Great effort on defense last night. Be nice to get our 1st win versus Sooddy.

I will have to back gridiron on this one. Don't know what Coach Fitzgerald ever did to you but it must be personal. Because all you have ever done is complain. Coach has moved on. You are the one who is miserable. As RC said he has been out in the open why he resigned from the beginning. You are the one hiding behind a name. You make us true Rhea County fans ashamed. Grow up! And by the way make that 3 screen names i guess.

Tommy Mitchell Jeremy Fitzgerald Heath Ware-Asst 9th grade coach at Ooltewah last few years Coach From Al

ryan thats enough

Doug Green has been offered!Waiting on answe.

Great hire! MATURITY! Interesting 3 days! I wondered how you could say great hire when you have never met the man.

Like anything could be a home run could be a strikeout. This will be his 31st yr as head coach. Doesn't look like he stays long but you never know 1 yr stops Muscle Shoals Alabama 0-10 South Jones Mississippi 4-6 Pike County Al 6-6 Worth County Ga 3-8 2 yr stop at Grenneville Alabama 3 yr stop at Lawrence County Mississippi 30-6 won a State Championship 8 yrs at Winfield So he has won a State Championship and has gone 0-10. I guess we will see!

Glen Ryan 2-1 Former Soddy Coach Danny Adams 4-1 Retired from State of Alabama Jeremy Boskin 6-1 WR Coach Science Hill Former Marine Doug Greene 10-1 Played at Cleveland Coached at many diff schools Jerry Cook 20-1 Former Player Who do you think?

TALENT!!!!! 80's David Douglas UT,CinCin Bengals,New England Patriots Steve Douglas UT high school All-American David Johnson Played defensive tackle at UT Jay Fischeser Vanderbilt Charlie Benton UT Jesse Messimer UT Jason Fitzgerald Auburn Andy Kelly UT, Steelers, Cardinals, All time passing leader arena league HS All-American Steve Cochran Carson Newman david Fischeser ETSU Gary Reeves ETSU Patrick Everett MTSU Todd Jackson MTSU Joe Kelly UTC Sandy Mccuiston UTC Phil Pankey UTC These are full ride scholarship players! 8 players signed to play in SEC! Your quote"better than talent in the 80's" Not sure how muuch you know in the 80's all we did was run the ball Why have passing records been broken because the game has changed it has become more wide open! Again check facts before you open mouth! Since you know so much also tell me who had more talent than Alonzo and Jamie. You probably don't know their last name. True RHEA COUNTY FANS DO. WHO HAD MORE TALENT THAN THESE TWO!

Listen say what you want to but get your facts straight. He did not win 1 region championship he won two. Never beat Mcminn? Guess you were not in athens last year! Pemberton was a great coach. went to the quarterfinals twice after pemberton and won a region championship. Once with ruehling as OC once with Cameron.Brad Payne 3-7,4-6,4-6,9-4. Hamontree 11-11 fitzgerald 66-48 You are entitled to your opinion but know your facts. The only time Rhea has been dominant year after year was 85,86,88,89,90 look at those rosters. Just the facts!!1

lose, lose not really its a win win this sr bunch is a group that plays with great heart and seems to love it. who cares who we play sounds like they called us and its just another chance for these kids to play. cant wait to watch them play 1 more time. sometimes its just about getting to put the uniform on 1 more time for these kids most of the srs will never get to play again. im glad the boys get anothergame. 1a 2a 6a middle school. its a bowl game who cares. best of luck this week guys. last time we will get to see that sherrill boy play!!!! by the way clinton you got yours a couple of years ago in evensville!!! so quit trying to stir the pot!!!!

