  1. You are so right Shag about # 4. He will always find a way when there is not a way! The QB looks like he has gone back to the first few games of last season and getting after him would be my strategy also. Siegel's defense is soft to though, so i say Blackman wins 28-14! How long will it take for Coach Shadowens to pull the senior QB for the backup?

    Region 5

    I don't know this for 100% sure, so someone please confirm, who is wrestling at 145 for Blackman in the regions? is it sells or heath? and you are probably right on birdwell, is the for sure the guy to beat. but i do think Nell has a GREAT chance to beat shatterfield and i do think that Patton has a GREAT chance to beat soloman at 152lbs. @HSDAD, i don't know enough of the wrestlers to comment on all 14 weight classes, you are probably WAY more up to speed than i am (no sarcasm here at all)but I don't think ALL freshmen deal with the nerve thing at regions. When you have over 30 wins as a freshmen, you are not really a freshmen in terms of experience and dealing with big matches!

    the ref said that it was because while the blackman guy was on his back locked in a cradle, he hit the mt. juliet guy in the face with his elbow. What this looked like to us was simply a kid who got locked up in a cradle and was rocking and flaling (spelling???) to get out. Maybe the back of the kids arm did hit the guy, maybe it did not, but for sure there was NO flagrant misconduct call. Flagrant misconduct calls are to be reserved for the obvious misconduct because once you make the call, it is game over for the wrestler and a 9 point swing for the team in the match. a ref does not pull this trigger easily, he does not make this call when it is not black and white, he does not make this call when there is judgement left, and in 15 seconds there was not even time for a verbal warning. The ref, i found out his name is kyle, made it about him simply because he made this call with 0.6 seconds left and there was no need to make it. the foul was not flagrant if at all, the mt. juliet kid was not hurt nor had a bloody nose nor even complaining, he had no reason to go all the way in a match that mt. juliet was going to win by 6 or 7 points, but he did, which cost blackman the whole match, cost the wrestler the season, and this ref was not thinking about the kid, and it's always about the kid. the call was just so uncecessary and was a normal attempt by a kid to fight off his back while in a cradle that we have all seen a 1000 times. i hope this helps, it is not easy to desribe all that happened in words. and, i am a guy who NEVER has posted about the ref's on coachT, i usually just take there call for what it is and move on, but this one was terribe and it cost both the team and the wrestler ALOT!

    The Ref in the blackman match completly blew this call! I was working the door and things were slow so i watched this match that was on the mat close to the front doors. i was actually pretty close,2nd row, while watching and with like 12 seconds in the match the blackman kid got put in a cradle and began to rock back and forth trying to get out. with 0.6 seconds on the clock, the ref stops the match, calls a flagrant foul. this guy totally missed it. It cost blackman the match with a 9 point swing and the wrestler the season. This ref made it about him. The crowd and even the Mt. Juliet fans agreed as i talked to them. The worst call i have ever seen at a high school wrestling match!

