Powell did not have a good football team this year before the coaching drama. It will take them several years to recover the mistakes that they have hired over the past five years. Constantly changing head coaches and administrators is not conducive to a winning attitude and program. Powell will lose to Gibbs and then Gibbs will win out the next two games also. Gibbs will finish with four district wins and four losses to put them in the playoffs. Gibbs still has not beaten a good team this season. Gibbs is a good football team and the program has improved tremendously since Brad Conley became the head coach. He is a good role model and motivator.

Has Gibbs HS football team ever beaten a good football team and when?

The Gibbs team weak regular season schedule showed last night at Greeneville. They had not beaten a good team but still made it into the playoffs. This shows how the tssaa playoffs are flawed. These games make money however for the TSSAA organization. The Greeneville defense stuffed the Gibbs qb that had such a good year. This was the best defense and coaching staff that he had faced. Gibbs was out played and definitely out coached. The Greeneville and Fulton game will be a good one but Greeneville will not be able to handle the speed of Fulton. Fulton has some kids that can turn the corner quick on offense and have the size and quickness on defense as well. I will be an exciting game. Good luck to both teams.

What was the final score the last time Gibbs vs Greenville in the first round of the playoffs? The game was at Greenville as it is this year. That is a tough place to play. They have great fan support. This again will be another factor for Gibbs to overcome. The Greenville team has had another good year but are not quite as strong as they were two years ago when they faced Gibbs. The Gibbs team does have a quarter back, a kicker and a back or two that can play but definitely do not have the speed that they had two years ago whey they had the Hibbett kid. The Gibbs quarterback has carried the team this year. He has made big plays out of nothing and has carried the team in scoring. Without him they would not even be in the playoffs. Most of his big plays have resulted in touchdowns. He breaks off at least one or two big runs every game for scores. I hope he has a good game up there but he will face a much better defense than he has seen all season. Gibbs has not beaten a good team this season and will definitely see one this week at Greenville. Good luck to both teams.

Halls HS football program is in real trouble. What is the problem and what can be done? Halls has a tradition of putting a good team on the field. Are the athletes just not there in the school or do they just not want to play anymore?

You are mistaken about last years winners. Powell High School from Knoxville and Unicoi County were about to play in the championship game late Saturday night when a bad lightning storm happened. Powell and Unicoi were declared co-champions of the tournament and game was called because of weather. Powell and Unicoi - co-champions of the tournament 2010.

You left out a score. Powell 1 Soddy Daisy 2 in the Semifinals. Powell played SD tough.

Until looking it up I didn't realize East TN stretched that far myself. Haven't seen Soddy in a couple years, but I've seen most of the teams listed here and I've seen some of the teams from other areas that Soddy has dominated. From the teams mentioned here in ET top 10's, they gave good solid spankings to William Blount, Powell, Farragut and Walker Valley. I would pretty much have to agree with the assessment of 3rdbasecoach. Powell lost to Soddy by a score of 3-1. Powell made two errors to give Soddy one of those runs. That does not suggest a spanking as you say. Soddy is the best aaa team mainly because of their pitching. They will win the state tournament this year. Soddy Daisy is a solid team and as I said will and did win the AAA State Championship. Soddy has the players and Clifford Kirk and his assistant do a great job year after year. Powell lost to Daniel Boone 2 - 0 in the sectional game at Boone. Powell finished 44 and 15 overall and 14 and 2 in district 3AAA.

The winner of the Carter-Gibbs game will probably be in the playoffs. Gibbs will beat Union County by a large margin. UC is struggling big time. Gibbs will lose to Austin-East. The Carter game is really big for Gibbs. Carter is not as strong as in the past. They do have a good running back but offensive line is questionable at times. Their defense is weak in the secondary. Gibbs should beat them tonight. Gibbs has not had a tough schedule. They have become much improved with this coaching staff but have not had to play a good team except Fulton and maybe Gatlinburg Pittman.

Gibbs will beat Union County ----- not Cosby as stated in the previous post. Good luck to the Eagles. Make the playoffs.

Gibbs has not had to play a good Knoxville team yet. GP was the best team so far on their schedule. They are a good team and play hard but cannot compete on the level of the teams in Knoxville yet. The program is much better now with the new coaching staff. Gibbs will beat Cosby, lose to Fulton, A-E and Carter. The Gibbs-GP game was a great effort by the Eagles. They played hard and did not give up even in the overtimes.
