Both Hartley's, Stressman, Roberts, Morton, Holly's, Avery to name a few. All have a huge impact on this team. The fact is that young athletes want to be competitive and have a chance to win, Elizabethton gave the county kids the best chance to win, no recruiting needed. Would you rather play for a county school where you are getting put out in the first or second round, or play for a team that has a chance at state?

Same goes for Greeneville and false starts.

The WR made a heads up play, but the reason I stated it should be a targeting call is if you look at what is being called in college games as targeting that would fit. #81 could have been considered a defenseless player and that block could have been considered a crack back block which is now illegal, but my opinion means nothing it comes down to what the ref decides.

I will agree that Elizabethton does have size this year on the line, but if CAK's D line is better than Scott County's it will be a long night for the O line. We had trouble getting the run going. It seemed like that #77 was in the backfield every play. As for the LB's they better keep their head on a swivel after that hit on #81 last week, which should have been considered targeting. For the RB's lets hope we can get a new game plan and see some different run plays this week.

For any of the veterans out there reading this forum happy Veteran's day!!!

If you are wanting Ridgewood on a Friday night you better get there early, especially if you want to go to the game!

If you're wanting a burger you will probably want to stop somewhere on the way, lots of pizza and chic-fila sandwhiches to go around though. Elizabethton is still pretty balanced on offense, and as for the playmakers it changes week to week.

Our band is funded by all of the concession profits and a few generous donations from some proud parents.

Yeah Alcoa fans, you have a reason to be proud of your team and brag. What you don't realize is that you all don't have some of the restrictions Elizabethton does. In order for a county student to come to Elizabethton, depending on what grade they are in, they have to pay anywhere from $800-$300 a year to go there. Around here a lot of people don't make that much money to be able to afford that every year. Unlike in Alcoa where you do not have zoning laws and you can go for free. Also Elizabethton does not have a major company that can offer players parents a job to bring them there and play. You all have every right to be proud of what your team has accomplished. Just know that we also have that same right.

The outcome of this game all depends on which Elizabethton team shows up. If last weeks team shows up we get blown out. If the team that played Science Hill shows up it's a ball game. It comes down to our defense no ands, ifs, or buts about it. Any team who has had a mobile qb or a qb that can throw the ball does well against us. From what I have heard CAK's offense is pass heavy. Coach Ogg will need a totally new game plan, because our secondary has been slow in the past few games. As for offense Witten needs to get some imagination in his play calling. Last week he ran the same play, a dive up the middle, 3 straight plays and gained a total of 4 yards. Elizabethton has athletes on offense, but throwing a quick screen to #5 isn't going to work against a team with speed. This game has the potential to be one of the biggest of the year, but it all depends who shows up on Friday. Go Betsy!!

Elizabethton has beaten Austin East 2 out of 3 times they have played.

This year if you show your season ticket when you buy the ticket for the playoff game you are guaranteed that seat(s).

Agreed! The fact that the entire home side is reserved, and it is only half full at the beginning of the game is ridiculous. Might have to do with the level of competition EHS plays now, but the team deserves better than that.

Unicoi is just wasting gas on this trip. Best of luck to both teams, hope all stay injury free.

Looking forward to see how Elizabethton will play against stiffer competition in the playoffs. I see EHS winning 35-14
