With this win, we will have a first round home game in the playoffs so that will help. With our youth I think we are 2 years away from being a really good team. Going to be fun watching them grow.

Rhea County in a close one if....(1) They cut down on penalty's.....(2) They don't turn the ball over, and finally......(3) They somehow learn some type of pass defense. Gibbs lit us up through the air and I'm sure Ooltewah will try to do the same..........Rhea 34 Ooltewah 28 Go Eagles!

Someone at the game told me tonight that Rhea has 8 freshmen starters.

Wow.....Rhea County in a close one, 34-27. Way to many penalty's and Gibbs attacked RC where it hurts.........through the air. Gibb's QB did a great job of picking Rhea apart. Eagles will have to do a better job next week against Ooltewah to stay undefeated. We are young but learning. Go Eagles!

Oh yeh, forgot about them too. Point was, I don't think Rhea is worried about moving up to 6A. Certainly tougher competition but we're not scared. GO EAGLES!

Agreed with most of your teams. However we've done very well against Ooltewah and Cleveland over the years.

For example, against who?

Freshman running back Ethan Davis. Contributing in a big way.

Who do you got? I think Rhea has it easy if they can stop them pesky turnovers. Rhea County 42-20

At least 6, maybe 7. 5 in the first quarter and a half.

41-7 Rhea County. Still, very sloppy game from our Eagles. We have to protect the ball. Too many turnovers.

Rhea by 3 td's. With this young team, they are only going to get better. Good luck EAGLES!

Like you say, it is what it is and until they play again........47-14. Make all the excuses you want. It's all good. I enjoy good-natured ribbing.

Prove you wrong? 47-14. Looks like you should prove ME wrong........Lol. Time will tell.

All you folks taking jabs at Rhea this year have a ball. Very young team that lost a lot of starters. I've got a feeling the next few years will be a different story.............just sayin...........GO EAGLES!

Hey Rockytop!...............CRICKETS???

Yep, you were right there on the line watching was you? LOL!

Wow.........Almost left at the end of the 3rd. Oh, how I wish we would throw on first down just once in a while. Would open things up sooooo much. Nothing like back seat coaching, right? LOL! GREAT COMEBACK EAGLES!

Rhea County in a barn burner. Last one with the ball?

I doubt it. If we can make it interesting I'd be happy. I believe this will be your year for a NC. Hopefully one day we can get back to the 10 year war like rivalry.

Agreed.....you're pretty smart for a Buckeye. GO BLUE!!

Lets see........they had signed statements from the players saying they were approached by the coaches involved. They also had signed statements from the coaches saying "we didn't do it". I know who's word I would take....................and it isn't the coaches after them being popped once already. I think the TSSAA is a lot like the NCAA in that they don't really put a lot of effort in these so called investigations.

What a shame..........

Just curious...............what happens should Powell have to forfeit games due to illegal recruiting? Especially if they win the state title. How fair would that be to Rhea County who lost to them in the playoffs?

It drives me crazy at times how one dimensional we are but what we do, we do well. I just wish we would throw to the tight end just enough to keep teams honest. We can usually run over teams that are our size but not much we can do with teams like Powell..............Maybe we can recruit a few players.
