USA Today 2015 Tennessee All-Star Football Team

 

Selecting the players to get on these teams is a daunting task. Especially if your knowledge of the subject is limited to what you can find on the internet and a small amount of time to do research in order to get an article written and posted for your employer (USA Today). Not to mention that USA today does this for all 50 states. Throw in the fact that these people are making one big team with 1st team and 2nd team being comprised of football players from every class being combined into one team. After taking those things into consideration I think they did and pretty good job of it. I'm from Memphis so I am very familiar with the teams from the Memphis area ... but even then, I haven't seen every team from this area play because I attend the Whitehaven games. There are quite a few teams in my area that I only read about in the paper, or I've listened to the post-game high school football program on the radio after the games have been played on a Friday night,  or I watched them compete in the state championship game from watching it on the NFHS network, or something similar, or I've had conversations with others like me in the Memphis area who attend other games or know other folk who are fans or staff of other local teams.

 

I think that it is inevitable that some young man is going to get snubbed. It's just a numbers thing. I know a lot of you will look at the list and say, so and so should be a 1st team guy and yada, yada, yada. I even thought that Tee Higgins (Oak Ridge) and TD Blackmon (Maryville) should have been 1st team guys. But I don't know enough about the other guys that were listed on the first team in those guys positions to know which guy they should have left off or listed on the 2nd team in their stead.

 

Like I said, I think the writer did a bang up job considering the circumstances. It's not going to please everybody, but it is a decent stab at it.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
