Huge pains for Patriots
Thursday, November 19, 2009
By Mike Easterling
Times Sports Writer mike.easterling@htimes.com
Bob Jones likely to face Hoover without its No. 1 quarterback, tight end This week's injury report holds no good news for the Bob Jones High football team. Big, physical sophomore tight end Reggie Ragland was seen last week leaving the field following a thrilling 17-14 win over Decatur on crutches after being injured on the game-winning drive.

He's wearing a boot this week because of what Patriots coach Kevin Rose said was a high ankle sprain and appears doubtful for Friday night's Class 6A quarterfinal at Hoover (11-1).

The biggest loss for Bob Jones (11-1), however, could be at the most critical of positions. Junior quarterback Zach Freeman, it was discovered after the last-second win over the Red Raiders, had received a concussion. Freeman hasn't been cleared to practice this week and will see a doctor today for a final decision. "I don't expect him to be cleared,' Rose said. As for Ragland, Rose said "he wants to play. He'll be a game-time decision.' If Freeman is out, sophomore Jefferey Moss will get the start at quarterback. He played the first quarter in a regular-season win over Huntsville when Freeman was slowed with the flu. "We have full confidence he can go down there and do a good job,' Rose said. The Patriots would obviously prefer to have the quarterback who has engineered the most successful season in school history. "I hate it for us, but I also hate it for (Freeman),' Rose said. "One of his goals all season has been to beat Hoover. To not get the opportunity. I'm sure he's having a hard time with that.' In the final state 6A poll, Bob Jones was ranked No. 8, while Hoover was No. 5.
Times pick: Hoover 27-14

State Playoffs - Round 2 Huntsville Times Prediction

Decatur (9-2) at Bob Jones (10-1)

Friday, November 13, 2009
Huntsville Times

Last week: Decatur defeated Oxford 14-7 in the Class 6Aplayoffs, Bob Jones defeated Hewitt-Trussville 35-14

Storyline: A rematch of the Patriots' 20-7 regular-season win. Two keys to the game will be whether the Red Raiders - who fumbled at the goal-line while trying to take a fourth-quarter lead in the last game - can keep Bob Jones' big plays to a minimum and run the ball against the Patriots. Bob Jones, 5-17 all-time in the postseason, seeks to become the first team in school history to win a second-round playoff game. Decatur is 23-22 all-time in the playoffs. The winner plays either Gadsden City or Florence.

Pick: Bob Jones 21-17

Bob Jones (5-1, 5-0) vs. Huntsville(2-4, 2-4)

Where: Milton Frank Stadium

Last week: Bob Jones lost to Homewood 37-35, Huntsville defeated Austin 23-19

<

Storyline: A rematch of last year's second-round playoff game won 14-0 by Huntsville at MFS. The Patriots are coming off their first loss of the season and fell one spot out of the Class 6A Top 10. The Panthers are fighting to stay in the race for a Region 8 postseason bid and a win would be a huge step toward that goal. Bob Jones could all but secure the region championship with a victory.

Pick: Bob Jones 28-13

Huntsville Times High School Previews - Week 6
Friday, October 02, 2009
Huntsville Times

Homewood (1-4) vs. Bob Jones (5-0)

Where: Madison City Schools Stadium

Last week: Homewood defeated Pelham 31-28, Bob Jones defeated Decatur 20-7

Storyline: The Patriots from Birmingham are coming off their first win. But a check of the team's losses unveils a dangerous team. Homewood has fallen 21-14 to Spain Park (5-0, hovering outside the Top 10), 38-24 to Hoover (5-0, No. 1 in 6A), 28-0 to Vestavia Hills (4-1, No. 8) and 12-10 to Oak Mountain (3-2). Taken to the brink last week, Bob Jones' hopes of an unbeaten season could hinge on this game. If the host Patriots can prove they're up to beating a Region 6 team, then a run of the regular-season table and possible deep run in the 6A playoffs awaits. Bob Jones rose to No. 6 in this week's rankings, perhaps the highest ranking in school history.

 

Times prediction: Bob Jones 17-14

Huntsville Times High School Previews - Week 5
When: 7 tonight, Madison City Schools Stadium
Last week: Decatur defeated Parker 28-16, Bob Jones defeated Grissom 49-0.
Storyline: The winner will take sole possession of first place atop the Class 6A, Region 8 standings. The Patriots are ranked eighth in the state and have routed all competition so far by a combined score of 205-56. Decatur's numbers are a more modest 119-51. The Patriots will have a size advantage, and possibly even the edge in speed, but have not fared well against the Red Raiders in past games. Decatur holds a 10-1 lead in the series dating back to 1996. However, these Patriots are a different breed.

Huntsville Times High School Previews - State Playoffs - Week 1
When: 7 tonight, Oxford Stadium
Last week: Bob Jones defeated Butler 56-0. Oxford lost to Tuscaloosa County 28-24.
Storyline: Patriots face an Oxford team with loads of talent and speed. It's the fourth straight year for Bob Jones to make the playoffs. After defeating Huffman in the first round in 2005, the Patriots fell to Pelham in 2006 and to Vestavia Hills last season. Quarterback Nick Acosta has been team leader. Linebacker Hunter Hovis, out since the Decatur game Sept. 26, might play this week. For Oxford, quarterback Judd Edwrds has 17,700 yards passing with 13 touchdowns. Favorite receivers are Ty Martin, Antonio Webb and Tevin Fletcher. Top runner is Zeb Wright, who has 1,000 yards and 13 touchdowns. Top tackler is linebacker Shawn Rhinehart. Winner meets Huntsville or Clay-Chalkville.

Times prediction: Oxford 31-17

Huntsville Times High School Previews - Week 10
When: 7 tonight, Madison City Schools Stadium
Last week: Butler lost to Lee 34-14. Bob Jones defeated Sparkman 40-16.
Storyline: Only one player who went through Butler's 2007-08 off-season program is still on the team. Rebels might have had up to 12 more. Eligibility, transfers, and athletes choosing to play another sport have depleted the team. Butler dresses nine freshman and starts perhaps five. Jerel Johnson is questionable with a wrist injury. For Bob Jones, Nick Acosta passed for three touchdowns and the Patriots dominated the fourth quarter to defeat rival Sparkman on the road.

Times prediction: Bob Jones 38-12

Huntsville Times High School Previews - Week 9
When: 7 tonight, Sparkman Stadium
Last week: Bob Jones defeated Austin 24-6. Sparkman defeated Grissom 21-14.
Storyline: Bob Jones needs a win plus help elsewhere to make the playoffs. Defensive tackle Seth Thomas was outstanding last week for Bob Jones. Sparkman quarterback Terrance Pride ran for 104 yards and three touchdowns. Defensive lineman Jeremy Mastin graded well, as did defensive lineman Donerre Burwell. The Senators should have injured tailback Antwan Thurman back. Bob Jones defeated Sparkman 49-14 last season. In 6A, Region 8, Bob Jones is 4-3 and Sparkman 3-4.

Times prediction: Bob Jones 31-17
