The Titans (5-0) have the offensive personnel to spread
the field and attack the Spartans defense with quick-hitting
pass plays, screens and draws which will slow down
Mount Tabor's fearsome pass rush.
Given the high-octane nature of its offense, the West
Forsyth defense hasn't been put in a position in which it
has to shut folks down for an entire game. Clifton Mack,
KeAndre Buyna, Sean Wells and Joseph Was song lead the
way for the Titans defense.
When needed, though, the Titans get the defensive
stops at the most crucial times. Even so. Titans coach
? w ??
Jared Eure isn't pleased with the fact that his team has
allowed 232 points a game.
Mount Tabor (4-2) doesn't have much room for error.
The defense, which has limited opponents to 12.5 points
per game, could be among the top two in the Central
Piedmont 4-A Conference. Timar Jackson, Theon Joe,
Je'Vante Legrande and Cole Foley are major factors on a
unit that must play superb in order for the Spartans to win.
Offensively, the Spartans (who score 19.8 points a
game) aren't nearly as diversified as the Titans. They won't
win any scoring shoot-outs, so they'll need to rely on the
ground game with De'vante Legrande and Rodnique
Godwin to dominate time of possession and keep West
Forsyth's offense watching from the sidelines.
If the Spartans can generate enough of a threat with
their passing game with quarterback Thomas Brabham
and rangy receiver Jalan Moore, it will certainly help their
cause. Otherwise, they could be in for a rough night in
attempting to run against eight and nine-player fronts
designed to stuff the run.
Controlling tempo, however, won't be enough all by
itself. Mount Tabor's defense will have to limit the Titans'
big-play threats. Aside from that, field position will most
likely have an impact on the final outcome. If the Spartans
can manage to keep West Forsyth pinned deep in its terri
tory for extended stretches, the odds for victory increase
immensely.
So, does one team have a decisive edge over the other?
Probably not, especially since this is a contest that pits
two longtime rivals against one another. One key fact to
keep in mind, though. Both of Mount Tabor's losses have
come at their home stadium.

"As usual, our defense
played great," said Coach
Rod Dunlap of Reynolds.
"They played their hearts
out, but it was a case of
them having to play 80 per
cent of the game. You can't
win ball games that way.
"Overall, we have to
minimize our mistakes on
both sides of the football.
In order for us to win con
sistently, our offense has to

Reynolds scored its

game with just under 5:25
