    Underestimating your opponent. Can talk about what ifs all day. They won for sure. But those who watched and were their know. Pearl was two clear fumbles blown down and one drop from being at home. I hope they win it for sure 

    So y’all going to act like our player didn’t drop a wide open pass, that would’ve put PC up by 14 late in that game?

    If they come and play like that have all season (beside the horrible first half last week against RB).  I believe they are, they have put up balanced numbers all year and QB has thrown for almost 4,000 Yards on the year and up for Mr. Football.  I believe AC also has faced a tougher schedule to put up those numbers than Haywood did too.
     

    Everyone keeps talking about Speed and everyone knows PC has it but it’s not like AC hasn’t faced teams with Speed this year (Powell, Science Hill, Fulton, Greeneville, Elizabethton, and Redbank all had speed) and have some of their own.  What AC does well is Swarm towards the Ball and can read the line really well to tell where the ball is going.  They have a MLB that is committed to Navy and are pretty big across the board.

    It’s a difference between having speed and using your speed! We’ll see Saturday tho.

    When they get on the field, you’ll be surprised by their speed. All the Springfield and Haywood people were saying the same thing in 19 and 20 about Elizabethton. Speed was not an issue. Cyclones had plenty to spare. HERE is the real issue. Line of scrimmage. Which team can control it? The one that does can take the win. Skill positions are fun to watch, offenses are exciting, but defense and line play can be the deciding factor. I know I’ll be watching Saturday for sure. PC got away from Alcoa (rightly so too). Now, it’s their biggest opportunity. But, same can be said for AC getting by Betsy and the Greene Devils. I speculate it’s going to be a great game.

    People have to stop saying PC got away from Alcoa. That year that PC, Milan and South Gibson move up, everyone including Alcoa fans thought they were also!

    I went off of unapproved website. And there's always a chance those are inaccurate. But, I stand by my prediction. Based on the lack of defense shown by PC (or either team really) in that semifinal game. 

    So you’re basing your prediction off our semifinal game? That offense was tough, that no huddle Haywood runs is difficult to stop. So is AC offense better than Haywood?

    You mean the Tomcat team that threw for under 200yds, 1TD and 1int on the season? Man, that ain’t awesome. That’s a one dimensional team. And I didn’t see any defense in that semifinal game from either side. I’ll call it now. AC is a more complete team. That can play defense. Defense wins championships. The offensive side just happens to be good too. AC gets their first Title on Saturday. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong. But that’s how I’m viewing it.

    We’ll see Saturday!!

    These activities are permitted:

    • before the game begins;
    • during the contest up until the Center touches the ball or the Kicker strikes the ball on a free kick;
    • during time-outs, except injury time-outs;
    • between quarters;
    • at halftime of the contest;
    • at the end of the contest.

    If any of these activities continues outside of the designated times listed above, it can be considered an 'unfair act' under NFHS Football Rule 9-9-1 and could result in a 15-yard penalty being assessed to the head football coach of the offending school for unsportsmanlike conduct.

    It’s not saying nothing about the band!!

    Dude, when y'all got off the bus to play Milan a few years I ago, I was in shock an all of the sheer size of the boys that kept piling of that bus. It was unbelievable. 

    It will unfold Friday night! From what we’re hearing, Haywood already in booking hotel in Chattanooga!!

    Ain’t nobody scared of us lol. One thing I can say is we get most team best because they wanna knock us off. It will be an adjustment period for both teams with the speed and size of each team. First team who adjust will have the upper hand. 

    This I agree with! All this talk about we intimidating teams is nonsense. Covington guy still talking about a game that happened in 2017…smh, our boys coming to play and we’ll see how it unfolds Friday night around 10pm!!!

    I think Pearl Cohn's role is reversed this week, and that their defense just can't slow down the Tomcats enough for their own offense to match them. They are athletic and disciplined, just not quite on the same level as Haywood.

    Interesting! We’ll see Friday night when we pull up.
