What To Expect From Madison Central vs. Brandon

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is going to be a game to see. We were able to see these two against each other in the 6A state title game in 2021. We are ready to see what these two teams are going to bring to the table Friday night. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to expect from both offenses</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week, [player_tooltip player_id='403635' first='Sladen' last='Shack'] was able to get out there and step up big for his team. He led them to a great win. We are expecting to see him spreading the football around on this defense. They are going to be trying to catch the Madison Central secondary slipping a lot. We also know that [player_tooltip player_id='403633' first='Tyson' last='Robinson'] is able to open up things for them on offense. They love to have control of a game with their balanced offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We know that Madison Central is going to want to do some similar things on their offense. They are going to be trying to get the football to Mikel Stephens. You are going to see them get the football to him a lot. They also have [player_tooltip player_id='600918' first='Zadarran' last='Hart']. He is a receiver they like to get the football to. [player_tooltip player_id='920468' first='Micah' last='Jones'] also has a lot to bring to the team. These three guys are some key factors on offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to expect from both defenses</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We know that Brandon is going to be trying to focus on the run and pass. They have guys for both situations. We talk about [player_tooltip player_id='212367' first='Preston' last='Ashley'] a lot because we know he is the kind of defensive back who may be out there following around Madison Central's best receiver. They are going to be trying to take that part of the game away from this team. [player_tooltip player_id='212363' first='Ashton' last='Moore'] is going to be focused on the Madison Central running game. He is a player who has been doing great at reading keys for a long time. This is going to be a busy week for him. Him and Stephens are good friends, but they both are going to be trying to win this football game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Madison Central has some studs on defense, but they are going to want to make sure they do all they can to slow down this Brandon offense. It will not be an easy task because the Bulldogs have a lot of options when it comes to spreading around the football. Teams have to do what they have to do, which is trying to dial up blitzes. That is going to be what Madison Central needs to do this week. They need to try to rattle the young QB from Brandon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
