This has the potential to be one of the best games in WNC in week 1. Pisgah has played well in scrimmages and Heritage still has plenty of offensive weapons and can throw and run the ball well.
Who ya got week 1?

I think Pisgah takes it 28-14. Pisgah should be the more explosive team and the line should create enough thrust to allow that to show.

Well, you're definitely not wrong about the Week 1 part. It's also been a while since you could say Pisgah and speed in the same sentence and not be talking about somebody else. However, It's the first game, scrimmages mean nothing now, and anything could happen. Heritage is always tough and physical though, but I'll still take the Bears at home on the river in the opener, seems to be a really good vibe around the program right now. 34-20.

Yes, we have definitely taken our lumps in week 1 the last few years but this squad looks a little further along than I thought they’d be at this point in the year. We’ll see.

Pisgah is giving up some major big plays. Our scores have been a mix of big plays and drives.

Big losses for us, in that our alternating starting slots are both out. One had surgery from a previous collar bone injury and the other has injured his collarbone early tonight.

I disagree that either d is “really bad”. That was two extremely physical and well coached disciplined offensive football teams who are very hard to mimic all week in practice. What I noticed with heritage is the lack of depth and that’s what got them. Pisgah figured it out after the first half bc they shut it down. What a great football game to watch by two very good teams. Good luck to all the remainder of the year.

We must have been watching different game lol. Any game that almost 100 points is score is not good.

Both teams need to work on their defense .In second half Pisgah put several of the offence guys on defense and they looked a lot better .Will probably see that for a few games since our defense in young.All in all a good start for the bears.MH will get better just like the bears. I will say that our fans were not as loud as usual and need to pick it up.

Considering Pisgah made halftime adjustments, and held an extremely well run option offense to 70 yards rushing and 6 points after the half, I consider that an accomplishment. We also had 4 juniors and 1 sophomore on defense making their first varsity starts last night. They’re going to be fine.

Yes, in our case on defense you could tell that a correction had to be made because their blocking scheme was creating a major disadvantage for us being sucked in on the line, and us having very few tacklers beyond 10-yards. We made that correction/ adjustment in the 2nd half.

#44 for Heritage is a beast. We had no answer for him one-on-one.

As for Pisgah, this team is talented, they’re further ahead in some places than I expected them to be at the start of the year and in others about where you should expect for the amount of roster turnover. Even when they peak, it’s going to look different than our “normal” teams because we’re undersized but with lots of skill options. The defense will get it figured out and it wasn’t as bad as the score or yardage against made it look. There are times we will have to outscore people to win rather than shut them down but I like our odds to do that in most cases.

I think Pisgah is doing a great job with the group they have. At the end of the day, they did a great job with their gameplan and adjustments. Heritage is thin, wasn’t conditioned well and it showed.

#44 was close to living out there and playing ball with that group. He played some travel ball with Bethel back in the day. They’re good kids out there and I hope you all have a great season.

Both sides need to address the cramping bc Friday night was not a night that cramping should have reared its head to the extent it did.
