Powell has started out strong offensively, putting up 300+ rushing yards against Rhea County and Austin-East. The big surprise for me has been the Panther defense these first 2 weeks, despite a number of injuries. FootballDad, thanks for the injury update last week!

 

Halls got a huge confidence-building win in week 0 against Clinton, but really struggled against a good Sevier County team on Friday. Any predictions for Friday night's game?

Powell can pave Emory Rd with Panther Paws this week because it will be nothing but a trail of destruction for the Red Devils. Halls is so overmatched in this contest that even a George Quarles/Gary Rankin coaching combo couldn't prevent the inevitable outcome. Of course my opinion stems largely from watching last years thrashing and recalling that there is never any mercy shown between these 2 schools. There was a time when Halls had the upper hand and relished the pounding they gave the Panthers. Well, the pendulum has swung and now it is Powell doing the pounding. The Panthers are poised for a run at the state championship and that spells doom for Halls. I believe the only mercy shown will be what is required with the running clock rule. Strange things can happen in strong rivalry games such as this, but I simply can't find any reason to suggest that this will be a close game. I know both teams will come out and play hard but the talent pool is much deeper on the west side of Emory Rd right now. Good luck to both teams for an injury free, clean game.

 

Powell wins big.

I beg to differ. As any good coach-T poster will tell you, these games have little to do with talent and everything to do with coaching. It all comes down to who makes the right play calls and defensive adjustments. Just ask "nowayhome" they can tell you all about it.

Sneaky, sorry I don't qualify as a good coach-T poster :mrgreen: , but saying talent has nothing to do with it indicates to me that you and I wouldn't agree on much when it comes to evaluating and prognosticating football games. The one thing we can agree on is that coaching does play a critical role in many closely contested games, this just doesn't happen to be one of those closely contested games in my eyes. However; we will find out this Friday which analysis will prevail. :D

I hope the Red Devils will bring there A game cause they will need to just to have a chance. I believe in the Devils, always have, always will, but something's gotta give. My vote right now is for KJ to call both the o and d this Friday night, maybe that way we could have a fighting chance. Go Devils!

I'm sure that Halls will come out fired up and bring their A game, but it's hard to ignore what happened last year. I just hope that Powell doesn't come out of the gates flat, considering the result from a year ago. I don't think Powell will put up 60+ points this time, but Powell should cruise, 49-14.

I agree with the fact coaching does make a difference other than talent. But you still gotta have some kind of talent and halls is lacking bad. and even if they had the talent they dont have the coaching by far Halls had the talent to go far in the class of 09-10 and the year before but what happend? If you compare the two coaches..Who wins? Julian Or Lowe?

 

Lowe by far, Mobley could possibly beat the Devils by himself. at least 32-0 giving Powell the win and thats if Powell plays horrible.

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      By BarneySox2007 · Posted

      I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.

      You are so correct!  It’s really 99.9% of academia want to change to way that education is not only taught but the way it is viewed.  The pendulum has definitely swung as far to the left as possible and eventually will swing to the right much too far.  I have always  said that politics and one’s personal religious views need to stay out of education,  but for the last 40 years education has been running full throttle to what we have today.  If the social experiment that we are currently experiencing continues it is only a matter of time before the public school system in the USA completely collapses and all kids attend private schools or even worse don’t go to school.

      I am talking about what they both did for their team. They both carried their team for four years while they were both there. I wasn’t really comparing them that would be unfair. Bishop is on a level of his own.
