Rhea Co. @ Soddy

[Rhea Co.]

Big rivalry game with a lot on the line as far as the playoffs go. Winner gets a home game, loser goes on the road to either Oak Ridge or Fulton. Soddy has had some great games and some head scratchers this year. Rhea has to get healthy this week and the rest of the season going into the playoffs. We are missing so many starters and key back ups right now and it’s showing. However, we have gained valuable playing time for some of the younger guys. Should be a good game and a hard hitting game too.

Injuries sure seem to be an issue this season. We are also still having way too many penalties and mental mistakes. We allowed a below average 2A Marion to hang around and were just a couple of plays away from giving that one away. We simply can't do that against Soddy. If we don't play a lot better than we did this past Friday, it could get ugly. Folks had unrealistic expectations for this year's team and when they didn't deliver early in the season, everyone stopped coming out to support. I can't ever remember seeing such a small crowd at homecoming. I think all these things together are impacting the players. They know folks are disappointed by the lack of people coming to the games. Fans tend to forget that the boys are disappointed in this season too. This season can still be respectable. We just have to clean up the mistakes get a win over Soddy and hopefully pull off a 1st round playoff win. That would get us to 6-5 in the end and that's not bad. We just don't have the team we did a few years ago and we can't expect to put those kinds of teams together every year. Now, let's all do our part this week to encourage the team and actually show up at the game Friday night.

I think the only chance we have is to have long sustained drives that eat up the clock. We can't get into a shootout with them with the way they can throw the ball and for Gods sake keep their receivers in front of us. I don't like our chances in this one but still say...............GO EAGLES!

Correct me if I'm wrong. But if Rhea County wins, would that move Catholic into 1st place? Since Catholic has a win head to head vs Rhea and SD would have 2 losses.

Yes, if Rhea wins then Catholic would be first and Rhea 2nd. If Soddy wins, they will be first, Catholic 2nd, and Rhea 3rd.

Looking at the standings.....when Soddy beats Rhea.....Lenoir City (2-1)  and Catholic (2-1) will be tied for first.....Soddy (2-1) 3rd and Rhea 4th. Overall records would push Lenoir City and Catholic above Soddy.

Overall records does not impact region standings. Only head to head matters. So in the above scenario Soddy would be a higher seed than Catholic due to Soddy beating Catholic.

You are correct...technically it's most wins....so again....with Catholic and Lenoir City at 5 wins they vault above Soddy

If Soddy wins, they win the region, Rhea to third.

If Rhea wins, Catholic wins the region. Soddy to third.

Yeah that is the two most likely scenarios.If Rhea wins tonight. Then the much less likely scenario is LC beats Catholic in two weeks. Then Rhea wins the region LC finishes 2nd, Soddy 3rd, and Catholic 4th. 

If soddy wins and LC beats Catholic. LC wins the region 2nd Soddy, 3rd Catholic and 4th Rhea. 

There are scenarios with WV pulling off an unthinkable win or two really shaking things up. I don’t see that happening with WV giving up 40 something points a game 

[Eagle4life55]

Hats off to Soddy for making plays when they needed to. Those two turnovers and the chop block in the first half sure didn't help us out any. I just have to wonder why after driving the ball down toward the red zone on the last drive did we attempt to throw on 2nd down and take that sack. Then we tried to throw it on third down and got sacked again. The 4th down incomplete pass looked like it was trying to set up a trick play like a hook and lateral or something. At that point we were too far behind the sticks and had to try something. At this point, I'm just glad Blackman opted not to play us. We all know we can't beat Cane Ridge and can't win on the road against Oak Ridge or Fulton. We just don't have that kind of team. We are going to have a 4 win season with one of those being a 2A Marion, a 3A Brainerd, Walker Valley that's going to be 0-10, and Lenoir City. Oh well, there's always next year!

Go Eagles!
