I’d like to see ER OC grow a little as a play caller. He’s almost handcuffing himself by not being creative and getting his speedy play makers in space where they’re the most dangerous with the ball. I get he had a freshman under center, with what he’s got coming back and the experience gained he’s got to open it up if he wants to win the gold ball.

Man you’re salty as a country ham. You’d be really PO’d if they’d won the gold ball.

Congrats Riverside, the more complete and better team won.

Congrats PC well deserved and long awaited championship

Terrible call by the refs on the 2 pt upperman was in. Cost them the game

Mystified

This made me laugh picturing a grown man sitting starring at the TV trying to comprehend what he just saw

Spent many a night in Sneedville, had family friends up there, and I know what rural is. They may not be mountain rural but they are both small country communities.

One or these two teams will win its school’s first state championship in football tomorrow. Hoping for a clean, hard hitting, injury free, close game tomorrow. These two teams representing, small town, rural communities is what 1A and 2A ball is all about. Safe travels to all attending tomorrow, and good luck to both teams.

I think ER will have the same problem especially with the slant. They’ll be committed to stopping the run and I think it’ll open up opportunities across the middle for Riverside. Their QB can is pretty good at that from what little I have seen. It will be interesting how ER’s DC schemes for that.

I’ll give you my thoughts now. They’re a really great football team. Solid balanced offense with a great QB, hard running RB and talented receivers. Defense is really good too. D-line is the second best ER has faced all year, Smith County’s was better imho, LB’s are going to be toughest they’ve seen, and secondary is better than average. Overall the experience of playing in the championship last year will play in their favor. Make no mistake they are the favorites, but East is the more talented team.

What’s going to win this football game is Jimmy’s and Groves…..ER has a Jimmy or two and a lot of Groves

I never said they couldn’t be beat. You’re the one who mentioned weak schedules and said most people on the east side of the bracket didn’t know what a good football ball team was. Sorry we all can’t be football guru’s like you flatlanders

If you’re such the football guru then why discount ER? If you can’t see how talented they and good they are then you sir, don’t know jack about football.

Now who’s nut riding, since your Trenton boys are down?

Let us all bow down and kiss the ring of the great West TN dominate football programs

Regular season, outside of Smith county, I agree. The last 3 games of the playoffs, and on the road for all games, the opponents combined records were 34-2 and he torched them all. He’s played elite no matter the competition and I expect the same Saturday win or loose.

In the last two games, quarters and semis, he’s had almost if not over 400 yards rushing alone. I don’t think he’s had a game all year under 150/game, most only playing half to 3/4 a game. That’s pretty dang good and consistent in my book. He would most likely start at RB on any team in the state.

Yes NFHS…….if it’s still up.

That’s a great turn around in 2 years. I think he’s only been a head for 2 years and has a fairly young OC. He’s going to make mistakes it’s part of the process he’s learning and getting it done at the same time. They should’ve hired him when they hired Pond, I think he interviewed then too.

100% me too. When I saw some of the stats during the season I thought it was just the competition level, doing it consistently every Friday night is a horse of different color. Seeing him in person and watching what he does is pretty unbelievable. The way he cuts without having to slow down and plant his foot is what got me. Not many can do that. That’s elite. That’s why he’s a major D1 prospect.

I will. Looks to me like they spared the rod in that case. If it looks like it and smells like it….it probably is.

Thought I saw that last night. Went back and watched it this morning and he 100% did. I was looking to see if any adults struck a player and didn’t see anything on the film.

I thought the same thing. East kept their cool for most of the first half, but there’s only so much you take. I know East has had issues with unsportsmanlike penalties before the playoffs but thought the did ok up until the second half tonight….

York takes it to another level.
