Very similar start as last years playoffs for Powell as they have Ooltewah with 1 district win traveling up. Winner faces either Karns or Walker Valley. Thoughts or predictions?

I agree West looks really tough but I like how Powell matches up with them. Powell had no issue offensively against them last year in the playoffs but losing both Nolen brothers is tough. Would need them firing on all cylinders to have a chance.

Just replayed that last play by Catholic on offense. Saw two receivers for them start early. How refs didn’t catch that is beyond me.

Feel good after the crazy loss last year to them and now the refs doing all they can to help Catholic from my perspective.

I’ve noticed that too. Can’t believe refs can’t tell but we can from this far away from the action.

Maybe I’m wrong but a lot of these PI calls on Powell have been uncatchable balls. Is there no exception in high school ball?

That’s how I felt about the missed interception Soles had. A ref that couldn’t see called incompletion. It may have been but the ref had no way of telling.

Looks like 19 got a pick and the receiver stole it away. Powell got called for unsportsmanlike conduct but I saw a Catholic player flexing towards the Powell players. Maybe I’m a little biased but refs aren’t helping Powell out.

They’ve been getting a lot of questionable PI calls as well so I agree.

I saw Miami (The U) offered Soles earlier this week. I know Tennessee has tons of edge talent coming in but he plays with a lot of heart gotta love it.

Man Steven Soles can hit stick. Feel bad for the Catholic running back there. Looks like soles recovered the fumble too. Surprised UT has yet to offer him

Catholic helping Powell a lot tonight by dropping easy passes.

Could’ve sworn Wheeler got in for Powell towards the end of the half. Couldn’t really tell by the DCM viewpoint though.

One of the best plays I’ve seen by Powell this year with Magdos dragging the entire Catholic team down the field. Leads to a TD 7-6 Powell. Steven Soles looking like a power 5 recruit bringing pressure and batting down passes. Not sure why Catholic doesn’t use their big UT commit on the o-line?

Maybe not as serious as it looked at first. Couldn’t tell but the ad break didn’t last long so maybe he got up and will be okay.

Looked like a pretty bad leg injury to the RB Vaughn. Looked very similar to the Powell defensive players injury earlier in the year. Prayers and thoughts are with him.

Stream is doing fine for me on diamond clear media. If you can bare the ads and confusing commentary at times. The West police siren going off is pretty annoying as well.

Wouldn’t surprise me if that happens in the future but with all the freshman/transfers that are at Bearden now I’m sure he is looking to compete with the Maryville and Oakland. As long as the school doesn’t require him to be a teacher just be hired on to help the football program.

This game is just about bragging rights so no need to risk injury to anyone. I see Catholic winning. I saw a good coached team last year even with Powell’s great d-line they got the ball out quick and made good decisions.

Was it really just 50-0 in the first quarter?

Yea I give West the edge right now just based off total strength of schedule. 2. Nolensville. Heard some predict them going to state vs Powell in the preseason 3. Page 4. Munford since they have a pretty weak schedule.

Looks like Nolensville will move up to maybe the #2 spot even though that could’ve gone either way.

Yup I think the injuries made them lose their mojo as well. They really haven’t had bad losses except this game. Losing to 6a schools who are on the rise and defending state champs in Powell and now a 4a power house. I heard Powell’s coach saying he wants to meet whoever makes their schedules cause they aren’t doing them any favor. I think you could say the same about OR.

After how Oak ridge looked against Bearden I thought they would have a better season. Not sure what’s all going on but they’ve had a tough schedule with Farragut Bearden and Powell compared to Greeneville who has a negative strength of schedule. Still tough to lose the way they have lately.

Yup I agree with pretty much everything you say. If Powell wants a chance they can’t have any turnovers and all the bad penalties that bring back big plays. looks like #8 showed up today been pretty impressed by him today. Needed someone to step up to compliment Soles or else teams can just game plan all around him.
