Anyone know what's ailing Wheeler? He's looked gimpy all game long.

I think Wheeler is a front runner. Goes up against a good defense and shows he has no class. Should have gotten flagged and kicked out for the punch he threw on West side line. I think it was him who later got tossed for spearing a West player while he was on the ground. The kid seems spoiled and a very unsportsman like attitude.

Attitude reflect leadership, Captain.

First off congrats to Powell on a great season despite losing a ton of talent from last year and navigating a tough schedule along with injuries, still making it to the 3rd round.

As long as Lowe is there, they will always be in the mix and from the looks of it will have a ton of talent coming back next year.

As for my Rebels very proud of how they played and it seems like they are playing their most complete ball at the perfect time. Tonight was the first night since the Halls game where West turned the ball over which ultimately stopped drives deep in Powell territory and hopefully wont be an issue next week.

West defense is on another level right now and that is due to all of their starters healthy for the first time together all season. They really were physical all night and both teams are probably feeling those hits this morning. Hope #2 for Powell is ok I was worried about him when he was face down after a hit, but saw he came back out there but just didn't look the same. Hes a warrior for sure and will be even better next year!

Offense running tempo needs to continue for them to be successful as I feel when they go slow it takes them out of their rhythm...something to focus on next week, but loved the balance attack and the huge catch by #9 for West and td run before halftime was a backbreaker. 

Glad to still be playing and looking forward to a heck of a game against Walker Valley next Friday. Happy Thanksgiving and Holidays to Nut and H also.

Go Rebels!

pretty sure he's playing hurt.  Also, that's being awfully hard on a high school kid.  and I'm not even a powell fan.

Learned this morning that the officials were from the Tri-Cities.  

They are still trying to figure out the illegal participation behind the line of scrimmage thing.  

Should have gone up to John Tarleton and gotten officials for that one.  Most of those guys are more with it than that crew was.

I think that's a little harsh, BT. That said, I do think he's a talker, and I'm not a fan of that. His mom came over to the sidelines after he got tossed last night and was laying into him (or at least she appeared to be). Hopefully he'll get his mind right and come back even more focused in 2024.

Fwiw, my wife had him as a student years ago. He was a good kid, good parents, very athletic with a pedigree (his granddad played basketball at Iowa State), and he excelled academically (still does). Haven't talked to him in years, but I'd love to see a bit more humility on the field.

Boy that took awhile to "work out", didn't it? That was one of the strangest things I've seen in a high school game.

Yes I was wondering if that was his mom that was talking to him at the fence it showed on packer vision it always gets heated when these 2 teams play and I do agree the refs seemed confused don't know if I've ever seen a 10 minute delay when trying to figure out a penalty when there wasn't an ejection

Powell has always talked a lot.  I'd say that's a culture piece.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
