You know the coach at Carthage thinks they can win the game in the monsoon. I believe Gville and Holt run it down their throat and make them like it and possibly run it up a tad bit. Holt is a player and earned my respect watching him last week. He got popped a couple times and he kept on coming back for me. He is a tough kid with good vision, moves, power, and speed.

Croz, how have crowds been in recent years for this game? I know about 15 years ago when i went to my 1st gordonsville vs carthage game it was electric. Still the same or has it died off?

It has died off. I put a video clip on facebook of the game winning touchdown in 98, and you can see the difference in the crowds. It's nothing like it used to be, however, they're are still decent size crowds.

Crowds and excitement seems to have dropped off some lately. I not sure but I don't think the Coach or q-back club ( if they still have one) create the excitement that was there in SC before. This year the  excitement and fans will be hard to judge due to limits on attendance and the SC showing last week.

But we'll see......I know moving the game to Sat. will certainly help the gate..

What is the typical attendance numbers? I wonder if we'll reach the limit of 1500.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
