Rhea Co. Posted August 30, 2020 Report Share Posted August 30, 2020 Rhea Co welcomes Walker Valley to the nest Friday night to open Region 4-5A play. WV is coming off a hard fought loss to cross county rival Bradley. Rhea is coming off a much improved showing against our long time rival Jefferson Co. Walker Valley scares me with what they can do on offense. Pope to Swafford seems to be the big play connection. Rhea’s pass defense is going to have to be on their toes Friday. Rhea’s freshman running back Davis looked good in his first varsity action last Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively I think this team will be as good if not better with so many starters returning. Now offensively we have so many young and new faces I think the jury is still out on if they will be better than last year. With us starting a few freshmen and a few sophomores I think there is going to be a learning curve these first few games. I love the potential I’m seeing but we will see as the season goes on. Friday will be a great test. Edited August 31, 2020 by Rhea Co. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCfan Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Big improvement by the Eagles from week 1 to week 2. CMP was able to iron out some of the kinks last week that are normally fixed during scrimmages. Defense should end up better than last year but tackling will have to continue to improve and the secondary is going to have to hang on to some of passes they are getting hands on, especially this week. Offensively just as Rhea Co. said there a lot of potential as these youngsters grow into the offense. This offense could end up being very explosive. i saw enough of Walker Valley last year to know they would be tough this year. The coaching has improved immensely and they have some solid athletes. This could be a tough game for the Eagles considering the youth at key positions on offense. Eagle fans may think I’m crazy but Walker Valley could be one of the best one or two teams on Rhea’s schedule this season. Should be a good game GO EAGLES!!!
