Did the good LB from Powell #44 get injured last week? I’ve been hearing some rumors of a ligament tear in the knee. Could totally be just rumors but I believe it to be true. 

Havn't heard of anything about that.  That kid is a difference maker for sure.  Powell is loaded at LB, and RB, so it will be next man up!  Powell goes 4 deep at RB (and can all flat out start on a lot of teams) and 3 deep at MLB, and OLB.

Powell should win this game.

Hadn't heard that, but I guess we'll see come Friday night.

Powell wins this one in a blowout. Halls gets exposed starting this week.

Pulling for the Red Devils.  Just wish I could attend.

Ill be at this game, but believe Powell wins big.  Halls has the right style of offense to keep this game close, if they run the ball, get some first downs and keep the clock moving they may be able to avoid a blow out.   I don't believe they have a strong enough defense though to keep Powell from lighting up the score board.

If these coaches stay where they are, and Halls can avoid kids transferring out, this rivalry should become one of the best in Knoxville in the coming years.

That is a great storyline to this game. I'm sure Cummings would love to finally get one against Matt Lowe.

Won't be this year....

I agree.  Halls is much improved from years past and will continue to improve under Cummings and his staff, but they just are not ready to compete with teams in the top tier in 5A yet.

No reason to blow you up.  Looking back through the thread I think that is the opinion of most.
