  1. To address some of these blatantly bogus accusations I would like to begin with the fact that we are in the semifinals of the state football championships. To imply refs would openly cheat for a team is asinine in and of itself. Refs miss calls in every game at every level. I for one think they made some bad calls both ways and I will list a couple that went against Rhea County. On one of West's first three drives there was a big pass interference call that went against Rhea County where the safety timed his hit perfectly and was called for a bogus penalty. That was 3rd down and 15. West scored a touchdown on a quarterback tuck and run on a 3rd and 17, where I counted at least 2 blatant holding infractions. So while you are saying the score should have been 35-0 at the half minimum, I would respectfully like to disagree and say it should have been maximum 14-0. Did I mention that Rhea County lost 3 fumbles in the first half as well. West completely outplayed Rhea County in the first half, but they had some assistance on their way to the 28-0 half time lead. On to the second half and the calls in question. We fumbled a kick off and due to your incompetence in the special teams as you committed a substitution infraction resulting in a re-kick. That is not cheating that is making you follow the rules. The only really strange call was on the interception that West would have eventually returned for a touchdown. The call was the correct call. It should just have not been blown dead. There was a offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct on both teams which meant the down would be replayed. That doesn't seem like cheating to me either. A touchdown thrown to a tackle? Number 85 plays end and also had two touchdowns against Oak Ridge. Finally.. Rhea's last first down was obvious pass interference, and we run the wing-t, so the motion penalty you are looking for is actually a back in motion. Also if you want to complain about losing your best defensive player on the first play of the game go ahead. Rhea lost it's most dominating physical presence on both sides of the ball in Jacob Williams in the first half. He didn't play after half time. Why can't you people just give all the credit to the kids on both sides of the ball, for playing their guts out for a chance to win it all. Refs didn't win or lose this game it was decided by the coaches, and their preparation for this moment. Congratulations West and good luck next week.

  4. Any word from East Hamilton? Who are the names floating around?
  5. Funny...I recall a couple years ago where Stone got hosed in a district championship game and the classless whining was coming from the Panther faithful... What comes around goes around...
  6. So did Rhea just out talent Ooltewah or out coach them?
  7. Congratulations boys on a great win. Way to go. Now go get Ooltewah.
  8. Do you think coaches really care about politics over winning? All coaches play the players who believe deep down are the players that give them the best chance to win. End of story! To believe otherwise is simply assinine. If two players are equal, and I'm the coach, I'm going to play the one who has worked the hardest. Coaches know who has put the time in and deserves to play.
  9. I don't just get on here and post senseless comments that have no backing...I gave you some concrete stats. These guys are developing players. I know in particular that one of the starting wideouts has dropped his 40 time 3 tenths since this time last year, so don't tell me they are not getting developed. They are just really slow to start with. Also I did a little research, rather than just spout off nonsensical comments based strictly on emotion and your dislike for the coaching staff. In 2007, an average year by your standards, did you know that the Eagles were 5-1 against sub .500 teams. Sounds like they were beating who they were supposed to beat. In 2009 - the worst year in forever, they were 2-2 against sub .500 teams. So in those two years of down time Jason Fitzgerald and his staff are 7-3 against the teams you call bad. The year that we had talent and went to the quarterfinals 8/13 teams on the schedule had .500 or better records. Just analyze last years schedule. 6 teams had a .500 record or better. We went .500 against the other 4. We are competing with or beating the teams that have the same athletes as us. PERIOD....These are facts not emotions. Get over it...These coaches can teach football...That's all you need to know...
  10. I think it is comical how parents and former players get on here and state their opinions. It really doesn't matter what you say on a message board. You are not at the practices. You don't know who the best players are. Most of you have no clue what an athlete even looks like especially if you think we have them. Let me ask you a couple of questions. How tall is our tallest wide receiver? How fast is our fastest player? What is the vertical jump of our best athlete? What is the combined squat, bench, and power clean weight of our stongest player? I don't know the answers to all these questions, but I know a few. Tallest wideout is 5'9 and that is stretching it. The fastest guy on the team may run a 4.8 40, and that too is stretching it a bit. The highest vertical on the team might be 25 inches. Combine that with the fact that our best lineman and running back can't even drive yet. These are not eye popping stats athletically for a 6A school or any school for that matter. I can guarantee that these coaches are doing the best job they can with what they have. They take average athletes and compete and win against every other team with the same level talent. Should we have beaten the number 1 and the number 4 ranked teams in the state? Heck no. Just like Tennessee had no business beating Oregon. Did Rhea County compete against or beat the other two teams they have played? Yes. Face it people. Good coaching can only do so much. I'm not trying to put down the kids either. They are doing the best job they are capable of also. It's just a down time. That's reality.
  11. Never said we weren't a football school. I've been here all year. I just hardly ever post. Good Luck Golden Eagles tonight. It would be nice to close the season with a win.
  12. WE know our team, you do not so don't pretend to. Oh, and don't expect much from our basketball season, either. It stinks, too. Rhea County Eagle Fan. You speak about school and community pride in one post and then you come right back and bash a group of the hardest working kids in the school before they have even played a game. Pretty pathetic if you ask me. Good luck Eagle Basketball and Eagle Football. Last I checked we were all Eagles. RIGHT?
  13. "unless csas gets sime big time transfers like mccallie " Don't throw the word transfer out there so loosly....RECRUITS would fit more apropriately.
  14. Cleveland should be the front runner from 5AAA. Bradley, Rhea, Ooltewah and Walker Valley should battle for the other region spots.
