I am not sure who is more annoying, you or the guy from Maryville who always posts using hillbilly language.

Preach on! 100% agree. The schools that are running YouTube live have a good product. Clear, very little lag time, can have audio overlay or just run the stadium announcer. @ReitzFan out in West TN speaks out about this all the time.

sorry.. I just couldn’t let a season go by without whipping out this gem.

Betsy D are the only ones that can implement a ban in fireworks Friday night.

They don’t want anyone knowing how the sausage is made

The Upperman Bees will mercy rule the Stone Panthers in this game. It will happen. Do you want to bet on it? This is the JohnnyRay final say

I'm hearing rumors that two former staff members one of which is a coordinator and the other is a head coach of other programs are now helping covington on the sideline during the playoffs. Is this legal? Can they do this? I also wonder how the kids and fans of the other two respective programs are feeling about their coaches helping another school go on a potential playoff run.

Y'all have a couple of good eating places in Dyersburg. I partook of that Chinese buffet last trip. It was more appetizing than the Covington loss to Dyersburg. That part was hard to swallow.

It should be a great one. Two of the states top notch teams! The winner will beat Greeneville.

Every bit (or I should say every bite)!

I don't remember if the calls were pro-BA or pro-McCallie. McCallie had 8 penalties for 48 yards and BA had 6 for 61. Chattanooga schools do not typically feel good about Nashville school officiating when in Nashville. I can imagine that Nashville schools feel the same. I think Baylor has been the beneficiary of some glorious officiating blessings-- the most notable being in the State championship game last year. MBA was robbed. Baylor gets more calls (and non-calls) than any team I have seen. #7 for Baylor is a great player, but tends to push off (all the time) to get separation. He never gets called for OPI. Over the last few weeks, McCallie has not been impressive--and calls have not seemed to go McCallie's way during some of that time. Some of it seems like sloppy play--but some seems to fall into the "when it rains it pours" category.

I think there are has been many on here whose team(s) did not make the playoffs who have taken shots concerning the competitiveness of this game. This should be a competitive game.

Just off reading the rules, it looks like it would be a $500 fine per coach since I assume they were not approved by the director / TSSAA

They all seem calm down here from what I have seen and heard. Maybe it's the Maryville people getting nervous

You are correct. This thing happens all the time. Been going on for years and is legal. Covington is doing. Otho g wrong and this thread is stupid. (See PurplePeopleEater… I can be a nice guy. )

You forget about Livingston Academy in 3 A??

Have you ever kicked the hornet's nest down. That's basically what Maryville High School does to its older fans that can't make the trips or can't climb a big steep stadium anymore. You shut the door on their fingers, the fingers that help make this program back in the 50s 60s and 70s. Here's the skinny, if you ain't going to have the dang thing don't advertise it and take people's money and let them find out 5 minutes before kickoff. Is it too hard for someone up there to let everyone know if the game will be shown or not. That's plain and simple cockeyed laziness.

It's not crying, it's others and me laughing at the DB folks' (including yours) comments over the years. My statement about DB's "mythical championships" has obviously triggered you. I'm sorry that your Indians haven't even appeared in a state championship game since the playoff format began in 1969. That's 54 long years they've had a chance to prove themselves. But, hey, you can always say you were Big East Champions! As far as DB's football players, when I was at ETSU I used to meet up with some girls that were "supposed" to be going with them. One minor, but important note - it's idea, not ideal. Admitting to yourself that you're just butt-hurt would be good therapy for you. I hope you seek help asap.

Easy money.

THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU QUOTE INSIDE A QUOTE BUT THAT DOES LOOK HILARIOUS

I would like to wish safe travels to the Collinwood fans. Your address to put into your GPS is 114 W Bell Ave, McKenzie, TN 38201. This will put you behind the vistor seats and you can park there. Eating establishments: Big Daddy BBQ (Take out only), Rivals Sports Bar, The Station, Prater Taters, HomeTown Hangout (opens at 4:30), Marias Mexican, El Vallarta Mexican, Chick Fila on the campus of Bethel University, Sonic, McDonalds, Subway, Dairy Queen, TNT BBQ, Old West Steakhouse, Chinese Lantern, Block City Pizza. Yeah that is about it.

Maybe not, but they have hung a gold ball since Gordy has.

It was for a good cause though!

nice!

Hello all of my Henry Co friends. Just thought I would drop by and say hello. Its been a while. GO PATRIOTS

Broke his arm early in our game, played the rest of the game on both sides of the ball, Played a heck of a game, TOUGH kid.

Dunlap will see about 85% of that team next year so hopefully you get a little bigger and stronger. But hey everyone has an excuse when you lose. We've heard it all. Half our team didn't dress out, we played our jv team, we had a lot of injuries, we played a bad game, we played with 2 left shoes, our cheerleaders only had 1 pom pom, etc.... Sometimes you just lose to a better team.

So an HC and a DC of two different programs are on the sideline helping their old employer now that their teams are done playing? Don't think I've seen that before. That's definitely not legal.

McCallie: 35 - BA 17 Ensworth 28- MBA 4 Baylor 49 - Christian Brothers 0 MUS 42 - KC 14

Last year, this year, and probably the next few years. I told Brian to make room for another gold ball in their trophy case.

If Meigs makes it to the semifinals, I'd bet on Alcoa. I might even spot you a few points for some $$$$$.

