  1. Just reminding everyone that all playoff games in all classes start @7:00 pm not 7:30 as it was in the regular season. Good luck to all players and I hope everyone travels saftley.
  2. After watching both teams play this year I think we are in for a good ballgame up at the GAP friday night. Oliver Springs is a classic running football team (ISO's, leads, counter's, traps, etc.) and a tough defense that has two good middle LB's (I believe they are twins, literally). Cumberland Gap's offense is a spread 'em and pick you apart, but they do it with a good running game that complements the pass extremely well. Their defense is sound but sometimes it takes them a few series to run on all cylinders. This will be a close ball game early, with O.S. putting up a few TD's early but their defense is also going to give up some big plays to C. Gap. Second half belongs to the Gap defense. Cumberland Gap - 32 Oliver Springs - 14
  3. You got to be pretty good to beat Cloudland up on the mountain. Midway has a tough team but I don't think they can get it done. Cloudland - 35 Midway - 21
  4. We should see the young kids in the 2nd qtr. if things go as they are expected to. CUMBERLAND GAP - 63 WEST GREENE - 6
  5. You guys are right, I will be chearing for every team in region 1 in the playoffs. Good luck and wasn't this fun!?
  6. Congrats to the panther players, coaches, and fans. Region champs in just three years, now thats a good job with the small things and a great job overall. I hope to see ya take care of business with West Greene and go in to the playoffs healthy. Now, Dukes of Hazzard: You must be one of the following four people: ONE, your kid plays at South Greene or Happy Valley and going in to the season you were thinking, "my son is the best thing ever, and I can't wait to see him run out of the 'T' when he plays college ball, but only after we win the state championship this year." If South Greene, when you lost to CGHS you thought, the refs stole this game! No that isnt it, are kids just didn't play well, yeah ,thats it. We are better than Cumberland Gap! YES! They are losers and we should actually win the region just because we didn't play well. We will get them in the playoffs and they will suffer! Rebels forever. If Happy Valley, well the same thing applies. or TWO, you are either a former player who never got to play or you are a player now who doesn't get to play but you chear on your team with pride and stupidty, which goes hand in hand when it comes to you. Every practice you played hard knowing your shot might someday come only to have it nullified by making the All F honor roll again this six weeks. Well maybe you had one A, shop class or resource math. Thats ok to, since you are on the 5 year plan which is needed to work in the fast paced world of hot grease, drinking straws, and sweeping parking lots. By the way, do you want fries with that? or THREE, you are Laws himself, his parent, or his bestfriend. It dosen't matter which, because the same high opinon of the "great" Laws is needed. Wow, that takes concentration and you should maybe set down before you pass out from the complete foucs you have on the mirror in front of you. You are driving down the road listening to Hells Bells dreaming of running through every defender and making every tackle on defense, WATCH OUT! You hear a sudden and long horn, its the person who you just ran off the road, which person is also telling you that you are number one. Which you agree to. FOUR, you are a H.V. player who still can't believe that CGHS beat ya. So to make yourself feel better you talk about how good South Greene is now, and how they would have beat us if they played well. That way you think in you heart that you are actually second in the region. If only.... I don't know which one you are. You could be a little bit of each one or I may be completly off. It dosen't matter, I enjoyed making fun of you. Thank you for being you and putting yourself up on the message board. Your are awesome. Also, thanks for the comments and region championship. We will happily take the championship knowing we played every Friday night, and you....well you played every Friday night too, except one. Thanks for not showing up when you needed to. p.s. "Dukes of Hazzard", is that where you live or do you just want to live there? Just checking.
  7. O.k. its their biggest game of the year, but South Greene still beats them, and because its a rival game, I give them 40 + points. The only way they don't is if South Greene takes it easy on them. I am not saying this because I like or dislike West or South Greene. In fact I really could care less about either school, but that dosen't stop the reality of this game and the fact that South Greene is playing great with some talented players and West Greene is playing awful with some kids that are playing hard but with not much else. South Greene wins this by, lets say 45 points. If I am wrong, I will be the first to apoligize and admit that I was wrong. Good luck and I hope no one gets hurt for either team.
  8. With the way South Greene has been playing, and the way West Greene has been playing, then West Greene will not even see the milk can. South Greene will win this one by 50 points.
  9. Considering the schools mentioned berfore, do the middles school and little league programs have a good connection w/ the high school program? Do they run the same basic offense/defense so that they don't have to re-teach the kids as Freshman? Does the high school have a say in the middle school programs?
  10. I hope the boys are focused, because G-P can throw the ball a lot better than North Greene and I don't have to mention what happened in the first half of that game do I. In saying that, the defense is playing great ball and a little hic-up is good for ya, makes you realize the importance of not over looking anyone and playing your game on every play. I hope its a good game and I hope the panthers remember the last trip to G-P, they scored 72 points. They are looking to do the same thing this year, but don't get on here and tell me that your going to stop them, show me Friday night. Don't put the cart before the horse. Anyone who is talking about a Cumberland Gap/Alcoa matchup is forgetting that game would be 5 games away and we are only guarented 3 games as of right now. Cumberland Gap - 47 Gatlinburg-Pittman - 22
  11. I am just wondering what small towns or communties have good football programs and what makes them good? Examples are like Cloudland, Onieda, Greenback, South Pitt., etc. I don't know many in middle and west Tennessee so who are you? Just because they are down this year or have been down the last few years dosen't mean they don't have an overall good program. So mention these schools to.
