I think these are pretty easy 1A Stone Norton, leading one of the best offenses in the state at that level 2A. Eric Grey, should be a 3 time winner 3A. Devyn Curtis, LB at BA. He has 77 tackles already this year. The heart and soul of the BA team. Light years better than any LB I have seen play. By the way, I an in no way affiliated with BA

So Coach Anderson, actually told a former Eagle to get off the field? Every since we have been at NCS, former players were always allowed back and full access to the program. So now that adversity has hit, Brothers and the staff want to show their true colors??? Those players did not quit on that those coaches. Brothers quit on those kids after 2015. He hasn't done a thing to get better or help those kids that wanted to play at the next level do so. Has anyone stopped to look at what his record is since John Crosby left NCS? It's either 500 or below. He is below 500 without Phillip Montgomery on his staff for his career. Think about that. That guy will never get another head coaching job anywhere else. That football program has become a freaking joke.

It's funny how a guy like Brothers wants to take all the credit for what success NCS had years ago but he is blaming the players and in particular the senior class??? The senior class didn't make the call to put his all state safety in the box when a team had to go 80 yards with 1:52 left on the clock. The bottom line is this, Jeff Brothers thinks he knows what it takes to run an elite program. Montgomery came from BA and brought that mindset to NCS. Everything about the offense has been terrible this season. Take away the stats against a terrible Zion team and NCS has the worst offense in D2. He ran off both RBs, played a WR/ CB over Devon Clark who has played extremely well by the way and has a terrible middle school program. AND here is the kicker, this clown is so arrogant, he did away with the youth program that brought in all of the talent that helped them win state. What a joke. Run like heck from this place

Thought the gameived up to the billing. Blackman has a lot of talent but I honestly came away from the game extremely disappointed in the attitude of Knox. He was targeted quite a bit and complained towards the sideline every time he didnt make a play. Noticed he had his helmet off yelling at a coach at one point. Not what I expected to see from one of the leaders of the Blaze. Thought Blaze D did a good job of rallying to the ball. Seemed as though the Pats made a couple of timely plays. Officials seemed to make the game about them in the second half. They missed a ton of false starts by both teams. Hopefully both teams stay healthy and we get to see another match up this year

I'm gonna say the point spread here is 24. Oakland has been hampered by injuries early in the year. Now they are starting to get some guys back. Juat dont see have the Warriors will be able to get much going on O.

Brothers is a losing HC without Montgomery on his staff. He has a record of 28-41 without Coach Montgomery. His offensive schemes are $#!+. He found a way to lose 4 games a year with his all time favorite player Golden Tate. Let that sink in. Fire that bum

This was my first trip to Maryville and I will say I was not disappointed. You all have a great atmosphere for a HS football game. One of the most disciplined teams I have ever seen. Very proud of my Pat's and the heart our kids showed. You can see why both these teams are always mentioned with championships. I think it's crazy for a guy to say we were two plays from getting blown out. This is football and those things happen. We could say we were two plays from blowing Maryville out but I dont because big plays and timely mistakes are what make this sport so great. Maryville kids bowed up the last 3 minutes to get the offense back the ball. I didnt like our play when it was 3rd and 2 but again, its football.

I want to hear from the Brothers apologists now after two weeks of terrible coaching. They guy has run off everyone in the program that had NCS as one of the top programs in single A ball. Everyone. Brothers is a losing HC without Montgomery on his sidelines. Look up his record at JPII and look at the start they are off too. I hate to break it to those backing Brothers but NCS will get smoked next week against Fayette Academy too. Book that

There isnt anyone associated with the football program that is saying anything that isnt true. I spoke with Xavier's parents. They said they asked Brother to communicate with them about his recruiting. Brothers never did. Not a word. They told Brothers that it was a possibility he could leave back in March. And nothing from the head coach for 3 months. I don't blame them one bit. I know there have been other things with other players but how does a coach not want to help his Mr. Football RB get recruited? Brothers will not have a good year. NCS wins 3 games max! Book that

I do know the family and yes I do know why he isnt there. As I said, people should be asking Brothers about this

It had more to do with everything NCSdad23 said. Has any looked at why Lawless isnt at UT right now? Nobody is questioning Brothers roll in that.

Joseph Dyer left the football team because of Brothers

How is NCSdad running down a coach or bashing a coach if what he is saying is true. Montgomery was the reason all the talent came to NCS. What is happening at NCS is just like what happened at JPII when Brothers was there. There is a reason an all region lineman and back to back years both starting RB have bailed on that guy.

How are these awards choose in D2? If you are all region are you automatically all state too? Not sure, we just made the switch this year.

