Until SC gets the size players a Riverdale or other power house teams have the Wing T is your chance to beat the big boys.

Tough loss again WH. Your team is good hang in there. You fans have seen some great games. They remind me of a pro team that wears blue in town.

Yep it's a little diff playing the big boy league! The problem is Coach Holly is trying to play like we are still in AAA(the old 3A),that won't work, abandon the wing-T and switch the offense to the spread, work on getting the DB's to stop looking at what the quarterback is doing and pay attention to the wr they are assigned to. Doesn't Riverdale run the Wing-T?

Yep it's a little diff playing the big boy league!

Congrats Rebels looks like your ahead of schedule. I thought it would take your team a few years to dominate 6A. It looked like the Dogs had a good team. So will Farragut expect the same whippin?

Husker don't forget 2009 Ooltewah vs Franklin W 19-3 Free as a bird I din't think the Farragut fans were argueing about losing to Riverdale. It was a great close game. Unlike the Frankl;in game,

I looked at it and thought the same thing. Compared to the Oak Ridge and Farragut teams they used to have to go against their new regional foes are weak. I will give the Owls credit for taking on Maplewood and Franklin to give their team some work.

Here is something to think about. Goodpasture has beat some of the largest programs in Middle TN. I think they have beat Ravenwood every time they have faced them. Take a look what little ole Alcoa has done to Goodpasture in the Championship game the last few years. This is the 1st year Alcoa beat Maryville. They play some tough football in the Knoxville area also with a slew of State Championship programs that could beat some of the 6A programs on a given night. Alcoa, Maryville, Austin East, Fulton, Knox Chatolic have all brought home State Championships in recent TN football history. By County I would rank it by # of Championship cal teams over the last 5 years: 1, Rutherford 2, Blount 3. Knox 4. Williamson

I showed you the facts. That the east TN teams have been in the hunt for the gold ball and that their Semi finals game agaisnt the Rutherford Co teams was ususally the close game and better game prior to state championship game. If thats not enough I showed you where 33% of the state champs ver the last 19 years came from E TN area. Counting Germantown it's 40% of the time Middle did not win 5A. What don't U get? The Brentwood/Franklin area teams have showed the are tops also but give the Oak Ridge, Ooltewah, Beardens, Farragut, Sevier Co, and other top teams ovewr the last 10 years their due. However I do think the future power will be Maryville, Ooltewah etc. Farragut will be on the decline IMHO over the next 5 years, To many great private schools, rezoning and new public schools sucking their talent base away BTW-This weeks AP Top 10 have half the top teams are E.TN . Class 6A School__Record__Pts__Prv_ 1. Ooltewah (18) __5-0_____205__2___ 2. Bearden __5-0_____149__3___ 3. Blackman (1) __6-0_____140__5___ 4. Riverdale (1) __5-1_____138__9___ 5.

To answer your question - NEVER. A team from East TN has never won a 6A State Championship and the EAST has never been represented in the state final game. When is the last time a team from Rutherford County won a 6A State Championship? NEVER. This is 6A's first year. Thank U. U R a Winner!

It does matter if you get beat by 3 or 30. Did you ever play? 2005 Oak Ridge lost to Ravenwood in a close game. These teams won the Highest Division in TN 5A prior to this year. 2003 Germantown won state 2000 Red Bank Class 5A (15-0) 27-7 1999 Sevier County Class 5A INHO-The bracket system is the only reason Williamson County teams have had the chance to make to the Championship game over the last 6 years. Years ago TSSAA had the same problem in soccer. The 2 best teams were in the same region and only one had the chance to go to state. Bearden/Farragut When they changed the rules both teams had the chance to make to state and win. Prior to that Farragut would loose a close one and Bearden would go on to win state and most years domonate. Yes Williamson Co had great teams also. IMHO-The playoffs in football should have been on a draw when it came down to the semi's or flip flopped every other year.

Do U know TN football? This is the 1st year for 6A 2004 Riverdale Champions Fri Nov. 26 Oak Ridge W 42-28 Sat Dec. 4 Franklin N Class 5A CShip W 35-7 Each time the game against the East TN Reps was the real game for the Championship. The boys from the other side was not a contest. The brackets are the only thing that got the Franklins, Indy and other teams to the Championship game.

Ya cause Lord knows Maryville, Alcoa, Fulton, and Catholic have won state recently. What are you thinking?!?! What a stupid statement by huskergymnast33! Some of the best games/closest games have been between the teams from Rutherford and the east TN rep (Oolteawah, Bearden, OR) instead of the game against the west rep. I am a middle TN native. However, I have lived in East TN for 8 years. Since moving back to Middle TN over the last 4 years, I would rate the football I saw played at the higest level in East TN better than Middle over all. However none of the teams could get past the Rutherford Co Teams. So I would say in TN's Highest football diviision the Rutherford Co teams are tops but the teams around Knox Co rule the rest. Of course D-II teams say they are the best according to records against top D-1. Then again little Alcoa spanked McCallie when they were one of the top teams in D-1. So a general Statement like huskergymnast33 is crazy. Which game was the a real game. Looks like Indy wasn't even a game. Bearden gave the 2 X Champs a game. 2006 Fri Nov. 24 Ooltewah 5A Semifinals W 28-25 Sat Dec. 2 Ravenwood N 5A State Finals 7PM at MT Floyd Stadium W 35-14 See a trend! 2005 Oakridge in the Championship game Fri Nov. 25 Riverdale W 17-0 Sat Dec. 3 Ravenwood N 5A Cship 7PM L 7-14

This is the Class AAA (5A & 6A Playoff Teams) part of the board. I don't think the above teams have won any gold balls in this classification? It would be a little hard for them to have a Gold ball in 6A since this is the 1st year they have had 6A.

Just seeing who would bite. BTW- Do u have stats on the Private vs public prior to the split?

I stand corrected! Way to test them dogs.

probably not very many. Farragut generally doesn't travel very well. I am sure the parents are taking a bus out there. From my knowledge either Farragut or knox county is too afraid to have a bus for students for away games.. too big of a risk? which is ridiculous IMO. but that's the world we live in. Everyone afraid of getting sued or worried about all hte liabilities.. Farragut generally has terrible school spirit... I won the school spirit award.. trust me, as a whole Farragut's schools spirit is absolutely terrible. He is correct. How did they travel? The players deserve better!

Sorry to call it ADS! Stay strong and make to the big game this year. Your playing the best programs in the State. Congrats on taking on the best the state has. Good Luck on the rest of your schedule. So how did the FHS fans think Riverdale compared to some Knox Area teams?

How much are the Owls fav by? 12 pts? This Maplewood team is down from years past.

Good Luck Admirals. I watched Riverdale against H'ville. They are the real deal. Big D line that is quick. Lots of Skill position players. They are like a Alcoa but bigger. I'm pulling for the blue but I think the Warriors have to much pwr and speed. Was planning on being at the game but the wife has me going to a church event, Warriors have home field, refs and that long bus trip is a energy sapper. Good Luck

LB33 don't you get tired of being so wrong?

cough....cough... It's a long season in a tough league, GWAVE1. The wave is still not back to the glory days.

You have a very weak fan base. I watched HL one game away from the Chanpionship Game a few years ago. It was sad to see what little fan suppost was in the stands. The team deserves better.

Still a close game!

score?
