Cougars prepare for Sweetwater’s Wing-T offense

Campbell hosts the Sweetwater Wildcats on Friday, live televised coverage is here from WLAF

Campbell Offensive Line Coach Mark Romero (with notebook) instructs the Cougars scout team that is running Sweetwater’s offense at Tuesday’s practice. Cougar Jordan Perkins (28) pressures Silas Weaver (5) as Head Coach Taylor Ownbey observes.

JACKSBORO, TN (WLAF)- It’s been said the best way to defend a team’s Wing-T offense is to not schedule that team. In this case, Sweetwater is “that” team, and it’s on the Campbell County Cougars schedule. “The Wing-T poses a lot of problems and they do it very well,” said Cougar Head Coach Taylor Ownbey.

The Cougars are coming off a good day of practice on Tuesday as patches of mist and rain fell at times. “We are going to have to be very disciplined on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively we are working on finding our match ups that we like and hopefully be disciplined enough to execute at a high level,” said Coach O.

Sweetwater is 3 & 3 and is a handful of points away from being 5 & 1. Last Friday, the Wildcats, of Region 2 AAA, won 47-33 at Austin-East. Sweetwater hung 65 points on Sequoyah in the season opener. The Cougars fell 49-0 at 4th ranked Powell on October 3.

“Sweetwater is another tough opponent. So, we will continue to work hard throughout the next two days and hopefully be ready for Friday night,” said Coach Ownbey.
