Upperman radio guys congratulated Elizabethton but said the didn't necessarily earn it tonight.    Said Upperman made too many turnovers and mistakes.     Not sure what to make of that..... sour grapes?    or an element of truth to it?      Only someone who was at the game can answer this for sure, not us guys listening on the radio.

Sour grapes....  don’t want to eat crow after their pregame show last night.  Disciplined football teams don’t make mistakes,  we didn’t make mistakes.  They did.  Their qb is an athlete,  but definitely not a passer.  Their defense was tough,  but didn’t stop us when they needed to.  Good game from Upperman,  very good football team.  The better team won the game,  despite what their radio guys think.

I’m not joking,  upperman has some very good athletes.  That is a state caliber team next year.  Clean up the mistakes and don’t get away from what you do best.  Hind sight is 20/20 but I’m sure uppermans coach will kick himself the whole ride home.  Those boys have nothing to hold their heads down for though,  tough bunch of kids.

Elizabethton 2 best offensive players were not 100% so their offense struggled but their defense played great and idk why Upperman tried to pass because that was not their strength

Not the Cyclones best game on offense but the D was nasty and coming off the Greeneville game not to bad.

We are wondering the exact same thing. Why were we passing the ball to start the game?

Great win Elizabethton. From everything I'd seen early on, I thought it was going to be a strong competition in this years 4A final four . Now it's for the gold and Elizabethton's chance to make history in NET.Bring it home !

Great win for “Lizbethton” very good team and very deserving of this win. Hopefully next year we will see you in Baxter and make a better game of it!

With a coaching change coming in Cookeville next year I foresee some transfers coming in and making this team even stronger.

Why did Upperman coach start throwing the ball at the start of game.
