Do they run a 40 on defense?? Don’t know anything about you guys this year. Traditionally speaking, catching them in the playoffs means it doesn’t really matter about the offensive and defensive philosophies. However, they are the team you really want to catch in the second round. Not that catching Hohenwald in the first is necessarily bad, either. Now, that’s speaking of tradition. If last year’s development maintains, all bets are off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walking through that "tunnel" with the pictures & awards and looking up at their sign listing their coaches and history takes it to another level there. Great atmosphere I agree. Really liked the pictures of the school's legends in the tunnel. They even had a picture of a beta male looking fellow in the urinals a few years ago. Always assumed it was the pizz guy.

I think in the past, Lewis Co. would often overpower teams in the regular season with the Wing-T, but would often struggle in the playoffs when they ran into a team that could match their athleticism and physicality up front. Now the offense is much more "modern" and is well-balanced. They alternate between a spread offense with 4 WRs and a pro-style set where they utilize a TE and/or a FB. All that said, Region 5 looks tough this year, so it will be a tough task for them to make a deep playoff run. But the run game and passing game are both good enough to give them a chance.

I had Cousins on all three of the teams you all are speaking about. Was just glad to see Alcoa out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
