This one should be a good game. To wet everyone's appetite, here are the highlights from their last meeting...

 

First Half Highlights

 

Second Half & Overtime Highlights

 

 

 

Wasn't at this game due to work. And from what i can see there were not too many highlights. From what i here it was riddle with turnovers from both teams. So that adds to the mystery of how these two teams really match up. If the Bulldogs expect to win this one we can't put the ball on the ground like we did in the first meeting. Looks like the weather is going to be decent. Go Dawgs!!!

Smyrna is a very good football team. They are as talented as anyone in the state. I can assure you of that. Franklin is a good playoff team though with a dangerous quarterback so you never know. I'm sure it will be a great atmosphere at Franklin Friday night. If Franklin comes to play defensively and the Quarterback has a good game and they don't turn it over look for a tight game as once before. Also, Smryna is running the football way more effectively than they were earlier in the season.

To all the Bulldogs out there.....don't forget that Franklin was the one that booted Oakland last year in the first round. One game at a time. Rutherford Co needs to advance!

 

 

 

I can assure you that no player, coach, teacher, fan or anyone who can say the name Franklin is looking past this team. The focus is 110% on the Rebels this week.

I'm sure to have high blood pressure after this game... I just hope the Rebs dont go to overtime or im likely to have a heart attack.... no turnovers and offensive production in the red zone is what we need, and for the love of god CHS Team Player and all you other haters start posting some fuel for our fire! Smyrnas fans are too respectable (no disrespect to them, their district is used to high school football greatness)

The focus is most certainly on the rebels. One game at a time now Bulldogs. We were lucky to come out on top the first time we went to Franklin. we had way too many turnovers. If we hold on to the ball this time I like our chances though. :thumb:

Im sure both teams feel as if they hold on to the ball a little better in this game that they will win. The last affair was one of the most physical, hard hitting high school games that I have ever witnessed, which may have had something to do with all those turnovers. Not enough credit being given to either defense for that ball game IMO. Smyrna is a very well coached team that has some outstanding football players and plenty of speed to burn. The Franklin Rebels will have to contain those big play weapons that Smyrna has all over the field to come out on top in this one.Smyrna will have to play disciplined football and limit their mistakes. QB play will be the key for the Bulldogs in this game. Turnovers will also be a key. Whichever teams limits their turnover mistakes I think will come out on top. I would not be surprised to see the winner of this game advance out of this Quad Personally. Im looking forward to attending this game as im sure that many others on this board are anxious to get this one underway already. Is it Friday yet??

    • Never said I thought it was a smart decision. I'm scratching my head at it too.
    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.
