East slightly improved from last year...but it won’t be enough.  E-Town...easy.

Upset.  AE for the win.

Just kidding.  AE has some athletes, but they make too many mistakes...even deep into their season.  If that changes-it’s possible.

I think this will be a tough one for the Landers.  

Alcoa.  

Sorry AE.

One player...you should not have dropped wrestling...

Not a HV person-just providing commentary.

 I could also say the same about Cloudland’s best player-just one player-who happens to be your offensive leader.

Yeah go back to bragging about how good Happy valley is now that they are playing 2A

Yeah...the players that HV lost to Elizabethton was enough to lower their enrollment.

Austin east next loss 

Yeah, AE’s going down-mercy rule by second half.

Fritzabethton gonna Fritzabethton.  

He was trying to make Betsy look better.  It is easy to see...when you’ve read his articles for a long time.

Read that a min ago-good article. 

It was a smart move and it saved HV’s season.

Fritz is hilarious. I remember a column a few years ago explaining why Elizabethton was going to compete with and maybe overtake Alcoa when they were still in AAA. 

Yeah, I remember.  They actually gave them a good game once. (In Elizabethton’s defense).  That was a good Betsy team and an average (but still awesome) Alcoa team if I remember right.  I’m sure one of the Alcoa boys will let us know.  LOL

Fritzy’s next favorite is Unicoi. (Usually b-ball). However this year he was giving 5 star ratings to Unicoi for their performance against such football giants as North Green and Unaka.

 He sometimes throws a bone to Science Hill, to keep his readers happy...  He should write for the Elizabethton Star.

I have yet to figure out how anyone who writes for any Tennessee paper and  has seen Greeneville, Tennessee on a map and still not think Greeneville is in the NET or upper east Tennessee area.

You can blame Doug “Fritzabethton” in the Johnson City Press for that.  He wants Elizabethton’s star to shine a little brighter before the big Greene extinguishes it-for good.

Ha ha we lost but we had the ball with  8 min to go and up 8 points and lost.  Turnovers

Yeah, I was surprised. You guys had AE and the turnovers killed you.  

If you guys make it past GP (which I believe could happen) AE will be a more difficult game for you this year, due to inexperience.  Earlier in the year I read that you lost almost all of your starters from last year on both sides of the ball.  You were picked to finish third in the District-if that.  Yet- you still managed to have a very good season.  That’s hard to do...anywhere.

I’m impressed with the progress your head coach is making up there.  

-Back to the topic at hand-

Everyone can talk smack all they want but all 3A roads end at the same place...region 1 just gets there first.

I’m thinking it should be “skippin witten”, until proven otherwise.....

You sir...are over the target...

Hope you read this “skippin witten”.

Kingston is looking better than I thought.  Do they run the Wing-T?

However, If they lose the edge to that Lewis Kid, he will take it to the house.  

Interesting game...could go either way.  I give Kingston the edge on “schedule difficulty”.

“Hard hittin Witten” doesn’t want to play Alcoa?

I thought that was what the “Return to Dominance” campaign was all about?

Or RTD as they called it a few years back.

Betsy has the opportunity to step up and play Alcoa the next two years. However, I’m hearing Witten isn’t going to accept the invite.......

I’d be shocked if he did.  I’d be there watching if it happened!

If Betsy hadn’t moved up to avoid Alcoa...Region 1 would have been a bit more interesting.   However, they ran into Greenville instead...

Region 1 AAA needs another team-(I think they have six).  

As for Claiborne vs Alcoa-Sucks for both teams.

If it rains Thursday night and Friday Morning as predicted. My score spreads to JC 21 GP 6

Yeah, that muddy field has claimed many bigger, faster, and stronger teams over the years-including my own!

Sounds like Greeneville hurt some feelings in here.

I am going with the Horns on this one. I think GP may have the edge when it comes to a tougher schedule and maybe even a few more athletes. However, Johnson County got that fire going with back to back conference championships. its going to be tough on ole GP traveling up in the real mountains of East Tennessee and pulling it out with all those horn fans in their ear. I go with JC 28 GP 24.

I’m with you.  I like JC’s speed/defense  They held that Unicoi’s Lewis #9 to 72 yards.  His average was over ten yards a carry until Johnson County.

I know it is hard for the locals and the die-hards but a coach should always be hired/fired on his fourth year results.  

Well, unless it is a total disaster.  

Things are a little more interesting here than I thought they would be.

Betsy wins.

WE KNOW,  DON'T THINK WE HAVE A 4 6. I THINK THIS MAY BE YOUR 1ST EVER PLAYOFF WIN IF YOU DO, . YOUR FANS NEED THIS BUT YOU WILL WORK FOR IT 

In the playoffs last year, they beat Northview and had a good lead on Austin East...before an acute case of fumble-itis.

They can win until they meet Alcoa-but that is everyone.