Part of your statement is true he was a good coach his first stint here. The reason why Rhea County was so successful was BILL HORTON PERIOD!!!! Also great players benton, douglas, douglas, messimer, johnson, fischesser, kelly, fitzgerald, jackson, everett, and the list goes on. Bill had 7 players sign SEC scholarships. Great players make great coaches. You think Bill and Tim forgot how to coach when they went 1-9 or 4-6 back to back???? I guess the patriots is just great coaching or the cowboys with emmitt, micheal, and troy. or alabama with ingram, richardson, arenas and so on. I guess the miami heat are going to be good because of their coaching. Could phil jackson win the Nba championship minus micheal or kobe? From 85-90 we had great success besides those years Rhea County is a .500 football team. Check it out. We have always had players that play hard and give everything they have on that field. When we are lucky enough to put some great players with that we have great teams thats sports. Are the coaches we have the best staff in the state the answer is no. When we have won a region championship or been to the quarterfinals it has been because of the talent that has gone along with the coaching. Name a coach that has won a championship that did not have great talent. It doesn't happen. There is also no way to equate the success at Noth Gwinnett with Hammontree.He was 22-29 at North Gwinnett,11-11 at Rhea. Look at the background the coach now has. You probably have no Idea who he is. Go back and do some research on KY high school football. This man aint living off hammontree. George Quarles enough said. Hamoontree won the state after he hired George Quarles. Yes he was a good coach when he was here the first time, not the second. Ask the players who played for him. Better yet ask the players who played for him in the 80's how they were treated when he came back. Dont live off the 80's those times are gone! Relish those times but don't compare the makeup and actions of our county have changed tremendously since then.

For the record are you talking about the unemployed, can't find a teaching or coaching job, stole 20000 from booster club while here, 11-11 no playoff wins here, nobody would give money too while at maryville, look at north gwinnett now hammontree? Check those facts!!!

For the record would that be the unemployed, can't find a job, stole 20,000 from booster club 11-11 while he was here, no playoff wins, look at North Gwinnett after he left hammontree? Check those facts!!

eagle pride you are right about the fake punt. After the game though coach Fitzgerald took full responsibility and told the guys this game was totally on him because of that call! lets get Bradley

ole supereagle just like always took him two hours to post after a loss and three days for him to show up after a win and when he speaks always has something negative to say. search all his posts and see if there isnt something negative in all of them. Pretty classy for a guy who quit the team after his freshman year!

supereagle did you graduate with bartley and rothwell or after them!

Knowing coach and his wife I think it is a pretty sorry move to get on here and talk about a mans wife. If some don't like her than she is probably doing what she is suppose to. I think she is teaching at Chattanooga State. Grow up a little bit anyway you have never had a kid in her classroom you are way to old!!! If you want to get on coach do it thats what these boards are for but keep his family out of it!!

Best Maryville team ever take a pick of 5 or 6. Seen my golden Eagles over the last ten years play many great teams at Maryville!

is Greg Ryan on staff

There are some great players in the state of tennessee

Is coach kisabeth still in administration? What about the collins brothers where are they?

Mr. greene called coach fitz today and he turned them down. Said that is the most unorganized search he has ever seen!

Basically bacon is saying Tim Daniels to OR and another coach going from a marion county school to a bradley county school is this correct bacon!!!

Super I have read your posts all year! The only thing Rhea fans should apologize for are dumb ... fans like you. Undisciplined, bad defense, play calling awful, seems like you just pick stuff out. Defense was really bad gave up 14 7, and 13. Didn't allow Maryville a touchdown until the 4th quarter. Undisciplined from a fan stand point this may have been the least penalized team I can remember. Don't ever remember a personal foul penalty on our team. Yet Maryville has one and you say they have great discipline. 10-3 Region Champs and playing toe to toe with the 4 in a row state champs. That is truly an awful job Coach Fitzgerald. Some of you will never be happy. And classless that would be u when you hide behind a screen name and use the words stupid and idiots. You my friend are classless. Before you get on the hammontree kick anybody that would steal $20,000 from a football program that is classless so I guess you would understand that!!!! To all you players who read this thanks for the great memories you provided us fans on friday nights. Seniors you will be truly missed!!!
