Blazer, is Boone bringing the band and some fans? Last two weeks no bands and probably 150 fans total between both fan bases of crockett and mo west on the visitor side...

 

I sure hope our band comes, they are small in numbers but add a lot to the atmosphere and I think they do a great job, it is just not the same without them.      Boone traditionally travels quite well, I can remember lots of games > 50 miles away where we had more fans than the home team.     So it's hard to know, a lot of Boone fans may look at it like "Why would i want to drive 100 miles in 20 degrees to see West beat the daylights out of us..."          And for all the smack talk going back and forth, let's be honest, West is the heavy favorite by at least 20 points.     It's no secret that Boone has some guys out with injuries and West could possibly be the best team in the state regardless of classification.    I can only hope that the fans are willing to make the trip and support the guys and coaches who have worked so hard to make this season possible.  And I feel it is an honor to make it to this level, since 1971 Boone has only to been to the 3rd round 3 times including this one, we are almost always switching over to basketball at this time of year.

@blazer1set I thought it was only the 2nd time in school history to go to the 3rd round?

Yeah I cant believe how cold it will be this week for the game...I'm curious how many West fans will show up themselves, but they had a great showing this past Friday night despite the threat of rain and it still being wet, so they might come out again despite the 35 degree difference in temperature. Honestly both of these teams have come a long way to where West never got to the playoffs let alone the third and fourth rounds and now this season, being the first they have ever gone undefeated in to this point. Hats of to your guys and I'm looking forward to the game regardless as it is another chance to watch my team play.

I don't see this game as having a huge gap in ability.  Daniel Boone beat Science hill by 6.  Science Hill just beat Farragut by 21.  West beat Farragut by 19. 

 

Honestly,  I think both Daniel Boone and Science hill have a legitimate chance to win their games.

In 2009 Boone lost to South in the 3rd round and in 1999 lost to Elizabethton.     So this game against Knox West will be the 3rd time.     Definitely unfamiliar territory for Boone.      Is the 3rd time the charm as they say??

Not this time, but congrats on a great season up there Blazer!  Sorry to hear about the qb.

Yeah it's a real shame he will miss this last game, but stuff happens.   He's not the only guy out but you play with who you have and give it your best shot.

Your back up may not be the starter, but he is not bad. Quick feet and seems fearless.

Science Hill definitely has a shot.  Can't agree on the other.   Danull Boone is really good.  West is at another level.

Problem with this comparison is that West put the running clock on at half time. Game was over!  ILB, you'll see the difference in ability come Friday night. Won't be a contest! West is on a mission!
