... How about the Vikings return/specialty teams??? Who returns kicks and punts? Field position will be very important to THS. The only chance the Vikings have of staying in this game is to win the field position battle in the first half and keep the game close. If DB does not turn the ball over, then THS will have to decide to be content with a 24-7 loss; or try to open it up(big mistake) and gamble some on offense. The game would get away from them at that point and end up around 38-10.... My prediction is that THS will play hard but by the end of the third quarter realize the biggest game of the year is South next week.... DB 38 THS 10

...South fans fell into a Mental trap because of last year's ballgame. DB lost starting QB (McCord) in the first series of play. Even with that, DB sould have been ahead by two scores at the half. A wide open WR in the end zone caught a pass and tried to stay in bounds on a ball that floated out wide. His toes were 4 inches out. He was wide open. Cody Sensabaugh caught a long pass and scored. He was ruled down 6 inches short. Game replays later showed he scored, but DB fumbled the snap and lost the ball on the next play. DB easily could have been ahead by two touchdowns. DB's defense contained South until Phillips ran the one long touchdown. From there, South had and kept the momentum. They had their chance to Upset DB in the 4th quarter. DB CAUSED the turnovers in the 4th to escape with victory. South left that game saying shoulda, woulda, coulda; but did not capitolized. Last year's offense was struggling all through fall camp; even before McCord went down, and then had to adjust even more. Because of the near upset last year, and the success South had in the MLC, the expectations laid a Mental Trap about this year's game. This year's DB team is deep and talented at all positions. Both offense and defense are ahead of last year, and will continue to get better. This is a strong and experienced senior group. One note about the loss of South's center. It caused major problems early. The coaches should have moved Phillips up under center and controlled those snaps better. Your coaches let you down last night. No adjustments. Oh, and DB lost it's center in the 1st qt last night too. Good Luck the rest of the year. You don't have to like us; but you should respect the level that the DB program is at. Playing us will only make you better if you learn from it!!

Game Day!! Big Crowd tonight... False hope from last year will be put in it's place... Stout Defense and Big Play offense will wear South down... DB 34 south 14

Less than 34 hrs till Kickoff ...Art was wrong. One of those touchdowns was a field goal. DB 38 Elz 0 Roll Tribe!!

A little over 51 hrs and counting.... DB will be ready 38 - 0 Roll Tribe!!

Owl, There was talk between coaching staffs during the winter about playing regular season games with each other. Coach Clark said they were close to an agreement when another local team here called back and agreed to play DB again. I hope in the future this could happen. We play Oak Ridge every year and that relationship is benificial for both programs. Two teams dropped off our schedule from last year and two 4A programs(Tn High & Eliz) came back on. I was hoping we would bring Maryville onto the schedule. We scrimage them every year and that releationship is good too. The better the competition, the better you are at this time of the year. Hopefully the Owls and the Indians can become and regular matchup in the future. Roll Tirbe!!

As of now this game is not being live streamed video. TSSAA does not allow it. At least not until there is money going their way. My info said no stream for the first two rounds.

Look for a balanced DB offense tonight. Bo Burton will start and do just fine. McCord and Rogers will continue to settle back in at WR. Big night for the Indians as they clinch the outright Big East title and get ready for the playoffs. Also, Channel 15 CSS will carry the Oak Ridge/Farragut game at 7:30 tonight. Roll the Tape....

I hope Science Hill runs some Quick Slants like Tennesse High tried to do. It is also hard to throw from your backside. DB 38 SH 6

The Live Simulcast is awesome for our football program. Everybody pass the word and send out email to friends and family to watch. Roll Tribe!!
