Hello from Rhea County! We are looking forward to you all coming over the mountains. We are coming off of a 42-6 win over Knox Carter. Carter is not that good, so I’m expecting a better match-up this week. We are a 5A school (1100-1500 enrollment class). Rhea County is in between Knoxville and Chattanooga. It is not a bad drive I stay in Waynesville every other year when UTC plays Western. We are home to some of the best bass fishing in the United States on Lake Chickamauga. There is plenty of places to stay and eat in Dayton. Most likely you’ll come through Spring City, once you are there the high school is about 10-15 mins away it will be on the right if you come in from highway 27 south. You won’t miss it not much else is around the high school except for a gas station and post office. If you come early enjoy some tailgating or one of the restaurants down in Dayton. We have a very large stadium with field turf field, it’s nestled at the foot of the Cumberland Plateau.
From what I’ve read and seen Tuscola is very similar to us. We are a Double Wing offense we usually have two 1000 yard rushers each season. Our defense runs a 3-4 scheme. We have a new DC this year so I’m curious to see how he does against a team like Tuscola.
