William Blount Bye Week

This bye week couldn't have come at a better time because the Govs have dropped 2 straight games and are a little banged up right now. This will be a great time for the team to rest, get some guys healed up, and regroup. The Govs are sitting at 2-3 right now, but the team is definitely improved over last season. Last season, the defense couldn't stop the most inept of offenses, but last night they held a very athletic Bearden team to 14 points through 4 qtrs despite the fact that Bearden had great field position all night. The offense has been disappointing for the most part, but anyone who has seen this team knows they have the potential to score a lot of points. If the Govs can continue to improve on defense and get their offense back on track they'll be in great shape. 

The good news is the Govs are 1-1 in region play, and the next two region games are very winnable. But the first order of business is to forget the last 2 losses, get back to work on Monday, and most importantly get/stay healthy. I have faith in the Govs. #LOP

As someone in Murfreesboro who was bored and watched your game last night, I have to admit, the refs up there SUCK! I have never seen such blatant disregard for a team in my life! I hope the team enjoys and relaxes during their bye week. Unreal! If I were Shad, I'd be doing nothing this week but filing a complaint with whoever it needs to be filed with!

Great time to rest and catch up on injuries and focus on the second half of the season for the Govs. The other night I personally figured Bearden would win but I was glad to know it had to go into overtime to do it so that means WB is just as good.  Good luck with Jefferson County in two weeks, should be a good ballgame to see.

History favors the Govs in the matchup at Jefferson Co. Going back to 2009 when these two teams started playing every year, the visiting team has won 5 of the 7 games. Both teams have only won one at home in the series. WB won at home in 2009 and Jeff Co won at home in 2012, but other than that the visiting team always wins.

    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
    • Could not agree more. After this year, McKenzie's new coach will have their work cut out for them. Staying in 1A would definitely be a huge plus. Most years there is not much difference in the top 5- 1A and 2A teams across the state, but after the top 5 or so there is normally a huge drop off for 1A. Regular season region play is a lot easier for 1A in West TN  right now.
