Losing to Walker Valley in a 20min qtr 14-0 does not look good for McMinn

Crazy

Listen Old Charger we’ve had our disagreements but I really think this will be a close game. 

McMinn passes the paper test and eye test. Idk. McMinn's secondary isn't good. Walker Valley would shred them but Central can't throw

Haven’t been on here in a while but what happened to us at our jamboree? I wasn’t there but did we not play our starters or something? I was kinda disappointed in those outcomes. Especially the 2nd one. I heard Brainerd wasn’t supposed to be good. 

Shocking outcome. Brainerd and Walker Valley aren't that good. Walker Valley has an awful rush defense and that's McMinn's specialty. Everyone confused.

I was pretty impressed with Davis had done with your guys defensively. Played really well against Sweetwater last night. Wish you guys good luck

Couldn't get offense going but defense did have some moments. Good luck to you all as well. Good looking team you have.

Cross Creek rivalry 2019

Both teams had an up and down pre-season. Always tough to beat a 6a school. Even tougher when McMinn looked good against Central's Region favorites. 

Tough to always have to start the year off against McMinn but the powers that be forced this one to continue "good for the community." I heard Central had Sequoyah on the schedule week 1 and was forced to change that. How convenient that McMinn plays Sequoyah this year instead of Central. Have to get some wins somehow since their request to move down to 5A was denied by TSSAA.

Just hoping both teams come out injury free in this typically one sided "community social event." 

Central has been in it at half last 10 years and McMinn runs away in the 2nd. I hope I'm wrong but I think this is McMinn from start to finish. Too much speed and size this year. 

McMinn County - 38

McMinn Central - 19

Should be a fun scrimmage. Go Big blue!!

Good scrimmage! I didn't think we would compete at all. Tyner had a few out which made a big difference. However, it was still Tyner. Proud of the Chargers.

My apologies. I was thinking etowah might have been taken to the woodshed with how quiet oldcharger was being, but them not playing yet makes more sense. 

lol I'll be here either way. I believe they will be humbled this scrimmage for sure though. 

And that isn't a bad thing. Huge shift going from playing Walker Valley to a power house like Tyner.

How bad did Tyner beat McMinn?
Who is it you say is supposed to be loaded this year?

I've been told for months that this is McMinn's year. 

35 minutes ago, TynerRamFan said:

Could be closer than your 4-1 score. Tyner had a couple of players that got banged up (including the QB). You never know in a controlled scrimmage how it will play out. Coach Turner and Coach Davis know each other due to playing against each other so many years. I am looking for a very competitive game!!

Oh I hope it's competitive since y'all handled McMinn. But from all accounts they are supposed to be loaded this season. 

This scrimmage will be a test of Central's toughness. Quick turnaround from Friday and against a very fast and tough Tyner football team. 

My prediction...……..Tyner 4 Central 1

How did the Chargers look on defense? I’m sure WV tried to throw it a bunch? 

Very vanilla. Stayed in base defense even though it hurt them on the short game. Had 2 interceptions. One returned for a TD. Had a goal line stop. Alot of missed tackles.

With all due respect, that was not the case at all. The intent (for WV) last night was not about the score. Instead, it was about working on details and getting as many players as possible valuable experience. One thing is certain, WV needs to get healthy.  As mentioned before, five of their top players are out for the year, and last night seven other starters were held out. Prayers for the kids appreciated!

Yes. That was the 'case.'

Central plays at Tyner @ 5:30p

And from the sound of the McMinn scrimmage this might be a hard day for the chargers! Tyner going to be really good. Might give Meigs a run for their money.

Listen buddy. Firstly, I didn’t make the statement that: “walker Valley is definitely going to beat etowah.” I stated that if WV loses, it’s going to be a LONG year for them in 5a. So I am more right, saying that WV is in for a long year, than I am wrong. Secondly, Derrick Davis is a good ball coach, but he is not going to magically make this team into a region contender. You speak of these “horses” that etowah has. Where are they? Your football team won 1 (!!!) game last year. Are these “horses” coming from other sports? If so, the basketball team wasn’t as good as it normally is last year, and did your baseball team even win a game last year?

I just want to provide a dose of reality for you fine folks talking like a region title is on the way. 

And NO WHERE "BUDDY" did I say you said that.

You said Central doesn't have the horses to compete with Walker Valley. They do and did.

Then said Central to be solid has to make the playoffs and win a game. You said they don't have that potential. And they do! 

Nobody said Region Title. I even stated 5-5. 4 region teams make the playoffs. Not just the region champs.

Central has the potential to take 4th place and win 1 playoff game. 

They will not compete for the Region.

Central’s playoffs start September 6 with Sweetwater. That game, along with Brainerd and Signal, will essentially be playoff games. Have to win two. All of those teams are better than Walker Valley. 

Only Sweetwater and Brainerd are "playoff games." Win two and you're in. Central will be 5-5 and in the playoffs with a chance to win first game.

He said.

#1) Walker Valley should beat lol Etowah and shouldn't have the horses to compete vs. Walker Valley. 

He was wrong

#2) Central can't make playoffs and win one. 

Hes wrong again because it's possible

Putting a pin in this and will revisit it the week of September 27.

Playoffs start early this year? That's awesome!

3 hours ago, BBG1 said:

No, they will still be down. Better than last year? Definitely. Being considered “strong” means having the ability to get to the playoffs and actually win a game. Etowah does not have that potential this year. 

And you're wrong.

That's twice now. 

Central has the horses.

Central has that potential.

Central has won 7 games in 4 years, they’re not going to EASILY win anything. There are 5 games they should be competitive in and 2 they should be favored in. They will be much improved but there will still be growing pains. 

Central was 10-31 in 4 years before they went 10-3 in 2014. Past means nothing. New team, new players and new coach. 

Meigs only won 10 games in 4 years before going 6-5 in 2014......past means nothing!