  12. Well the Panthers come into the game knowing that the Region championship is in their hands, I expect to see a focused defense and an offense running on all cylinders. Don't over look this game, North Greene can beat ya if ya don't play your game. Cumberland Gap - 35 North Greene - 7
  13. Just to let everyone know that this wasn't a one time thing with Union County, I have seen two incidents by Union County players over the last three years that are much worse than what happened at Carter Friday night I have been involved in high school football for 15 years and I know that every now and then every team has a player that acts stupid, but this childish behavior happens way too much with them. A team plays and acts like the adults coaching them. When you have a good coaching staff that will teach and show the players that good sportsmanship is an essitinal part of the game, then you will have players that give their all and keep control of their emotions. Apparently, Union County has the opposite.
  14. I went to and coached at Powell Valley High school located in Speedwell TN. The last school year was 2002-2003. We combined with Forge Ridge High School to make the new Cumberland Gap High School.
  15. Carter should be able to jump on Union Co, pretty quick. Union Co. played well last week but Carter has a better team overall. I haven't seen either team play a regular season game but Union Co. had some problems in the summer that are showing in their record this season. BigCJones40, man get a life. This thread is about a game, not your personal dislikes. If you don't like Carter then you need to start your own thread about that. Who cares if they couldn't win in 4a ball, they are in 3a now.
  16. I hope everyone on the Panther roster realizes the importance of playing up to your potential Firday night and not playing down to your competition. Thomas Walker is not the best team in the world but that doesn't mean you can't lose the ball game to them. Remember what the old wise man said: "Don't ever let your maximum effort be only the minimum effort required to do the task!" Explanation: take care of business with pride, and give it your all. With that said, my prediction: Cumberland Gap - 54 Thomas Walker - 12
  17. My first guess would be because they have 4 definite and possibly 1 or 2 more players going to play in division 1 ball. No one can say the coaching is good or bad because any coach or coaching staff with that many quality players will look good. I don't pull for Alcoa but I know that they are good enough to beat most or possibly anybody in 2a if they play as a team.
  18. Cumberland Gap - 37, Happy Valley - 30 Good job Panthers, that was a great game and the same can be said to the Warriors. Two good teams putting it on the line. Heck of a job on both sides of the ball.
  19. I was an assistant coach for five years. I was hired but the school board as a student assistant when I was in school. You have to take the tssaa classes to be certified, which its a good thing to do. After 5 years as an official assistant coach (meaning you are on record with the TSSAA as an assistant), the tssaa now allows you to be a head coach without being part of the school system. It was designed to help the smaller schools have head coaches when none of the school faculty or staff wanted to coach.
  20. Its about time for the game and I am ready to go watch two good teams play their best and the better team walking off the field with the victory. With that being said, how does Cumberland Gap adjust to the speed of the Happy Valleys' skill receivers and the strength of a running back who has got decent speed but his legs keep moving like a grinder? How does the Cumberland Gap offense adjust to a faster defense? Do they throw to the holes or do they tempt the deep ball? Do they run the ball more than they have all year? Does the Happey Valley offense run straight at the Cumberland Gap defense (who has only allowed one tochdown on the varsity past the 2 min. mark in the 2nd qt.)or do they continue to throw the ball to the sidelines letting the speed do the work? Does the Happy Valley defense set back in a zone or do they pin their ears back and go after Hoskins? Who knows! Lets get this game going and let the players decide who the region favorite is. My prediction: Cumberland Gap - 27 Happy Valley - 14
  21. Wow, there's a lot of posts on this subject. Defense, defense, defense! I don't think anybody can doubt that both offenses can put up some points, but the key is defense. Which team can make the opposing qb get out of rythem? I still give Cumberland Gap 2 points on this one. I will make my final pick for the game tomorrow night.
  22. This is going to be a great game. I have seen both teams play and they both do a good job on offense and defense. From what I have seen, I give just a small nod to Cumberland Gap in this one. The offense of C.G. is getting harder and harder to stop each game. That doesn't mean Happy Valley isn't capable of winning, or even dominating. I just think right now C.G's offense is running a lot smoother than H.Valley. J. County was able to shut the running game down early making H. Valley throw the ball more than they looked comfortable doing. I don't put much into homecoming stuff, espically since the winner of this game is # 1 in the region. Region champs is a lot more motivating than homecoming. Good luck to both sides. Which ever defense prepare's the best is going to win. Cumberland Gap by 2 (I probably will change my prediction later this week)
  23. How about those Panthers! C. Gap-37 Claiborne-6. This was such a good game. The Panther defense shut down Claiborne like they were a middle school team. You take away the Claiborne drive at the end to score, and Claiborne dosen't even have 100 yards of defense. I would like to see those stats. Who knew that Ryan Hoskins has quick feet to compliment the arm he has, plus he made some smart plays. Great qb. The Gap had a great game and everyone played well, the only thing I wish was that golden toe Marty Sellers would have made his field goal attempt to go along with his 5 for 5 in extra points. Now its time for Happy Valley, the winner gets 1st place in the region. I'm going up to the game just to cheer 'em on. Good luck!
  24. I would like to see Cosby win, I've played and coached against Cosby and they got some great kids and fans. With that said, Chuckey-Doak has some good players, espically # 4, so they have the edge in the game. Good luck to the Cosby players tonight.
  25. I think I will change my prediction. Cumberland Gap - 35 Claiborne - 13 After thinking about both teams, I just don't see Claiborne stopping both the run and pass. The Gap is to good in both areas. Claiborne is good offensively, but they don't have the strongest passing game, and if C.G. stops or slows down the run then its lights out for the dawgs. They just lack the offensive and defensive schemes to handle Cumberland Gap. LETS PLAY SOME BALL!
