Week 1 of the Playoffs: Elizabethton at Knox Catholic

[CyclonePrider]

"Finally Fulton will have something to talk about next week when they play Catholic in the 2nd Round of the playoffs-get your kleenex ready Fulton."

 

We'll just tell Elizabethton to stay home. We're not worthy, We're not worthy...

Elizabethton is a good team and Catholic knows it will have its hands full Friday night. Here in Knoxville there's too much talk about a game that's not even guaranteed of happening. Last Sunday the News Sentinel wrote an article about a collision course between Catholic and Fulton. On High School Heroes they've talked about this potential game too. There is a little matter of first round games. Elizabethton and Scott County "didn't get dressed up for nothing" (sorry I love the movie Braveheart) and will come READY to play. If the Irish and and the Falcons are overlooking or buying into this hype, they could be at basketball practice on Monday. To all the Cyclone fans be careful on the way down and dress warm. It's going to be a cold one brrr. Edited November 7, 2014 by QSouth89

South nearly pulled the upset last year so anything could happen ya know? It shoulfd be a good game at least

If 'it's and buts" were candy and nuts then everyday would be Christmas. Catholic wins BIG Friday night. Then bring on Fulton. They are not nearly as good of a team as Alcoa.

The Leprechauns must have got confused when they only LOST to Alcoa by 7 as there that team I promise lil buddy Fulton ain't what you want!

I don't think they are bragging.  I think they are trying to make the point that they were not "man-handled" as bad as the Alcoa people are saying.  In other words, we have Catholic and Alcoa people who can't move on. I for one hope we are focused on Elizabethton.

I can respect that but you know how those Alcoa posters are lol... They are the only ppl I know who don't give respect to any team outside Alcoa... But as for tonight i got catholic by 14 in a tough game tonight...

Catholic by a TD.  I think Elizabethton comes out running the ball with Thomas and playing keep away.  Someone posted the team with fewest mistakes wins.  I have to agree Catholic can't extend drives with penalties.

BVDevil.... Oh I agree with you. My statement was to reflect "how good" we would've been. Still think Betsy has a little more ground to cover to be a true contender in whatever class they are in whether it be 3A or 4A. Coaches have done a okay job but not great. I support the Cyclones deeply but I'm a realist too and we aren't there yet! Most good programs .... ok great programs that win state or a top contender for state each year have that "it" factor and swag and drive to win. It's easy as.., Fulton, Geeneville, Maryville and Alcoa. When you make it you have a mental toughness and you believe and expect to win. Those type teams say "we're going to win..." Our guys say...."we might win....or we could win." That's just one area I see where Betsy needs to improve. Getting better takes time. We have great talent yearly but I don't see that talent developed like other programs. So, good luck in the playoffs for your Devils. Always enjoy reading your posts.

 

betsys biggest problem is its competition...in 4a you have the obvious stumbling blocks...south, greenies, fulton and so on, but drop down to 3a and it might just get even tougher for the clones to make it out of knoxville.....TORNADOS generally do more damage the cyclones i beleive.....lol...but good luck man, give the catalicks heck....no pun intended

I have to give Catholic the advantage in this one. I believe Elizabethton being a run heavy team plays right into the Irish strength. They have a very good front 7. Ethan Thomas is a very good back, but he might have a tough night.
