Take it from some experience. It doesn't matter who wins the game this friday because they won't make it past thanksgiving weekend. All seasons end with Maryville. They just play ball at a different level than we are able to in upper E Tn.

This should be a great one. And regardless of what anyone has to say about EHS, they always seem to peak at the right time. You can throw regular season out the window, because they know that it is win or go home. Too close to call.

The Bristol Herald Courier does the same to us. They spend more time covering SW Va football than the Vikings. Someone told me it was to sell more papers to the "region". I would say that is what is happening in Kpt as well. They figure that everyone in Kpt is going to buy their paper anyway since it is the city's only paper so they try to attract readers and subscribers outside of the city to increase their sales.

That is pretty much the way I see it. The only possible change would be between #2 and #3 in region 1. This friday's game will determine who wraps that up. But knowing that the game is going to be in the castle, I think that the Vikings should be able to pull it out.

Don't think the Greene Devils can pull this one out. West 35 Greene 6

I agree GLee. The only team worth anything in the 5 rivers is Mo. West. And judging from how they fared two weeks ago against Knox West (41-38) I don't think they will make it to the State Championship this year. Fortunately for them, they won't have to play anyone until the Semi-finals. The only team that should prove to be a roadblock for West is South. And I don't see that happening either. But the season ends with Maryville the day after Thanksgiving. And believe me, we have recent memories of how that feels.

Where is everyone at? It is Tuesday, and no thread on the big battle in Bristol. Last year all I heard was how East was going to beat TN High, and this year....I haven't heard anything. Where are all of the loyal Patriot fans. If there ever was a year to take out the Vikings, this looks like it. Let's hear what everyone has to say....

Congratulations!! You guys deserve it.

South will win. By how much, who knows. THS beat Elizabethton with only 1 half of football, and lost to South. Granted, I am sure that EHS has gotten better, and I don't know if THS hasn't gotten worse. But South has alot of good players, and they seemed to want it worse than the Vikings did Friday night. South 28 Betsy 6

It's over, we lost, DB is better, get over it!

Elizabethton can get a real confidence booster with this one. The only trouble I see is the 3 man front stopping their inside option. They ran it pretty successfully against Tennessee High. Otherwise the Cyclones should have no problems winning this week. EHS 24 UCHS 6

Congratulations on your win last week. It was a long hard trip to get there, but I think you have more to come. It wouldn't have to be so hard fought if your coaching staff would change the defense, but for whatever reason they must think that this is what will give them the best results. In order to win this week the Cyclones are going to have to put up some numbers because I am sure that the Devils and Gash will. Elizabethton 28 Greeneville 24

Trojanman you are foolish. THS is definitely not the team that they were last year, but to suggest that they will only win five games is rediculous. The conference is way too weak for that. The only tough games left on the schedule are South and D-B. Even if they lose both the final record will be 7-3.

Elizabethton may struggle with North's size and pounding it between the tackles. That 3-5 defense has to go. EHS 20 SNHS 17

We only have 3 non-region games, and they are against VA High (in-town rivalry that will always be scheduled), Science Hill, and D-B. We couldn't schedule any tougher local competition. We would have to travel to Morristown or Knoxville, and we will play the Morristown teams in the playoffs.
