#5 East Ridge Vs #4 Fulton

[lionfan86]

true, that is a valid point....I just hope you guys go up there and come home with a win! It would be nice to see all chattanooga teams advance in this thing!

[Erballer5]

thanks you as well. i would love to see chattanooga dominate knoxville teams!! and when we do it the atmosphere with east ridge going to play next week at red bank will be unreal!!!

[Bravey]

Bring it On .. erballer5 .. Fulton never has or ever will be intimidated by playing anyone anywhere ... Falcons have played Aloca close, AE close (should have won) and GP ( wet field .. GP only croosed 50 once whole game) ... these guys have been there before and will show up ready to play ... then the next task at Red Bank will be tough for sure ... Red Bank has a very talented tean who could go all the way .. but they will need to get buy a pesky Falcon team who are playing shorthanded but some young guys will have to show up.

This Fulton team is just not like the Fulton's of yesteryear. They can still win this one, but just no where near what they used to be.

Fulton still has great tallent, but their player count is way down to about 35 players instead of 90 over the last couple years. they can still put 11 tough ,athletic and fast players on the field. injurys have hurt a little bit but that is football. Fulton coaches are exp and their players are hungry they will respect east ridge like they do everyone but they will expect to beat east ridge like they do everyone!

To the East Ridge fans with BAD Sportsmanship after the game...Please know what you are talking about before you open your mouth and speak! Many stated that we could not take our "home cooked" refs with us! When you are in play-offs, even when you have home field advantage, the refs come from somewhere else. In this case, they came from Johnson City. And, IMO I don't want to take them with us anyway because they missed calls on boths sides and if case you didn't notice...they couldn't seem to get out of the way of the plays. A couple of them got run over a few times (could've but probably didn't) make a differnce in a play! Next...It is really RUDE for your CHEERLEADERS to yell to the Coaches of the opposing team that they only won because they cheated. That should not be tolerated. That is wrong...when you are in uniform, you are representing your team and should refrain from this type of behavior! There was NO cheating going on...we just played better! You are still a great football team and have a lot to be proud of!

 

And now we will move on to another tough game next week...REDBANK!

lets talk facts--first of all fulton won the game and will go on to next week and play red bank--you beat e.r.--however look at facts of the game--phantom holding call on long run by e.r. at the end of the 1st half that would have given the pioneers 1st and goal and the score would have been 21-14-e.r. would have scored it was obvious that fulton had no answer for e.r. run game--2nd--at least 2 o3 runs of 15 to 20 runs were called back against e.r--3rd t.d. called back in the 4th quarter that would have made the score 24-21 with all the momemtum to pioneers and 4th and probably the worst no roughing the kicker call on the field goal attempt when it was obvious that he was roughed as the coach and trainer was called out to help him off the field--whether they will admit it or not anyone who watched that game without a doubt will have to say e.r. was the more physical team--as far as the fans i can not comment on that because i saw none of it--its time to give east ridge credit-fulton won and deserves to go on to the next round but if e.r. doenst fumble the opening kickoff and cut down on the penalties i think the game would have been different--i think red bank will win by at least 2 tds
