Panther D was incredible. Mobley played his butt off. What a great win for the Panthers. I thought that Powell defensive front just had an unbelievable game. 90 and 54 both played well at defensive tackle. 22 and 2 had some big, BIG hits on the QB for West. It was a great all around effort. All that talk from the West faithful....looks like it was your boys who were shocked. Sure looked like they didn't know what to do with that defense from Powell. Great job, boys. Lets go finish what you started when you were 8 years old.

Just another day at the office for Powell. They have had a TON of billboard material the past month or so from people in the Knoxville area saying that they just aren't good enough. Leading up to the West game, I actually didn't think there were very many West fans trashing Powell. Most of that garbage came from other followers. Hopefully those same people will give them credit where credit is due, including the Knoxville media, who completely focused on West's defense and their takeaways all week, while ignoring the fact that Powell's defense put up nearly identical numbers during the regular season.

 

Let's hope that all of East TN can get behind Knoxville's representative in the 5A title game against a very very tough Henry County team.

Any info on what Henry County is running offensively and defensively OSU?

I haven't seen their exact stats/depth chart just yet, but here is why I do know about the Patriots.

 

HC has a very powerful offense. They have a very good senior tailback in Shaquille Allen (5-9 230) who has rushed for about 1,500 yards this season, along side a great dual-threat QB in Najee Ray, who has thrown for about 750 yards and rushed for almost 1,400 yards this year. Ray reminds me of former Panther Kier Houston - not a huge guy (5-11 160), but he has a good arm and he can really move. What really makes this team so potent on offense is their offensive line, led by Vandy commit Andrew Jelks at tackle (6-6 260).

 

HC also sports a dominant defense. They only give up about 10 points per game, and haven't give up more than 17 in a game all season (against Beech back in August).

 

The knock on the Patriots is that they haven't played a very tough schedule (similar to Powell), but this team is the real deal. They've blown every opponent out, except for an excellent Ridgeway team (24-14 win 2 weeks ago). At the beginning of the season, HC was my preseason pick to win the title, and they have definitely lived up to their billing. Neither the Patriots nor the Panthers have ever won a state title, so this will be a great opportunity for both teams.

I was very disappointed in Coach Scott Cummings' comments in the Knoxville News Sentinel. He gave no credit at all to Powell for hitting his team right in the mouth. The Panthers defense completely man-handeled West the entire game and all Cummings could come up with was "they were barking at us trying to draw us off sides". <_< Even he said he knew it sounded like he was whining! Wow....your team had a great season, playing in arguably the toughest region in high school football, and you are going to come up with that crappy excuse for the newspaper? Somebody needs to get Cummings a PR person....this is not the first time he has opened his mouth and crap came out. Give credit where credit is due!

 

Congratulations to the West players on a very successful season!

"Our kids kept telling us that their kids were barking out noises to draw us off all night," Cummings said. "I know that sounds like us whining. But there's no way after 14 games that we're that bad to have that many false starts all of a sudden."

 

Well they did have that many...Honestly west didnt look mentally prepared the first half of the game.

    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
    • It may be hard to believe but there’s more people than me that think you guys are a bunch of losers.    I’m sure the coaching staff, yourself included, cursed at a bunch of high school students. Nobody could name more than 3 coaches on staff due to the constant turnover. 
    • That's complete BS.  Nobody at ACHS has access to CHS student records unless a transfer is made from CHS to ACHS.
