1A football - top 3 teams and why

[balla007]

Bruceton will beat USJ when it counts in the Playoffs.

They had the best player on the field in Willis and it will be different next time.

Ezell- defending champs, one of the fastest, most physical defenses in 1a, can score as many points as they need.

 

USJ- deserved the BCB over Cloudland last year, tough break in the brackets. Already proved they're for real with wins over alway tough CPA and Bruceton. Well coached.

 

Collinwood- didn't lost much from a team that ran into the eventual champs in the quarters. Ward and Victory are a great combo on offense and defense.

 

One a side note, how can Boyd's region possibly be the toughest in 1a? Explain that?

 

I didn't say that Boyd Buchanan's region is the toughest, I said some people say it is. I am niether a Boyd or Ezell fan, which I don't dislike them either, but they play on the 27th and it should be a great ball game. Whoever wins that game will be the overall best team in 1A as of mid-season. I think overall, Cloudland has the best chance to make it though the end. Granted they have a easier schedule than most, but they have to travel to Powell Valley who has speed, strength, and one of the better defense's in 1A. I know this from seeing them play Knox Central in camp. Knox Central is a top 5 4A team and Powell Valley only allowed 12 yards in a 15 play scrimmage.

 

Powell Valley has a little extra motivation for this year. They'd like to take a trophy to their new home in 2003. They will combine with Forge Ridge (who doesn't play football) to form Cumberland Gap and they will move from 1A to 2A. They have a terrific passing attack and should be no worse than 6-1 when they play Cloudland at Speedwell.

 

That is if Claiborne County can beat them next Thursday.

 

Oh yeah. CoachT, that game between Powell Valley and Claiborne County has been moved to September 26. I found that out when I interviewed Coach Harrison last night.

Ezell, Boyd, and Clouland.

 

Looking at who they have played and based on last year I think these are without question the 3 best teams right now. I would consider Collinwood, South Pittsburg, and USJ close behind.

I agree about collinwood, its those darn handmade protein shakes. I hear its a pregame ritual w/ the team to get together in a circle and make those things. Its made them a great team.

 

Thanks for this touch of class Crunchy. Its always good to see someone mess up a good post with a nice little ignorant remark like this one. Guess what? You're the only one laughing!!

I agree with Thelma. Lay off Collinwood. I have seen nothing but class from their fans.

Collinwood fans make the team a force to be reckoned with. The kids are well coached and have considerable talent, but the fans get an extra 10-15% effort out of them just with their solid support.

 

The road to the Boro will go thru Collinwood this year for the 5-1A teams and the fans will be a factor.

Ok Maybe we haven't played anyone yet and maybe we won't play anyone period until we play someone in the playoffs but you still have to recognize that we are one of the best teams in the state and should be recognized as so.

In my opinion everyone has made good solid selections, but I think ther is a team that deserves to be considered. Fayette Academy is one of the toughest teams in 1A. My top three; Ezell-Harding, USJ, and Fayette Academy. I also want to add Collinwood is right in the mix of things.

Hey Online and Bighurt,

Thanks for the support. Truly, the small town of Collinwood appreciates your support. It seems that our good friend crunchy has been taken off of the site. If the person responsible for that is reading this then Thank You!! Thanks for preserving the character of Coach-T.com. Good luck you you Online and Bighurt.

I think the top 3 teams in 1A are Ezell,Boyd,and USJ. I haven't seen Ezell play but i have heard from everyone i asked that they are VERY good. I am a boyd fan and they are very good this year too but i guess we will see who's better next week when we play them.

[thriller]

usj is not as good as they have been in the past compared to teams in 2A for example but they are still deserving of respect in 1A. they may have lucked out when playing the bruceton patrick willises, i mean tigers, who aren't as strong as they have been in the past either.

 

ezell, boyd, collinwood
