10B WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2007 HOSTS From page jB to Brentwood. Homecoming enters the picture, simply due to the fact it also brings distractions via the long list of activities leading up to the 8 p.m. kickoff Friday at Arrington Stadium. “We’ve just got to stay focused,” Jones resolved. And doing that means preparing for Brentwood, a team that tied the Hornets 7-all last year at their place. The stalemate was no doubt aided by the fact their head coach, Bert Brown, was one of Jones’ assistants in the past. To that end, the War Eagles employ the Wing-T on offense like the Hornets, as well as prefer a 50 front - typically 5- 3, Jones said, as they have three “really good” linebackers. On average, Brentwood, a AA team, comes in netting approximately 166 yards rushing a game and about 22 passing. Their “go-to” guy, Jones said, was Dalton Harris, who averages 6.42 yards a carry, but they do have two more that average more than six. On defense, they give up around 96 yards on the ground and a meager 7 in the air. Scouting them more than that, how- ACTION From page ioB that made it a one-point game. A mistake on the conversion try cost the Panthers a chance at the win. “The biggest thing was me making a very poor deci sion at the end of the game to go for two,” said Scott. “Hindsight being 20/20, I feel that loss was on me. Once we jumped offsides on the first play, we should have put the PAT team in there (and try for overtime). I feel like it was a game we should have won. “But at the same time you grow from it, and hope fully we won’t allow that to happen this year.” Jackson is another one of those high school pro grams using the spread-out offense, and Scott said they look like the same team even though some individu als are different. He said their new starting quarter back throws the ball well to big receivers. “I feel like the running back’s better,” said Scott. “He’s more explosive, which is very scary.” And even though it’s the kind of offense coaches nowadays should be used to seeing over and over, Scott said it’s still difficult to make a defensive scheme HOUSTON From page jB Parkview the Bears, who lost 20-7 to now-3-0 Berkmar this past weekend, beat last year 20-10. That Parkview finished the year 5-6 and were eliminated in the state playoffs in the first round. That Parkview didn’t have the half dozen running backs, Collins said, that this one does. “I don’t know, maybe they were young kids who didn’t play,” he said of a squad that rolled up more than 200 yards of offense in the first quarter alone in a 44-8 win over Union Grove this past weekend. All six runners scored in that contest, the Panthers’ second win of they young season coupled with no losses. “But now once they get behind one of those big old linebackers, they’re scary. Offensive speed-wise, I think they’re as fast if not faster than Northside.” Scary is also the word he used for a defense that bases out of a 4-3 - the offense runs some form of a Wing. That defense gave up only two first downs to Union Grove, at least until late in the final quarter. “They take care of respon sibility,” Collins said. “They’re very disciplined ... do what they’re supposed to do. They’re going to play hard. “It’s what kind of what you expect from Parkview.” As far as the Bears, yes, they’re having trouble scor ing - at least until late. But, Collins added, they’re still playing “extremely hard as a group,” he said. “They’re willing and they’re work ing,” he said. “Good things are going to happen (to ever, has been just about as challenging for Jones as getting his mind around the Homecoming phenomena. That’s because, just like in preparing for the Trojans this past week, he’s been a little short on game film. Like Tattnall, the War Eagles’ game this past weekend against John Milledge - a team Westfield opened the year by beating - was rained out. “I have about a half,” Jones said. “But it was pouring so hard during one quarter, you can’t see anything.” Brentwood, he added, did score in that contest but it was called back leaving it to end 0-0. “We’ll just have to work on getting our front people (on defense) to the outside to try and slow down the sweep stuff ... the ‘jet’ and ‘rocket’ type stuff as we call it... get our people to stay home. “(But) if we get to flowing too quick, it can hurt you on the back side.” When the Hornets have the ball, Jones said he expected Brentwood to stack the line as much as possible. “They know what we do,” he said. “I expect they’ll try to take advantage of that if they can.” Just as long as they don’t ruin Homecoming. He may not be a fan of it but losing is also something he wishes doesn’t come again - if it just has to come at all - until basketball season. "Nobody's really stopped us yet. We've just stopped ourselves in execution. The maturity level of our offense Is the strength of our football team." - Perry Head Football Coach Andy Scott against it. “It’s actually harder to defend,” said Scott. “A lot of people talk about basket ball on grass. That’s how we’ve evolved on offense. You try to get your best ath letes in space, move them around, and it seems like more and more high schools and colleges are going to this spread offense. “Everybody has their own little wrinkles. We run it a lot different than what we are going to see out of (Jackson). It doesn’t become easier ... trying to defend it. That’s why you see so many teams scor ing so many points. The more space you get, you are going to win those one-on one match-ups.” From Perry’s offensive perspective, the new spread set run by senior quarter back Casey Hayward is averaging more than 30 points a game. The Panther defense can even take some credit setting up the offense with short field position, and Hayward, as a corner- them).” “We just can’t do the things to hurt ourselves. We can’t make mistakes. We can’t give them (the Panthers) field position or points. “We can’t make the men tal mistakes or have penal ties.

The maturity level of our offense is the strength of our football team.” As for Perry’s bye week again coming in mid- September instead of October or even November, Scott said it turned out well this time. They were able to address some con cerns about the tough loss to Dougherty in Albany in Week 2, yet another situ ation the coach said Perry probably should have come out on top. “We didn’tplay well defen sively,” he said. “We didn’t sustain the ball offensively at the end of the game. “I think we got better (during the bye). It was a good physical week of prac tice. Hopefully it got our kids understanding they can’t take anybody for granted.” of things we’re still dealing with, with our young squad. “So we just have to play tough, give the effort we’ve been giving and cut out the mistakes.” And hope they can make Parkview look not so old anymore.

The only Bear hits afterwards were a single by Ling in the fifth and a double from Vasquez in the sixth. The loss put Houston at 6-2 in the region. WARNER ROBINS 10, LOWNDES 0 Lowndes did not leave town with its perfect region record intact, however, as Warner Robins High won a 10-0 decision later that day (in a game that was postponed due to inclement weather on Friday). The Demonettes scored five runs in the first, two in the third, one in the fourth and two in the fifth to end the game at five. Kristen Graham on the mound did a good job of getting out of trouble with runners in scoring position, said Warner Robins head coach Brenda Arnett. Graham struck out 12 hitters in all. Leading the Demonettes at the plate were: Katie Farinelli, who went 3-4 with a triple, Jensen Barrett, who went 2-4, Kylie Barrett, who had a double and Maci Brown, who was 2-2. 10 MEG* HIGHEST INTERNET SPEED SELECT ANY SPEED AND SWITCH TODAY! .
