Red Bank and Central both have excellent teams this year, as does Tyner. All teams deal with injuries throughout the season, and Signal has a few of its own. Calvin Jackson is an outstanding athlete, and I hope he is healthy and has a stellar senior year. There is no denying that Red Bank is a much more dynamic team when he is on the field, but they are still a tough opponent when he is sidelined.

Overall, I think Signal would be an underdog against any of the three teams listed above. However, Signal is better than most people realize this year. I think we will matchup well against Red Bank, and I'm expecting a good game.

We want a big crowd and a good gate for the game, but this is the televised game of the week on the CW Chattanooga, so anybody who can't attend can catch it on TV or record it for later viewing.

Final

20-13 final. Signal switched Lowry to QB in the second half and had an opportunity to tie it late in the fourth, but fell short.

Proud of the grit that my Eagles showed in the second half. Aside from finally doing something offensively with Lowry at QB, I was most impressed that our defense held Red Bank scoreless in the secondhalf. Starting QB  just had a bad night and was out of sync with his receivers in the first half. I expect to see him put it behind him and step up after this game.

I remember the years where Hogan Whitmire and then Reese Phillips were up at the field EVERY Sunday afternoon, twelve months a year throwing every route to every receiver. The receivers wouldn't have dared not show up, rain shine or snow. Maybe that tradition needs to resume.

Red Bank looked good. Jackson didn't show any effects from his strained hamstring. Hopefully, he was able to get it healed and will have a great senior year.
