I'm not bashing Cloudland or any players at Cloudland I use to be one of them. If Corey stays at Cloudland he doesn't become near the player he is now. The kids at betsy are learning the game at a whole different level than the kids at Cloudland more competition more resources etc. Also why would you want to use a kid like him to play teams like Hancock Unaka and Jellico. Even if he does stay and is lucky enough to win a 1a ring you still go into college behind imo because Cloudland isn't in the weight room before they're first class through the year or near as much in the off season or near the camps passing league etc. Besides all that the main reason he came to Betsy was academics and baseball. That's straight from the horses mouth. He's my nephew.

Elizabethton didnt make Corey better, Corey made Elizabethton better.

I’ve been watching some film on Nolensville and there a good football team with some exciting players.Looking forward to this game Friday night.The Cyclones are going into this game pretty healthy and that is a good thing especially after playing 13 games.

Being healthy is a huge plus. I hear they pass heavy. What does the tape say?

I will agree with that.. He was a once and a lifetime talent. But he would have never and mean NEVER reached his full potential at Cloudland. This kid did whatever the coaches asked him and he was very coachable. Coaches helped him more than you know... Granted a lot was God given, but he had the coaches as well. It was a great fit.

i think if corey russell had stayed at cloudland they would have won the state championship he would have been player in the year in TN> and he could have signed at a much bigger college big fish in small pond small fish in giant pond kind of thing

Corey went to Elizabethton not just for athletics but for academics to. Corey had other offers from bigger schools but chose Centre College so he could play both football and baseball plus it is a top 50 academic school in the country. As far as recruiting at Elizabethton that is BS neither Corey or Cade was and trust me they had to pay tuition. As far as Corey having better stats and winning all the stuff mentioned at Cloudland we will never know but I do know this he loves Centre College and that is all that matters.

Pass 75%, not many outside runs that i saw. use the screen to get ball on the perimeter. A lot of inside reads as far as run.

Lawnman we just have to focus on what we do and not worry about what they do. If we do our plays correctly they well will be fine. No need to change what got you here. Play good hard nose physical football. Stay healthy and advance to the next game. Worked so far!  GO CYCLONES!

He helped the coaches more than you think.

gr8tplay you are correct and really don’t see any team being as good as the Devils team we just beat.
