Happy Friday!!!!!!!!!! The Division 2 Games were played yesterday at Finley Stadium in Chattanooga! Here are the summaries of the games: In Class A: Middle Tennessee Christian School of Murfreesboro defeated Friendship Christian of Lebanon 28-13. MTCS and it's single wing were just too much for FCS to overcome, Eli Wilson lead the Cougars with 17 carries for 190 yards and a touchdown and had 9 tackles on defense. FCA was lead by Tyson Wolcott who ran for 225 yards on 30 carries and both Commander touchdowns he also had 11 tackles on defense. It is MTCS's first championship in any team sport!

In Class 3A: The stars were shining bright for both teams in the "Battle of Chattanooga" This game featured a whopping 14 players with Division 1 football offers plus numerous other scholarship offers for baseball, track, lacrosse and basketball! The game was a track meet early but settled down in the second quarter and in the end McCallie's team beat Baylor's star power 34-28. McCallie was lead by QB Jay St-Helaire (Vandy commit) who was 22-28 for 309 yards and 4 TD's including one to TE Carson Gentle ( Tennessee commit) that was a thing of beauty.

It was McCallie's third title in 4 years an 5th overall.

If you want to honor Powell Valley and Appalachia do some throw back uniforms, the kids and especially the parents and grandparents would love it and so would the uniform supplier.

That would be a logistical nightmare! No parking, no seating, restrooms, concessions, no grass hardly. if you want to play at Riggs sponsor a jamboree there during the preseason and call it even!

Good Luck to Greeneville and if you need something to do and live in the Tri-Cities are make the short drive to Greeneville and catch the game!

Football more than any sport is cyclical: teams go through bad cycles, even the best go through bad times and dynasties crumble back to reality. Lack of talent can't help a good coach and good talent can't overcome bad coaching! If you have no talent and bad coaching you get a total disaster! The wrong coach at the wrong time can set a program back years and in the instant gratification society we live in people aren't willing to basically push the reset button and try to good again in 5 years, but that is where this situation seems to at Richlands the school board, administration, boosters, fans and players need to take the 50,000 foot view and see the big picture or this cycle will never stop.. Like I posted above this situation is what happened at Gate City and Graham years ago! You can rebuild it but will everyone take the time and do it or will it mire in football purgatory for the next 10 years! Choose wisely my friends, Choose wisely!

No nerve struck with me and my son didn't play at DB!

Under! I will take both teams at 175 though! Gonna be a rainy night in Bluefield looks like!
