Boone should make semis and it depends which Tennessee High team shows up for them to advance. Some games they’ve clearly dominated and some not so much.

Truth hurts and I’ll leave it at that! Social media is a part of our world now so people better learn to accept it.

We all must have been watching a different ballgame! Betsy was up by how many? Yet threw a 40 plus yard pass to the end zone as time expires, with starters still in. Yet he wasn’t running the score up! It’s called football etiquette. I know a big word for that area, but do feel free to look it up. Not the kids fault in the least as they were told what play to run and did their best to execute. This classless act is on the coaches! Btw when the shoe is on the other foot, and it will happen, maybe sooner than they think, absolutely zero complaints should be heard from Elizabethton.

I think Betsy will see a much improved THS team . If, and only if, the team the showed up against Mo East shows up vs the team that got throttled by Boone. Elizabeth Tom should still win but if they let this THS team hang around late we may have another close game like two years ago.

Definitely enough talent at THS, just need it to click. Much different team than last year! I definitely agree it's gonna be wild and fun to watch.

I've watched this kid the few times we've scrimmaged with Union. Very good athlete with great hands and speed!

That was definitely a very questionable call and unfortunately these things happen too often now. Not enough integrity in my opinion. I will say VA High impressed me by not quitting.

If the Cole kid stays healthy, Boone is tough and from the beat down they put on my Vikings they should be ok. Haven't seen much on these other two. Could definitely make things interesting for sure.

It appears neither of these teams are off to a hot start. East is 1-3 and was predicted to compete for the conference title. Tennessee High is 2-2 and hasn't won against a Tennessee team in a year, but has matched the win total from last season. It's fairly obvious Boone wins the conference. Hopefully this will be a fun game to watch as it could decide who is runner up in the conference. Safe travels to Mo East.

Hey you take a W any way you can. That Cole kid is really good and the line was phenomenal. Not to mention we were out coached. Our coach even said so himself. Unfortunately until the play calling changes and a few tweaks are made things will remain status quo for THS. Really sad cause there's a lot of talent out there. Just google Albert Einstein's definition of insanity. Great job by Boone all around!

Great game Boone! Way to come out and punch us in the mouth!

Yes that's very unfortunate and hated to see that. I will say the backup isn't exactly a slouch though. Might not be as big as JT but could be a viable threat. This team has a lot of weapons. Just a matter of getting them all involved at the right time.

It will hopefully be a good game. Hopefully have some good matchups and I hope both play well with no injuries. I agree with you that this could put the winner in the drivers seat.

Haven't seen anything on this one yet. Tennessee High travels to Daniel Boone. What are the implications of THS beating Boone within this region? Will this put THS in the proverbial drivers seat? I think there has been some underestimation of this years Vikings! I think this is a close game. Boone wins I think they win the conference. I'm going to be a homer and say THS 28 Boone 27?

Good game Central! We did come up short as many of you said but I'm pretty certain we have changed a few opinions. Good luck on your season Central, safe travels home!

The two school incidents are totally unrelated. Good news on both fronts though. Situation at THS has been resolved and the VMS student appears to be ok and recovering. Thank God on both accounts!

Way more disciplined from what I have seen thus far. I will say we are not very big up front, that's a given., but hopefully the athleticism on this team will take over. All I can really make my basis off of is what I have seen thus far and it's hand over fist better than last year.

So basically what I'm seeing here is if Courtland is stopped we just automatically lose? Courtland is most definitely the best athlete we have but if I'm not mistaken there are many other kids on the team. Don't be confused to think we don't have any other play makers. We very well could lose and do so big. All I'm saying is don't count this team out. I've been to every scrimmage and 7v7 and we've dominated or at least held our own against much larger schools such as Dobyns Bennett. If they keep in it, especially late, I'm just saying these kids have a lot of guts and determination. I have also noticed a climate change with this group. Guess time will tell.

I completely agree with you on the rivalry. I know some of the names you mention but I was after them.

Oh no worries, didn't feel disrespected at all. Just saying can't judge from last years squad is all. I honestly believe this team may surprise a few folks is all.

So what are your thoughts then? Have you attended either of these schools scrimmages, etc?

CHSBOBCAT, couldn't agree with you more about being thankful football season is upon us. We do hope you enjoy your trip to Bristol to see one of the most unique stadiums in the country, just hope y'all don't enjoy it too much, lol. This crop of Vikings is a world different than last season. I'm going to enjoy being the underdog all season long as these boys have been pretty impressive thus far. Pray that the Knoxville gang has a safe trip up and home but I'm going to go with my Vikings on this one. THS-27 Central-24

From watching Fuller for the first time at Duals and this weekend I don't believe many would make it that long with him. He is a three timer, most likely to be four for a reason.

Fuller will dominate at 45. I usually don't post on here cause of the drama. I just enjoy reading the comments. No offense to the kid from Soddy but he probably shouldn't have made it out of the quarterfinals. Too bad the THS kid made a freshman mistake and lost 8-6, giving up four points in stalling calls, which was funny cause the Soddy kid took one shot the entire match, while the THS kid most definitely pushed the pace. Don't see Fuller being called for stalling.

That I can definitely agree with. It was a great atmosphere and hopefully the same will happen on Thursday.
