Thought he was a great runner then he uncorked a couple of pretty TD passes. My guess is that Haywood will be successful if they can keep the QB from beating them by himself. No doubt you stop their QB it's over. This could be a really fun game to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBowlKid1489 Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Millington has had a great season and y'all aren't lying, their QB is a heck of a talent, but do they have enough to stop Haywood? My guess would be no, especially looking at the fact that they have to go to Haywood and get a victory. Playing in Haywood can be tough, especially during the playoffs. I like the Tomcats to win and advance with a score margin of at least 17 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainGuru Posted November 6, 2023 Report Share Posted November 6, 2023 Millington Trojans will not be able to mercy rule Haywood Tomcats in this game. I guarantee it. It will not happen. Does anyone want to bet? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacmot Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 (edited) I can’t say much more than what has already been said. Millington’s quarterback is an outstanding player, but the Trojans have some other outstanding athletes as well. Haywood is going to have to put together 4 quarters and limit the penalties. I think the two teams look evenly matched. But with rain in Friday’s forecast, a wet field could affect the outcome. On paper, it looks as if Haywood might have a slight advantage. But as we all know, the game is not played on paper. A few stats, facts and predictions: Haywood is averaging 40.9 ppg while giving up an average of 23.45 (Average margin of victory 16.54). Millington is averaging 30.27 ppg while giving up an average 19.73 (Average margin of victory 10.55). Both teams have identical 9-2 records. Haywood’s 2 losses were to 6A Oakland (6-48) and to 4A Hardin Co. (35-42). The combined record of those two teams is 20-2. Millington’s 2 loses were to 5A Munford (14-42) and to 4A Melrose (10-45). The combined record of those two teams is 16-6. Haywood’s opponents have a 54-63 won/loss record. Millington’s opponents have a 45-71 won/loss record. Haywood and Millington have 3 common opponents: Haywood defeated 4A Fayette Ware 48-6 while Millington defeated the Wildcats 40-0. Haywood defeated 4A Crockett Co. 28-23 while Millington defeated the Cavaliers 38-34. Haywood defeated 4A Kirby 44-0 while Millington defeated the Cougars 31-0. This will be the 13th meeting between Haywood and Millington. Haywood leads the series 9-3. Haywood’s power rating is 121.30. Millington’s power rating is 113.69. With 2 points for HFA, that would make Haywood about a 9–10-point favorite. Cal-Prep predicts a score of Haywood 41, Millington 26. Massey predicts a score of Haywood,42, Millington 19. @CHARGERFAN, please keep us posted on anything the Daily Memphian might have to say concerning this game as we get closer to game day. .

MarkH Posted November 7, 2023 Report Share Posted November 7, 2023 Stacmot, I am from Millington and have this as being the 14th all time meeting between the 2 with Haywood leading 10-3. The 2016 & 2017 games were in the playoffs. Is this what you have? Haywood Co (3-10) 1927 0-7 L 1937 7-18 L 1945 7-18 L 1972 8-24 L 1973 0-20 L 1974 0-26 L 1975 6-36 L 1976 22-18 W 1977 7-14 L 2003 27-20 OT W 2004 21-20 W 2016 7-60 L 2017 0-55 L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacmot Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 Hey @MarkH, I’m sorry for waiting so long to respond, but I had to do some other things. Thanks for contacting and correcting me. It appears I’m missing the 1937 game. I got my information from the site below. https://ghsfha.org/w/Special:THSFHS/school/teams/Millington_Central/2023 Click on records underneath the title Millington Central Trojans, then click opposing programs. Scroll down the list until you get to Haywood. Then click the arrow to the left of the name Haywood. You should get a list giving you the date, location, and score for all the games between Millington Central and Haywood. I know these sites make mistakes, and I do too. Thanks once again for correcting me. Good luck to your Trojans and to the Tomcats as well. Will the Millington Star publish any pregame info about the game? If so, I’d love to hear what they say. I’m big on what the opposing side has to say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOOTBALLROCKYTOP Posted November 8, 2023 Report Share Posted November 8, 2023 1927?! Wow. That’s a lot of games played between two teams so far apart. Love hearing old stats, data, records or whatever you want to call it from local and neighboring county high schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking through 100 Years of Haywood Tomcat Football by Dr. Robert Rooks, I see a 10 game schedule that does not include Millington. The Tomcats were 3-6-1 in 1937. 09/17 Bolivar 13-7 09/24 Jackson 0-46 10/01 Greenfield 19-2 10/08 Halls 7-40 10/15 Chester Co. 18-0 10/21 Humboldt 0-0 10/29 Milan 6-18 11/05 Fayette Co. 0-12 11/12 Ripley 0-33 11/25 Byars-Hall 0-47 Of course, this information could be wrong too.
