Wk 3 of the Playoffs: Rhea County at Oak Ridge

What were the stats for both teams?

Rhea had 428 rushing yards last night. Oak Ridge had 162 yards total.

After seeing OR tonight, I think Rhea will win this game.

If I had only seen OR on this one night then I would agree with you. Cleveland deserves lots of credit but this wasn't us. Our offense was totally non existent. When we perform on offense to go along with our defense and special teams we're much better.

no way!! 428 yards rushing & only 6 points? Wow!!

Cleveland's defense is for real!! If Cleveland had a better offense, they would be very tough to beat.

You got your stats and your games confused.

If OR only beat an injury depleted Cleveland by 4, then I don't see how they will hang with Rhea Co.

 

Rhea 35

OR 21

If Rhea can only beat Cookeville by 1, then I don't see how Rhea will hang with OR.......

End of the road for the ridge you all are a good team but not a state contender this year but maybe when that sophomore class is seniors but not this year.plus I have to pull for rhea co.because my sisters brother in laws first cousin nephew went too school there back in 89..

Cookeville was actually pretty good this year and was riding high when Rhea beat them, and dont make the mistake of underestimating Lavergne, they were pretty good, just in a very tough region.....

And Tee will probably be out for next weeks game. Gaddis is saying it was a hyper-extended knee and those usually take 2-4 weeks to heal. Hopefully I am wrong on that. Hate that because we are so much more formidable with him out there, but it is what it is. BTW the PI call on our guy in the EZ was one of the worst calls I have ever seen in 35 years watching football. Couldn't have played that ball any better than he did. A horrendous call that about cost us the game.

I thought it was a terrible call also. I couldn't see the last play of the game, but when I heard the OR stands cheering, I knew we had held them.

 

Supposed to be warmer next Friday, so that may help.
