Ok let's face it the Dollywood express has lost the DDDs. My computer has also ran out of purple ink so it's not the end of days in Sevierville just a changing of the guard. This team will be young in the skill positions but not without talent. Sophomores at qb,tb, and multiple wrs are going to have to grow up fast as in week 1! That will be tough but I think the offensive coaching staff will have them as ready as possible. Defensively they have about 6 starters returning and should be ahead of the offense early on and I think they can be pretty good on that side right away so hopefully they can keep it close while the young o finds its way.Tough early season schedule will help in the long run but a rough start as far as wins is a real possibility. Luckily the region is not strong so a decent region record could still get some home playoff games and a shot at the 3rd round of playoffs which would be as good as one could hope for this year. I don't think a region championship is out of the question but I think it could be wide open in 1 5A. This team will be good by the end of the season and that's when it counts. The main problem this years team will have is lack of seniors you need old guys to win and this team will be almost all sophomores and juniors. I think only about 4-6 seniors in the starting 22. Also no real star power just a typical well coached Smoky Bears squad that can win any night is what I expect and hope to see. Record could be anywhere from 7-4, 8-4 to 5-6, 6-5 depending on how well they develope and what kind of luck they have along the way. Spring practice coming up so hopefully some surprises as well. I'm hearing some transfer rumors maybe they will add some star power!

 

GoBears!!

    • Why would the tax payers be responsible for paying for only a coach? In recent years with all the theft from various programs in schools from different programs with booster clubs (not just sports) the State of TN has made alot of rules surrounding booster clubs and how they handle money.  I have two documents to review, 1 is 40 pages from the state comptroller and the other is 37 pages from my district, so I can consider starting a booster club for my middle school program. It has been too much trouble in the past for the other coaches.  There is no way there needs to be an adult in the school building for 7 hours a day with no responsibilities except coaching. 
    • The only thing that was said at half time of the 45-0 game was Coach Story, he said: "I know y'all have been out there a lot, but kick-off team, y'all need to get down there faster!" Then he and the other coaches proceeded to go into the coaches office and we all went nuts!  It was the only time I can ever remember coaches not saying anything at half time. Definitely a great memory!!!
    • Boyd could actually be a grade below what he is now, but his parents didn't see the need to "redshirt" him like the other city school down the road would have pushed for....
