Powell vs. Rhea (5A Quarterfinal)


FHSAlum12

Recommended Posts

Both of these teams are very capable of scoring a lot of points and they both have had games were they allowed a lot of points to other really good offensive teams.    I could be wrong, but neither defensive looks like one of those defensive type teams that good offensive teams have trouble adjusting their plan to.   Both teams are probably confident they can and will score points if they play error free football and they should be.

We are in the part of the playoffs where all the teams are good teams and playing complete error free football becomes the deciding factor.  So I think it is going to come down to  which team makes the least mistakes - mistakes which removes their ability to score or gives the other team "easy points".   

The Eagles have been playing really good football since the loss at Elizabethan, going about the business of doing what it takes to win regardless of the opponent.  

I'm going with the Eagles in what will likely be one of those games not for the faint of heart.

I'm really torn on this one. Either Rhea runs all over Powell (similar to what we saw against Karns) or the trio of Nolen, Soles, and Stanford blow up the point of attack and consistently put the Eagles off schedule. I really don't know which we will see, but the Panthers better be prepared to play their assignments tonight. I also think Stockton is going to be used a lot to keep Rhea's defense off balance.

This game feels like a toss-up to me, but I think the cold could be an interesting factor that should play in Rhea's favor. Looking forward to a great game!

osunut2...Feeling uncertain? Think both teams can win? Well, you've come to the right place. Just do what I did :

On this tread, I picked Rhea County. On the CoachT.com Big Ones Contest  I selected Powell.

Lol, Willie you ain't right! No, wait a minute, I did the same thing, only picked the opposite, Powell on here, Rhea Co. on the Big Ones contest. I need some upset on the contest to get back in it.

Once you fall behind on The Big One Contest it is almost over for you. I've seen some people get back in he game but I've never have done it.

It’s Game Day!!! It’s going to be nice and frosty tonight. It will be interesting to see how that plays into it. The one thing on defense for Rhea that I would like to see is creating turnovers.  That is something we really haven’t done as much of this year. Outside the game with Campbell Co when we had 4 INTs we really haven’t forced a lot of turnovers in 12 games.

    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
    • I am pro coach all day long but there are some knucklehead hires for sure. 
    • This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
