Starting RB went down and the backup hasn’t played yet this season. Had to play a freshman at RB, starting WR went down who also happens to be the starting safety. Honestly don’t think game is close if Tetoe doesn’t go down on the 1st series.

 

and the 2013 team was much better than this one.

It may not have been close if Tetoe didn't go down, but that's really a moot point for a seasoned 6A team that was supposed to be so good. All teams have injuries, with some starters out. McMinn had some freshmen and sophomores starting. Cleveland's conditioning was terrible!!!!!

Honestly, our numbers are low and we have to many kids going both ways for a 6A school. Cleveland has to stay healthy to be competitive with teams not named Maryville in the region.

McMinn had several starters on the sidelines this week.  Our D-line was playing both ways in the Central and Cleveland games.  It'll get a little better this coming week as we have a starting o-lineman that got cleared to play.  Hoping that will bring some relief to the kids on the d-line.

Bo said the schedule would be tough for his young, inexperienced team the first several games. McMinn could have easily won this game, and I believe that if they'd have had a few more games under their belt they would have beat Cleveland.

Doesn’t sound like a Wheeler coached team to not be in shape. His Covington teams were always the most conditioned of anyone we played!!

I was surprised myself, but they were.

LOL - ok, best team in 8 years.
By the way, who was the QB in 2013 - Herink?

I don’t know who it was but I know Cleveland was dang good that year. They just happened to run into the 2nd best team in 5A in the semifinals that year.
