Randolph County at Fyffe

Hello again, football fans.  Fyffe has made it to the state Semifinals for the third consecutive year. Won last year but lost 3 years ago, so let’s look at this year’s game as Fyffe tries to repeat as State Champs.

Randolph County Tigers are 13-0 this season. The Tigers offense is led by Quarterback  J. Prestridge he has thrown for 1397 yards and 16 TD’S with only 4 interceptions that is an average of 130 yards passing per game. Not to be left out R. Hannah has had an equally exceptional season rushing for 1835 yards and 29 TD’S rushing for 152 yards per game.  At receivers,  6’3 185lb. A. Prestridge is the Tigers leading receiver with 539 yards and 5 TD’S,  on the other side 6’1 200lb, J. Roundtree has 404 yards and 6 TD’S Don’t leave out R. Hannah who has 263 yards and 2 TD’S. The Tiger’s  have a very balanced and explosive offense averaging 44 points per game.

The Tigers Defense is allowing 18 points per game and have had 27 and 28 points scored on them in last two games.  The Tiger’s  defense is led by R. Hannah with 93 tackles, J. Wilson with  75 and J. Roundtree has 62 Tackles.  R. Hannah also has 6 sacks and 5 interceptions. D. Gullage has 3 interceptions.  He is a tall defensive player at 6’5 180lb. He also plays a little receiver. Looks like their defense is a bit suspect and do get scored on some.

The Fyffe Red Devils are 12-1.  Their  last 2 playoff games have been very exciting. The Red Devils seem to be on the ropes but their will not to lose, is second to none.  Red Devils are 40-2 in the past 3 years. Red Devils offense is led by Kilpatrick with  2,500 yards rushing and  34 TD’S, Benefield playing Quarterback with ice running through his veins. (Cool) never gets rattled. Collins and Ashley both have over 10 TD’S rushing and receiving combined and Anderson has  over 10 TD’S as well. Red Devils average 39 points per game.

Defensively the Red Devils are led by Ryan Martin, Daniel Martin, Cole Hosch, Ricky Butts, and Ethan Jones up front while Collins ,Ashley and Anderson patrol the secondary. Red Devils defense has been stingy this year allowing 10 points per game.

Lets get to who will win, now.  The Tiger’s will have to stop Kilpatrick and not let Benefield slip a long touchdown pass or 2 on them. The Red Devils will have to stop Hannah rushing and somehow keep Prestridge  from beating them by passing to the Tigers oversized Receivers.  I’ll take Red Devils with their   playoff experience and their  will not to lose.  Fyffe 27 Randolph County 14.
