Jax vs Whitehouse


Jets

Recommended Posts

If there was ever a toss-up this is it ... either way, there could potentially be some weird developments in the final playoff spot(s).

In our neck of Texas, HS football research shows that WITH ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL that the home team wins about 60% of the time.

In our neck of Texas, that same research shows that WITH ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL that the school with the highest enrollment wins about 60% of the time.

So that balanced out with the game in the Tomato Bowl.

Numbers?

Jacksonville's Offense averaging 21 points per game versus Whitehouse's Defense averaging giving up 25 points per game ....

Whitehouse's Offense averaging 15 points per game versus Jacksonville's Defense averaging giving up 36 points per game ...

On paper, Jacksonville is potentially more explosive on offense, but can their defense get off the field on 3rd down plays enough to put the ball back in their hands.

Probably look for each to score about 3-4 times on the other ... after that it's FGs and ExPts ...

But obviously you never know how a non-round ball will bounce. And you never know who'll get dealt the hot hand of momentum and who'll find something in the structure of the other's defense or individual match-ups that the DC can't rally the troops to handle.

So, we shall see ... in the end it may end up being decided by who comes to play and who comes in looking forward to the end of the season.  Being an old coach, history has shown me that along about Halloween, some folks with a helmet tend to have basketballs - not sugar plums or goalposts - dancing in their heads.

Whitehouse is peaking now.  They must have gotten hold of whatever Hallsville did a few weeks ago. The new Qb is tough and fast. He's going to get his yards against the Jax D that has been their weakness.  I'm sure his passing will improve week to week as well.

Whitehouse took Marshall to the brink and then upset PT. I think they would be the 4 seed now if they played Nac or Hallsville instead of THIGH in week 11. That pretty much halts their playoff chances.
