Elizabethton played 5 region champions in their respective classes. 6a,5a (2), and 4a (2).  We won all of them except Greeneville which we got em back round 3.  No disrespect at all but these stats do not tell the whole story.  This defense is nasty and the offense is efficient.  Tully will know what we are going to run at them,  the question is will they stop it?

Well when you only have 6 teams in your region you have a luxury that Tullahoma did not. Tullahoma was moved from east to west and placed in a region with 9 teams, so they played two local rivals, both 6A teams. There is no disrespect to the Champ; but, this Tullahoma team is pretty special, very fast on offense, exceptional special teams, and a very hard hitting disciplined defense. The same can be said for Elizzy on stopping Tullahoma’s offense; the fewest points the wildcats have scored all year is 21 points.

Betsy the underdog? They are the 2x defending state champs. The West side of the bracket has won 1 title in the last 10 years. This is Tullahoma’s first ever trip to the title game. Betsy is king until someone can beat them when it matters. I think these are 2 evenly matched teams and, like everyone else, will be the best game of the weekend. This will come down to, can Tullahoma control its emotions or does experience prevail. Both defenses will steal the show in this one.

The issue with these statistics are that it’s based on your opponents out on the west side which no disrespect but has been known to be the weak side of the state when it comes to 4A football. Statistics are only relevant really if we had some common opponents. But I like everyone thinking we are the underdog. This bunch of young men from Elizabethton are a special group, probably will never be another group like them again and we sure hope they can complete this dynasty 

Every week all season long when I looked at the rankings it was Greeneville Tullahoma, Pearl-Cohn, Haywood, Montgomery-Central, Marshall County and Elizabethton moved around in there somewhere. There were more top 10 teams from the western side this season each and every week. I know rankings don't tell the whole story, but to say that there wasn't much competition out west might be a stretch. I honestly can't see why Tullahoma at 86.20 degrees west was in the west region but it saved Elizabethton meeting us last Friday instead of this Saturday.  I think the perceived competition gap is closing year by year and will achieve parity pretty soon. But I guess it takes a west bracket champion to step up and do it. Bless Haywood for toting the water this long. Them kids got some broad shoulders out there.

Elizabethton defense is giving up 10.9 points per game though 14 games while their offense is scoring 33.7 points per game.  T Town defense is giving up 9.3 points per game through 14 games and their offense is scoring 38.1 points per game.  I'm gonna go against my gut and say Tullahoma pulls out a very tight win.  Either way I think its a 3 point difference at the most.

Good analysis but your numbers for The Cyclones is incorrect. EHS has only played 13 games. 9 game regular season. So their stats are..

PF 502   ( 38.6 ppg )

PA 122   (9.4 ppg )

just wanting the numbers to be what they are  so, now it’s more even and even more interesting…..

EHS   38.6 ppg     9.4 ppg

THS   38.1 ppg    9.3 ppg*

* using the already stated stats for Tullahoma

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
