Quarterfinals - Powell at West

[oridgecat]

The Clinton Coach is taking a beating for playing his son while admittedly not fully recovered.   If it were my son, and he had any degree of concussion, he would not play this Friday.  But then again, none of us REALLY know if the Deuce is concussed or not.  Bout to get vury enurstin.

Heck with that kid's safety.  Powell has a game to play, and doc that will clear him.

I'm sure they have a great network of doctors readily available from all corners of East TN.  Just easier to build that network on their commute to Powell.

Can you imagine letting your already concussed kid play against West? I'm pretty sure they have more TFLs and Sacks than any team in 5a.  You'd be putting his soul at hazard.

West Rebels will not mercy rule Powell Panthers in this game and Powell Panthers will for sure not mercy rule West Rebels.  It will not happen this game. I guarantee it. Watch and see. It is hard to beat a team twice so West Rebels will not get the mercy rule. I do not care what he said. I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

No. Didn't say that. Simply stated that there is no one size fits all "protocol".  Concussions are just like any other injury in that there are different degrees and different recovery procedures,  depending on the severity and response to treatment.

You'll find the protocol on page 2.  and i'm pretty sure that in knox county it means they have to pass that computer test they take in preseason.  My little cousing told me about that test. Pretty cool.

Mark my words y’all will be talking about how the freshman came in an elevated the team an gets them the W #5

That’d be awesome. More power to em if that ends up happening, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

Y'all are absolutely ridiculous.  Lowe cares about his boys.  If it is true that QB1 has a concussion and is not cleared by the team doc, then he will not be playing.  Stop trying to make it like, Lowe will play him no matter what just to get a win.

Going out on a limb. Whither OB1 plays or doesn't play, going with West. That West rush is just too much for Powell. But it should be close.

this is a bad take.  We've already heard rumors of him working around discipline rules and recruiting rules.  Why would health rules be any differnt?

Would definitely like to hear of these discipline rules you are talking about?  As far as recruiting goes, none of the coaches in Knox County have any right to cast the first stone.  

Saying that Lowe would put his players health, especially a head injury, in jeopardy is just wrong.  You might not like the guy, but it is totally wrong of you to say that he would purposely harm his players.

I remember one of their better players having to retire in the middle of the season the year they lost to HC at state. Pretty sure they take it serious.
