Sullivan South @ Unicoi County

[HiGipper]

I look fot this game to flow a lot like the Elizabethon game, slow start and pump up the volume 2nd half. Score may be close to the same also...........

SS - 35 UC - 07

I'm not a faithful follower of Erwin although I've spent much time on the Appalachian Trail running through their mountains. It seems their QB is a bit larger than Curt and can throw the ball even though his percentages are in the 30's. They look to have a rather large O Line with one exception 5'8" or 5'9" I think. It looks like their secondary is weak. I played in the same era as Mr. Cooper who is a permanent fixture at the school. It is interesting to note that he (Cooper) was part of the very successful early 70's athletics programs at Erwin. Actually, All of Sullivan County and the Quad Cities were extremely tough in that era which include 2 assistants at South, 2 at Central and actually a time when in the 80's almost every head coach in the Tri-Cities and surrounding areas was from that era. And almost from one school. Suffice to say that Erwin has a good man at the helm. To shut down Souths passing attack will take some trickery. It has been done successfully but the avenues are narrow (oxy-moron) and very risky. Jordan Kitzmiller is on a roll but their are 4 more just like him. I think we will respect anyone we come into contact with after dealing with Greenville and J County. And this Senior group was a bit docile until a couple of weeks ago and now they have the taste of blood in their mouths and crave more. Stacy Carter seems to be on roll in the inovation dept. and at this point in the game he (and company) are creating some offensive wizadry. I hope the game is clean and no one is injured. I also see the same template as Elizabethton. Go Rebels!

South is my pick for this game. Although with the two big wins that Unicoi has had the last two weeks..........and upset here isn't out of the questions. I don't think that is going to happen though. South will roll on the next three weeks with no problems.

First of the season, I'd have said this game would look like a train wreck. I think Unicoi will make a respectable game out of it, but South will win.

 

I'll be pulling for the Blue Devils, though.

i have watched the unicoi kids grow up the past two weeks, the defense steps up when it has to, i wouldn't be suprised if this one goes into the fourth quarter tied up.

If it does, the Blue Devils will certainly be in a good position, cause they don't seem to EVER give up..............

Erwin has a ton of momentum leaning towards the 13th. But its gonna take a lot and I mean a lot to beat the Rebs or should I say Curt Phillips. South wins 35+ over Erwin. But Erwin makes the playoffs with wins over East and Central in Wk 8 and 9.

You know as well as I do that you cannot judge an opponent based on who and how well they have played in the past. Preparation and determination, combined with a break or two can overcome any amount of talent...especially if momentum is leaning in your direction. As for your questions, I am not sure if Unicoi has ever beaten South; I'd say not for a long while if ever- which is rapidly becoming the theme for the year. Same can be said for the 4A playoffs. I will give South all the credit for establishing themselves as the premiere program in the conference, but (not taking away from South's impressive team) Unicoi's accomplishments in the past few weeks cannot be taken lightly. While a victory may be a stretch for the Blue Devils, I truly feel that a blowout by South is not in the cards either. Regardless of the score, both programs are going to benefit from a hard-fought football game to be played this Friday- I can't wait to be there!
