Riverside vs ER State Championship Showdown

Recommended Posts

Atlee Pond had 5+ D1 kids on his roster and didn’t make it past the first round. Coach Brooks is obviously a good coach only in his second year. It’s not entirely his fault the team is undisciplined it reflects and the parents and the rest of the people who have had these kids their whole life. He also can’t help they came from a weak region this year. He might have scheduled some weak competition, but he knows that 1 injury and the season is derailed , so can you blame him? He will have the team prepared for Riverside and will shock everyone. 

ER 28-14

What 5+ players were D1 that played at the same time under Pond? Are you counting Taylor Groves and couple of these kids as freshman?

He had Taylor Groves, Drake Alsup, Shaun Groves, Zech Prince, and Cam Swift. 4/5 played D1 and Swift was supposed to until an ACL injury. Under Pond Prince had 700 yards under Brooks he had 2000

All I say is this because I dont want to bash players or change this thread too bad. But none of those guys have ever got any playing time (maybe a scrap time play) and half of em are on practice squads at FCS. Compared to 5 kids with actual SEC offers who will probably get serious reps at FCS schools or higher. And for Prince he got better no doubt lots of ppl do when you grow 3 inches and put on 15 lbs of muscle as a senior.

ER’s road end next week. They got ran over by a middle school team in the forth quarter last night and almost got beat. 
 

The riverside running back is more physical than groves and groves is a bit more elusive. The offense running groves over and over won’t work against Riverside. Fairly was overall better and faster than ER. 
 I’m curious if riverside is going to pound ER. If they do riverside wins

    • You didn't spell Greeneville and Elizabethton correctly in your sentence.  4A has the best teams in Upper East TN.  Carter County All-Stars and Greene County All-Stars is the Superbowl now.
    • Yeah, but if he goes to Science Hill they are guaranteed at least a win over Kingsport and that's basically the NET Superbowl
    • I expect Sevier County might be pretty good, perhaps Mo West as well.     But I don't see either of them getting out of round 2.          The rest of the region gets smoked in round 1.            Except for those once-in-a-blue-moon anomaly years the NET big schools are pretty much the same every season.
    • Wanted to see if all of you would lift up Kyle James family in prayer. Kyle was one of the best wrestlers to ever come out of Soddy Daisy and as some of you know he lost his house a few weeks ago and now his family and friends mourns his passing. Not sure if any of you were around in early 2000’s when Kyle was wrestling at Soddy, but he was a 3 time state champ and a Fargo AA along with going to Colorado to train to make the Olympic team. That goal was never reached due to medical issues, but he was an amazing wrestler and his family is as good as gold. If you were around at that time and have any pictures of Kyle, please go onto Alexy Winesburgh FB page and post. Thanks, Doug Benton
    • My opinion the 8 teams will be-  Greenback, Wartburg, Gordonsville, Jo Byrns, Eagleville, Bruceton, Dresden, and South Fulton. Gordonsviile is probably the favorite but I wont say it will be an easy road. With the right draw any of the 8 could win it.
