. 6 straight years with a 3rd round appearance. but I think the season will come to an end Friday. all central does it a running back sweep and a stupid fake hand off quick slant. the OC has maybe 5 plays on his playsheet. Dunno if it’s more of craneys fault or simbeck

Sadly whoever wins will just be the leftovers for Powell the day after Thanksgiving. 

Cant believe that rhea co game got picked as the tv game over West and Central...what does Packer know that we dont?

Heres to a good game that is injury free and settled on the field.

Go Rebels!
