All I meant Watson was that based on what I have heard and know...Region 2 has the better teams this season. And trust me, I am not the only one predicting a Region 2 sweep in the first round.

 

I do appreciate you letting me know they do play the game on the field...I had no idea.

Unaka has a very talented football team, lacking only a couple more experienced linemen. It was no surprise to see them struggle at Jellico early on due to the big loss to Cloudland the week before. The Highlanders and Rangers are very capable of winning, no matter the reputation of Region Two. Cloudland has handled Region 2, and others for several years now; and this Cloudland team, though not comparable to the team that suffered the HUGE upset last year, is very physical and playoff capable.

 

Unaka has more skill-position capabilty than Cloudland, but will struggle if their line doesn't play much better than they have the past few games.

 

*Ranger quarterback, John Zimmerman must play to his capability; if so Unaka can compete with any of the Region Two teams.

 

Last season the Rangers played a very aggressive Midway team. They were down 14-7 with barely four minutes to go before half-time. A roughing the punter call, a fumble, just before the half, and a busted assignment in the opening third quarter drive left the injury-plagued Rangers down by four touchdowns; and with five starters unable to play, and several others hobbled, Unaka was simply un-competitive.

 

These top two Region One teams should not be taken lightly. To do so will result in losses by the three and four Region Two teams.

    • This scenario resonates with the dynamics observed in my hometown of Hartsville. The undue influence of politics on high school sports remains a pervasive issue, detracting from the integrity of athletic programs.  The proliferation of individuals driven by a thirst for power inevitably precipitates the downfall of any program. It appears that we are currently grappling with similar challenges akin to those faced by Greenback. Please accept my condolences for your ordeal.
    • From what we are hearing on the reservation we will be lucky to beat sunbright. And trust me I am not throwing stones at them because they play their hearts out. It’s a tuff game every year, just like Oakdale but when you have small numbers that’s what you get. And then you add in that you loose two top linemen and the starting qb!!!! Along with a running back!  We are in deep trouble. 
    • The coach's departure ensued due to the absence of backing from the board members, compounded by the unsettling revelation that one board member persistently surveilled him, verging on conduct akin to harassment. Furthermore, it appears that meeting the expectations of this community remains an unattainable feat, as even a hypothetical scenario of clinching five consecutive state championships would likely not suffice to quell discontent. The current situation is fraught with complications, primarily stemming from applicants for the position who have cultivated relationships with board members known to have opposed the former coach.
    • Yes it big when you only have 30 players last year and that is counting 8th graders it is huge!!!!!!! And this year they are starting a middle school team and the 8th graders will be on it. Until their season is over. That is a plus to having a K-12 school. The eighth graders can play on high school football. And yes we have used them a lot in the past few years. 
    • Was the Coach fired? I thought I had read here or somewhere that he had elected to leave himself and pretty sure some folks on here had already been eluding to his departure well in advance of him actually acknowledging it. Or did the principal can him and then in turn get canned him/herself for this action?  From the sounds of it, i don't know if this or the Clinton situation is more of a mess.
