you know that was really stupid start that thread on claiborne so I will start one on your panthers you guy's can talkl all you want trying to put this program down but i promise you claiborne will dominate this series for years to come and i really believe you panther fans know this you just won't admit it.

o.k first of all why would you even start a thread like this it is really not needed. and yes claiborne has beat plenty of people with wininng records and rutledge was not 5-5 the in 06 when claiborne went 8-2. since you started this thread check and see how many of your beloved panthers has beaten with wininng records in that grapfuit leauge of the region they play in it is really weaker than claiborne's region.

yes i think g.p. will win this i have seen grainger play this year and i have to say they are not the old rutledge teams of the past you take mcbee off the team and they are terrible. sorry if i hurt any feelings but this is true i have seen better times in grainger co. so g.p. by 21.

i have seen both teams play and this game will be over at halftime not even close. greenback by a whole bunch union co. has a good team but just not getting it done. maybe they can turn it around but i do not think it will be against greenback they are very good and physical. good luck to both. but i have to say g.b. by 28.

I will agree with you cgfan c.g. does have a good defense shipley does a very good job with that system they run. claiborne has a good defense also that is why i picked such a low score. it may be even lower i do not know. however c.g. has the weapons to go deep at any time. claiborne can not give up the big play. i look for to very good defene's fridaynight and 2 well coached teams.

I totaly agree with you veerman about the spread offense making c.g. a good football team. That's really what's good about that offense the last 10 or so years it has given teams who may not have had a chance against some teams to compete. I hope tp see a close game friday also and I have yet to make a prediction so here goes. I believe this will be a defense game with claiborne winning 14 to 6. however if the fusion kid does not play c.g. could very well win. I heard he hurt his knee in the union co. game and may not play. And as far as cgalum talking about my bell co. days yes I do have a ring and maybe i should not live in the past but a state championship only comes around once in a life time unless you are maryville. and by the way it was 91 not 92. so good luck to both clubs and there fans may the best team win.

I agree veerman I myself am not trying to start an argument. I was just responding to cgalum about claiborne and there kids quiting last year or whatever he was trying to say about last year's game. I enjoy watching all kinds of football games if it's bell, middlesboro, claiborne or c.g. i am just a fan. not to mention i am good friends with coaches at both schools of claiborne and gap. I have known claiborne's D.C. for along time and he is a very good coach. Matter of fact the only time claiborne beat c.g. he was part of the scheme that held c.g. spread to 6 points. I also know the shipley's they are good friends of mine as well. They also are good coaches but coaches can only do so much with what they have that is all I was trying to say.

Veerman I was just responding to I think it was cgfan on when he said cg hit chs in the mouth i was at the game and i really did not see that. So if he wants to use the term smashmouth then use it correctly I really do not think the spread offense has ever been described that way or maybe he was talking about there defense who gave up 35 points to abunch of soph. anyway i was just trying to stand up for these guys over here. It seems these people are very humble over here all of my life i grew up in kentucky but had friends over here. powell valley or cg has always been the laughing stock of the area and always will. they like to think they play football but you really dont until you get a ring stop calling yourself smashmouth football.

I will agree with you panther . this is a huge rivalry and it might be a close game just like last year when evryone thought the panthers would win huge. All I am trying to say to the others is do not get your hopes up because I have seen all of these kids play all different sports for a long time and I know what C.G. is up against.

First of all not my first post just first post under this title. Like I said I do not have a dog in the fight but I have lived in this area for the last 8 years and I do know football. I really do not think C.G. has ever hit anyone in the mouth with there style of football if your looking for that you might need to cross through the tunnel. And for the Shipley coaches the last time I checked they do not have any eligibility left in there high school careers. Also the last time I checked Claiborne has some coaches also. Not to mention what was the shipley's record at chs. All I am saying you can call up Lou Holtz and see if he wants to help C.G and it is not going to matter after friday night. And yea C.G does have an advantage over chs but I think these group of kids at claiborne now has lost to C.G. in football except last year because I know the middle school team as never been beaten by C.G since the new school was built.

horsetrader I have to agree with you on Union Co. They have 2 of the best backs in the area and they did not produce nothing against claiborne. So maybe they can get it together and win some region games. Now about this "splitback" guy who seems to know nothing about this region and should probally stick to his "grapfruit" league of Cumberland Gap the rest of the bunch. I do not know where everyone will finish exactly but I do know that Pigeon Forge will not be in the mix. They are not a very good football team at this time maybe they will get better I do not know. Granger Co. is not very good either they let S.G. beat them come on!!

Are you guys serious? Claiborne shoulc have beat you guys last year with entire team returning and C.G. lost alot of good players. Do not compare scores of C.D. because Fusion did not even play until last series and defense only gave up one T.D. on a long pass from a busted coverage. I thing you guy's are predicting with your hearts not your minds. Claiborne will dominate this series for the next four or five years like or not tha my friends will be a fact!!!!!!