I watched the broadcast of the game this morning, you are so right. Absolutey terrible call by Brothers to run a fake punt there. NCS also had success getting the ball on the edge but only called that twice in the second half. Spot on with swings in the game. Looking at it a second time, FC was on the ropes and Brothers gave them life and the FC coaches made the most of it. Those guys could do no wrong in the second half. They had the Midas touch for sure in the second half. This one still hurts

I thought it would be a great game which it turned out to be. You will see I said all week leading up to the game, FC coaches are top notch. IMO, the game never should have come down to that 80 pass play. Brothers killed what momentum NCS had in the first half. Myers had a 15 yard run to get us inside the FC 35. Brothers throws the ball and it' picked. We get a stop, and he throws another pick. Our crowd was beside itself. Fastfoward, we are driving with the clock inside 3 minutes and Brothers throws two passes and stops the clock. There is NO WAY, FC would have touched the ball again. FC had the momentum in the second half for sure. I have been saying all year our DC would cost us a ball game. How are we not in quarters with FC having to go 80 yards? Why do we not call time out when FC set up the trick play? Both teams played their tails off and it was an all out effort by both teams. FC coaches, man, you guys really have something to be proud of. They made all the difference. Congrats to th FC football community.

Of course you can' take away big plays. If we take away an 80 yard play, it's not much on offense for FC. It's the eb and flow of a game. Brothers doesn't make any adjustments. FC coaches did. That's the differece in that game. FC coaches are much better than our HC and DC. 1000 %. My hats off to them. They got it done.

NCS had over 200 on the ground. I am in no way disresecting FC. I said all week it would be this type of game. Brothers does dumb crap. He can't help himself. FC coaching staff completely out coached Brothers. No adjustments. This year we are 1-4 in big games. Terrible hire for a DC when Crosby left

First of all, what a game! FC showed some guts in the second half of that ball game. Here is my perspective and I would love to hear the FC side of things. Please don't think I am taking anything away from the players. I' not. They played ball. My thing about the flow of the game is why did Brothers get cute and throw the ball in the second quarter? 2 picks! NCS was having success and at that point in the game, FC looked shocked to me. Myers was running hard and breaking tackles, then Brothers does what he has done all year. I wanna here the FC take on thatg aspect of the game. The other part and this was actually my biggest fear is FC coaches made great adjustments in the second half. NCS didn't and those adjustments breathed life back into the FC players. Congrats it was a well earned victory

NCS outscored its opponents 409-177 playing a tougher schedule. Columbia Academy and BGA are still playing. FRA blew a 21 point lead last week and should still be playing. The reality is none of that means a thing tonight. 1 team will be a step closer to their dreams, the other team will have its season come to an abrupt end. There aren' any bad teams left and as much as we hope it' a comfortable game for whatever team you pull for, the likelihood is it will and should be an uncomfortable game. A little over 3 hours until we find out who travels to Cookeville

Welcome to the club. The club that has fueled the NCS ground game all year. This team was told the season was over when our other running back left. Myers was told he wasn't as good. Someone even say to Myers that if our other back was here, we wouldn't have started 0-2. I' glad you are pulling for Foutch. Maybe he is a great kid. I' telling you right now, no other back has faced 9 and 10 man boxes the way this kid has and still has rattled off big time yards. I hope for your sake, FC line is as good as you think. If not.....well you will witness it tomorrow

Hahahha, Kreager and Murphy agree with me in that it isn't going to be a blow out either way.

I have watched a lot of film on FC and seen every NCS game. The line play will likely cancel each other out. As with any high school team though, the team with the best player normally wins games. FC has not faced a team that can do what NCS does offensively. I give Brothers credit for scheduling tough competition early in the year. NCS is battle tested. FC does what they do and pretty well, I might add. I think it is foolish for anyone to think this game will be anything other that two fighters standing in the middle of the ring trading blows. Everyone needs to get ready for a physical night of football

The funny thing about this is everyone has said NCS needs a passing attack all year, yet the Eagles continue to rack up rushing yards. No offense to the FC coaches but BGA has a legit coaching staff and a better team. NCS still had over 250 on the ground that night. I love how over confident FC is right now. Myers faces 9 and 10 man boxes every week and leads TN in yards per game. Buckle up, the Eagles are coming

NCS has played the toughest schedule in DII-A. It pretty funny that people are saying this game, of all games will be more than touchdown. I give the edge to NCS but only by a score. FC won't beat themselves by play calling. Both lines will make some plays but I think that is a wash. Lawless has played out of his mind the last 3 weeks. Can' wait until Friday
