Talent doesn't always win games. Coaching, match ups, the way the ball bounces etc. It is a stupid argument to say Central would have "wipe the floor" with any team in the district.

Now, if you hate Powell and want to just argue that is fine. But it doesn't matter what happened in '04/'05. This is a discussion about now. Same for the Vols, we could say the 08 team would have killed Kentucky. But you know what, Kentucky has the bragging rights this year.

Having said all of this, I don't know what is going to happen with Powell. They lost a ton of talent from last year's squad and they will have a new head coach. They have a lot of talent returning - but they WILL NOT be near the team they were last year. Central has a long way to go to catch up to Powell based on what I saw this year.

While I agree with some points you make, understand this. Central is on the rise. I bragg about the incomming Freshmen so much cause ive watched these kids for years(and my little cousin is one of them) and I know what their capable of. In 2 years, if not next year, Central will be back to 7-8 wins. And im not saying that these Freshmen will be instant contributors, but the talent over there is nuts! Remember this name: Jeremiah Howard, Running Back

No Central team has been eqaul to that Powell team. Maybe the Central teams with Helton back in The 90's, those were BA teams. But I can see now with what I'm dealing with, get back to your X-Box and pizza.

all I needed to hear right there. Making excuses for a team that couldn't get it done when it mattered. I'll get you some preparation H for your rear end. Maybe then you could lend whatever's left over to Powell so they can use it to polish their shiny SILVER ball

Nobody even remembers the 04 Central team except you little homers. Go ahead and live in your little world. Central. Lol... How bad did Powell whip Central "again" year? Centrals old, nasty,gangland, hood-rats. Powell is the new area, large developments,nice big home subdivisions, a mini West Knoxville w/o the west Knox prick attitude. Things ain't changing anytime soon!

Guess where Knox County re-zoned a lot of the hood or lower class areas previously zoned for Central High? Take a wild guess on the major factor of why Powell got good so quick. Probably a result of all those 3/4 vinyl siding subdivisions that populate much of "West Knoxville without the attitude.....or class or nice homes or good schools".

I'd live in Fountain City before I'd live in Powell. Powell is trashy and red as hell.

Yea it got rezoned, but it's still not considered "Powell". We just get that area's athletes now. And there's nothing nice in F.City besides a few real nice subdivisions off Tazewell Pike. Powell has a dozen new subdivisions like those, plus another dozen of your 3/4 vinyl siding subdivisions as you put it. Not putting down other areas but Powell has been growing for years now and it's just more populated with all the growth. Plus the rezoning doesn't hurt either. We"ll take a view hood-rats if they can play ball and fit in with the richer kids, that's been sent to camps and training since they were 8yrs old! Seems like the mix of the both is working pretty well!

Yes, you state the obvious that a portion of Central was re-zoned for Powell. It has definitely brought in some great talent. However, to assume that is the only reason for the improvement is flawed. If you look at last year's team, there were only a handful of re-zoned players that saw significant time. The rest were "home grown". Granted some of those players were significant, but of the 7 players that signed football scholarships, only 1 has not been part of the Powell Youth football program.

I think what is lost is a lot of the seniors played together in youth football and that particular youth team was really good. Combine that with some fresh talent and a program finally coming together and you see the results.

Not sure what part of Powell you've visited, but Powell is very nice. Like every rural community in Knoxville (or TN for that matter), there are pockets of not so nice areas. How you described Powell can apply to most communities in the Knoxville area - that definitely includes Fountain City.

235lbVol, How did we get off talking about subdivisions and rich kids? That dosent mean anything on a football field. The 04-05 Central Bobcats would beat any Powell team you could put out there. I'd Like to see one of powells little CB's try to stop Terrence Scott(Former Oregon player) or Try to catch David Gaston in the open field. and mobley? hahaha, Rob Longworth, Josh owens, AJ Nance any of which would break him in half. If there is any Powell fan on here who remembers these names, dont be in denial. You remember how good Central was when we had these guys. We usually only lost 2 games a year, both to Maryville. They had some teams that would also kill this Powell team everyone raves about

In the top ten of most asinine things ever said on Volnation. Quite an achievement on your part.

Oh and just cause you were 26-2 against terrible competition dont mean ****. Get ready for an ass beating when we come down to "the new West Knoxville". Oh and guy, you used LOL, thats real manly!

Guess your bobcats have a ways to go. They were never in it last night and they looked awful just like always. Guess you have your foot in your mouth now, LOL.

Kinda what I thought.

[BigO69]

Yea had Stintson not got hurt, we'd won. Didnt sniff the endzone in the 2nd half. I admit the coaches were outcoached, Rang did a good job. But, with Stintson we win. Oh and that #10, hes a freshman. Good luck stoppn that in 2 yrs.

But he did get hurt, and they did lose. As for the Zero points in the second half....how's bout the zero points for the entire game Central put up?

Oh please, I figured you would say that. When he was in the game, they still didn't score.

I will say the RB's looked good and should be exciting the next couple of years.

[BigO69]

Lets see if you can win 2 times shall we? If our coaches had a clue, we'd win. But im sure instead of going 5 wide and pick Powell apart, we'll try to run 40 times with ine guy again. Oh and maybe Powell will score in the second half this time. GO BOBCATS!

You're obviously a UT fan. I'll bet you think Dooley is the man too. The moral victory you are celebrating gave it away. First it was that your RB got hurt. Now the coaches ran too much. Bottom line is, you got shutout in a rivalry game. And to be honest, it was a physical beat down. I was there and I'll be there if they meet in the playoffs.
