I'm just guessing, but im not very bright, its usually the money issue...

Been doing a lot of thinking about this game, on paper the Cherokees should roll but like someone mentioned in a earlier post, last years game wasn't a run away. I know Coach Ryan and K Roberts personally when they were both at Seqouyah a few years ago...and I know almost everyone at Sequoyah, my main concern is I just hope there is good, hard hitting football tonight, no cheap shots, no dancing, etc. The game will be won from the sidelines tonight with good preparation and adjustments from the coaches. I love the Chiefs but, Cherokees win 35-7. Good luck to both programs tonight and the rest of the season.

Love to see some excitement for my old stomping grounds (The Emerald Forest), SOR!  Any info on how Kingston looks so far?

thx Charlie

any word on the Greenback and Polk County scrimmage?

Not sure why he even left?  Im sure he would be welcomed back, if he decided to come back.

Coach Ryan is a great coach and will be missed, he was helping the seniors in their recruiting process, the man knows a lot of people.  The players understand (and use to it) that situations for each coach change from year to year, this is the third different offensive coordinator in 3 years, I'm guessing it will be 4 for 4 years coming up, unless Ryan can be lured back?  As far as any other changes, I don't see any other changes coming.  Stability is what Sequoyah needs, before Coach Satterfield, it was a coaching carousel around here and I'm guessing the old ball coach has still got 2 to 3 years left.

My understanding, coaching pay is just not that good in that area, somebody done snagged him up!

Don't think, pay was a issue, nor do I think he has been recruited by another school.

Where's dumdum and ChiefStrong when you need answers bout the goings on with the Chiefs? Have they went into hibernation...

Coach Ryan has stepped away from the program, do not know any details. 

ITS GAMEDAY BABY!!  Everyone be safe on the warpath to Hixson.  GO CHIEFS!!

Back on topic now dumdum what's Hixson look like on film?

One game at a time folks, after me and my boy watched them, I can say this, Hixson seems to play a bend but don't break defense, they keep everything in front of them and hope you do something wrong (turnover, etc...).  Their o-line is big, the right side is the strong side.  They can throw the ball, so don't fall asleep, because they will lull you asleep. Plenty of hard counts, trying to get the easy five yards.  Rugby style punter, that scares me..

On a side note, I appreciate the vote of confidence from the district 5 fans, I'm also pulling for Polk County to go the distance.

I believe the Sequoyah defense has been playing well as of late, like ChiefStrong said 10.8 points allowed over the season, maybe 21 combined points over their last 5 games.  The way both teams run the ball, should be a quick game.  Who can capitalize on turnovers, will be the factor in this game.  GO CHIEFS!!

Well Hixson proved us all wrong, turns out the score could have been a lot worse than the 19-0 final.  Apparently they had 3 turnovers in the red zone.  Congrats to the top 4 seeds in the quads.  Knoxville Catholic has to load the Irish Gold and travel to the top of the hill to face Signal Mountain Screaming Eagles.  Those Wahoos from Sequoyah country will hit the road headed for Hixson to take on the Tigers.  Thoughts on these games?

Thanks ChattanoogaFBFan for the info.  Not going to lie, I like playing one dimensional teams, but trust me when I say we will not forget the pass, learned that lesson against Polk County.  Curious if the turnover bug has been a issue all season or just showed up in the last few weeks?  Also, from what I've heard, Hixson's o-line is pretty good size (a good reason to pound it), do they do a good job blocking?

So what I'm understanding is that Hixson loves the run, 4 yards and a cloud of dust, passes are few and far in between.  4-4 is the base defense.  Finished as district champions.  What I need to know is.  How is  the food at the stadium?  What happened in the Brainerd game?

Sequoyah Chiefs!! With a kid on the team.

Congrats Chiefs on the win over a good Chattanooga Central team.  CC had speed and size and a really good kicker.  Something that worried me before the game was CC's team speed.  Folks the first kickoff was not a onside kick, kicker actually kicked the ground and the tee by accident, the first few Chiefs were way past the ball when it came down.  CC's defense was confusing, 5 man front with 2 outside backers, nothing in the middle for most of the night.  It was a good scheme to come in and shut down our middle run game and try to spill everything to the edge, where their team speed would come into play.  I also give credit to the Pounders, they fought til the end.  It was a physical hitting ballgame, maybe the most our QB has been hit this season.  Chiefs looked well in the first half but things seem to got sloppy in the second.  Again congrats to the Pounders on making the playoffs.  GO CHIEFS!!

Fulton may put up 70 by halftime.  Just curious if this really hurts the gate?

My predictions for the night

Signal Mountain 35

Marshall County 6

(Upset special)

Hixson 14

East Ridge 15

Sequoyah 33

Chattanooga Central 13

Knoxville Catholic 41

DeKalb County 13

How the Chiefs looking in practice?

...Focused...

What happened to her spear? Zero tolerance?

 

And also watch out for the visitor's bleachers, they are awful, no aisle, open to the ground.

You will want to tether your small children.

Zero tolerance, that's funny.

You just have plenty of eats for us cause I'm having visions of sausages and potatoes right now ..fried up with extra grease.

It is very good, but don't miss out on the Bar-B-Q, come hungry, all the cooked meal are located at the north end zone under the tent.  The good restrooms are located in the building on the left as you come in, sorry we only have port-a-johns on the visitors sideline. Watch out for our Indian Warrior riding around on her horse. 

Does anyone know if Chattanooga Central will be bringing a band?

Sorry dumdum just now able to get on here.  I don't think the boys gave up until the 3rd TD.  We had several opportunities to score and really stopped ourselves the first half.  Score could have easily been tied going into half.  #9 suffered a slight concussion and was not the same after that.  QB came out in the 4th but back up did a pretty good job.  A combination of bad things not going our way could just not be overcome.  Chatt. Central has some major speed.  We ended up with 6 or 7 turnovers which was so costly. 

Yeah, friend of mine said that you guys were able to move the ball, then a turnover would happen.  Any word on a coaching change or is everyone happy with the progress of the team?
