? Tigers Try To Stir Up A Hornet's Nest

Caldwell’s mixture of defensive deficiencies and ability to score in all three phases of the game lends a heavy dose of potential drama to their clash with Hancock.

Anything could happen on any given snap.

The Tigers have forced 25 turnovers and scored eight non-offensive touchdowns this year, including four kick returns. When they get their claws on the ball, they're sniffing the endzone.

The Hornets take a more measured approach. They like to pound the rock at eight yards per carry with a backfield that runs four deep. They've also been the far more consistent team, defensively. Running the ball and playing sound defense…. not a bad recipe for success in November.

I’ll take the Tigers in this one. Their Qb is a joystick. Fun to watch and very elusive.

Give me Hancock!

Tigers!

This should be a very competitive game. Both teams have played pretty well at times and also been average and generic in others. I think Caldwell is a little more talented and deeper, but, that will be offset by Hancock's home field advantage and better scheme and technique. I think I'll take the home field team by a TD or less..

Final 41-0 Hancock

I'm surprised at the score in this one. I predicted Hancock to take it, but, more on the 7 point range. Maybe Hancock is a little better than I thought or Caldwell's a little weaker than I thought or maybe the combination of the 2. If Hancock plays their A game and Mayfield has an off game or more turnovers than normal, could Hancock compete and possibly even upset the Cardinals?

I don’t think so. I will be surprised if Hancock is able to keep it from a running clock. Against OC they didn’t complete a pass. They had some success running the ball, especially against the OC JV. I don’t think they can come in with same gameplan against Mayfield.

Mayfield will be extremely hard to beat with just a run game. The Cards have been very stingy against the run all year. Pad Tilghman even had less than 100 yards rushing against them. 

The HC kids will play their tails off!
