If you can stop Clintons QB then WV has a chance. If not then WV goes home with the L. Pulling for WV as they represent our Region but that a tough ask to go to Clinton and win. Clinton 21 Walker Valley 14

Bradley has way too many weapons for the bulldogs. At the high school level no one can stop BOOOOO they can only hope to contain him. Bradley 35 Bearden 17

When a team takes the field pre-game chanting its F_ _ _ _ _ _ game time then there is a serious internal issue. Not to mention chanting F McMinn at half. Not saying McMinn is the perfect angel but Powell will never be on McMinns schedule again after next year unless its in the playoffs. Was the late hit on the runner a penalty of course it was but to eject the player was excessive. The white hat let the entire game get out of control from the beginning. First play of the game which was the KO he called a block in the back then comes running towards the McMinn sidelines yelling at the player saying "I will not tolerate those kind of plays"!! You could hear him from the stands. He was an embarrassment to his fellow officials as he seemed to want to be the center of attention instead of allowing the game to be. Powell has a good team and has been good for many years but Friday night was a bad look.

Bradley is loaded with good football players that have skill and speed. I have seen them play twice this year and they have all 3 aspects of the game covered.

What happened in the Powell / McMinn game that everyone is talking about? Apparently, there is video footage of Powell fans spitting, cursing and assaulting the McMinn players as they were leaving the field.

McMinn 28 Tyner 6 Probably double the amount of pas attempts in this game compared to the first two games put together.

Its 3 and the heat index is 104. I would say on the turf is probably 110. TSSAA heat policy states " 100-104 heat index there are mandatory water breaks every 30 minutes" Also states " if necessary for safety, suspend activity. "If its above 104 all outside activity practice or play will stop". This would include any pregame warm ups. No way the heat index on the turn gets below 104 before 8. I say we won't kick off until 8:30 or later....you have to give the teams time to go thru their pre-game activities.

Bradley is good and should barring any injuries content for a championship. They have done a good job of recruiting especially at the skilled positions. They had too much speed for McMinn. By far the best team i have seen them have in years. I see now why Boo is on his third school in 4 years. Super talented athlete and gifted football player but talks a TON of trash. When he gets to UT he will quickly learn there are 15-20 other Boo's of similar talent on the field. He might want to learn from his past and let his ability do the talking for himself.

Hey SoutherBear Bradley uses the same officiating association that McMinn uses.

Its should be a good one. Come on down to Athens and spend your money here in the Friendly City. We like out of towns folks to stop and eat with us.

A closer look into the numbers for this weeks game: Total ppg McMinn 27.3 and OR 18.5 McMinn 33 rushing TD's & 6 receiving OR 20 rushing TD's & 8 receiving McMinn 313 yds pg and OR 257 yds pg McMinn 1104 passing yds for the year and 2339 rushing yds for the year OR 1320 passing yards for the year and 1511 rushing yards for the year

Interesting comparisons per game: McMinn County 36 rushing attempts per game and 12 passing attempts per game Campbell County 36 passing attempts per game and 19 rushing attempts per game Points per game are 30 for both teams McMinn holds the advantage in the kicking game with 48 points for the year compared to 6 for Campbell Special teams could be the difference maker in this one.

Actually its the second oldest continuous played game in TN. South Pit and Marion Co. is first. It will be the 99th game played between the two old rivals. Overall record is 41-54-3 in Bradleys favor.

Hey DA the same officiating association officiates at Rhea as they do at McMinn!

I am the biggest MARYVILLE fan there is tonight. Be aware of DB's best player showing up at 6:30....the health department.

Maryville 35 DB 10 GO REBS!!!!!

The article said the Sullivan County doctor over the regional health department said “It’s his responsibility to protect the citizens of Sullivan Co.” . Good job doc. In the grand scheme of today’s times any team will be fortunate to advance past this week.

Well done DB. Good luck against Maryville.

I'm hearing that politics has now gotten involved. Not a rumor but a fact!

Then how do you explain Nick Saban being positive one day then receiving 3 negative test the next 3 days then allowed to coach?

The TSSAA has reached a decision. DB & McMinn are going to play in Knoxville at Neyland Stadium....there haven't been any good games played there all year.

9:30 eastern time this morning they were on the conference call

Its 12:15 in east Tennessee and still no comment from the TSSAA. Let the kids play the game!!!

Getting an official word from the TSSAA is like trying to get an honest answer from a politician. It aint happening!
