Mcminn County vs Clinton

[RichyRich]

After mcminn dropping the ball the last two games to drop to 6-4, does mcminn beat an average Clinton team that beat heritage by 12, or does Clinton get the upset. I can't remember the last team these two teams played, may even be before my life time. If things play out how I think they should, I think mcminn gets the W and gets a rematch with oak ridge, final score=

McMinn County Cherokees 36

Clinton dragons 22

Clinton has plenty of talent, but they’re a strange team, who knows which team will show up. I thought OR (if we win, that is) plays the winner of the Rhea/Lenoir City game?

Lat time they played was 1975 with McMinn winning 48-7. McMinn holds a 5-4-1edge in the series.

Wow, long time ago. Oak Ridge won state that year in 3AAA and were #3 in the nation, I believe. Many ages ago. Seems like we beat MC in the playoffs that season.

1975 was my Jr year and Oak Ridge beat Bradley 12-9 that year at Oak Ridge, after losing to McMinn County (Hubert Simpson) and Baylor to start the season. It was Bradley's last loss that year and then went 13-0 the next year to win the championship for 1976 in a game voted most exciting int he US, the 3 OT win over Jackson Central-Merry 50-48.

I think that was another year you’re thinking of, maybe ‘79 or ‘80, because the only game OR lost in ‘75 was to Knox Central, 7-3. Beat Nashville Maplewood in the finals, 46-22. I could’ve misread your post though. If so, I apologize.

Oh I thought the number 2 team from our region would play #1 team from your division

Heck, who knows man. To be the best you gotta beat the best, regardless of how it transpires.

I think oak ridge beats east Hamilton

I think mcminn beats Clinton 

I think walker valley beats Campbell County

I think rhea county/lenior city Is gonna be the one that's a toss up. But I think the golden eagles could pull off the W based off experience in the playoffs

That last one may end up being the best game out of them all.
