Overall SG is a pretty solid team. They have been banged up last few weeks and will likely get the two kids back this week. One is their everything RB and the other is a big tall receiver and DB. They’re not overall very big but have some good athletes. They run a spread type offense and their QB isn’t anything special but isn’t bad. They run a 3-4 on defense and love to bring pressure and move around.

I think you guys roll in this one, the last two times SG came to Decatur, I believe in 19 they were 10-1 and 20 they were 12-0, they had some good athletes but they struggled against teams that played physical, I think you guys win handily.

They probably have the most team speed of anyone in R1. They can throw it fairly well to a tall WR. The RB isn't bad either. Always in Shotgun on offense.  Probably above average up front on both sides of the ball.

If SG can slow the run game down. That’s a very tough tough one ask but if they can. I can see this bein a 4 qtr game.

If SG plays to their potential, its game on. Can't afford the stupid penalties.

In 2019 & 2020 Meigs went on to play in the state title game. I attended both games. It wasn't a physicality issue the reason SG lost. SG played just as physical if not more in my opinion.  SG did not have the same amount of talent/athletes/depth. Meigs clearly had more athletes/depth and the better coaching staff.  In those 2 season Meigs was clearly better than SG as well as everyone else in 2A accept Peabody who beat them in the state title game back-to-back. In those 2 back-to-back seasons, Meigs & Peabody didn't lose one single season game or a playoff game.  Both teams clearly on another level with overall talent/depth and great coaching staffs to boot.

In 2021 SG lost 2 regular season games against Daniel Boone & Knox Catholic. In the 2ndRnd SG lost to Oneida and then Oneida lost to Hampton in the 3rdRnd. That year Hampton went onto play in the state title game against West View who won. SG beat Hampton that year at Hampton and during that game SG's Qb Myers was injured. If Myers hadn't gotten injured and another key player who knows what could've happened against Oneida. I will say this, in that 2ndRnd game against Oneida, SG played bad, but credit due to Onedia because they came in with a great game plan and was the better team on the field that particular night.  

If, if SG loses to Bledsoe, it will not be because of not playing physical. Talent/depth and coaches making good calls to put the kids in the best position goes a long way. Bledsoe in my opinion has the advantage at the Oline, but that doesn't mean SG will not be as physical. Bledsoe probably the better overall team with clearly the advantage of being at home, but we shall see. Have a blessed week.

You have the players to give them a 4 quarter game, got to be disciplined and play to your strengths. Talent and toughness is not your problem.

I was at both games as well. Meigs pushed SG all over the field and dominated the line of scrimmage, I thought SG didn’t play physical at all, but everyone is entitled to their opinion and it irrelevant now. Good luck to you guys and safe travels, it a long and curvy ride over the mountain. And stop in Dayton to eat. Monkey Town Brewing is a good place to go, not much in Pikeville.

I know you know them 10x better than I do. That being said, they seem to struggle the most vs physical teams. Bledsoe I think will push them around. That being said, I think Susong is the best overall QB in 2A  in East TN. He's extremely talented and well polished as a passer.
