Pearl Cohn Vs East Nashville @vandy Oct17th

[FIREBIRD80]

First off. I love my school to death, and to let everyone know, the name is PEARL-COHN. If you want to use PC that is fine. The school is not Pearl. Pearl High closed down in 1982 when it merged with Cohn High to form Pearl-Cohn.

Now I read a post that PC has always had a football tradition. Honestly, the first 12 years of existence the records did not show the talent. The first playoff team was in 1995. 1st State Championship in 97. History lesson over.

I personally haven't seen either team this season, but because I love my alma mater, Pearl-Cohn will win this game. I also say this because I do know the athletes on both teams, and PC's are far better.

Chill I went to Pearl-Cohn also! But I don't have time to be typing Pearl-Cohn everytime...lol Thanks for the history lesson and your pick.

When have y'all been an underdog vs East? NEVER. PCU propaganda machine at its best.

 

Every year PCU has some bs propaganda to motivate team. Coaches need to quit making crap up.

Naw on coach T big ones they have East the favorite no lie.

I've never seen this before and I'm class of 2000.

Nununu PC has better athletes than most teams year in and year out. Nothing new there. Doesn't mean they will win.

We get upset, because we have a proud tradition at PEARL-COHN.  My dad attended Pearl High, which has their own place in history.  I can't go around bragging about how Pearl won a state basketball title in the 60's.  But I can brag about back to back State Football titles, why, because PEARL-COHN won those. WIP, I also said I love my school, so that is why they will win.

I got you nununu. It's about to be your time of the year. How are y'all going to be this year.

Firebird yes I think East will win Friday if they make the least mistakes. Cliche I know but true.

Why is your love so much more powerful than your opponents love for their school? Love has nota to do with this game unless you are a ref and can control the outcome.

If I can get some of these gridiron guys to get better for football on the mat, might be a contender.  I have 35 out right now, without football.

Because it's Firebird love.  LOL

Great district/rivalry game coming up Friday between these two teams. Wish both programs the best of luck. This is great for metro sports/schools. Friday's game is LOADED "inner city & homegrown" talent. 10 of the Pre Season Metro Top 25 players play for either PC or EN. Wow.

 

Here is a list of players to watch for Friday's game (**Metro Top 25 Ranking)

I'm sure I left a few players off, but you get the point. There are a lot talented players on the field Friday night, who deserve the exposure. Once again, wish both teams the best of luck & hope all players are injury free! Big night for the two programs. S/O to Vandy for giving these kids the spot light and opportunity to shine bright! Metro is making noise this season!

 

Can't wait til Friday

Where exactly did this top 25 list come from and who is on it outside of these two teams?
