Anderson County vs. Elizabethan

[olecotton]

We have to play well this is the Elizabethton we all know. They are at the top of the mountain right now one of the best teams in the state. I know Davey will have us ready to run through a brick wall. We have to come with the right mind set. One game at a time, one brick at a time. Nobody will have it better then us if we take care of US.

Great post!!

You know Rider had a similar game in 98 in the semis against Maryville when we only had 5 classes and inexplicably Maryville was in 4A. Having both of his grandkids a jr an sr those boys left it all on the field to win a State Championship for the Man who meant everything to them and molded them into the men they later became. 
Cyclones led the whole way on the road on a cold wet night only to loose on a 75yrd trick play with under a minute to play and Maryville with no timeouts. . Although Jason came back with another loss in the semis to Knox Central. I CANNOT imagine the utter devastation Rider and the Boys felt after being a play or 2 away at Maryville from delivering a State Championship to the Man they both loved and respected so much. Of course Rider retired the next season but i can’t help but think he carried the ghosts of Lynn Goddard to his grave.

No excuses. Other than its clearly a down year for us and by all accounts you should beat us. It's a lose lose situation for you all. Where were you the 3 years we made it to state? Oh yeah..silent.

Have not posted in years but could not resist to reply on this one. The only people I have heard making excuses over the last years is you.  If we had this, if we done that, if we , if we, if we,   You still have no gold ball and mark it down you will not have one this year,

No excuses from me! This is yall's year, we are down a little, so you guys should beat us. If you don't, then I guess you weren't as good as you thought you were. A 42 point beatdown and a running clock, I doubt that very much. But good luck to you guys anyway, even though it's obvious you won't need it.

Calm down Woody. Lol  95 is good fan like me. We get carried away. We will still have to play Greeneville even if we win through, anyway it goes. My excitement and 95 is encouraging that we at least have some fans on Coacht. But I wish the best for Elizabethton and injury free game. Remember when Greeneville comes along in playoffs we all need to knock them Out! Because I am still

I realize it's hard not to take the troll bait.  But you also should realize if you think about it for a minute that most AC fans know and respect Elizabethton's tradition and program.  For the record, I see a much closer game.  Of course, we can always hope.

I remember that game well because I was sitting there at the 40 yard line and when Shawn scored with little over a minute left in the game me and my brother in law were celebrating but it didn’t last long because of that trick play.If I remember right Shawn thought there player stepped out of bounds on that play.I can only imagine how Rider and the players felt because I was about ready to cry…lol
