McMinn Central @ Grace Christian

You got that right.

I knew you South Pitt people would appreciate that comment. The turf was a necessity at GCA. Too much water run off going straight down to the football field.

The turf can be tricky if you're not used to it, especially if its wet. It's much better than playing in a mud hole, like it was before the turf was installed.

The turf will make a good team better!Your kids will be fine GB of course had never played on turf other than a maybe jamboree,but they loved GCAs field it makes a fast team greasy fast.I still see a close one,at the first of the thread i said MC in a close one but i did not realize GCA is at home the old addage home fields worth 7 points,so i am changing my prediction to the home team because of the home field advantage.Also forgive me for saying this but the Refs will make a difference also,also advantage Grace.

Chargers win 27-26

[onetworemember]

A very hard fought game. Great game to watch.

Interesting prediction.  The Chargers have tuned up there defense from the first 2 games.  McMinn has an excellent back.  He took a couple of punishing shots against MCentral.  I hope this is much closer.  The Chargers also dominated Tellico in jamboree, without 4 of their starting linemen. 

I've been wrong more than most on the T. Congrads Chargers!

Wrong again, old friend. The best Grace can hope for is a Neutral Officiating crew at our own home field. For the past 2 years, we've gotten the raw end of almost every home game played. I don't even hope for a "home field advantage" as far as officiating goes. The very best we can hope for is not to get hosed too bad. Tonight was one of those "good" nights. Seemed to be a pretty fair officiating crew. They didn't get in the way and didn't alter the outcome of this one. The Chargers were extremely physical and they went hard every play. Congrats on your 4-0 start.

Just wondering, 27-20 then 27-26 final. Botched PAT or did y'all go for the win? We couldn't hit a PAT or convert a 2 point conversion until late in the game. A safety helped "true up" our score a bit. Sounds like a good game to see but a tough one to swallow if you're on the wrong end of it. Believe me I know (see our week 0 game with Rockwood).

Both teams missed a PAT. GCA went for 2 and the win with approx 2 mins to go. It was absolutely the right call to make at that point in the game. GCA had a tough time stopping MC offense all night.

GCA has best shot in 2A East this year. Rams so far have passed the eye test. Tough loss tonight but after MC whipped Boyd Bucs I think you guys are smooth sailing in 2A. TC is limping and losing and while Marion County has improved I don't see them having the firepower to get to Cookeville. I'm just keeping it real
