We will agree to disagree! Rhea rights the ship this week. Pruitt and company opened their eyes and brought the young Eagles back to reality. They will be sharp this Friday! Hope we can keep it from being a running clock.

I think you're sandbagging us Knox. You and I both know that this team of farm boys isn't going to be able to keep up with that big city school.

Don’t know anything about Fulton at all but what I do know is Rhea defense isn’t very good. The offense has to be almost perfect and score a lot for  Rhea  to win. The defense  allows way to many points to be considered a contender this year.  Hopefully they can play more than one playoff game this year and get better next year. Defense wins championships and Rhea is not there.

You will play 2 and call it a year!

Lol Ok Lou Holtz .....your blowing a lot of smoke up everybody’s rear end.
 

Fulton is 4-4 (throw out the 2 COVID losses), they have won the games they should have won against 4 mostly mediocre teams and have lost to 4 pretty good teams. I don’t know their injury situation but from what I have seen they are pretty athletic and I know they are well coached.

Rhea Is 9-1 coming off an embarrassing loss to a team they should have been able to beat but couldn’t. I believe part of it was not being ready to play and part being that Marion County was a little better than advertised and matched up well with the Eagles. Aside from that game Rhea won 8 games that it should have against mediocre teams and  1 game it probably shouldn’t have won. The only common opponent was Karns that both Fulton and Rhea won easily. The Eagles are young and have had problems with turnovers and penalties the entire season and I’m hearing they may be going into this game a little banged up at a couple of spots.
I think we will see a more focused Eagle team than we saw last Friday and I think we will see a  better Fulton team than last year. That being said I expect this to be be a much closer game than the last one.

LOL RC, thanks for that flashback opening line. Lou's press conferences, his teams couldn't beat anybody!

Big City??? You do realize we are playing and have been playing with 4A numbers???

Nobody forced Fulton to move up but the fact is that Fulton with 4A numbers has much more talent than most 5A schools, and Rhea County is one of them. I think Fulton will win this game due to superior talent and strength of schedule. Since I don't follow Fulton, I'm not sure about their injury situation. I'm torn on this game because I want Fulton to win, I expect them to win, but if OR wins vs Soddy, I would prefer OR to play Rhea County, because we all know what happened last year when OR went to Fulton. All that being said, Go Falcons!

This is a team sport.  Talent is a factor but the most important factor is a team playing as a team, being prepared and not making mistakes.  Strength of schedules is subjective not objective.  I would have never thought Marion County could hang with, let alone beat, Rhea County ... but it happened.   I expect the Eagles to be better prepared and fully aware that nothing is guaranteed and that the victories must be earned by playing smart as a team.

Team or individuals won’t matter in this one. Rhea moves on to Round 2 to face eventual state champion OR.

Whatever you just said, if it means that Fulton, a more talented team than RC, beats RC Friday night, then we agree!!!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
