Elijah Young targeting call has been overturned

Depends on what videos or pictures they sent in but from the angles I have seen it still seems weak to me. But still a slim chance it’ll get overturned. Hate it for the kid. I wish others really did see how awful the referees were that game. Im sure this was not the only call sent in for review.

No contact was made to the helmet? The contact came from the shoulder into the chest. The end zone view shows that. SD wouldn’t have appealed the decision if they don’t have evidence that it’s not targeting.

I don't have the video but did see it. What I saw seemed to be complete shoulder to chest. Now will they have enough evidence to overturn it, I have no idea. It was a very close call. I believe it should've been a crack back block and move on. I'm a fan and not a referee though. I just hate it for the kid more than the team. Young is such a great kid and has always worked hard and kept his head down. I think the targeting rule still needs a little help in high school football. Basically ejected 2 games for a very close call is a difficult penalty for high school football especially when you see a lot of teams made up of just a couple players.

First matchup between SD and Powell might not be that good. Both teams might be resting starters for the playoffs. But if SD can make it to the semi finals and Powell does as well, Brang might be back for SD and that might be an incredible game. I think a fully healthy SD team is the best to challenge powell this year.

Ive seen a couple videos and it’s very possible it’ll be overturned. 5StarPreps said that SD has already appealed the decision. Even without Young SD should’ve won that game. Of course that means they had Brang and Young out. SD seemed to get penalized on every big play. Hopefully this will be a wake up call and they’ll have Young back and Brang back sooner than later.

A week after their starting QB of 3 years suffered a big injury. I’ll tell you what that game plan was. Hand the ball off to Elijah Young and Anderson County loaded the box. You can’t get a backup QB ready in a week. I don’t see how someone can logically believe after watching that game that SD was running their normal offense.

I don't think you really understand how one dimensional South Doyle made their offense during that Anderson County game. Their backup QB has been looking just as good as Brang since that game. And rumor has it Brang will be back in time for playoffs. Bring Powell South of the River for the final game of the season and you'll see what the Cherokees are made of. That South Doyle defense is nasty this year and Elijah Young is only playing offense.

Did the good LB from Powell #44 get injured last week? I’ve been hearing some rumors of a ligament tear in the knee. Could totally be just rumors but I believe it to be true.

I think you are really downplaying Fulton's defense. There defense is the best thing they have and they're going to stop the run. They limited Elijah Young to only 89 yards and Powell's passing game proved to not be that good. If they can hold Elijah Young to that little of yards with 5 returning offensive lineman for South Doyle, I think they can do the same to Powell. It will be the tale of defenses as well this week.

Should be a very good game this coming up Saturday at Fulton High. SD has looked great in every preseason scrimmage and Fulton is down from their usual dominance. What are y’alls score predictions?

Anyone have an update on GP vs Fulton?

Anyone got updates about scores this evening? My SD Cherokees beat Knox West 24-14. People should start talking about this team south of the river. The Cherokees defense is nasty. Powell vs Volunteer? Maryville vs Oak Ridge? WB vs Hardin Valley?

Can we get any updates from the following games if people were there? Alcoa vs West Fulton vs Greeneville Powell vs Austin East vs Mo East South Doyle vs Mo West was a blowout. Elijah Young took first run 70 hards to the house. Score was 8-2 with starters or right around there. SD vs Knox West should be a lot better game next week. I am excited for that.

I honestly believe that South Doyle vs Central game this year might be one of the best of the year. Central wants to prove that have what it takes to get back to state and SD coming off that horrible loss last year. I'm still taking my Kees over the Bobcats but it'll be a toss up come game week. SD's biggest advantage is returning 19 starters.

South Doyle Schedule August 2nd Morristown West August 9th Knoxville West August 14th @ William Blount August 16th Jamboree vs Bearden

Definitely a couple slip ups but there are bound to be some with the amount of research. Hopefully my SD Cherokees can prove their better than #7 come 4 weeks.

Absolutely crazy that Fulton is listed at 87.5 over South Doyle at 12.5. People will see about South Doyle in week 0.

7v7 Report from the evening: Powell, South Doyle, Austin East, Knox Catholic, Kings Academy, William Blount, Gibbs, and Hardin Valley all met at Powell High School for a 7v7 event. Gibbs finally has themselves a QB who can actually throw. Looks like they will be moving a little into shotgun this year and run some form of a spread. Looks promising with their athletes. Austin East has some very good athletes and a good QB. Hardin Valley looking good and could be a sleeper but QB needs to get better. Powell is looking good offensively. Playmakers are a lot of freshman so who knows what Friday nights will bring. Cornerbacks are looking very small as well. They struggled more than I would have thought against some teams. Catholic did not look like their dominant selves. Of course, once they get their line they will be fine but QB play was just bad. South Doyle was the only team who went 4-0 on the night beating Catholic, Austin East, WB, and Kings. I think they scored on every possession. Powell vs South Doyle tomorrow night should be a very good matchup to watch.

Do I think Crockett will go undefeated in the regular season? Yes. Webb will put up a fight against them but they will get the win. Playoffs last year they almost got beat by Halls although they did put a fight against your Bobcats. I think every year they will get to the playoffs against Knoxville athletes and struggle. QB is the real deal and they have a great receiver but the talent level just isn't the same in upper east tennessee. I have them going to the second round but getting knocked out by either SD or Central.

David Crockett is way too overrated. Bring them down against some Knoxville teams and they start to struggle real fast. And I'm surprised an Oak Ridge team who lost so many players is ranked in the top 5. No doubt will still be good but I don't know about top 5.

The big question I have on Powell is their offensive line. I think defensively and their offensive weapons are going to be great but that o line is mostly brand new. This year, with the strength of schedule they have, that o line will need to grow up fast and learn how to play together. That is my same argument against Central too. Their defense and offensive weapons will be just as good as last year, especially their linebackers, but that o line is small with the center being the only returning player. South Doyle has weapons everywhere and did not lose anyone from the offensive line. That is why I think they could come out over Central for the region this year, but that final game against Powell is going to be a great game. Surprised it will not be on Thursday Night Rivals this year!

Gearing towards the first day of full pads and this awful 7v7 stuff can get behind us. Wanted to hear all the hype still out there however and what everyone was thinking about their teams. We all know I'm a South Doyle fan so I have to start there. Have heard their passing game has been extremely good as well as their defense. Young has been looking unstoppable in the open field. Although this is still just passing. Powell seems to be looking good with Trusley still behind center. I have heard Fulton is having a rough spot but their new QB has been starting to come together. Central hasn't been making a lot of noise in the 7v7 world but maybe that's a good thing? What's everybody's prediction for their team?

Bearden did beat SD last year. SD had two kids tear ACLs in that game however who were both starters. Bearden's oline is very big but are all new starters and just cannot block a pass rush. I remember one play our defensive end got to the quarterback before he could even get to his first read. Oline play was awful by Bearden. Candela did not play and that would have definitely helped. Candela and Ironside are Bearden's saving grace. By looking at their schedule I don't see them winning more than 5 games unless they can figure out a lot of things. Elijah Young took the ball 85 yards to the house against them the first play of the game and broke maybe 6 tackles on his way doing so. SD is loaded with good talent but Bearden is going to be in a rebuilding year. Just did not look good defensively.

Totally agreed. Two o line starters were out for us this spring plus our track guys. I am looking forward to our matchup again this year, hopefully it'll be better than the blowout last year. Should be for 1 and 2 in the region. Especially with you all getting Gaston back and that transfer from Carter.
