Yep.  That's how it went down.  About 8 minutes to go in the 4th.  

Amazing how folks want to build Powell up to be more than they are.  A really good team, yes, I just don't see them as this super defensive team.  I'm sincere in saying that I think that West will prove to be a better team than you all are implying.  I know that West is a better all around team than Rhea County (hard to admit about your own team).  And I think that they probably are 3 to 4 touchdowns better.  Put nine in the box against West and watch what happens.  Back to my original prediction, West by 21 points.  No skin off of y'alls back, it's my prediction.  I respect your predictions, lol.  You can laugh at mine.

As for Rhea, they moved the ball the whole second half (wish they would have made adjustments before halftime).  Just couldn't punch it in until about 5:30 left, about three or four plays after Walter went out unfortunately... In the 4th quarter, not at halftime, like your friends were saying.  So,  you might want to check on Powell's defense before Friday night.  IF the big guy goes down again, it will be a really long night for Powell. Don't blame his stinger on "chop" blocks either, lol.

What's funny is that you took my confirmation of the kid going out with a shoulder ding with about 8 minutes left and turned it in to a sour grapes rant.

HTV, Actually, I was using you as one who agreed with me, that the Powell defensive starters were not sitting on the bench the second half.  No sour grapes here, we (Rhea County) got our rears handed to us. We lost by 14, FACT.  

Why do some folks like to argue with you when you are trying to agree with them?  

- Happy Thanksgiving to you all!!!  Enjoy the game (s).

Powell was up 27 before the first score by Rhea Co. in the 4th Qtr.  I don't know RC schedule but were you ever down 27 in any of the other games.? Don't believe anyone has built them up, if anything, people who have been around the program take the opposite approach knowing that Powell has a way of losing games in the playoffs. Usually it's the game like Rhea Co. that they lose, but this time they didn't. West no doubt has a good team and will be a tough match for Powell as they have athletes that can compete with Powell's. Both teams are familiar with each other and have a nice rivalry on and off the field. Should be a nice matchup. But a reminder to you, Powell was up 27 in the 4th before you scored when you want to say Powell isn't this or that.

Powell was mass substituting at that point and RC scored against backups, with just a few starters sprinkled in.  

Go back and watch it.

The reason he argues is because you are questioning his “Almighty Powell Panthers”. You must have missed the memo, say ANYTHING about Powell and he’ll jump completely down your throat. It’s worse than Sinning.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
