D2-AAA - Week 5

[JRB]

Everybody is in region this week. I think Baylor-Pope is the most compelling game with FRHS having the best tailgate.

MBA @ FRHS

Baylor @ Pope

BA @ SBA

McCallie @ Knox Catholic

Ensworth @ MUS

CBHS @ Briarcrest

you see any surprises?  I think folks are picking baylor but pope prep is legit.  I think they might take that one.  can FRHS give MBA some trouble?  LA has knox catholic in a few weeks.  will that be a decent game?

I feel like the excitement is waning on the D2 board.

I got Pope over Baylor by a few scores.  I think Baylor is waaaaaay overrated but we will see tomorrow.  Ryan game against MBA should be close as long as Ryan's play-calling isn't questionable like last year's game.  I believe Baylor beat Knox Catholic by 40 which means that LA hangs 40+ as well on KC.  I don't see them scoring on the Mustangs.

Definitely the best tailgate!  The West looks weak this year but an interesting game will be CB vs Briarcrest.  Nashville teams are 1 & 2....the rest are just playing to be the best in Memphis.

FRHS-MBA will be a good one.  FRHS has dudes on defense and are well coached.  That was a slugfest last year.  Expect the same tomorrow night.  I have never been to a varsity game on campus at FRHS before, so looking forward to that one.  

But I agree with you--Baylor Pope is the game of the weekend.

I am hearing that Pope will be without Minchey and Ansly (best defensive player) this week.

I saw someone tweet during the game Friday that they were up big at halftime and he wouldn't be playing in the second half...wondered if it was a serious injury or not.

I don't know the extent of either injury.  Thinking Kenny is out 2-3 weeks.

I listened to the MSP podcast yesterday.  Reporter said he spoke to Minchey after the game and said it wasn't serious and that he'd be ready to go.  That would be a huge loss if he misses....understatement of the year.

In the games I’ve seen this year, MBA has a “bend don’t break defense”. CPA was able to move the ball early however drives stalled with penalties or a turnover. If FRHS can capitalize on early drives with points I think they can make a ballgame.
