The last 4 teams Beech has played aren’t good. 

I’m not disputing that, but the defense has improved significantly. They gave up 21 to HC, but one of those was after an atrocious sun 10 yard punt gave HC the ball very deep and another was aided by a phantom penalty. I don’t see Springfield being able to run the ball at them and I don’t think the QB is consistent enough to beat them repeatedly, although I do expect they will hit on a deep ball or two.

Clarksville can finish out 7-3, they’ve found offense. That’s not a bad team.

Jackets defense gave up 22 pts to HC....8 of them in OT from the 10 yd line. I don’t think Jackets can line up in power and run at will on Beech either. The first half of last week was by far the worst passing performance of the entire season. If the Jackets are clicking offensively they can move the ball and score. If they come out squandering opportunities they will be in another uphill battle. Jackets defense also has to try and slow down Beech rush attack.

You’re better off talking about what your offense can potentially accomplish on Beech’s defense. I guarantee they do not stop Beech’s rushing attack.

Springfield is admittedly better than I thought they were, but I think it will take their best game of the year and Beech to play bad for them to win. I believe the Beech defense will pressure the QB and cause their offense fits. I also don’t think the Springfield defense will have a lot of success stopping Beech’s offense.

I’ll give a score later.

I think Springfield has to score 30+ points to win this one.

well since 2019 we have given up 30 points 2 times and one was to yall last year with 31. SO i guess its fair to say your offense is capable.

I mean both teams scored 5 tds against Clarksville. We will see

I agree. If Jackets can slow the run and score a few tds they will have a shot. They can’t have a game like the 2nd half of last yr against them.

I think it will be tight at half, but Beech leans on them and gets a couple TD lead in the second.
