catswild Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 First of all, I want West to win, represent our region, as well as East TN...and while I don't know their coach, he seems like a good guy. Now...I must say i was underwhelmed by what I saw of West vs Powell. Powell outplayed West all night long except for two plays...the 99 yard pick six and the punt return. West may have peaked a bit early, as we all know they beat Alcoa and Maryville. The West QB is no threat at all and while he might be a very good game manager, the defense won't have to really account for him. I know nothing about Page, but if they're a real good team, I expect them to win, unless West plays a lot better than they did against Powell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocked not to see OR here with all the skill talent they had. Then I watched them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OR under performed. What team had talent in numbers like OR did? I can't think of anyone that I saw in person or on TV. OR had #1,#3, #7, #13, #17, #22,...and they could all fly and all are GREAT athletes. They also had #33...who is a GREAT linebacker. They also had two very tall and athletic outside linebackers in #19 and #20, and a kicker/punter #54 who was very good at both. The OL was fair and the DL was good. They were athletic in the secondary...What part of my post is wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our deficiencies were in the area of linemen, but I thought we improved there...but not enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know nothing about Page, but if they're a real good team, I expect them to win, unless West plays a lot better than they did against Powell. I'm not convinced you're totally right. West had two dominant drives at important times (one to win the game). Scoring on Punt return and interception eliminated offensive possessions or West would have had more offense. Lastly, I'm just thinking about starting field position for each drive, and I'm pretty sure that Powell often started inside the twenty or at the twenty and west started at the 35 or 40 when they did recieve (usually). When I look at those stats, I find myself thinking they're not great representation. As for the QB, I don't think he missed a pass and he had an important passing TD. 5 star says he has close to 1500 yards and 15 TDs or so if i recall correctly. What I saw this last game was West trying to limit Powell's possessions. Why pass when you're doing that. Maybe I'm wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sx1234 Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 I don't know anything about Page this season but I have to go with West on their resume alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also saw our H-Back pancake #33 multiple times on run plays up the middle, good high school linebacker but not GREAT. If it wasn't for a long run in the 4th by Hundley against backups you all would have barely had over a 100 yards of total offense. The part about the OL and DL is wrong along with #33 being a GREAT Linebacker. Your skill players are the only thing that your correct about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your skill players are the only thing that your correct about The DL was pretty good against poor to average teams, but not good against quality teams. The OL is just bad, no way to sugar coat it. Both units were dominated by Greeneville for sure. And agreed, your blocking back was a stud. 33 didn't get pancaked very often in his 4 yrs starting for us. Great kid, great teammate and leader. He will be missed., but wrong thread to talk OR. We should keep this thread on the 5A title game.

Booger Posted November 29, 2022 Report Share Posted November 29, 2022 Booger thinkin the Friday night contest will for sure see only one team crossin the goal line at a minimum 4.5 times.....thats the only team with a perfect record and more power 5 players.....Booger eyeballed Page in the Gold Ball contest last year and that was a very good team that didnt lose a ton of players that have come back for a repeat attempt....but the Patriots will not succeed with only 2 to 3 scores on the board... ....the Gold Ball goes to another Knoxville 5A school in 2022 thats a Booger Pickin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
