Times are critical now. If you lose you are going home. The regular season record is out the window. What your team did last week is out the window. Janet Jackson once asked what have you done for me lately? That’s the energy during this time of the year.
Biggersville vs Simmons
Ladies and gentlemen you are going to want to embrace yourselves for a good game. This one right here is going to be a nice showdown in Biggersville. Both teams are tough and can get after it. This is going to be a good defensive game. I can’t wait to send the ending results.
Simmons has a lot of good players on their team. We all know they like to run with the football. That’s how they have been so successful over the years. They are going to continue to do that. In 1A football you won’t see a lot of passing. Just good power football. They have Eddie George, Devontae Rush and Charles Mallard who are some guys to be reckoned with on their team. Charles is the guy who will hurt you in the air when they need to complete a pass. Eddie George is Mr do it all and will be everywhere for this team. Devontae Rush is a bruising sophomore who they like to hand the ball to. They will need to attack that Biggersville defense early with these guys.
Simmons will have these same guys move over and play ball on defense. They will need to be prepared to face a very aggressive running attack from Biggersville. Demetric Warren will definitely have his defense ready for this challenge. I can bet that he is putting together some packages to stop this Biggersville offense.
Speaking of Biggersville offense, they have done a great job of moving the ball on the ground this year. Tre Gunn is a playmaker who knows what to do with the rock. They also have Jayce Taylor who is just a freshman that is having a pretty decent year. They are going to want to try their best to keep this Simmons defense guessing. Dylan Rowsey is a guy that can stretch out and go catch some passes for Biggersville. You will probably hear his name a lot Friday night.
It’s 1A football so just like with Simmons, you can expect to see these same guys on defense. Their key to stopping Simmons will be trying to slow down their speed. Simmons has a lot of guys that are fast and you want to make sure you can put a stop to that. Don’t let these guys run around you all night. It will be very tough if they do. This is going to be a great game.
Bay Springs vs West Lowndes
West Lowndes offense can be pretty simple at times. Sometimes things seem like they are Jacquavious Tate left and Tate right. West Lowndes need to be a lot more versatile this week if they want to win this game. They need to find another playmaker that can keep this Bay Springs defense guessing. This doesn’t need to be a predictable offense against this tough Bay Springs defense.
West Lowndes defense is going to want to find a way to stop this rushing attack of Bay Springs. Bay Springs has a few guys on their offensive side that can hurt you. MC Miller is a legend at defensive coordinator and he possesses a lot of championship rings. He knows what it takes. He will have this West Lowndes defense ready.
Bay Springs has Ty Jones Ty Jones 6'2" | 200 lbs | RB Bay Springs | 2023 State MS on their offense. He is going to be toting the rock heavy this week. West Lowndes likes to line up in that 50 defense. Bay Springs will need to make sure they are moving those nose guards and defensive tackles our of their way with ease. If you let that MC Miller defense get a lot of pressure in the middle then you can’t carry out your offense against this team. West Lowndes can play good defense so Bay Springs will want to get Jones going early. They also have Jaylen Gammage who can catch the ball. He will be a guy you want to keep your eyes on.
Jones will play a lot of defense as well. They also have Kamron Beavers who is a force to be reckoned with on that side of the football. He is a very good player that holds offers from Ole Miss and Texas Tech. He will be a major factor around the trenches for the Bulldogs. He can’t be running up field too much when he goes unblocked. It will probably be a surprise coming back his way if he does so. He needs to be very disciplined this week.
