Henry County @ Brentwood High

[SEC1rules]

Thoughts? Predictions? 
This will be a tough one for HC.

Curious to see the results of tomorrow's game between Brentwood and Summitt. 

I agree it will be a tough game. These two have had some battles in recent years.. Honestly hasn't been terribly different from our series with Beech.

I wouldn't go that far. Brentwood has waxed Henry County a couple of times since they started playing again in 2015. But I do agree they've had some good games too, a couple of which have gone in HC's favor.

Most of the game was played 21-0 Brentwood with 1 min left to play in the 3rd. Rest of game will be played Sunday. Brentwood has a dominant defense.

This is true. I forgot how bad the 2020 game was and had to go back and look. I guess I had wiped it from my memory haha

They are always one of the 1 or 2 most physical teams on our schedule.

Thanks. I wasn't sure how much of that game they got in.

Interesting game. HC is supposed to be loaded with talent and experience. Brentwood's defense is one of the best in the state. Their offense isn't what it usually is because they don't have the passing game they normally have. I'm going to take Brentwood in a very close low scoring game.It wouldn't surprise me if I'm wrong. This is the year for HC to improve their not so good record against Williamson County Schools.

This should be a good game, not sure who to pick tbh...

Brentwood-Summit today will be telling (Brentwood currently up 21-0 in the third). But i think the needle leans towards Brentwood here. id put the spread somewhere between 1 and 2 TD’s. But HC absolutely has the talent to win.

HC is definitely talented, but the lines have been a work in progress IMO. We do have an SEC commit at LT, but outside of that there's been a lot of mixing and matching trying to find the best consistent group. In time we will be fine, will probably even end up being a strength as the season wears on, but right now I would give the edge to Brentwood. 

However, I also expected losses to Brentwood in 2015 and 2019 and was pleasantly surprised both times, so here's hoping for a trifecta.

2015 Brentwood was rebuilding so that wasn't a shock. 2019 was a shock. I think they're pretty close this year

I guess we’ll see. Brentwood has the 6A advantage, and they’re a decently successful program at that level. It’s a good game for us. Let’s us know where we are. 
 

I think HC will show up well for this one. We need to see what kind of progress we’ve made since the Beech game.
