Maryville didn't think so. You think Rhea isn't? Undeafeated and just whipped two undefeated powerhouses in Ooltewah and Oak Ridge. Rhea will destroy West.

Destroy West? That didn't work out real well did it? Welcome to the real world.

The refs made some bad calls, keeping Rhea in the game.

4th and 13 rhea county 556 to go. Pass interference on West. 1st down Rhea. Good call he was pulling the jersey and the player away from the ball. Naturally Mark Packer says otherwise

West is ranked the number 1 team in the state in 5a for a reason. They are the only team to hang with Maryville all year. I watched the game and it was closer than the score indicated. West had a second half lead. West runs a vert unigue offense thats hard to stop. Ive also seen the Rhea Co. Oak Ridge Game. In my honest opinion i would say something like 35-21 West. Rhea has seen no speed like west has with a RB in Cotterel that runs sub 4.4 and another RB that runs sub 4.5 and both have unbelievable power. I give Rhea credit i didnt see them betting Ootewlah or Oak Ridge but they did. If this game was in Knoxville its West by 21. They are a top team in Knox County Area with only Fulton and Maryville better.

West has an amazing team. Rhea was outmatched. I have no problem admitting that. It was sheer grit and determination that made this a game and almost pulled it out for Rhea.

However, what the heck game were you watching? That was hands down the worst officiated playoff game I've ever seen. I've seen worse regular season games, but this was supposed to be the best officials from the state. They were clueless half the time and heavily favored West most of the other times.

Constant holding by West's oline and WR's against the Rhea edge players. Two pass interference calls against Rhea that kept drives alive but weren't even close. One was way short and uncatchable, the other was a perfectly timed hit just after the ball arrived.

But the worst part was the constant mis-spotting of the ball. West was routinely given 2 extra yards of forward progress. Can't wait to watch the replay on video because it was the most obvious job of pushing the ball down the field by the refs that I've ever seen. The side judge on the home side was the perpetrator. The other side mostly did a good job. I lost count of the number of times the down marker marked the spot (not official, I know, but they know what they're doing) and had to move two yards further upfield. It was a freaking joke.

Good luck to West in Cookeville. Their team is special.
