Senior night at Karns, and if Campbell County could beat Oak Ridge and Karns wins, they get a home playoff game. Could be Bishop's last home game if Karns loses.

As a fan of both schools (having been a teacher at Powell for 47 years and having a granddaughter at Karns), this had to be one of the most exciting games I have been to (not counting the State Championship game last year). Large fan support by both teams, neither team giving up, huge mistakes by both teams - both teams were up two touchdowns during the game. In the final analysis, Powell’s defense and running game came up big. 

Last time Powell beat Maryville (‘96) a Stooksbury was QB. He was a Senior though. Our Stooksbury is a Sophomore this time. Hoping Powell will be respectable, but the Panthers will do their best.

Powell is Region 3;  S-D and Central are Region 2. However, Powell ends the regular season on November 1 at S-D

Powell improved this week over last week. Still has a long way to go, but remember this is the fourth coach in four years. Give him some room to get to know the region and his players and let the players have some time to adjust. We opened with two very good opponents. Let's wait a few more games to make a judgement on the season. Clark Duncan went 0-10 his first season at Powell.

Final 66-6

Powell 34 Clinton 0 with 5 minutes in 2nd

Two great QBs tonight.

Powell wins but only barely as they hold off Karns from about 2 yards out & first down with over two minutes in the game. Karns had two penalties that backed the ball up to the 12, but had one last shot with 6 seconds to go. Final - Powell 19 Karns 13. Tough loss but good game by Beavers. Panthers must correct self-inflicted problems.

Karns usually gives Powell a good game regardless of records. Somehow, they keep games close.

Great game CAK - Powell needs to buckle down now and work on their Region.

Beautiful stadium, great atmosphere, exciting game. The "what if" of Strozyk going out in the second and not coming back allows us to believe we could have won if...; but that is a part of the game. Congratulations to a deserving Lion's team. Good luck against Beech. We will be pulling for you.

Powell's schedule did feature teams without impressive records this season, but it was about the same last year and Powell came within a last minute fumble of winning the state. It is extremely hard comparing teams from different areas until they get on the field and compete. Looking forward to Friday night. It should be an exciting game.

Ought to be a great game. Glad I will have the chance to see it.

One of the most exciting games I have been to. Campbell County was well-prepared and had an excellent game plan. Both defenses played well enough, but the offenses were inconsistent - though CC probably looked better most of the game. We were fortunate to win. That Powell was able to bend but not break in the second half and hold CC scoreless was, needless to say, the big difference. Congratulations to both teams.

Enjoyed an exciting game. AC played great on offense as did Powell. I cannot remember a shoot-out like this. Good luck in the future, Mavericks.

Congratulations to Oak Ridge. Their defensive line took control after the half, and their offensive line began dominating a tiring Powell defense late. It was a well-played, hard-fought game. Best of luck to a very good OR team for the rest of the season. Next week's Powell / AC game will be interesting.

Let's put the siren issue to rest. No effect on the game. Only used between plays and when there was no action. Proud of our Panthers and was privileged to be at one of the great high school games ever. Thanks to all the fans, players, and coaches for laying it all on the line. Congratulations, Henry County. Enjoy!

How many yards to Mobley end up with for his career? I read he got over 3,000 for the season and passed Troy Fleming as the all time leader rusher in Tennessee history. He had 208 last night I believe.

Career for Mobley - 5700 yds rushing (approx)

Why is everyone so mad about the sirens? Get over it, its a high school game and those made for a better atmosphere. God, those men gave it all on the field and the better team won. Mobley is one heck of a back! I take back everything I said by doubting him, he's the real deal. Perfect game, perfect atmosphere with the students and all of Henry County rocking TTU, and a perfect ending to a PERFECT SEASON. Glad to be a patriot, this county and those men deserve it more than anything. Powell was a very good team, I was impressed.

 

ROLL RED ROLL!!!

I wasn't complaining about the siren. Just warning my new friends about Interstate speeding and safety.

Congratulations Henry County. Great game. Two almost perfectly matched teams. Be careful going home. Not all the blue lights are in the stadium - at least that was true east-bound.

Lock up everything at home. Everybody from Paris & Powell will be in Cookeville tonight!
