I love that the boys don't seem to quit, but I have no idea where you see 2 wins.

Sweetwater and Brainerd is it.... Imo. Maybe they'll prove me wrong though. After losing to Tellico again, just don't see it.

Who wins and why? 

 Emotional let down after beating Soddy? 

Signal 21 Central 20

I thought Central would win, but I knew they'd have to earn it in this one.  Tellico is a pretty salty bunch!
Central fans just need to learn to be patient. Getting a new coach who's good doesn't bring instant success.

8-2 just became 2-8..Hate it for the boys. 

There are no words....

Central with the upset....

Central 22

McMinn 21

i think i heard wrong. McMinn is gonna obliterate them, their oline is not physical at all. I would be shocked if they won a game. 

You will be shocked then. They will win a few. 

Looked like they fixed some mistakes last week. Looked sharp during Friday's scrimmage. 25-14 over Sequoyah with 3 TD's called back and a fumble at the goal line.

Did any of you fellas  go to the central vs brainerd game I was so surprised they were able to come out that with a w after  losing to tellico in their second game

Finally started clicking. This team can play. Its going to be a good season. Athletes all over the field!

That team got some much needed off season help. Almost all the basketball guys are playing. 

Going offensive route huh? No OC from McMinn? 

???

Any word?

You don't make any money when you host mcminn central

Nothing can be farther from the truth. It will be one of your best visitor gates of the season. Good or bad, Central fans historically have traveled very well. I might could understand the Basin argument but McMinn Central fans would outnumber Sequoyah fans in Madisonville.

Playing teams so far away is not idea,  right now at our rural schools money is an important necessary for our sports programs.  The Seq. one makes no sense to me.  I have no clue why they won't play,  great game a close.  Having to travel to Chattanooga and Rockwood is fine enough.  Polk and Tellico are good pick ups.  I am not necessarily a fan of the Copper Basin game, but at least they will play.  I remember having to play Alcoa, Rhea Co. and other good programs.  Those were tough years.  I think we need to focus on building a program and gaining some revenue before venturing out.

Copper Basin and Sequoyah refused to play Central. 

Coach Davis is an awesome coach. I say the job got stressful and he wanted to take it easy and enjoy the sport instead of the constant grind. I love this guy and hope he has a great time coaching at Rhea. It seems to be a "riding off in the sunset" type of moment. He has earned this time and deserves the accolades and respect. I am thankful for the effect he has had on my life and career. Thanks Coach Davis!

Whoever is hired, I hope that the community rallies around this guy and helps as much as possible. It can not be just one man, "it takes a village." No more Englewood vs. Etowah, it has to be CENTRAL CHARGERS. No more division there. Get behind this hire and reach out to help. Former players, coaches etc. Be willing to invest in the program!

Focus on Spring Football and then make a hire by the end of May or Early June? 

Sweetwater almost lost to Tellico. A 3-7 class 2A football team. Won on a last minute TD. That same Sweetwater had Red Bank 7-7 @ the half and was only down 14-7 in the 4th Q. Red Bank pulled away with a flurry of points. Alcoa would have put 50 on Sweetwater by half. Their signals are EASY to pick up on. I'm sure Loudon picked up on it and Alcoa will as well if they haven't already. Alcoa is a  different animal than Region 3-3A. Red Bank has some guys who look great against average 3A teams. They have one D Lineman who is a true D1 guy and only SEC talent. He's a stud. The twister will be too much for Red Bank to handle. Nowhere to hide from an F5. 

1st Q 

Alcoa 14

Red Bank 7

Halftime

Alcoa 20

Red Bank 7

End of 3rd Q 

Alcoa 34

Red Bank 10

Final

Alcoa 41

Red Bank 10 

It is what it is. 3A isn't a challenge until State for Alcoa. 4A and 5A probably wouldn't be either.

I hadn't heard that. Perhaps he's being entertained with a better offer?

UTC has been recruiting him pretty hard, even after the commitment to WCU. Maybe that has something to do with it. 

Red Bank wins this one. 

Red Bank 23

Loudon 0

 I would have thought resources would be available to support contact tracing 7 days a week to ensure folks are notified timely. 

You would think so. People are notified immediately but the schools have different protocols to follow. It's red tape and paperwork.

Amen to that, they couldnt let a pandemic go to waste for one side getting what they wanted

It's making sense now. The whole team is quarantined until that official contact tracing document can be submitted on Monday. The timing sucked for McMinn and DB probably moves on as they accept the COVID win. 

Both teams should meet Monday and play OT rules until there's a winner. Just like they used to do with Tie Breakers for playoffs back in the day.  

*Maryville has plenty of films on both teams I'm sure. Probably an entire season worth.

im not saying that i know more than people do, but i sit in section F in j fred and barely to the right is where the away/freshman locker rooms are, i walked down to the front row about 5 feet from them\ coaches where the ywere talking on the railing outside the locker room. I didnt hear any talk of oh we followed all the rules and were getting screwed. After Cagle got off the phone an assistant coach said "they're really gonna cancel this because of 1 protocall". Again it was an emotional time and it might be a bogus rule, but it sounded like they wanted a rule to be overlooked and just play. Again im just a DB fan who wanted the game to be played and im probably biased. Just telling you what i heard.

That protocol may have been the list of contact traces you turn into dept of health after a pos case. No way tracing can be official until Monday when health dept opens. McMinn will turn in zero names but will be official with doh. Here's the issue I have. If Dept of Health can make a call on a Friday at 700pm. They should allow McMinn the op to turn in the official list of traces on Saturday! Alot of fishy stuff going on from all sides
