Elizabethton vs Dobyns Bennett

[pressboxhero1979]

Showdown next week at J.Fred Johnson stadium. This is clearly one of those games both programs and fan bases would like to beat their chest to come Saturday morning. Elizabethton will be the better coached team out of the two teams, Which leads me to believe Elizabethton comes out on top,but in a close one.

Elizabethton - 28

Dobyns Bennett - 24

Noones I think this game will be very physical and it want be a blowout but I give Betsy the edge because of our defense.We’ve had some good defenses in the past but I believe this is Shawn best defensive unit in his 17 years as a head coach.

As a loyal DB fan, I think you are right.  We'll see...should be a good game

[EHSTrack06]

Physical game but after watching both teams EHS is the better of the 2. No common opponents yet but contrary to what DB fans will say I believe this year's team is weaker than last year's. We handled Science Hill who I'd say is probably on par with DB this year. Greeneville struggled with West but were tied with DB. Not sure if that that says more about either DB, West or Greeneville.

End of the day EHS is not the same team DB beat up on in the past and I feel we win this in a close one

This will be Elizabethton defense first test. East, Grainger and Cherokee were not a test. SH was all run and idk about West.

The running game will be a challenge. I was not impressed by the QB play at the Asheville game. If Betsy stops the run and puts pressure on the QB, it could be a 2 or 3 pic night. Things tend to happen when you are able to get a player out of his comfort zone. It’s gonna come down to line play (always does).

Science hill was all run because the secondary of the cyclones had great coverage all night as far as West they were big and physical played same type of DB offense unless DB has a QB that can stretch the field the game will be one sided Eliza 28 DB 7

Elizabethon wins 35 to 0.

Me included, not sure yet on this one. DB has the potential, but Witten and staff seem to get the most out their kids more often than not. Should be a packed house.

Greeneville has a heck of a team but I've been saying for weeks it's time to move on at QB that is our only weakness but in this game I got Betsy in a close one
