Wow, this should be a great game to watch. CPA beat them for the region but I think this game is a pick em, could go either way. Goodpasture must stop Z. Mason but he is so big and has such good hands you just can't stop him completely. Better get there early cause it's gonna be packed.

GP had beaten us 5 in a row until a couple of weeks ago. That game was closer than the score, and could have gone either way. It will be quite a challenge to beat them twice in one year.

I can't imagine a more closely matched game. It will be decided by penalties, turnovers and special teams. Everything else is so even between these two teams. I wouldn't dare bet on this one.

Cougars should have everyone back from injury for this one. This will be a hard fought game in the trenches.

Learn from the past....

 

I know the boys have been looking forward to this rematch. I hope the weather is good and the refs keep the flags in their pocket and let the boys decide this one! Congradulations to both schools, Friday can't come soon enough!

Both of these teams have some great players and great tradition, but make no mistake - this game is always about a chess match between two GREAT coaching staffs, who know how to get the most from their talent, and prepare for an opponent. It is a coaching contest as much as a players' contest. Both teams will have a good game plan. Execution by the players will be the difference. Penalties, missed tackles and assignments, turnovers - the coaches can't control.

 

One observation about this game. With GP, you know who you have to defend to win - Cunningham. And that is a tough task because of his speed and talent. With CPA, you can't play shutdown on just one player. Fairview keyed on Z Mason and Kemp, and CPA's "passing QB", Roman, had over 100 yards rushing.

 

And don't let the CPA/Fairview score fool you. CPA controlled the game for 3 quarters, allowing FV to have a good 3rd quarter by making big mistakes with turnovers, penalties, and lack of execution on a couple of key plays. FV didn't get past midfield in the 1st half (probably had no net yards), but CPA only got 6 points on 3 trips inside the 15 YL, and 6 trips into FV territory. Hopefully, they got a sloppy game out of their system.

 

This game will be a good one - too hard to call.

    • Yeah I am on board and plan on coming down from the Ridge for some home games, great Friday night atmosphere there.  I'm really hoping SC can get them back going and have some success for those fans and community.  
    • Yep I was field level on the scoreboard end throwing ball with Benny when we had that brief lead. Everybody got very excited but it was short lived as Murvil regrouped and went into machine mode. But yeah,  that hit sounded like the crack of a black powder rifle being fire.  I believe Dozier took one like that as a Soph up at Greeneville after on olay block.  
    • Ole Benny boy lol. I forgot about Harder. He was tough as crap. He graduated in ‘09. I went to the OR/Maryville game that year (great game, btw) and he collided with Jacob West (I think was his name) and you could hear it clearly at the top of the visitor bleachers. Man, it was a stick. He could lay some wood son. All those guys were tough, Elliott included.
    • They do have good community support for sure and did when I coached under Z for 4 years. (I was on that staff that turned them around a little from winning 1 game a year to actually being competitive).  Great Kids and Great Community over there.  They have done some good things with the facilities from when i coached too. 
    • I personally will not mind that one bit.  It seems like a really strange fit to me from the git go.
