Rhea Co. @ Knox Gibbs

[Rhea Co.]

After a thrashing of Lenoir City and a home play-off birth. The Golden Eagles head north to the home of Kenny Chesney and the Gibbs Eagles. I think we keep rolling and go 5-0 to start the season. Gibbs is coming off a win over Campbell in which they had a very Rhea County like rushing performance. 

Go Golden Eagles!

This could be a good game next Friday night. WIth both teams running the ball it could be over quick. 

I will take Rhea County 28-14.

2 similar teams who both like to tote the rock. This should be your basic “control the LOS, play solid special teams and take care of the football and you win” type game.

I don’t know much about Gibbs except they like to run and they have been tough on opposing QBs this season knocking 3 out in 5 games. On the other hand Rhea has controlled the LOS, played decent special teams, took good care of the ball and overall has played pretty well in their first 4 games this year. The schedule gets more difficult starting this week but this group seems to be coachable and improving week to week. Gibbs may be the most physical team the Eagles have seen thus far but I like Rhea to win this one... but it could be a close game.

GO GOLDEN EAGLES!

Rhea Co. has been excellent with the hand-offs and ball security, keeping miscues and fumbles to a minimum. I can recall an INT in the first game and to my knowledge have not turned it over since. Keep it Up Eagles!

Looks like Rhea is the underdog this week....

I don't see how anyone could think that Gibbs would win or keep it close. Looks like knoxville reporters were just phoning this one in because they haven't been checking in on Rhea co.
