Chapman -vs- Byrnes
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2021 1:22 pm
A lot of folks would say AAA -vs- AAAAA shouldn't be a tough game....
I say, you must not have seen Chapman play! Folks, during the game I was disappointed in our defense but as I kept watching and have had some time to digest what I observed last night, I've realized that it wasn't that our defense wasn't playing good, it was Chapman has some talent on the field. The QB has size and makes the progressions and the receivers have size and speed. I only see one team that will keep Chapman from winning the remaining games on their schedule, Chapman. Baring injuries to key players, I see them finishing 9-1.
Now, don't twist this into anything other than what it is, giving credit where credit is due. This post is all about how impressed I am with the talent at Chapman. I'm not saying that they have to be good just to make me feel good about a ten point win over a Class AAA school. My assessment of Byrnes at this time is that I still see us as a 7-3 team based on what I've seen so far and looking at the remaining schedule for the Rebels:
vs Dutch Fork
at Westside
at Gaffney
BYE WEEK
vs Spartanburg
at Riverside
vs Dorman
vs T L Hanna
at Wade Hampton
Obviously, I think Dutch Fork will be a tough game and unless we play extremely well and they are down, I think the Doodles numbers from last week will be fairly accurate... I'm expecting Doodles to have Dutch Fork by (315.8 -vs- 285.6) or somewhere in that area. Dutch Fork should be favored by 24 or more.
Then we travel to Anderson for Westside, and the game at Gaffney which is always a tough game, and the bye week to prepare for Spartanburg (0-2 with losses to Gaffney and Mauldin, but don't read too much in to that 0-2 record). Riverside is playing better, then I do think the Byrnes -vs- Dorman match up should be for the Region Championship, then we host T L Hanna and close the regular season with Wade Hampton.
