Betsy needs to adjust to the players they have now. The guys that made those same couple of plays work over and over are gone. Hopefully they figure something different out over the next couple of weeks. 

AC wins 35-6.

Still say th at a 3 day tourney for a 16 man bracket is absolutely the dumbest decision I have seen made in the time I have been involved in this sport.  It’s either Incompetence or greed.  Either way it’s a very dumb decision. 
 

oh and good job on the predictions but I am sure a lot of the weights will change. 

T$$AA. Going from a one day last year to three days this year should tell you all you need to know.

Congratulations to Betsy! Well played, well coached. Big W strongly deserved. I must put put away my worn Green and white and find some orange and black for next week. A temporary Cyclone till next year. GO REGION 1.

You’re a great guy and were always very supportive of my son. I would like to meet up with you when you head back to this side of the state. Maybe even catch a wrestling match.

As I rewatched the game on NFHS, it appeared that #21 didn’t even join the handshake line. Could be wrong, but it sure seemed that way. 

If he was going to have another tantrum like he did while Betsy was in the victory formation that’s probably for the best.

I did notice some really poor sportsmanship by Betsy Players on Facebook. A video was post of the players after the game. Hopefully Witten takes care of that. 

Hopefully the poor sportsmanship shown by 71 and 21 for the devils will be handled as well. It goes both ways.

Why don’t we go ask Mr Qullian from Greenville that?

So was it the QB or his dad that sent it?

Who’s sending the bouquet with a cute little note attached  to GHS Monday?

Well we know The mavs might not make it to next week what about that! Lol

But it’s their year……….. again 

Just saw where the AC quarterback is out indefinitely. Prayers for him whatever the situation.

Elijah Williams, #16. Tough kid and seems like he impressed a lot of people last night.

Where did he transfer from?

Mavericks are still in the hunt...still some work to do but will be ready.

Just based on common opponents at this point AC is still way down the line. Betsy beats Science Hill by 19, then AC loses to Science Hill by 15. I’m not picking a winner here but it appears that is a lot of getting ready to do to play with Betsy. Much less Greeneville. 

Gvilles lack of discipline only thing keeping Betsy in it.

GREENE - Boone has Elizabethton next week so please soften them up for us.     If you are ahead by 20 in the 4th quarter then keep the starters in, don't let up until the final horn sounds.       We are 2-33 against Elizabethton and have been outscored 1089 to 385.      So come on GREENE'ies, give a brother a break, huh??   (hhe-heh_

Who is Boone running into the ground this season? It was the Cole kid, then the Blair kid. So who is this seasons 40 plus touches and plays both sides of the ball guy?

Congratulations, I would assume the COVID win would be added (or should be) not your all’s fault.

The game was rescheduled to a later date so no Covid win.

Nolen is 1 dude that you can double team on the line and get away with it.  Powell’s defense sucks other than him.  

He will go hard one play then take the next three off. If they ever get him in shape we will really get to see what he’s capable of.

Watched game on NFHS and SH started off slow but finished strong.

It’s almost like they have to get punched in the face a few times to get it going.

I picked AC again Mav, but not so fast! I feel a sense of over confidence here. You all gave up 60 last week, while they held Betsy to 34. You can say speed. Science Hill has speed. They have veterans everywhere. They like to throw. You played Powell. They played the 2 time defending 4A state champions, who have a legit opportunity to make it 3. Having said that I believe you will control the line of scrimmage offensively anyway and a big coaching edge!

I agree with the speed. But Science Hill is very short, especially at defensive back. Neither are close to 5’9”. Both of their MLB are 5’9” or shorter. If AC can throw over the top and wear down the middle of the defense they will walk through this one. I agree with the big coaching edge as well. Carter the last several years has managed to get the least out of his players.

You are definitely right about that because it hurt Deuce as well.

Parker shouldn’t be a walk on at MTSU. Cole shouldn’t be a walk on at ETSU. Deuce went NAIA because he had no interest in paying to play. He had a PWO to UAB. Wanted no part of it. Personally, I don’t think the college kids should’ve gotten a extra year much less giving high school kids one.

That definitely hurt Parker Hughes last year for Betsy.

He’s not the only one.

As far as I know we attempted with Mitchell NC and couldn’t come to agreement ( they didn’t want to travel). And I really don’t blame them.  Hampton will be a better game for them and they get to stay home.  We don’t necessarily “need” a replacement for Friday as that game is rescheduled for October.  

I would have liked to have seen Hampton come to Betsy.

Well you just lost all credibility with your first sentence. 1000x better, Really?   Both QB plays Great and combined to go 13-20 for 279 Yards and 3Td's and both played against Central's first team.  In my opinion Cannon has the stronger arm and Quillen probably has the better running ability and bigger game experience since he got the start after Drew went down last year.

I will agree with him having the big game experience. He played way better in the playoff game at Betsy last year than he did in the regular season game. You could really see the growth. Cannon does have the better arm but nowhere near the game experience. A lot of season left to play so I’m sure it will work itself out. Take it easy on the griz this week.

Science Hill will have their hands full this week, AC is a strong team. Not flashy, but their offense will control the ball by mixing pass and running with a big strong kid running the ball.  Science Hill can throw on them, like Powell did, 

SH appeared to prefer to run the ball against Besty. I don’t know if that was their plan all along or if it just played out that way. From what I’ve seen SH only had 82 passing yards.

Anderson County will welcome Science Hill to the BullRing Friday.  Both teams come in with a week one loss, but I expect the Mavs to come in with a ton of confidence after bouncing a very talented Powell team from pillar to post before running out of gas in a four hour marathon game.  Hats off to Powell, but I think any Powell person will tell ya, they got all they wanted Friday night.  Mavs have shown they can line up and score from anywhere on the field.  They threw for 300+ Friday and ran it for another 300.    Defensively, they will have to tackle better Friday, and I bet the coaching staff will make that a point of emphasis.   I was disappointed in the kick coverage, but pleasantly surprised in the other areas of special teams.  The turnout of fans at the Powell game was outstanding.  Energy was at 100 for the entire game, and that was fun to be a part of.  This week, with the home crowd, I would expect the Mavericks to bring the energy level at 100 again, but they have to maintain it.  They must play 4 quarters of football.  They are explosive on offense, and can get some stops on defense.  I believe this will be the first meeting between the two schools, and I will look forward to seeing the Science Hill fans in the stands.  Science Hill fans will need to go 75N to Anderson County Exit 122 , and we will be about a half mile off the exit with a lot of restaurants to eat at.  I talked to AD Terry Friday,  and Kick off is at 7:30, 

I wouldn’t expect much of a crowd from SH. Betsy outnumbered them 5-1 at least last Friday and the game was in Johnson City. I hate that the SH kids don’t have more support from such a large school/community.

My personal opinion and i feel like many others think cannon is better. But Quillens Dad is a coach and their family is a major donor so I feel that can be a reason. But Quillen has done some good things. 

The Betsy and Gville game will be a battle just as it’s supposed to be. From what I saw last night gville has enough weapons to make up for the Quillen kids parents calling the shots. I hate it for the Cannon kid and any kid getting the shaft cause they don’t have the “right” last name. Sadly it’s something that goes on everywhere. Some places worse than others. I’ve seen MANY examples of it here in Betsy.
