2Rebels

So, what you are saying is you weren't there!!! And you are showing your true colors...sorry it didn't work out for you at South

Football Friday Nights are the best, I don't care where you are from. I do wish DB would annex some more so they could afford to finish the stadium Go Rebels!

Did you go to the game? I'm guessing not. I promise you Enka was not like Central.

Bottom line...this is the biggest game of the week and maybe the year for both teams. South wants to beat DB bad...against all odds. Db wants it just as bad, but the embarrassment of a loss would be much worse. Good luck to all. Go Rebels!!!

If anybody is confused about why the South community hates DB...read the last post. It's this exact disrespectful attitude toward every other program, every other community, every other people, that causes a distaste for the holier than thou DB faithful. It's not just our community, it's every community. You can add Enka to that list now. Enka may go 5-5, but they have the best QB we will face this year...and they played a clean, hard nosed football game. Congrats to them! South proved they won't quit. I will be in attendance to cheer on the Rebels next Friday. I'm hoping for the upset, but will applaud an all out effort by our boys regardless the outcome. Remember Rebels, we have nothing to lose in this one, so leave it all on the field. Good luck to all! Go Rebels!!!!!!

It was a fun game! It's a heartbreaker to come out on the losing end of this kind of game. I thought the boys performed admirably...could've given up early. I thought the play calling was good (for this game). We racked up tons of yards, nearly twice the first downs, ate the clock....what more could we ask. jhilts is correct...running the qb this much may bite us (again). As for the calling, I thought is was good overall. They did, however, bust us on the last drive. A chop block called on a 1st down run and a missed interference on Enka against M.Crowe. Both would've put us near the 20 with 40-45 seconds left and they hadn't stopped us all night. I think that was the difference. Go Rebels!

Good post 83 Can we move on now? As for predictions, Boone/Eliz to close to call South over Enka DB over Farragut Greeneville over Science Hill North over Volunteer Crockett over East Tn High over Johnson County Central loses Good luck to all!!!! Go Rebels!!!!!

You are kidding, right?

It's actually 3-5A teams and 2-4A teams....South and Central are both well below the 5A limit now even though we have to wait a few more years to reclassify again. Let's see, a 2000 student school vs a 950 enrollement....they should be so proud!!!! That's as bad or worse than your matchup with J. county.

Didn't quite get that feeling from Powell, Crawdad. South was down 20-14 and moving the ball until we threw into triple coverage...int for TD. Powell defense needs work if they are to challenge for state because the South offense has sputtered a little so far. Good luck to all!

We are about at the navel, just above where our D*#ks and B@*ls are located.

Rebel camp is this week and captains should be selected then. Jhilts was correct...some seniors missing from the list (CJ Morelock for one). As for this season, we'll learn more after 2 a days and scrimmages. We have North first, then Knox Powell. As for 7 on 7's is concerned, we learned we have work to do, but it really reflects very little on how the season may turn out. We are hopeful, but as last year, we face a gauntlet early on in the schedule. I just know I'm ready for some football and can't wait for Aug 19th at ENKA HS. Go Rebels!!!!!

Congrats Boone on a big win. Your defense was prepared and we didn't adjust on offense. Good luck next week at West. From what I've seen, you have a good shot at beating them. Congrats Rebels! I think you made a pretty good season out of minimal expectations and a poor start. I don't come on here much to read or post because of all the whiners. Anonymity makes it so easy. Always an idiot(if the shoe fits) complaining about something. We have a great program, great tradition, great support. Let's just keep it up, work hard this summer, and get ready for next year. BTW, Kevin is a great kid and example for his teammates at Boone.

I agree Mutt, it is a serious game. Each player should "seriously" work his/her tail off to help the team. Sometimes this doesn't mean theye'll be the star or even play. But, try to enjoy the moments they have and being a part of something bigger then "them". Parents ruin the sport...for the kids, the coaches, and other parents/fans. Let's move little Johnny...they don't appreciate your greatness. Oh, and by the way Coach, we care more about little Johnny and could care less about the "team". The parents seem to forget little Johnny isn't going pro and probably ain't near as good as we think. In hindsight, I feel we can support/teach our kids greater lessons from sports other the selfishness.

There are soooo many things I could say here, but won't. I say watch the full video "Boys of Fall" by Kenny Chesney. These kids have but a few Friday nights to enjoy and allow parents and classmates to revel in as well. I just wish they would have fun with their friends and teammates, playing a game they love. Life is about to get serious. Go Rebels!!! Let's make a playoff push.

