It's kinda nice when you have the presence fo mind to stay on track and take care of this past Friday's business, while knowing all along that the match-up you really wanted was the one you Cyclones earned for this Friday. Sullivan East. Knowing that is what the Cherokee game was all about (getting back to East) was the carrot that hung out there for the Betsy boys to get after. That carrot from up in Bluff City. Well, now you are where you wanted to get. To avenge two unexpected loses to a very good East team. Nice little piece of motivation. There should be no problem being right for this game. Go to work, this is business. thumb PS Be sure to have some fun too!!

Think Cherokee has played 3 teams with above .500 wins. Also 3 teams with only one win each. Betsy has played 5 with .500 or better and the worse team on the schedule had won 3 games. It's like you said though, it's all on the field Friday between two pretty evenly matched teams. Different, but well matched. Just my little opionion. Disclaimer: facts and figures may not be correct. Please feel free to correct me.

The IMAC will be swept by the MT. Lakes Conference with the exception of Greeneville upsetting Sullivan East. TN. High beats Morristown West Elizabethton beats Cherokee Sullivan South beats Morristown East Greeneville upsets Sullivan East Only Friday night at about 10P will anyone know for sure.

Burrrrrrrr, I know that Cherokee won the IMAC, but I hadn't heard that they were favored to win this match-up. I do know that the MT. Lakes tore into the IMAC this year which was a reversal from last year's results. Being that the IMAC did not fair too well against outside the conference teams, I feel this game is against two totally different styled teams, but teams that should be pretty evenly matched when put head to head. A win by either should be no surprise, even if it takes 4 overtimes, which I seriously doubt. If Elizabethton can slow them down between the tackles, they have the game. Otherwise, it will be a long night for the Cyclones. I'll go with Nave to cover that territory in the middle, counting on the interior defensive line to keep people off of him. That is a must for a Cyclone victory. Cyclones 23-21 Should be the best game in the area to watch this Friday night.

Somebody go fetch the Unaka posters from the basketball forum. Heck, this isn't any fun!

1 Elizabethton 2 TN High 3 Johnson Co 4 S. South 5 S. Central 6 D. Boone 7 S. North 8 Unicoi Anybody's guess except the top two. 3 & 4 will be a battleground.

THIS IS FINAL BURRRRRR TN High vs. East winner gets first, loser second third goes to South fourth goes to Elizabethton (South and Betsy both are 4-3 in conference. South gets the tie-breaker with an earlier win over the Cyclones) Johnson Co. is out. Their conference record is 3-4. again, final standings and they were set before these last games.

MrBean, Looks like Betsy at Cherokee.

Well, I thought it would be close in the first half, but Think I said 31-24 Cyclones What we got was 16-7 Cyclones and it was tied 7-7 at the break. Not exactly what the faithful were looking for. No execution. Way too many breakdowns. Good "pick me up" Smith. Should have seen more time, but thanks for the effort. Betsy at Cherokee might mean trouble for the Cylcones.

The Scout says, look out in the first half. Cyclones won't pull away until the second in a closer than expected game. Unicoi has been waiting on this game for 3-4 weeks. It is like a playoff game to them. Cyclones 31-24

Hope you do better in '05, but there are a few front runners and that doesn't include the Cougars. Maybe '07 might help out, but -05 &-06 are going to be black & orange in the MLC. It is spelled CYCLONES. Good luck in your quest and hopefully a win this year will bring back a bit of pride in Blountville but don't count on it. Boone 28-14 Truthfully, good luck. You guys need it.

Enjoy THS, cause the party is over after this year. Same for East. Good luck to both Friday night and I hope everyone comes out in one piece.

You Patties aren't going to be very happy late Friday night. Sorry.

Just how tough is Betsy? Unicoi is looking to upset the Cyclones. Can it happen? Is Betsy's defense ready for the post-season? Can the offense take care of the ball? Is there a communication break-down in the Betsy camp? What's your take?

Good point Dog. No height in the recievers, but speed and "shiftyness" is abundant. Now on to the Scout's prediction. In an upset, Central got you on that one. Cyclones 24-14 (Central gets shut out in the second half)
