Farragut home side was very empty tonight. I think Rhea could fill it up.

I heard you all had a good turn out tonight. -You guys are going to be a lot stronger next year.

next year should be much better for us. You just aren't going to win alot of games at the high school level when you have to depend on sophomores and freshman. I think high school kids make their biggest leap going into that junior year. Anyways, best of luck next week, I'll be rooting for you guys. Edited November 7, 2015 by clevelandblueraiderfan

Are you kidding me?

 

I'm the "Farragut radio guy" and in all my years covering a number of schools I've never, and will never, call an upcoming opponent "not impressive." In fact we gushed over Coach Pemberton's success, how well Rhea runs his system, and how sound and well prepared the team appears on film (always in position, balanced, etc.). I don't know if you somehow misunderstood a comment, heard what you wanted to hear, or if you're just trying to get a rise out of your team and your community. We probably spent 10 minutes in the postgame show talking up Rhea County both to the Farragut players we interviewed and on our own during a brief preview of next week's game. Trying here to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I know what was said and know too how sincerely it was stated, as off the air while breaking down equipment we were still commenting on how Farragut will have to bring its A game next week.

 

As for Rebel Woman, if she's knows the "source", I guess I should say thanks for tuning in regularly, because I don't believe she knows me personally. 

 

And to all the Rhea County folks, you are so blessed to have one of the finest men I know working with your football and basketball players. I love Pete Billingsley and look forward to being able to catch up with him if only for a few minutes next Friday.

 

I'm sure Rhea will bring a big crowd for next week's game. Safe travels.
