I graduated in 1996 and I’ve 3 rings with the raiders. Played against rhea and mcminn all 4 years. Although I’ll admit rheas are bad, they are worse in Athens. We had a touchdown called back 2 plays in a row and both times the ref called holding on a guy that wasn’t even in the game

Actually ‘95, we only played Rhea Co. your Freshman year. We did scrimmage them at McMinn a week before we opened at Hixson (and won 70-0) your Sophomore year. Rhea went 5A and we were 4A. We did play McMinn every year because Benny and John were best friends.

Off-topic: But as someone who used to be connected to the Rhea Co. program, I would like to point out a couple of inconvenient truths, if I may; First off, you do realize don’t you that there is no such thing as a “Rhea Co. official”? Officiating crews are assigned different games each week. It would be unusual to see the same crew at your stadium twice in a season, and practically unheard of to see them more than twice. Secondly, back in the day of newspapers (remember those?) you could pick one up any Saturday morning and view the box score from the Rhea Co. game. By penalties a typical week would say: opponent 6-45 yards Rhea 13-140 yards. That was true whether the game was home or away.

I will say there can be an occasional exception to what I just said. Here in NW Georgia, there used to be one school who refused to use the local officials association for their home games. They brought in officials from the Atlanta association. You could count on getting hosed there, because the association wanted to keep them as ‘customers.’ I won’t name the school because the former longtime head coach is a good friend of mine.

    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
    • Shopping? His family is loaded and he's 6'6 I'm pretty sure he could start anywhere in upper East TN,So no need to shop. Word is Witten got caught trying to work him out on campus and some 7 on 7 while playing athletics for Sullivan East. Word got around pretty quick and Someone turned them into TSSAA.
    • Quick update on Jacob -  Jacob celebrated his 16th birthday at Vanderbilt on Tuesday and has been in decent spirits.  His sense of humor has begun to show as he was visited by many friends.  He is swallowing a lot better now and has eaten some of his favorites (Chik-Fil-A and Five Guys).   He is getting prepared to head to Atlanta to the Shepherd Center first thing tomorrow morning.  His family has been waiting on insurance approval. In case you dont know the Shepherd Center it a world class facility and supposedly one of the best in the country for spinal injury rehab.  Praying for perfect results there. Considering the circumstances, Jacob is in decent spirits.  He has some reflexive movement in his legs which I think is probably a very positive sign.  Don't read too much into that just yet as there is no telling what the real prognosis is... just hopeful that is good thing.  I am really just happy that it seems like he has a punchers chance of getting something back.  He is a strong young man and very determined so I think he will fight as hard as he can in physical therapy while down in Atlanta. More than one of you has asked me about an address to send donations.  I know GoFundMe isn't for everyone.  If you want to go that route, you can make a check to "Blackman Wrestling Club" and we will pass anything received directly to the Kinderdines.   Jacob Kinderdine c/o Blackman Wrestling 4836 Trevino Court Murfreesboro, TN  37128 Also, want to thank everyone who has donated so far.  Jacobs dad will take a month off work and stay in Atlanta with him.  They need to learn how to take care of him and do home therapy work..... and surely Jacob will be glad his dad can be there.  All that could not happen without you all.  Depending on what happens, they will probably end up doing some home remodeling in order to accommodate Jacob at their home.  Thanks again. Here's a pic I lifted from Facebook of Jacob on Oxy talking to his Uncle.  LOL
