You guys are killing me

These Rhea County refs you guys keep talking about are Athens officials

Anytime a McMinn fan talks about how bad Rhea County officials are I think of this….

That is hilarious

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

I was told by a “Blue Raider” that they will beat Maryville this year. I belly laughed.

With the Cleveland City Schools shutting down for the rest of the week, can this game be played?

Yes. They are using an “inclement weather” day, which are built into the schedule. It’s not a player issues it is a staffing issue.

I think McMinn lost too much to stay close to what should be the best Cleveland team in 10+ years.

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.