JMO: DB and Greeneville are clearly 1-2 in no particular order. This can't be settled on the field, so let's just agree they are both good and I wish you both good luck in the post season. BTW, I attended both games against South. Neither team played anyone but starters. Unlike the Greeneville game, we were fortunate enough "not" to have multiple turnovers against Db, which affected the score. Both have different strengths. Both are good. As for the rest, I think South and Boone are close. Both teams will play TN High in the next 2 weeks, so we'll see if they merit a vote. Hampton is obviously good, but schools this size can never compete for a top 5 NET. After that, I think it drops off again.

Great win!!! You should be soooo proud!!!!! Keep hiding behind that score. We'll see how far that gets you in the playoffs.

Refs????? Really??? You can't be serious! They could've called 5 more personal fouls if they wanted. Your team barely showed more class than you clowns on here. Dirtiest football I've ever witnessed. And to think the mighty DB would have to resort to that. I thought annexing to get our money and kids was low until I witnessed the low blows tonight. Blame the refs if you want. Here's the bottom line...you aren't that good. Great skill players...check. Terrible O/D fronts...check. You couldn't block us or stop us and we have 1 lineman over 200 lbs. What are you going to do when you face a legit 6A team? Let me answer that for you....LOSE!!!! Enjoy coasting to a conference championship because the playoffs "could" be short. BTW, going for it from the 10 with the game tied 7-7 in the 4th qtr against a team you aren't supposed to be on the field with....is never the right call. Punt, punt, punt. We held them all night, so let's take a chance with the "D". Other than that, it was a well thought out gameplan that was executed well. Take away not punting and the lone defensive back breakdown and this could've gone the other way. Great game boys. Keep that effort up and you will win the rest.

100% sincere MJ. If I offended someone, I'm sorry. I did "come on here and talk football"....and it offended someone. That wasn't the intention. It was just the result of talking about the parts of the game that seemed the most lacking to me against GC. I will repeat them now: we got beat up front, we didn't tackle very well, we didn't take care of the ball, and the play calling could've been better at times. I can promise you, the above list includes most everyone that played or coaches...and it may offend many. No "one" was called out. It was a team effort loss. My kids are no one's business, but I have nothing to hide. I raised my children the same way I was raised...personal accountability. What can "you" do to help your team? I always complimented the good, but there was always something to improve on. If they had 20 tackles, 200 yds and 3 TDs then great job...but here is what you need to improve on before next game. I guarantee you they've been offended by me...and not by accident. But thanks for the advice anyway. My response to Comp is that nothing's changed. I will state what I see this Friday night. My intention won't be to offend, but I'm sure it will none the less.

Comp, sometimes you just have to smile and concede a fruitless battle. You know people don't want it straight any more. We(society in general)have gotten weak and can't handle the critique...especially when it comes to our little babies. I will hold my straight talk for those that can handle it. I, for one, hope the coaches are in their butts this week. I hope Monday is full pads again as before Boone. I hope they do tackle and blocking drills until they puke. I too applaud Nick for his leadership...and some others. But we need more and we are starting to see more kids stepping up.

I hit a wrong button or something. Anyway: Let me make this apology public. I'm sorry if any of your children play the positions I mentioned or happened to have any part in the turnovers Friday night. A loss is tough for all to swallow. I was just stating what I "thought" cost us the game and I know opinions vary. Hopefully, Friday night we'll take care of the ball, win the battle in the trenches, not miss any tackles, improve our play calling, and come away with a much needed win. We can still make the playoffs! Go Rebels!!!!

Please what? I'm listening. Are you disagreeing that if the DBs are making tons of tackles (obviously downfield) tackles, that's a good thing???? You do watch football, don't you. DBs are lined up between 7-15 yards downfield when the ball is snapped. Don't misunderstand, I saw missed tackles all night from all positions, including DBs. Regardless, if they lead you in tackles, it's not good. And if the MLB has 20 tackles, was there another lineman or linebacker with more than 1??? Couldn't have been. Although, I will congratulate 86 for several stops. Other than that, their RBs hit the defensive backfield untouched for much of the game.

We lost this game in 2 areas...1)taking care of the ball and 2) our line got dominated. They ran between the tackles all night. And guess what crawdad, a "safety" is named that for a reason. If the DBs are having to make all the tackles, you've already lost. As for the play calling, it could've been better at times. It was just a little too predictable. I thought we could've passed on them all night.
