Ha,If it was a joke,it would be a very bad one.Shows what this computer knows about football.If that was my poll,first thing I'd do is burn the computer I used and never post or print such a thing.Wonder how long the odds makers in Vegas would use this poll for betting odds ? OK,I'll take Oakland and 21 for any amount against all the teams ranked ahead of them.Yeah,that would go over well.

Don't know the coach but from everything I've read, he sounds like a great coach and person.As to them being the very best team in 4A,well I guess that was proven last week on the field.You can reread everything I posted over the last several months when it came to this year and what I thought was going to happen.Early on,I thought this would be the hardest road my team or Elizabethton had to take in order to bring back the gold. Greeneville I thought had the players and coaches to get it done but so did Georgia this past weekend against Alabama.We might have had the studs to get it done but the Elizabethton coaches seen enough game film and done a great job of getting their team prepared and their players got it done when it counted in our game.The championship game was a classic and both Tullahoma and Elizabethton fought to the bitter end and then fought a couple more rounds.Best championship game I've ever seen in highschool football and I just hate either one had to take home a silver instead of gold. Congratulations to Tullahoma and Elizabethton for being the two best teams in 4A when it counted the very most.

Every fan base has it's share of excited fans.Except maybe Alcoa and Maryville . I guess after you win that many rings, there's not a lot to say and no need to toot your own horn at that point.

I was pulling for Betsy but this was one of those games that you just hate to see either side lose.I thought it was an elephant balls move for the Tullahoma coach to go for the touchdown and did understand why he done it with a guaranteed three sitting there. Yes,he would have been the goat but not the Tom Brady type had they lost .I think he figured the Elizabethton team would be forced to score and most likely it wouldn't have been a field goal.He knew it and after the game was very classy in saying his team bailed him out.

Ha,now that makes sense, figured you meant that after the next post or two.

I haven't seen Summit but if they can beat Oakland by that much,they are hands down the best team in the state

Congratulations Tullahoma

Classic

Elizabethton defensive backs are tough

Hope I tell this right but I thought of a quote by Johnny Majors mom after he fumbled and cost Tennessee a game.Every now and then,every one burns the biscuits.This Tullahoma kicker is a weapon that could make a huge difference in a game like this.

Wow,that was a big miss on that pass right before the half.

This is a nice drive for Elizabethton, those bubble screens remind me of another team three years ago

Nice pass right there.

I don't know about that,they look pretty good to me so far.Betsy QB is a tad off early on some passes but a great catch or two . should be a good game.

Go Elizabethton ! Man,for some reason,Batman is a little nervous about this one.Hope it's for nothing and you guys get it done.

Congratulations Alcoa ! Not much to say except you guys just have an awesome program and keep setting the bar higher for the rest of the state.

Elizabethton 27- Tullahoma...... anything less then 27.

Love the talk.Bring it back to NET

Now this reminds me of 16 year old Batman when I had a 396 Chevelle.I passed a car on highway 70 out of Greeneville and was going to turn around before he topped the hill and go back past him.Didn't work out well,I got into some rocks and spun right into his lane as he topped the hill .I went left off the road and he went over into my lane to miss me.You live and learn sometimes.

This thread reminds me of a lot of our Devil threads.Some level headed guys who try to keep it between the lines and then there's always a few that are driving on the wrong side of the road,ha .Fun to read however.

Best of luck Alcoa, bring back another championship !

I guess I'm one exception to already having the gold ball before it's earned. I was personally worried after watching the very first game this year and I'll stop there .The bottom line for Elizabethton is they are in the championship game and hopefully will use that hard nose defense to finish the deal.

I know absolutely very little about what Tullahoma has as far as size,speed and coaches but understand a 14-0 record doesn't just happen without some really good players and coaches .Every time I read the early season stuff,this was a team I kept wondering about .Now we are all going to find out when they matchup with a team Ive seen since I was a teen playing football myself way back in the day.Even before that's all written about,I expect like most football games,this one to come down to who plays the cleaner game.Meaning , turnovers and penalties to start with. I hope it's a great game and all the young men come out injury free.At the end of the day, I'm pulling for Elizabethton to bring back the gold and look forward to next week.

Great win Elizabethton. From everything I'd seen early on, I thought it was going to be a strong competition in this years 4A final four . Now it's for the gold and Elizabethton's chance to make history in NET.Bring it home !

Probably one of the reasons Alcoa takes on 6A powerhouse Maryville every year as well as the best that will play them from all classes during the regular season. When the playoffs get here, the goal is gold.When Alcoa has the amount of students to move up,they will.I understand what your saying but it's not Alcoa's job to find a place to lose more often but other schools their size job to get better. I've seen Alcoa have down years in the past and not win it all.Nobody cared then outside of Alcoa.Shoot,some folks in 4A or 5A would be crying foul if they moved up now and took someones playoff spot.Several years ago,one of my kids was batting and got under a baseball but it still went off the 350 fence .The coach of the 13 year old all-star team recruited him that night because he didn't think that was possible at that age and it not even a solid hit.I told him my boys age and he said, I'm sorry he doesn't meet the age requirements.I didn't see a big deal but apparently a year makes a difference . Anyway, Alcoa is playing where they are supposed to because of their size.
