Tigers_07 72 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 George Wythe had a bye while Honaker won their homecoming game against Grundy. Honaker 5-0, George Wythe 3-1. should be a close ballgame. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger_Tilt 103 Report Share Posted September 26, 2015 This game will be a good measuring stick to see where our young Tiger team stands at this point. I'm excited to have GW on the regular season schedule. Could shape into a great rivalry over the next few years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigers_07 72 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 keys to game for both teams for George Wythe 1. Start running game early 2. Contain Honaker's Avin Parrott for Honaker 1. Get Avin Parrott going early 2. Contain George Wythe's running game to me those are the keys for both teams, if I have miss something, go ahead and correct it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 IMO Honaker must control the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. GW has been suspect against the pass this year (according to what I have read) but we have to be able to run the ball to exploit that. The defense has got to play outside contain. The next two weeks we should learn how to defend the jet sweep. Can't let them have the edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't been good against the pass all year to the point that it blows my mind lol! The jet is still a staple of our offense, but we haven't ran it as often this year as we've been known to. That's just not the type of backs we have. We still run it a lot, and still fairly effective with it, but our run game is more based on power and counters.

RCITYHOO 110 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 I really didn't see all that much speed at the 1st game of the year. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigrhsfan 884 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Honaker always has good line play on both sides of the ball so I think that will be the deciding factor in this game..........which in reality is the case in most football games. The line ( for any team ) rarely gets the credit they deserve. This will be a great test for the tigers and one they need. Honaker in a close game.

We aren't slow, but we don't have the speed this year that people seem to associate with us. Plus, you guys make a lotta teams look slow lol RCITYHOO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Account Deleted 2,942 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 This is one of those games that makes high school football fun and interesting as an unbiased observer. Two tradition rich schools with proud, knowledgeable fan bases meeting during the regular season when neither have to. I will give Honaker a slight advantage but only slight. GW is much better than they showed in the season opener against Radford. Ryan4VT, RCITYHOO and sportsfan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am pulling for Honaker in this game but I think GW is a tough match up for Honaker this year. After seeing both teams...... I feel that GW will have a size and strength advantage in this match up. I think it will be the difference come late in the game. Honaker - 21 George Wythe - 28 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think razor might be right unfortunately. This might be smallest team Honaker has fielded in 20 years. It also might be the fastest. I guess that's what happens when you graduate one of the biggest senior classes is school history also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueRazor 1,147 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Speed can also neutralize size. This is one of the games I had to take a chance on in the pick ems.....lol Most will pick Honaker and it is on Home turf.....I hated to pick again you guys but its just a gut feeling I guess....lol Should be a GREAT High School football game. Good luck to both teams! My family want speak to me at Thanksgiving dinner......lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 The thing about it is you just have no idea how the kids are going to play. Everybody knows the first 5 games for us haven't technically been against the best of competition. So I have been waiting for this game to see what we really have. I hope we prove your gut wrong razor lol. BlueRazor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87Tiger 62 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 I am extremely impressed with Hartley Hilton at QB. As a sophomore, he is doing a tremendous job leading the team, and he's got a cannon of an arm. I watched his HUDL video the other day. He made one throw rolling out to his left, threw the ball against his body for about 45 yards with ease for a strike. I know this years Tiger team is young, but they are looking pretty darn good. Should be a good measure of where they stand against GW tomorrow night. I really hope to make it to a Honaker game this year now that I'm back in the good 'ole US of A! Also, if you get a chance, Google the name Brittain Brown and take a look at his HUDL video. He's the RB/DB for Cherokee HS in Canton, GA (where I teach and live). He committed to Duke over Stanford, Clemson and a few other schools. He reminds me a little of Jalen Hurd for UT, who played HS in Roswell, GA, one of our region rivals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwmaroon 23 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Can someone tell me the starting time? We normally start our games at 7 but I heard it will be a 7:30 start. I hope for the latter so I can make kickoff after i get off from work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
