Forrest @ Cornersville

It should come down to us and Riverside in the quarters every year the way the brackets are drawn. Mt. Pleasant and Richland may have something to say about it. We have a solid, deep team this year but this is the worst run of injuries I can recall.  Our fastest player broke his leg in the 1st quarter and is out for the season. Three of our other stars have injuries requiring surgery but are trying to play this season and put off the surgery. Our freshman showed out Saturday but they're not ready to carry the team on a deep playoff run. We need some luck keeping these older guys on the field. 

I am sorry to hear about the young man with the broken leg!  Hoping he has a speedy and successful recovery.  Will be praying for him.

Cornersville wins. I believe Franklin will take over in this one

Yup, they will be calling him the Daddy of Forrest after the game.

I believe if some adjustments are made and the boys can play all 4 qtrs this week Forrest will have a tough time tackling and blocking Qualls and Franklin all night.

Think Forest defense is too much and will put up a couple scores. Rockets 13-0

[GeneralForrest]

If Forrest struggles to win or loses here, they can forget being a 2A challenger this season. 2A might be wide open but they still need to be really good.

A close win, or loss this week, means Forrest is likely to fulfill scenario number 2 in my Eagleville recap, losing 3 or 4 games.

Didn’t mean the defense would score just saying Forest defense usually something they could always hang their hat on

Forrest, with only 1-2 exceptions in the last 10 years, is not afraid to hit. I was remembering some great backs and players that people said Forrest would struggle with:

Chris Hale- Eagleville (10-3 loss)
Zak Neary- Adamsville (26-7 loss)
Justin Winn - MTCS (49-14 win)  (Winn was a QB, but with ridiculous hype)
Luke Turner- Watertown (35-20 win)
DJ Taylor- Huntland (35-0 win)
Ty Love- Watertown (35-28 win)
Seth/Heath Price- Watertown (2 wins 2 losses)

There was a Columbia Academy kid in 2018 that was great. Tre Davidson? That was a 38-0 loss. CA was very good and Forrest had so much talent but got ran off the field by them, Watertown, and Lewis in a 3 game stretch that is still sickening to this day. 

The common theme above, well maybe there isn't one. Except to say that 1 player won't do it. If Cornersville is better than Forrest top to bottom, he will have a field day. If they arent, even if he gets 100 or so, Forrest still wins. 

Forrest is susceptible to the big play. They usually don't give up long drives. Eagleville's opening drive to start the second half last week was the most concerning part of that game. Well, besides getting Forrest's secondary filled out in general

Franklin ran for 120 against Richland.  The big question is, does he get that many against Forrest, or more?

Hope Cornersville gets it going. One bad game doesnt have to ruin a season.
