BEST GAME TO GO SEE IN THE EAST

OR at DB should be a classic.

Cak vs. Greenback, every CAK game is exciting, and most of them are decided by 1 point.

Actually, I think just four of them, and they have played 12. That's 1/3 or 33.3%. So I think most of them have been decided by more points...

I would have to say without a doubt, go to the Maryville vs. Knox Central game. It might the best game in the state all year. I know the first one was a barn burner.

FULTON @ AE of course! The fight for title "PRIDE OF THE EAST SIDE!"

[happy_highlander]

I am going to say FULTON @ AUSTIN-EAST!

SP@BBS

 

An objective look based on the first game:

 

Going into the first match up this season everyone was expecting to see a big scoring shootout. However, both teams defensive units were in charge of the game. Cook over threw several wide open receivers during the game. He was on the run most of the time he was trying to throw. So, I guess you have to give some credit to the BBS defense. However, if Cook connects on just a small percentage of the missed opportunities the complexion of the entire game could have been different.

 

Lets talk scoring:

 

After a scoreless first quarter, BBS gets on the board first after recovering a fumbled punt around the SP 20. Just before the half SP intercepts an option pitch and is set up on the BBS 30. SP promptly throws a 30yd TD strike. SP then is wide on the PAT. Score 7 - 6 at the half and all the points coming when the opposing teams' turnover has set the offense up with a short field.

 

In the second half SP fumbles another punt inside the 10. BBS takes advantage and the score goes to 14 -6.

BBS gets a field goal after a short drive.

BBS scored its last TD on a 36 yard run. I think this was after SP went for it on forth down at mid field.

 

Other factors:

SP will need to control their emotions. SP was penalized 3 times for hitting Drew Akins late. 1 Late hit out of bounds, 1 roughing the passer and 1 late hit on a punt return.

 

Matt Peardon went out in the first half with a pulled muscle.

 

Weston Perry had punts that made SP start inside their own 10 at least twice. (It says something about both teams defense when the coach-t player of the game was the BBS punter)

 

The bottom line: If both teams had played with no turnovers, the game could have had to be decided in overtime.

 

If both teams come to play, this could be the best football game in Tennessee. If you live within a couple of hours of Chattanooga and you love high school football, you will likely not see a game any better than this game. It would be worth the drive.

SP @ Boyd

[football_36]

Yeah i gotta say Fulton @ AE.

[The Drunken Sailor]

If you are going to be in the upper east part of the state I would say Oak Ridge @ Dobbins-Bennett. If you are in the lower east I would say South Pittsburg @ Boyd. There are other good games to watch but these 2 should be awesome to watch.

folks it got to be Lincoln and River because lincoln is about to take over riverdale's spot as the powerhouse in 5a footaball. I know I will be in the PIT come friday.

umm... actually 5 out of 12 CAK games have been decided by one point. That is about 42%, which is quite a lot of thrilling games. (the last four IN-A-ROW CAK games: Coalfield, Onieda, Cloudland, Midway - plus Asheville School, NC)

 

Plus last time these two same teams played it came down to an end of the fourth quarter touchdown by Greenback.

 

So if you want an unpredictable thriller come down to Greenback and receive a treat of a game.
