Well the good news is Bradley didn't run Copeland to death tonight but the bad news is they still only ran 2 plays all night. Defense played pretty good again but it was the same story NO Offense. Bradley needs a new OC and that change needs to be made NOW!!!!
Bradley cant get a play in fast enough as it is much less running the hurry up. Bradley defense could slow Signal for a little while but they can only hold them for so long. If Bradley doesnt find some offense they are going to have a long rest of the year.
I will give them credit for their wins. Big wins for both teams. And at this point besides Ooltewah they are the only 2 teams I see having a chance to make the playoffs. But I will say this anyone that has watched this district the last few years will have to agree that this is the worst it has been as a whole in a while. I mean the team that is undefeated and killing everyone in the district barely beat a middle Tennessee team that is defeated and getting destroyed by everyone in their district. Not taking anything away from Soddys or WVs wins but I have seen some very ugly football so far this year.
All hail Cleveland they were great in the middle 90s so they are the kings of Bradley County forever and why would any of us dare talk about WV or Bradley in a WV vs Bradley thread
How long has Ryan been the Head Coach? Definitely long enough to be winning more games than he is. Who are all these talented sophomores? Melton? This is the same crap as last year WV beats 2 cupcakes and thinks they have something. You gotta beat somebody before you are somebody.
Cleveland 42-14
Cleveland is improving every week and Soddy even with a bye week has to still be wondering if Ooltewah is that good or if they are that bad (not enough confidence to beat Cleveland)
This is pretty much a must win for Bradley with the schedule they have coming the next 3 weeks (Signal Mountain, Ooltewah, Cleveland). I just don't think Walker Valley is ready to beat big brother yet. Bradley 21 - 13
Bradley over Hixson (Will be a tough game)
Cleveland over Wilson Central (Beginning their turnaround)
Riverdale over East Hamilton (Payback from last year Bradley already got it)
Alcoa over McMinn (I Agree very tough schedule)
Ooltewah BIG over Tyner
Rhea HUGE over Walker Valley (Wont sneak up on them this year)
Ooltewah should win this district. Cleveland and Bradley should battle for second. McMinn will be right there also. East Hamilton has a lot of work to do but could end up in this fight. Soddy and Walker Valley will be at the bottom playing for last place the last game of the year. Is this Deja Vu?
This game starts Soddys descent back to reality. Owls by at least 35. Soddy will be lucky to score before the 4th qtr when the clock is running and Ooltewahs freshman are playing.
Bradley dominated the first quarter and only got 7 points out of it. Should have been 17-0 at the end of the first quarter. After that Riverdale dominated both sides of the line of scrimmage and it went the way I thought it would. Riverdale is very much improved from last year but Bradley is also down from last year. The good thing for Bradley is their whole district is down with exception of one team and anyone could finish second.
Ooltewah is the best team in our district with 9 starters back from last year on defense. If Soddy keeps it out of the mercy rule Friday it will be a win for them. From the looks of it Soddy could maybe beat anyone else in the district. 5AAA looks to be as bad as it has been with the exception of Ooltewah. I say Owls by at least 42 over Soddy.
