Powell's schedule did feature teams without impressive records this season, but it was about the same last year and Powell came within a last minute fumble of winning the state. It is extremely hard comparing teams from different areas until they get on the field and compete. Looking forward to Friday night. It should be an exciting game.

For the record, I could be wrong, but I don't think moronicus is a Powell guy. He's a District 3 guy. I don't think there are any Powell fans around here doing any chest thumping, especially about their SOS. Powell won the games that they were supposed to during the regular season, they've played good football in the playoffs thus far, and here we stand. These guys know what it takes to make a title game run, regardless of SOS. They've been there before, and they know the kind of focus it takes to win in the playoffs week after week. I still think that the upperclassmen on this Powell team think about that 2010 Powell-AC playoff upset, how they lost their composure, and how they were completely shell-shocked for most of the game (against a team they dominated in the regular season).

 

I think one of the big motivators for Powell is the fact that few people in Knoxville thought this team had much of a chance to make a run at all this year. People keep talking about the guys they lost from last year's team, or that they have a new, young coach, or that this was supposed to be West's year. Or Lenoir City's. Or even South Doyle's. Powell hasn't been talked about that much locally, even after last year's great season, and I think these kids have that in the back of their minds every Friday night.

 

It should be a great game tomorrow night, and Powell expects to get THS's best shot. Let's hope the Panthers don't have much of a let down after last week's win over West.

 

The Vikings can relate to that. The local news have a Top Five Team ranking every week of local and regional teams. I don't think the Vikings ever made the list despite being one of the only 3 local teams left standing.

That's a very true statement. One that was proven by the Vikings last week against MoWest. I personally didn't think we would be able to slow down their offensive attach but to my surprise it was just the opposite. Even after all the discussion, I really don't know what to expect Friday night. I guess that's why we play the game on the field instead of on these boards.
