Carter 35, Anderson County 27......... Nuff Said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You hit the nail on the head about Carter. Lots of teams play kids both ways, but Carter has shown that they are about three steps beyond that. Carter will probably win 6 or 7 games this year and make the playoffs in order to get thier usual embarassment. Not going to change until they learn to develop more players. South Doyle may be for real this year. I know, its just Carter, but this is the sort of game they have lost the last several years. Lets keep in touch the next couple of weeks and see what develops. And yeah, they have some men in the trenches. Nuff said

Scot Indian Listen.......... Stop talking so much and listen. I think what Leonard is trying to say in a kind way is "Scott County is not a very good Region 2-AAA team and pointing fingers in other directions isnt going to change that". This thread is about Grainger County not your rantings. Nuff Said

Congratulations Volunteer......Great Win !!!!!!!!

That is just mean......................no reason for it.

Seymour 23, Carter 14.........Seymours kicking game is the difference here. Plus the fact of payback. Eagles win this one.

Not too sure about the playoffs, but SD should win this on by 21. Perhaps 5 - 5 and maybe the playoffs.

Hats off to Halls. The halftime score looked like what I and the West Rebels thought the game would be. Only thing, Julian and the Halls players thought different. Good job!!!!!! Too many teams roll over and give up after being down like that at the half. Not Halls............ I believe, I believe...........

Facts are: Carter will continue to beat up on less talented teams and lose to the good teams. The trend has been in place for several years now and it isnt going to change. The only change was moving from the toughtest 4A Region in the state to the weakest 3A Region in the state. Facts are: Carter (ie... the coaching staff) plays and has played 16 man football for years. When you only have 6 guys on the line that can play or else your afraid you will get them hurt, someone else hurt or embarassed; it means you havent developed your players. You dont develop players when your ahead 35 - 0 at the half and your 2's only get to play a couple of minutes. It also means that when you do play a good team, your 16 guys are too tired to give it their best late in the game. The situation isnt going to get any better next year or the year after until someone figures out how to substitute. Not meant toward you Miney, but everyone wants to beat up on qbsdad. At least he has the guts to discuss what he sees. I've read several posts here and it sounds as if everyone else is afraid to give an honest opinion. Maybe they are afraid that junior will get placed at the end of the bench or that someone will get mad at them. At least qbsdad doesnt sugarcoat everything. There is no need to get personal about things but it IS ok to state an opinion. Nuff said.....................

Halls is better but so is West. May be close at the half but speed kills in the second half when the defense gets a step slower. West by 14...............Nuff Said

Why go for one when you can go for two......sooner or later its going to cost them a game. Too good a program to not have a kicking game. Not needed this week though. Fulton by however much they decide.

AE takes this one easily. 35-7. Carter is very inexperienced this year and AE's speed will exploit all those deficiencies. Watts and Jones will bring the d-backs up to stop the run and then Montgomery will have his break out game against Carter. It may be close at halftime but its pretty apparent that Carter cant stay with good teams for four quarters because they insist on playing 16 man football. AE rules this one................

This one may come down to the kicking game, and we know who that favors. Been saying it all year, but when you dont cover "all" the basics, sometimes you get bit at an inappropriate time. The other factor is the Catholic defense. The first two Fulton posessions of the second half are the critical area. Historically, this is the point that Rogan takes over. Gonna be a good one. Good luck to both teams.

Great reply. I think you summed up this thread, like completely, dude...... or dudette, as the case may be. Me-thinks that people squabble over, like entirely random things, and if they would just try to get along, then, like, they could just be, like, whatever..........., you know? Now, isnt that better.

Whats the old joke......I went to a fight and a football game broke out !!!! The coaches, administration, and game officials all knew before this game started that emotions were running high. These two teams played just a few weeks ago in a game marred with late hits and unsportsmanlike conduct. When all this is known beforehand and it is still allowed to happen, one has to ask where the adult supervision was? Football is an emotional sport, but there are hundreds of teams across Tennessee that somehow are able to play football and yet maintain dignity and sportsmanship. Pulling hard for Catholic to represent East Tennessee in the playoffs........

Catholic by 14, but they better come ready to play. AE has improved with each game this year and this is the game of the year for them.

Sorry, but I just have to resond to all this. Most people would agree, a football team is a reflection of thier coach. If thats the case, then these two coaches need to go to counseling for anger management. Sounds as if the coaches have lost control of thier respective teams. Fulton has always played with swagger and all that it entails, but until the last couple of years, I have always known Carter to have good sportsmanship. Is this what winning begets and is this the price you pay to have a winning football program???? There are a lot of schools around that have winning football programs that can still maintain thier integrity even if they lose a close game or two. Looks as if these two teams are a volatile mix and the coaches and officiating crew need to get a firm grip from the start of Friday's game. Good luck to both teams.

Consider this: While there may be mismatches in the first round of the TSSAA Football Playoffs; of the 40 first round games involving #1 seeds in the public schools this year, 9 of the #1 seeds were upset. Three of the #1 seeded teams that lost, went into the playoffs with perfect 10-0 records. Class 5-A had 4 #1 seeds ousted, which would tend to inicate that there is more balance in the larger schools. Lets hear it for all the underdogs that didnt realize they were supposed to roll over and play dead ! The #4 seeded teams that won were: Lake County Sweetwater Peabody Sycamore Haywood William Blount LaVergne Ravenwood Hendersonville Way to go !!!!!!!!!

Thats just plain mean!!!! Why do you feel the need to bash a great school and why oh why do you feel the need to justify losing to the team that lost to the team that won the State Championship last year........ Are you afraid it might happen again. Hmmmmmmmm

What happened? Heard the score at the half was 14 - 3. I thought my choice to go see OR play Oltewah was a waste until I heard the final on this one. I really thought Carter would give Fulton a game of it. Did Carter turn the ball over a lot in the second half? Maybe Region 2 IS that much better.....

Got to agree with you on this one. Been saying all year long that Fulton HAS to get the kicking game going or its going to cost them. All I hear is that its better to go for 2 than it is for 1. Fulton could get bit by the kicking game in this one. Time will tell..............

Looks like Carter finally broke loose. Did the offense finally click or were they just that much better? Who is next and is it a home game?
