Don’t get me wrong I’m not bashing the Trojans. However what I’m saying is this game will be a blowout.It would be even if Dylan was playing. It was last year and I think Patrick Henry is stronger this year.Zane is a very big speed guy for the Trojans having him out there opens a lot of things for John Battle however for some reason Zane only touches the ball like 7 or 8 times a game. He should have the ball more.The problem is Battle has a team of 27 right now less because another kid quit yesterday and a couple more have said there going to but a lot of our players are not leaving the field. Against Marion with all of our players out Hutton was sacked ten plus times and we had 30 yards rushing. When Zane comes back we will have a great passing offense. If we can block for Hutton and that’s where I think the loss of Dylan may hurt us the most he was very good at giving osborne the few extra seconds to throw or escape. Hutton has a great arm but he doesn’t have the legs of Osborne. However if we can find a way to block for Hutton Zane can light up a defense not to mention Blaylock. Cause trust me Hutton can put the ball anywhere he wants to. Defensive side the loss of Denton hurt us bad but now you have 4 of our big players out so that hurts.Truth is right now the thing that hurts the Trojans more than anything is injuries but it’s lack of numbers and now it’s a lot of young kids playing. Which is good for them for next year but it’s bad for this year. The Trojans have just had very bad luck this year Hopefully Ricker and his staff can pull the team together. But my opinion is it will not be this week Patrick Henry is to strong
no offense to either team but they got TS and RC off schedule and added two stronger teams. Not a cake walk schedule IMO: Battle and Lee both 2A, Castlewood and eastside both on the better half of the Cumberland district, honaker and Hurley are both solid and physical teams every year. Wins don’t dictate the challenge a team poses. Look at the rest of 1D team for team these schedules aren’t that different.
