Rhea County vs. Knox Catholic

[Eagle57]

Hey guys. Transplant from Mi living in Dayton and love watching the Eagles. Anyone know if the new young man from Florida will be playing this week? Love the site.

I agree Rhea played well. Forgotten in the talk is #7 in the state playing #10 in the state. Two really good teams there.

If fans were bad mouthing kids they should be called out, and frankly told to shut up or not show up again. Bad mouthing a kid is not acceptable. It's the coach's job to correct the players mistakes, not the fans. And the Coach knows who and what far better than any fan ever will.

I believe Knox Catholic wins this one easily . By at least 21 points. Bradley didn"t throw the ball very much. But then again they did not have to. Word on the street is Rhea's starting QB is playing over at Meigs co. Could be why parents are upset. Got family playing for Catholic, so i'm biased , but I can't see this one being close at all. Not on the road at Knox Catholic.

I'm not a Catholic fan. Obviously I don't like them much at all but I think you guys are being a little hard on them.

No, year in and year out they would not beat BA, Ensworth, or MBA. Most years I would say they wound't beat McCallie or Baylor either. 

They would handle PJPII and Father Ryan just fine in the east. If they were in D2AAA this year I think they would be a decent team. I'd have them 6th behind my D2AAA top 5 right now. 

 

1. BA

2. MBA

3. McCallie

4. Christian Brothers

5. Ensworth

6. KNOXVILLE CATHOLIC

Huh?  What do you mean the starting QB is playing over at Meigs County?   The starting QB played Friday night.

Aaron Swafford, Meigs County's QB, played middle school ball at Rhea Middle as a wingback before moving to Meigs. He never played for the high school and has started since his freshman year for the Tigers.

As far as the team goes, got to get the offensive line issues fixed first and foremost. I believe the pieces are all there- it's just getting them all in the right place in the right combination for this offense to gel. They have been moving guys around over the last few weeks with little or no improvement but they WILL figure it out - that's the coaches job and I am confident they will have it worked out by playoff time. 

As far as these fair weather "fans" that Pemberton called out on his interview - they are IDIOTS. I had a gaggle of them (grown men and women) sitting a few rows in front of me Friday night and yes they were directing comments at players and coaches and didn't care who heard it. Embarrassing and classless and worst of all some of these idiots had kids that were out there playing.  I don't agree with everything this coaching staff does every week from play calling to personnel and nobody else has to either and that's fine. When you by a ticket you have the right to your opinion but that's all it is  -an opinion. If that opinion is negative keep it to your self because behavior like Friday doesn't help anything, an adult should know that.

Word is that our QB will be back under center this week and we will be back running the Power T and Wing T with 2 tight ends. I think that's a good idea to get out of that shot gun and quit trying to throw the ball so much. I saw where the Herald had us getting sacked 8 times last week. If that's right it'll really help to just get back to doing what we've been doing the last few years. Was anybody at practice yesterday to see it that's right?

What about the transfer from Florida? Is he going to get some snaps on Varsity?

Catholic's defense has struggled to stop most teams this season. Giving up alot of points. I'm pulling for Catholic to win another high scoring game.
