How is 41-7 a fluke? Lol

It was a convincing win, but to help Eaglepride out. That 2008 team was one of the best and most talented teams in Rhea history. Rhea was suppose to beat Cleveland that year for the region championship. Rhea came out and laid an egg that night. I remember it well it was raining the whole time and we played absolutely sloppy that game. It was our 2 loss on a team that went 8-2 and eventually like most teams got put out by Maryville in the quarterfinals in a great football game. That a lot of Maryville folks still stop and talk about when they see me in my Rhea County gear. 

I also remember WV beating Cleveland the next Friday handing Rhea the region championship

Yes those next few years (09, 10, 11, and 12) were down years for us. Even though that 2012 team that went 2-8 did beat Cleveland. Then in 13 you guys put us out of the playoffs at home in another convincing win.

Yes.   that fluke game was your biggest victory over us in a generation other than that time you were able to trick our administration into hiring a cleveland grad to destroy our football program from the inside. 

Biggest victory over y'all in a generation? Maybe by score, but we knocked you guys out off the playoffs in 2013 pretty easily

That Rhea Co team was senior heavy but had sophomore Cameron Tallent at QB and IMO was the best team of the Fitzgerald era.

I don't know that I would call 2008 game a "fluke" but it was definitely a head scratcher. I don't know why but the simple fact is that with a few exceptions over the years, Rhea just doesn't play well over at Cleveland and they definitely laid an egg that night because that game wasn't as close as the 41-7 score. Even last year against a banged up Raider squad Rhea was lucky to get out with the W.

And yes that was Danny Wilson's last year at Cleveland., Slaughter was at Soddy Daisy.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
