Haywood @ Milan

[Tigersandcats]

Looked at the Big ones contest, Milan at near 55%. A lot of folks thinks Milan has a shot.

Guess us Tomcat fans should just go ahead and give them the "W" and stay home! LOL  JK  I respect the heck out of Milan, This will be a great game! I am confident in the Tomcats though!

Already said earlier I’d never pick against Haywood until a west Tn team beats them and I’m standing by that. I do think it will be a more competitive game than last years though. I’ve been saying for years I want Hardin County to play you guys, because that would be a semi final game. Maybe some day.

I agree! I think it will be a much closer game than last year! If we play like last week, it will be along trip back to Brownsville. If we play like the first to weeks, focused, I am very confident. No disrespect to the Bulldogs because regardless of who wins, they beat a really good team!

Yea i would like to see a game with y'all as well! I remember a game against y'all several years back. HC didn't have a fancy "run out", actually no run out at all. Just walked from locker room to the sidelines and beat the Tomcats handily.

You should. That’s the only chance we have!!!

I see from the latest 4A AP poll that Haywood is #3 and Milan is #6 in the state. This matchup will have serious impact on next week’s poll.

I agree. When Haywood wins soundly they should move up even higher.

The water girls and cheerleaders may get called into action. 

So the plan is to distract the Cats with pretty girls...Milan is pulling out all the stops!   Lol

For Tomcat fans who might be interested.  Here's the Milan Mirror-Exchange's predictions for Friday night.

Haywood (3-0, 1-0 7-4A) at Milan (4-0, 1-0)

A big matchup in the second week of region play as both teams come in undefeated and playing well. Lexington scored 28 points on the Tomcats, so maybe there is hope. (Note: Milan is 2-0 when Odom picks against them.)

Vic's Pick: Milan 28, Haywood 27
Odom's Pick: Haywood 35, Milan 28

The paragraph below is taken from a preview article concerning the game.

"Haywood gave up 28 points to Lexington last week as the Tomcats struggled to contain Lexington’s Isiah McClaine. That game showed that Haywood can be scored upon."

The rest of the article dealt with comments from Coach Carr concerning the game.  Carr was complimentary of the Tomcats, but he is a coach, and we all know coach-speak.  I'm sure Coach Smith will be just as complimentary of the Dawgs.

I agree. Haywood by 100. Where is the old coach Hooper at? He was good at putting 100 on folks. Stacmot, is he still around? 

1.  Milan 2022 is not Fayette Ware 1970.  Haywood 1970 is not Haywood 2022.
2.  Coach Hooper passed away in 1998.
3.  Just like nobody puts baby in a corner, nobody scores 100 on Milan.  Not SGC, not anybody.

A little background about that 110 - 0 score.  The game was played in 1970.  Fayette Co. High and W.P. Ware had just been consolidated to form Fayette Ware.  Most of the white players transferred to Fayette Academy leaving Fayette Ware with a team of players who had never played football.  It was a heartless beat down to kids who just wanted to play the game they had watched others play.  I'm not proud of what Haywood did that night.

I have the utmost respect for Milan.  If Haywood is fortunate enough to win.  It won't be a runaway.  I expect the score to be close.
