Just read the game preview and all the Blackman players listed are studs with lots of attention but the guy who's seems a little under the radar is QB Connor Mitchell. This guy has a nice arm, can make big plays with his legs and seems to understand their offense and what is expected of him.

He reminds me a little of Seth Marshall the Knox West QB who gave the Eagles fits in semis in 2014.

Just for the record we have 2 sports writers who primarily cover RC football - one picked the Eagles and one picked the Blaze and they both do an excellent job!

I think you are on to something. He is a really quick player that can beat you with his feet or his arm... No slam againt the writers they seem like real good people...and you should pull for the home team.

Them and McMinn county could possibly be worse

McMinn is the worst. I guess that's what you get when the  referee association is located in Athens.

Looking forward to it. Hope to find something close to the stadium to eat.

 

Hoping someone told you this but just in case.  The only place close to the stadium is the Deli Mart which is located across the highway.  Your best bet is to eat in Dayton when you come through.

The high school is 7 miles away from civilization (... at least that is what the Ooletwah folks say ...)

And the refs at Rhea are no worse than the refs at McMinn, Cleveland, Walker Valley, etc.

Do they have a good burger at the game?...

They grill burgers on the home side - not sure about the visitors side.   Very light on the condiments though - basic stuff.   

[TNVolFan2000]

Oh and the Deli Mart does make burgers and chicken -  not that bad, really.  But there are good restaurants in Dayton if you are looking for a better selection.

Anyone that complains about Rhea obviously has not played McMinn in Athens.

I don't understand that ... refs sould never show bias... and if it appears to be the case you find different crews to bring in, because you don't want that to be the reputation your homefield has. 

To be clear, I don't think the refs for Rhea are actually from Rhea.  Rhea typically has as many penalties, sometimes more than the visiting team.
