Carter @ Seymour

[MineyHaole]

This game is between the two teams that have been on the top of the Region for the past two years. Seymour is coming off of a loss to their in-county rival Sevier County; the Eagles have a record of 4-1. Carter comes into the game with a 3-3 record, but with a big win against 5A Karns. Carter has edged Seymour the past two years with a combined score of 62-0, but everyone can say that this year's Seymour team is the best Eagle team Carter has faced. In last year's game the frustrations of the Seymour players was seen in an uncharacteristic boil-over of emotions. The incident was so big that in this year's preview on Channel 8, the Seymour coaches and players talked all about keeping their emotions in check and not playing Carter's game; showing that this is THE game for the Eagles. Should be a great game, let's have some chatter on this one.

This should be a great game. Playing at home will be a plus for Seymour. Seymour wins in a close one.

As in every Carter and Seymour sporting events I believe tempers will be flaring. I believe the key to winning this game is which team is more disciplined. Thus far Carter has lost to Bearden, AE, and South Doyle, but they have also blown out Claiborne, P.F., and won a defensive battle against Karns. Seymour has beaten Heritage, Cocke Co, SD, and Rutledge, but lost to Sevier Co last friday. I believe both teams are similar in talent, but I believe emotions will get the best of some players on both teams. I hope for a clean, but exciting game friday. My prediction is Carter-28 Seymour-21

This should be a great high school football game 2 great football communities.The biggest difference that I see in Carter now versus early in the year is that Carter players seem to be playing with a lot more emotion and enthusiasm.As for my take on this game I think it will come down to the last couple of possessions and Carter will win with speed.My prediction Carter 18 Seymour (yes Seymour finally scores this year)17.GO HORNETS!!!!!!

Both teams have played South Doyle with Carter losing and Seymour winning. Both close games as I recall. Also seems that South Doyle had some players available vs, Carter that were subsequently injured when Seymour and South Doyle played. Should be a close game. This group of Seymour SRs has been pretty competitive since their youth ball days, and I think they might just pull this one out. They need to regroup after the Sevier Co. loss. I really felt that with all that Seveir lost, this might have been Seymour's year. I have heard through the grapevine that Carter seems to be playing better the PF game, but I would not put too much value in the Karns win.

seymour will have to come out ready to play from the start. if they come out strong and stay focused on the game (not losing their tempers)i think seymour will take the win. should be a fun game. these schools have a lot of bad blood between them, tempers may fly. ill have to say SEYMOUR 21 CARTER 14. Assuming they will play better than last week.

Seymour wins this game. It will not be close. Seymour has to much talent and speed for Carter to match up. Seymour wins 31 - 7.

FormerPlayer, I hope that you are only posting to give some locker room material to the Carter players, 31-7? Carter has been blown out by two teams this year, Bearden and AE...both of those teams would blow out Seymour as well. Seymour has the ability to win this game, especially on the field named after the head coach...but if they win it will not be by 3 TDs, I think. I am going to hang on with my prediction, but I can assure you it will not be a blow out, by either team.

You know, if Carter wins then plays a 1-loss (in region play) Rutledge team in Week 10 and loses then there'd be a 3-way tie...then it's best overall record. So right now every game is critical for all three teams.

Actually it's Benton Householder Field, not Gary Householder. Pretty sure they're related but not totally sure.
