This early in the season sloppy tackling is to be expected. A lot of teams don’t get to take people to the ground in practice and it usually shows up early on.

The last time Elizabethton scrimmaged DB there were so many fights the refs left. Honestly the scrimmage went a lot better without the refs.

That’s a shocking amount of points. Was it that the offenses were that good or the defenses were that bad?

According to the paper we had one more penalty yard than SH. Us with 112 and them with 111 I believe. The six opportunities to score inside the 5 and still couldn’t get it done. But what stuck out to me most was Betsy runs on and off the field. They run to the locker room at halftime. SH walked on and off and also walked to the locker room. That tells me all I need to know.

Betsy showed up on the field and in the stands. Proud of those young men tonight. Getting that 31st straight is the icing on the cake.

Tom Taylor will be streaming it but audio only. I don’t know that you will be able to watch a stream anywhere.

I believe game 1 will tell us a lot about both of these teams and the direction of their seasons. Everyone has heard about how many seniors SH has, but shouldn’t they have a lot of seniors every season given their enrollment? Betsy will have to replace three offensive linemen and the only Mr. Football winner in school history. If Betsy wins they will have a ton of momentum going into Rhea County. If things don’t go Betsy’s way we will see how they rebound and move forward.

I’ve rarely ever seen any SH people of here. On the Betsy side there will be a lot of new faces on the field. It will be kind of a flip flop from this game last season where SH was breaking in new kids.

Prayers for BVD!

Congratulations to Kodiak! I’ve been fortunate to watch him consistently the last three seasons and he is phenomenal.

My son played football from the age of five and started wrestling in the sixth grade. We viewed wrestling as a offseason training program since he didn’t play basketball. It not only made him better physically but also mentally. There is no where to hide on a wrestling mat. It created accountability. Seven years later my son is a five time state champion (2X football 3X wrestling). Wrestling made him a better football player and football made him a better wrestler. I would encourage anyone playing in the front seven to wrestle or at least give it a try.

I can agree with that. I would put my money in Milan right now.

After having been at the Elizabethton/Haywood game, if Haywood is the best the west has again this year the East side will walk away with it again. Regardless of which eastern team makes it.

I believe you’re correct.

Best match was the 195 lb. Pigeon Forge and I believe Signal Mountain wrestlers.

I was told Lewis was injured. Don’t know that for a fact but that’s what I was told.

NFHS network. I think it’s $11 and you subscribe for a month. Make sure you cancel when you’re done or they will keep billing you.

We just scored again.

Those transfers wouldn’t have sniffed one had they stayed where they were either.

All gas... lol. Betsy all day long.

We have a mav sighting. Lol

I’m not expecting this to be a mercy game. If Betsy gets a comfortable lead they will sit on it like they did last year against Springfield. Witten’s philosophy is that no one will remember the score, they will only remember if you won or lost. Betsy could’ve kept scoring last year. But the second half was about ball control.

I find it interesting that when you know you are about to get mercy ruled that you go out of your way to play dirty. But the two linemen (you know who you are) has all off season to think about that whooping they received tonight. One of them is going D1 but you wouldn’t have known it tonight.

Yes

If nolensville didnt sign up with NFHS it wouldn’t be on there anyway. Some schools went with them but I believe a lot more did not.
