Austin-East @ Elizabethton Quarterfinals

[Cycloneballa3]

Helping Betsy out a bit. GHS handled Brainerd fairly easily. Betsy is the only team to shut down the Devil Offense and Brainerd beat AE 3 TDs to 1. they need to be more honest about their own schedule. Just look at their schedule on the T, nice, but not impressive.

Austin-East lost to Catholic who lost to Heritage who lost to Seymour who lost to CAK who barely beat Elizabethton by 1 point. What relevance does this have to do with Friday's Austin-East/Elizabethton game? About the same level of relevance as Austin-East losing to Brainard who lost to Greeneville who lost to Elizabethton. IMO, Austin-East has played better teams than Elizabethton, and Austin-East has beaten better teams than Elizabethton.

 

Tell me what makes Elizabethton so good?

 

 

 

 

 

Well what makes Elizabethton so good is that they can outscore just about anyone. In their last three games they have put up 138 points and given up 26 points. While in the mean time Austin-East has put up 115 points and given up 28. Both offenses are explosive, but i give the edge to to Cyclones. Their secondary hasn't given up a huge pass play yet this year. If your try to run the ball up the middle, Cody Anderson and Austin Nanney will have somethin to say about that. I dont think Austin East can put up 50 points during this game. So Alcoa, pack your bags, your coming to E-Town

 

Elizabethton-28

Austin-East-14.

A scrimmage makes no difference. Please do not compare EHS to South or anyone else. Just let them be who they are. This game is a toss up and I have no idea who will win. Like most close games turnovers will be the key. Boy aren't I smart

Sometimes it does, when you are talking about a high caliber team. South gave Betsy props earlier this year. Wow, just trying to help you out dude. I was trying to lend towards Betsy's athletic ability and speed. Typically when you are talking speed, NET isn't the first part of the state people think of (with the exception of a couple of the track athetes). Elizabethton is an exception to this stereotype this year. Since you don't like the scrimmage and South example, I apolgize for not being able to use an actual Betsy vs South GAME, but the Rebs had to find someone else to schedule in the EHS void - Gate City (they were weak) instead. So sorry for giving your team a little credit.

I think this will be a great game. Since I will be in Betsy for Thanksgiving (wife's home town) I say go Betsy! I want to see you guys play the semi's against Alcoa.

Very well said

 

GO CYCLONES

Well Said!!!!

 

Etown has stuggle in recent years but I played with Coach Witten when Etown was a power house and we did play up! Every school we played was much bigger but we always came to play!!! Until the fourth round when we always hit Maryville. Coach Witten knows what it takes in the playoffs and he knows that any team left will be good!! AE is good but I know the CYCLONES will be ready and playing at home will be the difference!!!

 

Great Job to both teams this year!
