This is a Rhea County vs Powell thread.....lol....I though you nicknamed Rhea County Betsy....lol my bad....So maybe you can't read....Cause this thread says RHEA COUNTY vs POWELL....Not BETSY (who ever that is) vs POWELL....lol Well it just showed you don’t get outside of Knox County at all. Betsy (Elizabethton) is the defending 4a state champs that beat Rhea earlier in the year. I didn’t bring up Betsy, another poster did and how he thinks Powell could beat them by 21+ points. Alcoa and Betsy have been the two beat teams Rhea has played this year so trying to compare other teams. Betsy is also we’re Jason Witten played and also the only school to win state when there was only 1 classification, something no other school can claim 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greeneville, yes, but not Elizabethton. And that particular poster has very close ties to this Powell team, so it's not surprising that he sees things a bit biased. Powell has the talent to compete on that level, but until they learn to play with more discipline they aren't there. Funny, the only time I hear anything about Powell down here in Rhea County is when they are accused of recruiting another teams players or some other cheating stories.........allegedly of course.

Funny. We don't "here" much about you guys, either. But I do respect Mark Pemberton and the job he has done everywhere he's been. Solid football coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking if Rhea Co. can somewhat slow the game down and run clock and keep the Panthers Firepower on the sidelines........????? If not, it could easily be a 42-21 Powell type game........? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepvol Posted November 16, 2021 Report Share Posted November 16, 2021 Rhea has to play better defense . Rhea executes really well with their Offense and that's why it was so surprising to see their Defense against Karns . Should be a good game but I think Powell's Defense with the Big boy in the Middle will be the Difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a good game but I think Powell's Defense with the Big boy in the Middle will be the Difference When I was teaching and coaching in Georgia years back we played Commerce High School, coached by Ray Lamb. His son Bobby ended up starring at Furman and I think played with George Quarles a year. Commerce ran the wing-t to perfection, we couldn't stop it for one main reason. Kids want to make the tackle, be in on the play, be the star. It is almost impossible to get high school kids to play assignment football for a whole game. They start looking for the ball (which deception is a key for the wing-t) and they forget they have an assignment. Rhea Co. runs the tightest, quickest, version of this offense I've ever seen. They will get their points. Question will be, will it be enough points? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
