I agree bulldogQB2. I am from the area and I hear a lot about Maryville. A lot of people don't like Maryville because they win so many games and that is understandable. I have heard it said about them many times, you may not like them, but it is hard not to respect them for the success of their program. I have seen Maryville play several times. It is a first class place.

If the game is turnover free, this should be a good game to see. PF's back is against the wall. They know that this is a make or break game for them. GP will be fired up because of last years loss at Hammonds field. Whoever wins this one, it should be a good game to watch! I hope this series continues in the future. I hear that the rivalry keeps the fire burning year around between the two schools!

Does anyone know what the enrollment is at Alcoa? Are they close to 3A or will they be 2A for a while? If Alcoa ever goes 3A, they would probably be in 2-3A. Alcoa Fulton Catholic AE AC Kingston LA Scott County Did I leave anybody out? If not, what a region!

I know that the new HC has a lot to do with the O, but I think it is someone else on staff. I could guess but I am really not sure on the name.

BEEF and EAGLE3314: Both of your points are well taken. I do appreciate what you explained in each of your last posts. GO TIGERS and GO EAGLES!

You and bro beef and are right off. Your post is critical of PFHS. You are bringing up the past again like others who want to see the program fail because of connections or ties to the former head coach who was let go. Let the past die. Let it go for the sake of the football team and most importantly the kids who play. By the way, I have heard plenty of things about the former coach that supports every reason known to let him go. By what you are stating, I am sure that you heard of every reason that there is to keep him, but you and me don't make the decisions. Leave that to the adm and forget it. It is in the past. If you support PFHS football then say something positive about the here and now. By the way, I would say that you and beef are Cosby fans. Glad you guys are 2-0. Tough game coming up Friday. It would be great to see the new and improved Cosby team at 3-0.

If Knox Catholic plays well, they should win by 2 td's, otherwise it's close. I think that the surprise lost to Red Bank hurt AE and they are still tryin to recover. AE has some great athletes, but KC has more experience on the field.

I am not trying to make excuses about the team or their performance. I agree that it is gut check time for the team. I am saying that the school is young and the coach is new, etc. I don't see that the negative comments being made about PFHS as being constructive or helpful. It was just another opportunity to slash the program. Your comments, I don't believe were to cause damage. I would not argue this with you, but I think that there is a difference in mens and womens bball and mens baseball in comparison to football. Much fewer players, logistics, money, etc. is required to make these sports successful than football. It is much easier to come up with eight athletes with the right frame of mind for bball, or 12 or 14 for mens baseball, than it is for 28 to 30 for football. Anytime that you are dealing with more people it is much harder to get everybody on the same page. The memories of the junk that I heard went on with the football team the past couple of seasons is still lingering this year. Your right, PFHS has a group of senoirs that need to get it going. Forget the past and move on, but when dealing with kids most of the time it is easier said than done. The knock on the Principal and saying that PFHS is a joke is not needed because it is untrue.

Winners: Knox Catholic Scott County Livingston Academy Knox Fulton

volcamry42: Looks like you know them (Goodpasture) well. I know that Alcoa has 4 very good running backs and a very quick and talented QB. Their defense is amazingly fast. They cover everywhere (run and pass) on the field so very well. Alcoa played 4A powerhouse Maryville very close last week. I will be really surprised if they don't make it to the final 2A game. Good luck to Goodpasture this season. Good chance both teams will run into each other.

funny Unitas! I believe that he will be attending primary school at one of the two schools mentioned first. I hope that he graduates kindergarten this spring!

Just curious. Who do you think will win 2A and why?

Alcoa played Maryville in a very close game last Friday night. Final Score Maryville 17 Alcoa 14. If you don't know much about Alcoa's cross town rival Maryville, they have won quite a few 4A championships in the past 4 or 5 years, and Maryville is loaded again this year. Alcoa has to be clearly considered the best in 2A because of how they matched up against a team like Maryville this early in the season.

Region 2-3A. East TN. Unless something crazy happens, Catholic or Fulton should be 1/2 of the 3A Championship Game. Both teams are loaded with the winning ingredient.......Speed.

back to predictions.......after seeing both play........scott will overpower os. same score as last week for os, different team......scott 28 os 7
