Whitwell didn't score in the middle school game I saw last week but seemed to have some good pieces in place. You never know what some of the schools in Hamilton County will bring to the field (or not), year in and year out, maybe ER is a playoff type team in 4A. 

ER is maybe average.....for a 1A school.

They will lose a lot of games. Whitwell was that bad last night.

Yeah... I disagree. ER would win a state championship every year if we were 1A. This years team should go .500% if they keep playing well. Whitwell had a once in a generation class of kids leave the program after last season. That being said I still do not think they would have beaten a 3 win East Ridge if they played last year. 

The talent gap was too wide for Whitwell to compete. We had too much speed on defense and used our field position well. Whitwell had a decent punter but he did shank a couple that gave the pioneers the ball around the 50 yard line.

The East Ridge players were fired up for this one especially. Whitwell has a lot of our coaches that were on the undefeated regular season team a few years back. I think our kids wanted to prove something... and to me they did.

ER would have came in third in region 3 1A and second in region 2 1A.Third round team MAYBE.

I like your confidence, but saying East Ridge would win a state title every year in 1A is a stretch. They have some good athletes most years, but so does Tyner. Tyner wouldn’t win a title every year in 1A and they have routinely hammered East Ridge when they face off.

You are correct sir!

Coach James is a good coach..too much speed. New coaching changes at Whitwell effected the game. Whitwell. Should improve as the season progresses if they work as a team

Your argument is invalid.

East Ridge was one of the smallest 2 or 3 Class 4A schools when the next classes were formed. They're now at 845 or so. They'll probably again be 4A by just a tad unless there's a move to 5 classes.
