Week 3: David Crockett (2-1) @ Elizabethton (2-1)

[EHSTrack06]

Honestly, I hope he goes to a smaller program where he will actually get to play. These big programs are good to say you played for but the competition at that level is so intense, especially at the RB position.

I think he would do better at a smaller school but just my opinion and I know for a fact he would love to go to UT but I don't even know if they have looked at him.

[EHSTrack06]

Yeah, I can see that, but with Jalen being pushed really hard as the next big thing I feel Ethan might get the shaft. Maybe if they red shirt ET he'd get another year after Jalen graduates. You know Butch will at least give him a look.

[lawnman]

He would probably go either way but I still think he would do better at a smaller school I think but he is a tough kid and will do good were ever he goes.I am going to enjoy watching him this year because you don't see a back like this in high school very often.I think he is the best back I have seen in Betsy in my 32 years of watching the Cyclones play.

Ok, been watching from the sidelines for a while and I've noticed how others have to give their "two cents worth" about the Cyclones.  So , guess I'll join in. 

 

Crockett coming into the game will be fired up and ready to build on the success they've had thus far.  One loss to Science Hill (27- 63) has them pretty confident.  I think they will make a game of it for a quarter then reality will hit and hit hard.  In the form of 28 running down hill!  This Crockett team has scored 90 points this year and have wins over Sullivan East (26 - 20) and against Unicoi County (37 -14) but have given up 97 points.

 

Betsy has two common opponents and have already played those teams.  Science Hill (34 - 56) which shows that Betsy scored 7 more offensive points and gave up 7 fewer than Crockett so that could be a 14 point advantage there.  Then we have Sullivan East.  The Cyclones won at East (63 - 27) which was 37 more points than Crockett scored on offense and East scored 27 on Betsy so thats a -7 defensively.  Thus, a 30 point advantage from this game.  With just the two common opponents Betsy has 44 point advantage before they even suit up!  Now add to the mix that it's Ethans senior year and it only increases.  On the offensive side the Cyclones have scored 146 points and have only given up 83.  Crockett may have all the swagger they need to come to the game but that's were it ends.  With Armstrong throwing to the tallest (if no the most athletic) receiver Jaylen Smith,  I only see the passing game opening up and making Betsy more of a threat than last year.  This group of men are hungry to win and win they shall.

 

David Crockett  21 - Cyclones 56

 

Best to all the fans, players, coaches and cheerleaders that will be making the trip up to Elizabethton Friday night.  Praying for a safe journey to them and an injury free game for both teams.  Nothing but respect for our East Tennessee teams!

Well at least your very first post on coacht was a good one and now that you have we're glad to have another Cyclone fan on coacht.We try to be good on here but we do get fired up every now and then and there has been a DB fan on here lately that's strired up some trouble but we just let EHS take care of him.lol

I think E.T. Would fit in nicely at Bama! I am partial, to the Tide! If not, I would love for him to play close to home, would love to see him play on the college level!

I figured you liked the sound of that and we want hold it against you.But you do know what us TN people think about Bama don't you.lol

[gr8tplay]

BigBama42 I'm sure you do!  Like Bama needs another big punishing back!  I just want E to go somewhere that he can not only develop as a player but as a man.  A quality education that will be so much more after football is over.  Unapproved Website has him as a Two Star now and will update again after week five.  Just 57 yards short of 5,000 is incredible and he still has more than half the season.  If it's Bama, VT, Duke or whoever, just want to see the young man succeed.  I've coached him away from football and he is an amazing athlete and just as much a humble young man.

[lawnman]

I talk to him after every game and it's always yes sir.Great young man and a joy to talk to.

LOL!  Ok I got censored on my second post by using another sites name!  Got to watch that stuff I guess.  Anyway, the "Unapproved Website" has Ethan at a 5.4 out of 6.1 and no current state or national ranking.

We've all been punished on here one time or another.
