Just seen it on the news . Twenty players ,but I don't know if that's positive test , quarantined or a combination.

Should be a great game.I look forward to seeing what this years Maryville team has.I can't imagine anything but another well coached and solid group of Rebels.

The main thing is " team ". Every one of these Devils may be the player that makes a season saving play.Shoot,it could be as simple as an onside kick recovery or a game saving tackle somewhere down the road.Every player dressed out could be that player on any given night.Anybody old enough to remember Peyton's first game at Tennessee.He was in a shootout for third string at the first of that game.Probably wasn't going to play that whole year if the starter and TH had stayed healthy and ready.

I don't believe I called out any player or any position played by any player.I simply said I'd like to see every thing the coaches see and that has nothing to do with any one player.I'll leave who plays up to the coaches,nomatter what side of the ball because that's there job.I can watch a game and see for myself if our defensive front is blowing up their offense or our O line is blowing open big lanes to run through.I can see all of that and every spot on the field.I can say there wasn't any place that the Devils didn't look pretty darn good nomatter if it was the first guys in the game or those that played at the end.Also I'll take either QB and neither was 1000x better then the other,they both looked pretty darn good in a big win.On top of that,you need atleast two good QB's ready to play at all times.

One game and you never know just how good your team is or the team you just played.I really wish I could see everything the coaches see in practice at Greeneville or in the training room. It was really nice when I had one playing up here in K-town and got to watch nearly all the practices and even the weight training { most gains for my Indians was at home }.Still,I could see why this player or that was or wasn't playing most of the time.Some young men shine when the lights are on ,but a multitude of reasons can be why they are coming off the bench.As a parent,it's hard to step back and not be atleast a tiny bit biased,however if you watch enough practices and know the game,it makes it a lot more easy. I like what I seen this last saturday night and know the coaches at Greeneville have forgotten more then Batman knows about the game of football,so I'll leave that up to them in the coming weeks to deal with the very tough schedule and prepare the team for a playoff run.

I'll go with WR in this one but yes Boone will be tougher.I think we have a possible powerhouse in the making.Central always had kids in the system but would lose many to DB,TH and South and it ended up badly for many senior classes.North had some dang good teams in the last several years .Then you have South with some great success going to the state semi's and putting all kinds of kids into the next level. A few more pass plays and WR offense will steam roll most defense's by the end of the season is my prediction.I would be very concerned if I were SH and DB going forward.It's been Maryville for years in the playoffs,now we might see another animal take a bite out of the other locals before they get a shot at the Rebs.

Yep, pretty much what BVD said about the young man.

Yep, that's good coaching,the young man made a poor decision and the coach was explaining that he had just hurt the team.I think that was the second pass by the young QB and a beautiful play just ruined by being excited.I know as a few have wrote that different pro games and today's culture have been a bad influence on young men.The saying I always used to my kids was,act like you have been there before. Now,to me there was a much more serious play during the game that could have ended a young man's football career or worse.That crackback hit was one that I would have tossed a kid from the game much quicker then the little punch that got the young man ejected.

I might have enjoyed this Devil game more then any other that didn't include a gold ball . Great win

Mark needs to pay more attention to the game.

This young man can sling it at QB.Nice

I'm looking onside kick here

Long first half, A little shaky in places,but I'll take it. A can see with some adjustments here or there,this offense being really good for the Devils.

Will do and congrats on the win over SH

I look for a very tough and hard hitting game tonight.A lot of pride on the line between these two teams.As I've said in the past, I'd take a one point win in games like this and go from there.It's always better to learn after a close win,then a close lose.Either way, I'm really looking forward to seeing the Devils tonight,a win would make it even better for myself and BVD as we hopefully get to watch this one together.Go Devils !

One thing looks to be for sure.Elizabethton is reloading every year and like the Devils, can't be counted out these days before the season ever starts or until the playoffs end.Great job Betsy ! I look forward to the first and possibly 2nd game this year between our teams, and as always will pull for the best team going forward.I hope it's the Devils but you have most definitely gotten everyone's attention already !

The line has looked really good tonight for WR. You can definitely tell Robbie has brought the North Offense with him.Nice start for the new school.

He has had a tough fight,but brother has been a tough fighter since he came into the world.I mean that literally , what a left hook ! I know his younger YouTube fans probably can't imagine it but when he was a young man ,he benched 400 plus and I personally seen him drive a golf ball over the 395 yard hole we were playing . Yeah,count the roll,but it was a three iron !

That is terrible,no telling how much the damage will end up being.

There are some awesome matchups this week. A couple of things I really look forward to seeing this week and as the year and years roll along.One is how will West Ridge do and improve in the coming years.Will Greeneville and Elizabethton be contenders for years to come with all the changes around the state.I'd like to go ahead and be a homer there and say yes sir ! Man,looking at their schedules ,it's easy to forget they are both 4A teams.Love what both schools are trying to do.I'd really like to see a smaller school break through this year as well,like Hampton or South Greene. I won't predict but one score however in this post ,Greeneville by one.If it's one point,one score or one dozen scores,I'll take it. I hope for an injury free weekend all around the state ,nomatter what team it is..

I agree, I'm more about what have you done in the last few years.I don't know why but I really thought about history with a Boone fan talking about Kingsport and records.... One of the nation’s most historic routes, the Daniel Boone Wilderness Trail was blazed by the legendary frontiersman in 1775 from the Long Island of the Holston Long Island Long Island, also known as Long Island of the Holston, is an island in the Holston River at Kingsport in East Tennessee. Important in regional history since pre-colonial times, the island is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated as a U.S. National Historic Landmark District.What is now Kingsport TN, through the Cumberland Gap.The Cumberland Gap is a pass through the long ridge of the Cumberland Mountains, within the Appalachian Mountains, near the junction of the U.S. states of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee. Famous in American colonial history for its role as a key passageway through the lower central Appalachians… Virginia into Kentucky. It would become the route for thousands of settlers to the western frontier.

Like Devilman said in his last post or as I told BVD...Brother,I can tell your getting stronger,don't make me come down there and kick your backside !!

The Vols,Devils and the Cardinals.Seems like I remember a "Big " guy who is a huge fan of all three.Oh yeah, it's BVD ! I can give him something to read now.Brother,you remember that video you done, It's Time !!.Yep,the one about that former UT coach.Well, I believe it's about time for this year's Devil team to bring back number Five ! Oh yeah, IT'S Time alright !.Ha,in all seriousness,I love my little brother and hope we can see fifteen more championship teams in our life times before we are "done". Another family inside saying there ...As to this game and who wins,well I never count a victory until the last second ticks off.I also remember a Hail Mary a few years ago.Long as the Devils just win five in the playoffs, I'll be ok and I'd say BVD could agree with that...

I know your kidding because Greeneville and Elizabethton both played up against much bigger schools in the area for decades.One thing about the young men from all three of these schools,they are not scared of a fight.

You know I have nothing but respect for your program and if 4A is where the Tornadoes land,then folks had start building some new storm shelters around the state, because it will get a lot tougher in 4A.
