Just saying, Union City will be tough once again come late August 2015.  A host of Juniors that have been in two state finals and know how to win will help lead Union City through another successful season next year.  They will surprise several teams so do not count them out.  They will be hurting a little on the line but with new kids coming into the program, look for Union City to continue to have the bulls eye on their backs until they are beaten and done with.  But still enjoying this past GOLD ball and the Back to back seasons.  This past season will truly go down in the record books in single A and this team will be remembered by TOTAL dominance !

More new kids coming in to the program? Kids coming up from 8th grade or transfers?

Kids coming up and some former players who didn't come out their 10th or 11th grade year will be coming back as we understand.  There is also that "what if" someone moves to Union City for work or other reasons.  Added on who will step up from to be 10th and 11th graders will help support the team.  There will be NO WAY the Seniors from this years team will be replaced...they will go down as one of if not the greatest and most decorated group of kids in Union City Football History.  They have earned enough awards in two years that their necks are wrapped with tons of medals.  Should be interesting and fun.

A few 8th graders, a couple of kids that dropped out when they saw what was required of them but now have reconsidered, and 1 transfer who has been living in another state with a divorced parent that is moving back. Most new kids coming into our program are in for a rude awakening. We haven't been good because of big numbers but because of the dedication of the ones that are there. The biggest difference between the 2014 team and the  2015 team will be the size of the line. Average size of the line will drop from about 270 to about 240. Skill people won't drop very much. Coach Bowling has told his players that no one is going to fell sorry for them for the players that are leaving so work hard and get ready to keep the winning streak going.

Not at all worried about the size of the lineman...As long as they have good technique they will be fine...

Next years team could surprise us; we were no where in the conversation of winning a state championship in 2013 cause all the players we lost from a decent 2012 team. So with the dedication they had going into that season who says it cant happen again. The blowouts that we had were good for one thing and thats give the younger players experience and thats really going to help. The question will be who will be our signal caller. Cace got some experience there when Walton was sidelined; so will it be him or could someone give him some competition? Also who will step in at fullback?

Union City is the equivalent of Trousdale County at the 1A level. 3/5 years they will have a legitimate chance to win the gold ball.

At the skilled positions I'm most worried about replacing Henry at fullback. He carried the ball 25 to 35 times a game. Since we started every play by either giving him the ball or faking it to him, he got hit on every play. He played lb on defense and was on all kicking teams both punt and kickoff. Played the last 13 games without missing any time for injury. Probably the toughest kid I've ever seen play.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
