Columbia vs Robert E Lee

[DisabledAccount]

We are 7 days away from Columbia vs Robert E Lee week 4 in Jacksonville for what is likely the game that will decide the district championship for 7A district 2

 

Both teams are 3-0 heading into this game next week, here is how they got here

 

 

Robert E Lee 

 

Week 1  20-16 win over 4A Raines

Week 2  49-7 Win over 5A Westside 

Week 3  35-20 win over 8A Mandrian 

 

 

 

Columbia 

 

Week 1  52-34 win over 6A Gainesville 

Week 2  48-0 win over 5A Suwannee 

Week 3  42-7 win over 7A  Buchholz 

 

 

 

Last time these 2 teams played in "The Backyard" Lee led 15-7 at halftime in the 7A regional Semifinals before winning 43-7 and going all way to 7A Semifinals 

 

This Columbia team is not the same team who lost to Lee in Jacksonville last year and expect Columbia to look similar to 2015 form when they get ready to travel to Robert E Lee on September 15th we will soon find out what each team got next week when they go at it

Columbia, your next three games is a mine field. Lee, Madison, TCA after already going through a mine field against Gainesville, Suwannee, and Buchholz. Lee only defeated one good team, though, in Raines. Westside and Mandarin don't seem that good. I think that Columbia handles Lee. Madison and TCA not so easy. Atlantic Coast, Fletcher, and First Coast will probably be a breeze. Season should end 10-0 or possibly 9-1 for Columbia. Then the really hard part begins.

Of those games i think tca probably best ones there and we also finish @Bolles week 11 but we proved last time we could go to the Bolles school and win

Well until we beat them it would be crazy to rank us over them considering the last time we faced off but i feel we closed the gap against buchholz this past Thursday so we should go into this game being the biggest threat to Lee not only in the district but in the region

Region 1 comes down to 3 teams

 

Bartram Trail

Columbia

Lee

I think Fleming Island is over ranked but could be in the mix. The rest of the teams are not good

I had buchholz in there but they are not the threat right now with their starting qb injured 

 

Fleming Island look impressive but when they play bartram trail will go a long way into proving what they got 

 

Idk if bartram has defense to be able to win region but they will be right up there

I'm seeing this game getting moved to Tuesday at 6pm

I just feel that Columbia will be the dominant team in the north. They just put a beating on 3 very good teams. Lee just barely got by 4A Raines and beat up on two hapless teams. I honestly think that Columbia will run Lee off the field. Too much offensive power for Lee to deal with, IMO.

I really hope you are right lol

Why did Lee beat Columbia last year. They will try the same tactics this year. I would play the same way until you can stop it if I were Lee's coach. 

Never thought about Lee being a top 25 Florida team but playing easy games fool people into thinking they are better than they are. Did Lee have a coaching change?

Good Luck and stay healthy.

So the QB for Lee graduated, he seems to have been their play maker... you guys will have a better game this season against Lee.

I thought he was a senior this year 

 

Their best OL graduated though

When we played last year our team really didn't look there mentally in either game both games we came out flat at half and didn't score a single point in second half of either game

 

Not to mention stopping that qb was not easy and should be a challenge but so far outside of raines the teams Lee has played don't look to be that good honestly, idk what's up with Mandrian and westside is not a good team 

 

What worries me is that Lee might have held back on games early and that they might have a surprise in store for us but i look forward to the challenge 

 

Might help this time going in at 3-0 instead of 1-2 lol

You're right. I was looking at another team. Well that makes a difference. I see Jones has been tossing the tater since he was a Sophomore. But you guys have someone that can sling the rock also. I see it says that the location is going to be announced. You guys are just going to have to play harder and smarter.

2 words

 

Derrick Jones 

[DisabledAccount]

We still in the game though, if Columbia defense can stop Derrick Jones we can come back in second half

[badbird]

35 points in a half is really bad when you want to be considered a contender.  They better make some adjustments or this could get ugly.
