Anybody else remember this game being billed at "Battle of the North and South" besides me? What was once a huge rivalry between the Forrest Rockets and the Cornersville Bulldogs (North and South Marshall Co.) has fallen by the wayside over the past few years. But it fires up next week in Cornersville. What happened to the "traveling trophy"? Anybody know where it is? Anyway, what are the opinions about the game? My opinion is:

GO ROCKETS!!

The traveling trophey? Its actually gonna be at the game, they actually have a picture of it in the marshall county tribune today (sept 25), thank god they are bringing this back along with the rivalry between the two schools. I went to both schools and I have experienced it from both sides. I think it is a good thing for both schools, it kinda gets that passion back into the game, knowing there is a trophy and county braggin rights on the line. They say Forrest has had the trophy for the last 13 years. Since 1984 Forrest has an 18-3 advantage in the series if anyone is interested, just another reason I want to see the Dawgs win this one!

if a trophy motivates you to try and win a game (and its not the superbowl) then somethin is not right!

This is actually cool, the biggest game in the county does not include the marshall county tigers this time, I'm really glad they got this rivalry going again, just think of the revenue that it generates, which is good, for both schools. Has anyone ever thought about playing this game as a homecoming, with the home team that year?

GO ROCKETS!!! We need to bring the bragging rights and trophy back to the north end of the county where it belongs and has been for years. Thanks sb38devils, good luck to Jo Byrns as well, miss seeing and talking with the good people from Cedar Hill.

 

you're welcome we miss you guys too. It has not been near as much fun on the threads now that we are in district 10. I would have rather have been in District 9 even with the travel. We went to Cascade and that team in KY was forever away so I don't really see that we travelled that much less than last year actually. Stay dry tonight.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
