Who is Betsy?  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

Good deal.

I wouldn't put this year's Elizabethton team in the same sentence with Alcoa. 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.

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

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?

    • 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.
