We were not ready for tonight. I guess we got caught looking ahead to next week or something. Hopefully it’s a wake up call and we can right the ship. Give credit to Marion they were ready to play and we weren’t. We can not turn the ball over like that and expect to win. Also where we turned the ball over was killer too. It’s nice to see a passing game but the run game has to be there too and tonight it was not. On to Fulton and 0-0 record.

I agree we might have been looking ahead but make no mistake, we faced a good Marion County team that was very prepared. If we don't cut down on the mistakes we will be booted in the first round.    GO EAGLES!

I think that there were two freshmen playing in place of the Roddy's.  I would like to think that we will be ready Friday night.  Hopefully they don't have an athletic DT that blows up the middle... Who was the big man for Marion county?

#9 Showalters 6’ 2” 315 JR

We were exposed tonight. In the 9 years I've been following RC football I have never seen a quicker team then this Marion County team. They played very well and we didn't help things by Losing 4 fumbles, 2 in the red zone I believe. I like the way we threw the ball when we had to. We need to play better next week.     GO EAGLES!

If having trouble with speed and quickness is an issue, you may have an issue this coming Friday night.

Props to Marion County and Coach Pruitt they came up here to win this game regardless of what everybody thought or said this past week. 
Rhea came out flat and Marion attacked right from the start with the big pass play. From then on they were the aggressor and controlled pretty much every aspect of the game. Pruitt had the plan in place to shut the running game down that worked to perfection and in the process exposed some glaring weaknesses in Rhea’s O line. They dominated the line on both sides of the ball and beat the Eagles at their own game. The turnovers hurt the Eagles but some of that was Marion blowing things up at the line of scrimmage. Their defense was really good but nothing like what Knox West or Oak Ridge will put on the field for the Eagles IF we make it that far. The Eagle defense just got manhandled. These guys see misdirection and ball control every day in practice but they struggled with it in an actual game. I hope this can be blamed on lack of focus and not being ready to play because those things can be fixed. 

Caleb Martin had a great game. He was efficient, made good decisions, used his legs to extend and make plays and showed good leadership. People like to see the passing game but let’s face it folks the Eagles aren’t built for throwing for it, if the running game doesn’t get fixed this week the Eagles could be one and done  in the playoffs.
Out coached and out played there is a lot to learn from this game for the Eagles. Pemberton is usually good at fixing things that get exposed let’s see happens Friday.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