I am telling you Cookeville Cavaliers will not win this game much less mercy rule Riverdale Warriors. A certain poster told me it would happen and it will not happen. I guarantee it. Riverdale Warriors might mercy rule Cookeville Cavaliers but that is the only way you will see a mercy rule in this game. I guarantee it. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

I do not care what Anderson Mavericks coach said. Elizabethton Cyclones will not mercy rule Anderson Mavericks in this game. It will not happen. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet on it? Anderson Mavericks are too good to get mercy ruled in this game. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

SM will probably keep this one closer than the last matchup but I still say Bees by a few scores

You didn't choose reg 1 Harley? Yes you did. You petitioned the T$$AA to move to region 1 so you could avoid Alcoa in the regular season. GP has always been like water, take the easiest route possible. Heck I remember the old GP coach saying the T$$AA should split the schools into county teams and city teams so he would not have to play AE, Fulton, or Alcoa to go to state. What a bunch of frauds in Gatlinburg. The GP Waterlanders

That rural vs metro notion was breifly a topic....6 years ago....it is a worthy debate. Much like if you have students that pay tuition to go to your "public" school should a multiplier be used??

So i just watched some film on SC...and they look pretty dang impressive...they look pretty big up front...the QB for SC will have to be smart with the ball...the RB looks pretty fast and appears to have good vision and good feet. this could be a hard game to win for City...City will have to bring their "A" game actually their "A+" game...the City QB will have to show up huge and make good decisions, they cannot afford to be lazy on defense at any point against SC from what i watched. SC 35 FC 14

Betsy in a close one on the road. Betsy’ loss to Greeneville may be more of a positive than a negative. They are refocused and you can’t get back at Gvegas unless you take care of business in AC. The 4th of July in November will have no effect on the Hurricanes as they bring their own Black and Orange fireworks to the Clinton area. It’s all about D! Just ask the Hill Toppers. Betsy D front takes over and a dollar bet that Moog (my choice for Mr. Football) will have a personal LB shadow all night. May both teams play clean, the refs call a good game, the fans behave and the dog doesn’t bite anyone.

I like your breakdown brother...

Lol look how quick to were to save face..

Watched the Forrest and Upperman games. My opinion City loses this game by 2 scores minimum. SC is well coached, kids play with tremendous effort across the board. They are very disciplined and speed everywhere. MC won’t be a match for this team if they survive ER either. I don’t think that will happen anyway. City dressed 26 players against MC because half the team was injured by the time they played. City dominated them for 3 quarters and in my opinion the OC cost them the game with his questionable play calling and botched fake punt in 4&1 that they could have picked up in wild cat. OC coaches scared and screen passes won’t cut it, probably one of the worst Coaches I’ve ever witnessed as far as scheme and using his talent. Signal caller has been prone playing terrible in big games. McKenzie last season City had to run wildcat because he was completely overwhelmed with the gravity of the game. They were a bobbled catch away from losing to Forrest. I haven’t witnessed any progression since last year. I would almost argue he’s digressed this year. I think the speed and rush will do the same this week. The receivers at City have made him look better than he is at times. At this level of football he should be shredding defenses apart with his rating, not missing wide open receivers across the field. Last 3 weeks City has had multiple TD’s called back for movement pre-snap, offsides penalties, #8 has averaged at least a fumble in each game he’s played RB. That kind of stuff loses these games. City defense has been prone to get beat on deep passes and often get misaligned or bite on fakes. (Marion County loss) SC made it hard for Upperman to do much after the first drive, I think their QB is better than Willoughby and throws better on the run. SC completely shut down Forrest with speed and hustle. City tends to play hard for a quarter or 2 then loaf around. This is the best skill position team besides Marshall County that City will have faced, possibly faster with exception of 1 guy at Marshall County being recruited by Ole Miss that made them look like a peewee team. The plus I see for city is SC’s line isn’t the best. No attack and stand straight up on the line. It will be close for a few quarters but I think the defense wears down later in the game. Mistakes, missed receivers, and bad playing stop many drives early. I hope I’m wrong, but I call how I see it. SC 28 City 8.

No, getting a top 6 is hard enough and since there are only 6 spots on the podium we'll stick with that.

Blazer don't say that because Betsy and Greeneville may bring that bad luck! It's probably not going to happen since the greatest show on turf may be a much bigger footprint than the Rock top fires.

Everyone knows Putnam Co should win. There is really not much to say.

absolutely, i was following along with the game on friday while we played...i was like Cornersville is staying in it...but then they scored a couple TDs and kind of put it away. But overall, our region did not back down from a challenge...

on a serious note, i hope eagleville hangs in and keeps this close for a while.

Hope your misery lasts for several more years bud.

McMinn County sealed their fate with the way their coach reacted after the Powell loss. They were done at that point.

Collinwood is no push over and has a good opportunity to beat McKenzie this week. Haven't seen Collinwood in person, but I've heard nothing but good things. They have turned it around from the past few years. But at the end of the day, I have to go with the experience of McKenzie. I know this isn't the same team from the past two seasons, but they are use to being on this stage. Rebels get the victory by 2 TDs!

Eagleville has obviously improved throughout the season, but they don’t have enough firepower to stop the Lynchburg Superman. Mr. Football gets it done kinda early and rests the whole 4th qtr in this one. MC-41 Eagleville-19
