Region II Week 1 GotW: Gilmer(1-0) Vs. Plano Prestonwood Christian(1-0)

[poisoned10]

Plano Prestonwood is coming off of a huge lopsided win against Henderson and Gilmer is coming off of a tough win against Atlanta.

So who do you think wins this one?

According to family that went to the Henderson/Prestonwood game, Gilmer is going to have a really tough time with this team. They are apparently pretty big and physical and their QB is REALLY good and their LB is a stud.

Thoughts & Predictions?

If Gilmer plays a good game and so does Prestonwood, Prestonwood wins. If Gilmer and Prestonwood both make mistakes(turnovers, excessive penalties, etc) I think Prestonwood probably still wins. If Gilmer plays well and Prestonwood doesn't, for whatever reason, Gilmer CAN win, but still may not. In other words, Gilmer needs to really play well in all facets this week to win this game. Good Luck Buckeyes, and I mean that with my heart in the right place.

Don't know anything about Prestonwood except they opened the season with a big win against a team that has had a lot of success in the past few years. Gilmer started slow and seemed to do everything better as the game progressed against Atlanta, and Atlanta has some talent. We have not heard the last of the Rabbits. This week will begin to show the talent, and resolve, of both the players and the coaches. A good early season test, but that is about it. I do not think Prestonwood will put up 50+ points on Gilmer. Gilmer may not put 30+ on Prestonwood. I call it 27-21, Gilmer, but it could be the other way around.

They have 6'8 basketball stud Mickey Mitchell as their QB....I have no idea why he's risking playing QB, he's probably the top basketball prospect in the country in his class...his brother Mike Mitchell is a stud LB

The inexperienced Buckeyes will most definitely have their hands full this week. They will have to have the best week of preparation and practice that they've had in a long time to have a chance at winning this one. If the Buckeyes can get their offensive consistency going, and the Black Flag defense can get some stops, I see no reason why the Buckeyes can't hang with Prestonwood. With a break here and there they might just pull out a win? That's a very tall order, because the Lions look like a TAPPS state champion again. The consensus is that it'll be just another win for Prestonwood, but I wouldn't count on it. It'll be a huge test to see if we can compete with the best teams in the state, and I think Prestonwood is one of those teams. I can't go against the Buckeyes for the obvious reasons, but the task ahead does look daunting to say the least. Go Buckeyes! Prove you belong!

I like the game plan that Gilmer has in store for Prestonwood. I won't elaborate on it for obvious reasons, but I like it. And if they execute it well, I think Gilmer will have a good chance at winning this game.

Go Buckeyes!

I have no doubt the Buckeyes will have a good game plan. That's what good coaches do. Executing that game plan is what will determine whether we win or lose, in my opinion. The Lions will have a definite experience and size advantage. It'll definitely take EXECUTION to pull out the win, both offensively and defensively. It's hard to measure just how good either team is at this early point in the season. I guess we'll see Friday night.

Final

Prestonwood's lines dominated the game. They got pressure on us every play on defense and they pushed us where they wanted us on offense. I can't even begin to count how many times they had open receivers with no one within 10 yards of them. Especially on 4th down.

Prestonwood did an amazing job tackling. They hit our guys hard and wrapped up every play.

It sucks but we were just dominated in every part of the game tonight. I don't think we would see another team anywhere as good as them until 2 or 3 rounds into the playoffs. No disrespect meant towards our future opponents, Prestonwood is that good.

Good luck to them the rest of the year. I know Gilmer will rebound this week and take out some frustration on Jacksonville next week.
