Great season powell! I'm really proud of how y'all played this season. It was rough watching those first 3 quarters but y'all showed tons and tons of heart towards the end. Too bad y'all can't make state but y'all had one heckuva run this year. I'm now gonna root that anderson county wins state. That way we can at least say we lost to the champs...and that was an excellent game by anderson county. I thought they would beat us through thr air but they actually jus ran it down our throats. Over and over again. Good luck anderson county. Y'all have definitely earned some respect from this proud panther fan!

On the respect issue, Powell already had the Mavericks respect! Powell has no reason to hang any head down. There are good teams and there are Great teams. Powell is a Great team! :thumb:

I talked to a few people "in the know" at the game on Friday night, and there wasn't a single one of them who thought Mobley would be suited up for the remainder of the playoffs. I'm sure HTV has some

Top dogs fought it out correct; would not go as far to say weak region in "East Tennessee" :popcorneater:

There are a couple of teams that are down (Halls & Central), but i wouldnt say this is a weak region. There is alot of history and tradition in this district with teams like Halls, Central, Powell, AC, and Clinton....i just cant wait to see all of these teams back to where they used to be, everybody will be talking about how tough this district will be then. :thumb:

HTV,

Again didnt mean to stir the pot up with you. Talking about the history of PHS and ACHS gone back in the last 20 years. Lowe and Gilliam. Lowe had some issues I'm sure none were major, Gilliam played at AC but didnt he live at Campbell Co. LL and CD recruiting - dont know if they did or not but their was always talks about it. Even when LL was at Halls he was suposed to have recruited.

|Both teams had good years, both could have won this game, sorry Powell didn't come out on top. I always pull for the county teams.

I know what you mean about pulling for the county teams, I do too! GO AC & OR!

Was there ever any ?? about which two teams would be fighting it out from that district? Which other team(s) would stand a chance to advance if they had been given the chance? Good luck to AC but I think West has traveled had tougher road and because of that they will prevail. Good luck to you though.

No you are correct about which teams likly would make playoffs. Still awaiting what the mavericks have planned out for West. Currently this match up is very interesting!

Powell was definitely the team to beat this season P93. I have to wonder as one poster already has, if Mobley playing would have been the difference or not. I felt all along even tho Powell's rb's were dangerous, the qb was deadly. Who knows?

 

I hope Mr. Mobley realizes the impact his behaviour had on his team, coaches, and community. I hope he learns from his mistakes and becomes a better person through this. I hope he returns full force next year and SETTLES the question of whether or not his presence would have made a difference this past Friday night. Good luck to him.

 

That being said, AC CAME PREPARED. :thumb: The offensive and defensive lines were awesome. The coaches put in their time, did their homework, came out successful. Kudos to Hutson, McCoy, and Mayes. WAY TO RUN THE BALL!!! Loved the way Gillum mixed it up. One defining aspect of being a GOOD coach is the ability to adjust. Great job on achieving this on BOTH sides of the ball AC. Marlow and Shelley were forces to be reckoned with this past Friday, played lights out! Great job by ALL! Truly one of the most FUN football games I've ever attended!

AC played a great game, they had a great gameplan, and it's a shame that Powell looked flat and unfocused for 3 whole quarters. Every Powell fan knew that AC would come out focused and fired up, especially after what happened in the first meeting. Kudos to the AC coaching staff for developing a running game late in the regular season, because it made a huge difference in this game. I will admit, there was a huge penalty discrepancy in the game, just like the first meeting, but Powell dug their own grave, and AC took advantage.

 

I have to give Lowe a lot of credit for doing the right thing and keeping Mobley out of the game. He definitely stuck with the running game, even when a lot of fans were clammoring for the pass, and Powell really got rolling in the 4th quarter. As for Gillum, that was some gutsy play calling on that final drive. After the game clinching first down, I was shocked to see Williams still in the shotgun, especially after AC snapped one over his head earlier in the quarter.

 

Things got chippy after the game. There was an incident on the field involving both teams after the game, but from my seat, it just looked like taunting from both teams. I'm sure that emotions were running high, but there is no place for that in sports. On another note, I think Tanner Williams is a great talent and a good kid, but I'd love to see him just play his game without crying to the officials over a number of "missed" calls (saw this in both games versus Powell).

 

I do hope to see AC in Cookeville in a couple of weeks. West is going to be a tough test. They've been battle tested this year, much more than any team in our district, so be prepared.

I agree with you about Lowe doing the right thing, osunut2. Not always the easiest road to take. That being the right road. He has my respect for that. 99.99999 percent of the football coaches in his position, I'm sure would have taken a different road. At the end of the day, however, the main concern should ALWAYS be about the kid NOT the player.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?

      OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.

      They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that.

      The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.

      I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
