Let's get it started. Good win for DB against a tough TN High team. Here Kitty Kitty! Bring your trains Ridgers, the tracks stop in KPT.

 

Let's see how OR does against Clinton, probably pretty even week 1 opponents for DB and OR. After tomorrow night we should have a better idea of what to expect.

 

RTR!

Good win for DB tonight. OR is a on a totally different level than TN High though. DB's defense will have to bring it's A game. Several really good players for the Wildcats. Isn't that who Tee Higgins plays for? He's one of the top prospects in the state for the class of 2017 and is being recruited hard by the likes of USC, UT, FSU, Clemson etc. And the kid they have that signed with ASU is Darel Middleton. It will be interesting to see how the DB defense tries to stop these guys.

Always good to start with a win.OR should bring something a lot closer to what DB will see in the playoffs past the first round.Very athletic and talented team from everything I've read.

You say "what DB WILL see in the playoffs".

 

DB used to be pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. Somebody with a better understanding than I, explain it to me.

 

Aren't DB, William Blount, Harden Valley, Maryville, Bradley Central, Bearden, Jeff Co, & Science Hill competing for 2 spots in the 6A playoff bracket? If true, that is a lot different for DB and Science Hill. Really it means that 7 schools are competing for the #2 spot in region 1 since it is a given that Maryville will take #1.

 

So unless I don't understand the new brackets, DB getting into the playoffs will be much less likely.

Everyone in 6A gets a spot in the playoffs

Not a joke,every one of the 32 teams gets into the playoffs.What every one of the region 1 teams needs to do is try to finish high so they don't run into a powerhouse region 2 team in the first round.The 2ed round is going to really separate the good teams from the rest 

Assuming Maryville finishes 1st in Region 1, the way I understand the new format, on Maryville's side of the bracket: Region 2 - 1st meets Region 1 - 8th, etc. All the Region 1 "odds" are on Maryville's side of the bracket. So if you are DB or SH, if you can't finish 2nd in Region 1, you might want to finish 4th.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
