Haywood is the Heavy favorite in this game, we all know anything can happen any given night. I expect a lot of young guys to play this game

I usually like to give a little background info about our opponents.  So here goes!

This will be the first meeting between the Haywood Tomcats and the Oakhaven Hawks.

Oakhaven lost to Middle College 6 – 14 in Week 1.  Haywood was open in Week 1.

As @Tomcatfan2011 said, the Tomcats are heavily favored.  (The preseason power ratings - Haywood by 51.  The Massey Ratings - Haywood by 42.)

The last time the Hawks had a winning season was 2011.  Since that time, they have had 7 different head coaches and an overall record of 20 – 82. 

Last year Oakhaven was banned from the TSSAA playoffs for 2 years.

I hope the game plays out as predicted, and I think it will.  I also hope that the younger players will get the opportunity to play and gain some valuable game experience.  Praying for a clean and injury free game.  Go Tomcats!

i think if everything goes like we know it can the starters night should be over by half and the younger guys get time on the field for game reps.

Will 95.3 have video as well or just audio? Thinking about saving a trip

Brownsville radio says,

"Tomcat football is back on television this year—sort of. Brownsville Radio is returning its video streaming service along with live play-by-play.

Greg Vanstory and Robert Rooks will return as this year’s play-by-play announcers on 95.3 Brownsville Radio. Rooks and Vanstory’s commentary will accompany the video stream found on Brownsville Radio’s Facebook page."

I'm interested to see how this goes.  Since I don't do Facebook, I hope it's a public video stream.

Edit...now they are saying the games will be video streamed on brownsvilleradio.com as well.

Since the rest of the region is showing out, maybe Haywood wants to make a statement? Maybe not. You never know what you will get out of Memphis teams
