Ensworth is going to beat Union City pretty handily. USJ will watch that film and will take care of Union City as well. Union City will start 0-2. 

If usj couldn't beat UC last year I doubt they will this yr. They lost basically everyone and what was supposed to be their best returning player moved to Florida

Here's my take on it all...

Ensworth will likely house UC. Just my opinion. You have to look at this game through a "relative" lens. Union City will be a fantastic team in 1A, likely most everyone's  favorite right now. But that doesn't mean they can just compete with anyone. There's levels to this. Heck if you put them in the west tenn 2A region they'd be fighting for a playoff spot. Just don't think they have the horses to beat ensworth. Again my opinion take or leave it

Totally agree with this statement. UC will be a powerhouse in 1A. Just sheer numbers alone with give Ensworth the upper hand. Back in the day Dresden would play Henry County in 7 on 7 practice. We had the mostly the same boys playing both sides of the ball, HC had a new group every series. We looked decent against them for a couple series then we were wore out and couldn't hang with them. I see Ensworth just completely wearing down UC by halftime. Like cartman said that's just my opinion. This will also be the reason UC is battle tested come playoff time. Playing up only helps.

I'm not a USJ guy. Kind of funny how you're already blaming the referees for a game that is 3 weeks away. However, I'm not surprised.

USJ coaches and their fans (parents) are well known for their game time behavior.  It was only about 3-4 years ago that the referee crew had to be escorted to their car by the police after a game at USJ.   That would have been a newsmaker at a public school.

That's a valid point. Nobody in the media talked about that

Very smart move going to the state of Florida to finish up high school.  Just the fact that he is a Florida H.S. player, that alone, makes his recruitment value quadruple.  Its a perception thing you see.   Yes, its stupid, but it is what it is.

Exactly now pretend Henry County was a private school that offered financial aid and..such. But hey if I'm wrong I'll be quick to find the UC/Ensworth thread and eat my crow while patting them on the back.
