True we are losing a lot of talent out of this senior class, but its not exactly like the cupboard will be empty the next couple of years either. Losing the linemen will be the biggest hit, but we do have Bice, Dotson, Noel, Mason Stevenson, Dylan Smith, and so on coming back. I hope its just a rumor since Coach Pemberton has done so much for our program. I agree with Gov91 why in the world would any coach want to go that disaster at Powell.

Knox West @ Rhea County! The Veer vs The Wing-T. This is a good matchup between to very good teams. Rhea just keeps winning and proving people wrong. West is a great team with a phenomenal running back in Cottrell and very good QB in Marshall. Like others have said coming to Rhea and our enviroment is very tough to play in, but should be a good one to watch.

Great game Oak Ridge that was a fun one to watch. Once again, Eagle Nation came out in full force that visitor side was packed and loud. OR you have a very good team and it was a lot of fun playing you guys. Hopefully we will see you again next year in the playoffs.

Rhea County's Mount Rushmore Andy Kelly David Douglas Kevin Revis Matt Riggs Rhea County has so many that could be put up there. Heck they could have all linemen Mount Rushmore With Kevin Revis Jason Fitzgerald The Douglas Brothers Josh Walker Brandon McLeroy Just to name a few

Great football game tonight.That was a great atmosphere and crowd. Jaylen Woods is hands down the best athlete Rhea has seen this year. Lenoir City gave us a good game but now it's time for Rhea Co-Cleveland

Here we go! One of the best rivalries around. This is going to be a big one.

LOL your stadium is ok, but you need to fix the mud holes on the field. Now Rhea on the other hand has one of the best stadiums in the state.

Rhea County is finally back in the playoffs and as the 1 seed in the Quad. We welcome Lenoir City to Bill Horton Field. Thoughts on the game?

Not really, but when we do throw it's very effective.

Actually Rhea County never had a JV game scheduled with Warren. We were suppose to play McCallie tonight but we did cancelled that game. It's in a Rhea County's program and on the website that we were suppose to play McCallie Oct 21 I'm not sure why it still says 2012 but it's the 2013 schedule. http://rheacountyfootball.com/schedules_4.html

The Eagles head over to McMinnville this Friday and look to continue the dominance of district 6 AAA. The last time Rhea went to Warren Co, it was an offensive shootout of game back in 2009. Rhea will pretty much wrap up the district championship friday with a win. Thoughts on this game?

Rhea just got bumped into the district when Coffee Co. left district 6 and East Hamilton moved up to district 5. I was told the TSSAA wanted more balance, since district 6 only had 5 teams while district 5 would have had 8 teams. I had heard that back when the TSSAA went to the districts format that Rhea wanted to be in district 6 but something happened and they stayed in district 5. From Rhea Co High School to Cookeville it's about an hour and half. Which is the furthest drive for Rhea on the schedule except for maybe Warren Co. The rest of the district isn't too bad of a drive Cumberland and Stone are just a 1/2 an hour and White Co. is a little over an hour.

Rhea County makes the trip up the plateau to Cookeville this Friday and for control of the district. Whoever wins this game will probably be champion of the district. Thoughts on this game.

A rivalry renewed after 6 years.Thoughts on this one?

Yeah the slow start really hurt , but after the slow start we looked pretty good. The offense is definitely ahead of the defense right now. The kicking game looks promising this year. I was really impressed by Noel Patterson in the scrimmage it looks like he has a bright future ahead of him. The offense in general looks like we are going to be able to put up some points this year. The defense just needs to keep working, They had some bright spots but then there was some areas that need some work. I agree getting Jenkins back would help a lot on both sides of the ball. Farragut looked better this year too. The scrimmage tomorrow is going to be a good test for us. Notre Dame is a very good but young football team returning a lot of players from last year's quarter final team.

Well from what I seen in the scrimmage things are looking up for us. I know they are alittle limited on offense learning the new system and all. Meche had a heck of a scrimmage running the ball. I like our backfield we have got some talent with York, Berry, The Patterson Brothers, and so on. The offensive line looked they were getting under the skin of Bradley's D-line with all the post play scraps. Keep it classy Bradley. Defensively got some improving to do. Looks like we are back to a 5-2/3-4 style defense. It will be nice to see guys like Thurman and Cochran back in the line up in the fall.

I like the move to district 6. I think it will be a fresh start for the program.We have had 2 or 3 very good freshmen teams back to back. We have some good talent coming back next year. We can win district 6 next year, plus I have heard the schedule for next year. No Cleveland which I don't like but we do get Red Bank back on the schedule. This is the schedule that I have been told Week 0 Aug 23 Off Week 1 Aug 30 Coffee Co. Week 2 Sept 6 White Co. * Week 3 Sept 13 @ Walker Valley Week 4 Sept 20 Cumberland Co. * Week 5 Sept 27 @ Red Bank Week 6 Oct 4 Cookeville * Week 7 Oct 11 @ Soddy Daisy Week 8 Oct 18 @ Warren Co. * Week 9 Oct 25 East Hamilton Week 10 Nov 1 @ Stone Memorial * * = District Game

Good luck Hixson and Coach Fitzgerald.

It was a another rough year. However, yes we need to schedule different non-district games. I know powell was a late add to the schedule since the school that was scheduled to play us backed out. I hear that Cumberland and Coffee Co might be on the schedule next year. Which is way easier that Powell and Bearden. East Hamilton is coming to the district and will be a tough addition to the schedule.. So we need is one more game after that. I would like to see Red Bank back on the schedule or reschedule Brainerd Year 3 is a crititcal year for Greene; another 1 or 2 win season won't cut it. Grant it, the team looked pretty good against cleveland, but it was just one game. I guess all we can do is hope the team has a good off season in the weight room at this point. I agree the championship talent just isn't there, but the talent to be competitve is. Also the last coulple of years depth and just the number of players on team has been short too. Which goes back to the kids buying in and trusting the coach to lead them to their full potential.

I would like to see someone besides Tommy Layne get it. Out of all the schools represented someone better has to be out there.

I have been meaning to put this pics out here for a while now so everyone could see the new field. Thanks to our buddy Rhea Co. for taking some of these.

Here you go. I found some and talked to Rhea Co. who had some pics during the construction.

If Rhea can slow down the two headed monster rushing attack for McMinn. Then this game is going to be very interesting. The out come of the this game rests on the fact of stopping the run. I mean when in the first two games you have ran the ball 105 times to 19 passing attempts. If Mcminn can't run it they are in trouble. Good Luck guys, looking forward to a little Thursday nigh football.

Offense wise Des is very good avg. 90 yds both game rushing and has also made a lot of catches out of the backfield too. Moffett is the best defensive player on the field so far every game he has played in he has had a interception and has made a lot of big plays.. Overall though is Jacob Revis. What can you say, he is a solid player on both sides of the ball and has great potential at the next level where ever he decides to go.
