Will Powell beat Catholic?

[BarneySox2007]

What ever happened on Maloney Road seems have put a curse on Catholic forever. Going with Powell.

What has happened to Knoxville Catholic?  They were really good for a number of years but since parting ways with Shane Matthews things have gone South and don’t appear to be getting better.  I know that D2 is a completely different animal than D1 but KC beat a really bad Father Ryan team and FR beat Brentwood and Cain Ridge which are considered to be good D1 teams.

D2 is a rellly tough classification.  what happened to Catholic is that they were playing D1, while following the rules of d2... When they finally wen to d2, and theyre playing a bunch of other schools that follow the same rules as them, they haven't been near as succesful in Football.  But, they've been pretty successful at basketball.

This is why I'd say they're a much better team than their record suggests, and despite the injuries, this will be a tough game for Powell.

Spot on. They haven't even won a playoff game since they moved to D2. Makes a difference when you're playing against teams that play by the same rules.

I think the biggest issue is the hiring of a coach that has zero ties to the Knoxville community. I could be wrong I suppose.

I don't think that's wrong, and there are rumors out there right now.

They should of hired Josh Jones, and done what ever it took to get him, regardless of how long current coach has been there.  Josh has ties all over the state because of future stars.  He would of had Catholic back on track in no time and competing for Championships.

And would have had a place where he was within the rules.  I bet he'd still move if they offered him.

Seems like that would be a no-brainer move, if he were offered. Certainly more $$$ and a lot more freedom to recruit.

Like I said, rumors out there that there may be an opening.

ANd in this case they're likely as true as the recruiting rumors.
