Elizabethton vs Anderson County

[FormerMav]

Taken down by Eli Davis for a safety.  AC 30 E 24. 

I'm sure on side kick is coming

[FormerMav]

I'm not sure that wasn't the worst thing for Elizabethton.  They have a chance for the on side kick.

AC recovers on side kick.

Smartest move by a coach in a while...trailing by four backed up, and what do you do? Not many would have thought of it under that much pressure, but brilliant even if it didn't work, gave them a shot at a short field.

What on earth is Elizabethton doing??

No clue but glad they tried to run it rather than passing. As FMV said, E’s QB kept them in it.

Congratulations Elizabethton not Betsy...In Respect!

AC recovers on side kick, runs out the clock with another 1st down. 

AC o line impressed me tonight, very balanced attack.  A mobile qb that can extend plays and still deliver the ball down field are the mavs weakness. But  that's most HS teams. If AC doesn't fumble on the 1 it's 35 - 24 AC  which is about right IMO. AC looks about 2 or 3 scores better than Elizabethton.  

Elizabethton has some really nice players.  82 was tough all night.  The QB was outstanding.  They had a td with a block in the back but they also dropped a td pass in the first half so I guess it evened out.

I get what coach was doing but I felt we could have tried a few passes instead of runs up the middle. EHS stayed in the game for sure and made it more of a game than it honestly should have been. 

I can give credit where credit is due and AC has some great players. 2 RBs, QB and some big WRs that made our guys look tiny. Like I said..if AC doesn't go all the way this can be nothing but a disaster season for them. Good luck with Greeneville. It'll be the hardest test you'll face all year.

Idk what elizabethton was doing at end of first half or with a little over a minute to go in 4th. I can’t believe Elizabethton kicked the fg but he made it but is was 4th and 2 or 3.

Congratulations FM! Big game in AC Country next week. Two 12-0 Football teams. It’s what HS Football is all about.

I don't know that losing to GV is a disaster.  Would it sting? Sure.

GV is undefeated with athlete's all over the field and a great defense.  They are number one,  rightfully so.  AC hasn't beaten them in a looong time. It's true AC will be down next year, we lose a lot. Eventually they'll pop back up again though.  

I firmly believe that just like 2018, the winner of this game goes on to win it all.  This game is the defacto championship game. IMO
