No actually and seriously he would make a good LB.

He had 20 offers to play college football as a QB.  20!!! And he shut down his recruiting! He is committed to West Point as a QB (their Qb today is the exact same as Cade) Quit taking away from a kid that will play on Saturdays and fight for our Country! His stats are better than last year

I think this will be a good game!

This will be ugly...

The only thing I’m looking forward to is seeing senior night.

Oh yeah I agree about that. But I feel he purposely chose to not run it. Which IS odd because we do have a pretty good ground game. Part of me thinks he was wanting to prevent injury in prep for Rds 1 and 2. 

I totally 100% agree with you! I said that after the game. Witten knows what he was doing.  Now is what matters.  I think you all will have to have more O balance against AC.  You all have something to prove to them for sure!

They had to forfeit 5 games due to an ineligible player. NE is a good football team.

Thanks lead--- looked weird

25. NE in at 3-6? 

I was thinking the same thing-- really

Cade Ballard

Committed to West Point (FBS)

3.9 GPA

He held 20 offers to play college football before he shut down his recruiting

Through 9 games: 

85% passing completion rate

2125 passing yards

0 interceptions

29 passing touchdowns

9 rushing touchdowns (8.8 yards per carry)

Overall--47 wins 3 losses as a 4 year starter at QB

I am usually one of the few that agrees with DevilMan on here. That being said, If Greeneville was the only team moving their game to Thursday, I would 100% jump on board with those that are saying they are just padding stats. It was the first thing I thought of when I heard they were moving the game to Thursday. However, since everyone else is moving their game to Thursday as well, I am going to rethink my first thought. 

Everyone is moving there games-----   these 28 seniors deserve a Friday night "senior night" and dry hopefully next week----- if they wanted to pad stats they would have left in the starters longer imo and they haven't done that all year

Usually you banter back with something about Greeneville's "weak" schedule. Funny how things change when stats are thrown out. 

It's funny Bud----  Facts are Friendly---

Even though Greeneville had the unstoppable run game EHS still scored 20 on a team that hasn't allowed more than 7 all season. And that was just passing. EHS has a solid running game behind Russell and I'm sure once we get to AC you will see more of a mix than what was shown in the Greeneville game. EHS is better than last year and it looks as if AC has already taken a small step backwards as compared to last year so I wouldn't be counting on making it to RD 3 until after the clock hits 0

I agree with this.....  Betsy abandoned the run game imo not to get anyone hurt---  Just my opinion...  Betsy will not be one sided and more balanced with AC imo

4A is Cade Ballard- Greeneville (better numbers than last year which is unbelievable) and 3A is Walker Russell- Alcoa

Same, I won't make a score prediction until probably the week of. What happened last year was EHS got caught sleeping by AC offense and they scored early and fast and we just couldn't make it up. This year is interesting because it looks like either their D has gotten weaker or their O isn't as strong as last year. I'm going with a weaker D this year as their offense didn't seem to lose many and their QB is always dangerous through the air

IMO your secondary looks better this year

I'm glad you got this thread started.  You are right this will be a great match up if it happens (which I think it will).  What happened to the cyclones last year?  I was surprised the game wasn't as close as expected.  With the mavs not playing anyone its kindof hard to tell how good they are imo (I wished they had at least one team on their schedule as a measuring stick) . Betsy does have something to prove to AC.  I think the game should be a better one.

+1 barb. The thing is they couldn’t stop the short pass or the run game. We were never threatened in this game. They score on 5 out of 7 Times and the other two penalties cost them as they scored. 

Imo no team in 4a will be able to stop the devil offense. On the flip side how many points is it going to take to beat Greeneville? Imo 40 or more. 3tds ain’t gonna do it 

Find some way to take away the ground game and the short screen pass. Then we will burn you with the passing game. Then back to the run game when your playing the pass. 

I too have watched this game twice on TV.  We haven’t had to implement the run game all year!  We have thrown the ball all over teams —bubble and down field.  This game proved to me and probably everyone we have an unstoppable run game and pass game.  We didn’t pull out any crazy plays bc we didn’t have too! Betsy had to take a lot of chances and we didn’t! Devils has 2 touchdowns called back. I respect Betsy’s hard playing players and coaches.  The Devils are scary good bc they haven’t had to show anything on offense bc no one has stopped their bread and butter!  Go Devils!!!  Go Betsy!!!

EHS by 28 they have a lot hurt. So they have got to be some subs playing a lot more than normal.

I hope this is not true!!!!

Cade deserved it last year him and Stanton both did. They had unbelievable year. Think they will both be finalists this year and both will deserve it again. Good luck to Beatsy and Greeneville ..... we should see the loser 2nd round at AC!!!

IMO---The hardest part is all the finalists deserve the award for their accomplishments!  These are unbelievable athletes that have people around them that make them look good that never get the glory these finalists do.  I will always keep up with these young men!  WOW just WOW on what they have accomplished.

They did last year....lol

I know Betsy has great skill players--  My question with them is with their lines (o and d)   anybody got any thoughts on that?

Is Greeneville's pass defense good enough??  anybody got any thoughts on that?

IF and I mean IF Betsy can contain or slow down Cade (no one has yet)---  do they have answers for Youngblood, Hite, Goddard, Gillispe, Albright, Schuffler, Shipley????  anybody got any thoughts on this?

I am so excited about this game!!! Two great programs and communities that respect each other!!! Great players who have competed against each other since middle school!!! It’s going to be electric in Burley this Friday..... Betsy will throw everything at the Devils! Greeneville has not ran Ballard or Youngblood at all bc they haven’t had to. They have executed on offense and defense!  Really proud of these two programs in our region!  I’ve watched a lot of football in my time and these two programs are consistently high class and well coached period!  Go Devils! Cyclones much respect!  

Prayers for an injury free game!

Devils by 2-3 tds

Since when does scouting your biggest competition on a bye week show a sign of being scared? 

It’s smart what I would expect from them  honestly!

Greeneville starters have been been pulled at the end of 1 quarter a few times this year. Ballard was like 5 for 5 passing lastnight with a td each throw lol 

I saw he threw over 200 yards 5/5 and only played first quarter.... kid is a beast

We don’t expect to get any sympathy from you we all know the Devils are the best....there I said it you happy.

I'll say this....  I don't put much stock in scores GHS vs SH and SH against EHS.  I do put stock in this game is a rivalry between two great programs and communities that respect each other.  I do put stock in the devils "d" only allowing 10 points so I know they are tough!  Cade Ballard and company has got the O hummin (lawddddyyyy that run game and pass game).  Devil Coaches have the train "A" movin.  Witten and company will have a great game plan!  Cory R is a great HS player and they have a lot of skill players I feel like that are better than last year....  

Can EHS keep Cade Ballard and the offense off the field?

Can the devil "d" hold the skill guys in check?

I will always pull for my devils, but the Cyclones have my respect on many levels!

GO DEVILS

Will the weather (hurricane) have an effect on this game???  Play on Thursday???  Any word or thoughts???
