What’s at Stake:
Heritage is attempting to right the winless ship by sinking Farragut’s. The Admirals are coming off a tough 5 game stretch where they’ve been able to pick up 2 wins against Catholic and McMinn County. While Heritage’s playoff chances continue to diminish, Farragut’s post-season play is still a good possibility and they hope to start the run by coming away from Friday’s game with a win and some much-needed confidence going into the perennial west-side showdown with a 5-1 Bearden team.
Key Matchup:
…is up front. For the first time since the opening game, the original starters are set to take the field. Patty Ducette returns to the lineup to help Brett Dockery and Justin Mowery anchor one of the biggest, most experienced lines in the state.
Players to Watch:
Can Je’Rell Bledsoe do it again? The Mountaineer’s Bledsoe returned a William Blount kickoff for a TD last week against the Governors.
How good is Jonathan King? The Admiral kicker/punter is ranked #1 punter/#4 kicker in the nation by prokicker.com and rightly so. He’s hit 14 of 18 kickoffs through the end zone, averaging 44.8 yards per punt, has hit 4 field goals and is perfect on PATs this season.
How will senior WR/Safety Jake Bruce bounce back of his injury in the West game? In one quarter he had a INT, a fumble recover and 6 tackles. He hopes to improve on that performance against Heritage.
Facts & Figures:
40 or more – 5 of the 6 teams that the Mountaineers have face have scored 40 or more points.
