Do you know if Calhoun ever fielded a football team I know they had some pretty good baseball teams 

I don't think they did. Back then all the guys in Calhoun who wanted to play football crossed the river to play for Charleston.

In all honesty Rhea County is a class act when it comes to all things football. To be quite honest I as a McMinn fan was shocked that not only we pulled out the win but especially in the way we did. And ESPECIALLY with J Miller getting hurt and going out early in the game. I didn’t think we had a plan B if that happened especially against a team like Rhea. My comment was wrong saying cocky. One said Rhea in a blowout. We have a good defense so we should be able to keep games close. Another brings up officiating when it seems like we lead the state in penalties. It’s all good tho. Love HS football it’s the last bastion of amatuer football really. Rhea fans and football program are quality all the way around. Always strong. I apologize for grouping a couple of comments I didn’t agree with to everyone.

It’s all good, McMinn was ready to play and they played a game that would get any Cherokee fan excited! 
Going into the game I was concerned the Cherokee defense was going to cause our young line a lot of problems but then when Miller went down, I thought that was going to be really bad for y’all but QB Hester played really well and ran the offense very effectively. It may be because Rhea is young and inexperienced but I think this may be the most physical McMinn team I have seen in a while, it definitely made a difference in this game. 

I think the Eagle offense will come around because turnovers and penalties can be fixed and inexperience fixes itself but Rhea has some serious issues on defense that may or may not get fixed. Things don’t get any easier next week going to Anderson County.

RCfan good luck the rest of the way. The Eagles will just get stronger and stronger as the year goes on. Who knows? Maybe these two meet again and Rhea repays McMinn

Surprising score here. Don’t hang your heads, RC, a lot of football to be played! Hang in there, Golden Eagles.

Yes that’s correct SS. The Eagles got time to get it together and have a good year. The future is bright for sure but we got to head up your way next week and try to figure out some way to slow down your neighbor Anderson County. Martinez and the Maverick’s have been lighting up the scoreboard on some pretty good teams. 

Congrats on the win Friday, I know it’s really a one sided series but I know the Wildcats love beating the Dragons especially when Clinton has a pretty good team.

Yeah, who knows. I think the Eagles will improve but so will the Cherokees. It’s a big deal when a team can keep it’s composure and play that well when one of your best players goes down. McMinn proved they are not just a one man show this year.
