Henry County vs Powell

If that's the case then Henry County brought approximately 6000 fans. That's just an incredibly insane number for a school that far away.

 

 

You'd be surprised at the number of fans who came from Dyersburg to follow Henry County. Coach Counce and Counce Jr. have a lot of friends and fans down here who wanted them to win a State title.

Thank you so, so much! I was going to worry about this from now on. It was an impossible call live. I've asked at least a dozen people what they thought. All but one said they thought he scored. This image ends all doubt. I can't commend you enough.

 

Yeah you cant argue w/ that picture, while watching it live I thought he scored as well. They even did a replay in slow motion and it looked like he scored there as well. They didnt show it in as good of an angle as shown in this pic. This clearly shows knee down and ball short of goal line, well done.....

Well, great game. But I guess we know how to play a little football out west too.

 

There is great football played all over this state every year...From Bristol to Memphis and everywhere in between. Programs like Maryville and Alcoa and the 100 state titles they have between them is what tilts the favoritism so heavily towards the east. But, just like everyone, they are not unbeatable (although Maryville is pretty dang close).

 

It was nice to see us bring one home for the west. But most importantly, it just feels good to FINALLY have a gold ball in Paris. And the buck doesn't stop here, there's still plenty of room for some more. :thumb:

That's funny considering I paused it and took a picture of the TV. I was at the game and unsure at the time due to the fact I was sitting on the 40yd line and had a terrible angle. I recorded the game and played it back when I got home. This is the same TSSAA network televised version that everyone else saw.

First, congrats to BOTH teams for a fantastic game!! One of the best games I've ever watched, certainly at the high school level. These 2 teams were so evenly matched and they battled it out like a slug fest in a heavy weight championship match. My heart was left on the field for the Panthers. I hurt to see the boys hurt so bad after such an incredible season. Hopefully after a little time the Powell players will understand how much they accomplished over the past couple seasons. Great job Panthers, hold your head high, you did the community proud :thumb:

Well laugh away, I didnt remember seeing it at that angle and on the replay they just showed it from behind him which was hard to tell. I didnt rewind and go back and analyze like they do when watching NFL. Even if they had scored it doesnt mean they would have won.....

Good post. Congrats to Henry Co. and Wayne Co. for bringing Gold back to the west half of the state and to the others on the west end that got to the show.

 

I'll even throw in St. George's for their Gold Ball over USJ in Div.II!

THIS IS NOT A TOUCHDOWN GOOD CALL BY THE REFS

 

 

I thought the officiating during the game was good. The televising of it was a different story. To me and several others that I spoke with agreed that it seemed more favorable towards Powell. Constantly showed shots of their crowds, shots of their team, shots of their coaches, band, cheerleaders...etc. The broadcasters messed our names up and whined about our noise. The Patriots were the real underdogs up to the last minute. Congrats Patriots, You deserve the Gold! :thumb:

    • Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row
    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