    I think Nell from Blackman challenges Shatterfield. they split during the regular season. I would not be surprised it Sells from blackman challenges for 145. I heard he is just a freshman and dropped down for regions! And, I think another freshman,the Patton kid, takes Solomon from Eagleville! Solomon beat him by 2 points early in the season but he has REALLY matured and come on strong with over 30 wins and a 4th place finish at Brentwood.
  6. Jeremiah Bryson-Smyrna-RB-CB Deon Meadows-Smyrna-LB Jess Patton-Blackman-LB/TE Hunter Thompson-Blackman-LB Buddy Mitchell-Oakland-CB Tre Fletcher-Oakland-OL Bryson McCluskey-Riverdale-OL Jaiari Dunaway-Siegel-LB These 8 young men are great reps from 7AAA!
  7. I will do some research this week and get back to you with the facts you ask for! Many, many people on Coach T have tried to tell you and other riverdale fans that the first two games would be blow outs for you, but you argued that this was not the case. So, I am doubtful the facts that i find that will support that Oakridge is yet another cupcake for Riverdale, will really make you admit that they are. Sometimes it is what it is! And what it has been and will be for Riverdale is 3 wins by 30 to 40 points. This is not Riverdale's fault or problem. You are just doing what the TSSAA asked you to do. What is difficult is the response by the Riverdale posters not accepting and admitting that there first three games are weak opponents. The past history of Oak Ridge has nothing to do with 2010!
  8. Yes you asked a question, but you also inferred that you could stop Itavious Mathers and more that one person said you could not, but you argued that you could. That is why i think he asked you the question about it working or not. If you knew football you would have known that your defense could not stop the Mr. Football of Tennessee. Your defense was too small and slow to stop a great running back like Mathers. You should have done more scouting of the opponent and mor looking at what you really have to play with on your defense, and if you had you would not even have asked the question. You might have instead made a statement that said Mathers will certainly get his. He is too good not to, and we must be able to play great with no turnovers and be able to move the ball on Blackman in the air and then maybe we would have had a chance.
  9. I'm sorry i am late posting on this game. I had to work most of the day and just got home. I have very little to say that has not already been said. Blackman is a GREAT TEAM. Offense, Defense, special Teams! Itavious Mathers continues to dominate even though Franklin lined up with 9 men in the box! The blocking is incredible! The Blackman Linebackers are the best i have seen on a team ever! There Defensive Line just owned Franklin. I felt sorry for the Quarterback! I was really surprised how small and slow Franklin was. I am not trying to be dis-respectful at all, I just expected a much different looking team. I was expecting a team that looked more like Brentwood and they were very big and very athletic. This game was over from the first whistle. I thought we were playing Lincoln County or Station Camp. This district really is the best overall district in the State of Tennessee. Others may have a great team, but we have GREAT TEAMS!
  10. I have been to 6 of the 11 Blackman games this season, so i will attempt to give you my opinion of Blackman's team. Take it for what it's worth and if someone else can add a few things, please do! 1. Mathers is at another level compared to any running back you have seen this year. He is only a junior and all of us will get to watch him on Saturday's at a big time football program. But it sounds as if you already knew this. 2. Blackman has two inside Linebackers that will also play on Saturday's at Division 1-A or Division 1-AA schools. I have heard several say they may be the best Linebacking pair in the whole state. Both are big,fast, and come to play every down. Running the ball right at them is nearly impossible and they have the speed to get to the running back from sideline to sideline. 3. Defensive Line: At my first Blackman game, i read the program and saw that all 4 of these players are seniors and they play like it. One of the many reasons Blackman's Linebackers are so good is because these 4 control the line of scrimmage and can cause havock. #34 and # 42 make big play after big play on the outside of the line and # 58 and # 55 are very tough on the inside. 4. There outside linebackers are very good too. # 21 and # 10 compliment so well the inside guys. These two will both hit you and play the pass well. # 21 has a nose for the ball as he has many interceptions. 5. Secondary: even though they are very much improved, this would be in my opinion a weakness of the defense. At times they play great and at times they don't. But they were getting better until the riverdale game! 6. Offensive Line: They are not overly big at all, but from the production of Mathers they should be considered a strength. I have noticed that they are what i would call fiesty and hardly miss assignments. In the last couple of games i've been too i have noticed that they are playing 3 tightends at times. # 25, # 44, # 42 and all of them block well. 7. Fullback: is the defensive end # 34 that i mentioned above. He is a force to be dealt with as a blocker and when they call his number as a runner. He may be the most un-heralded player on the team at his fulback position as most fulbacks are, but he paves the way for many of mather's runs, over and over. 8. Quarterback: I did see the smyrna game and he did not play well, but since then i think he has improved vastly. I was also at the Oakland game and i think his performance at the end must have given him some confidence because he has played steady and has completed the passes that he needed to-to open up things for Mathers. I can't remember if he is a junior or senior. Overall, Blackman is very solid and they play hard every down. They are beatable but it will not be easy. I would agree with what i read in the paper last week, "They are hot right now". Let's hope it stays that way! I hope this helps!
  11. I meant not before the game, but after it was played and this is very appropriate, up to a point. Meaning, "i told you we could beat them", "i told you we had a chance", etc. This is what CoachT is for! And you were right! So please enjoy the moment, but most would have picked oakland over franklin for very solid reasons! Oakland is sort of like the Dallas Cowboys. The should be in the running for the championship, but they are not. It is not a result of talent or coaching or anything else. That was my point! If you will check my past posts out, I am mainly a Blackman fan that has become more of a Blackman fan over the last 4 or 5 years since i began to go to games at Blackman when i am not traveling. Typing is not the best venue for communication because it gives so many opportunities to mis-communicate, so no offense taken!
  12. Sir, YOU cannot read! There were no excuses in my post and i was talking to the Oakland fans, not the Franklin fans! Yes we all know Franklin beat Oakland fair and square. That is a fact. We don't need to hear that again. Personally, i am glad they beat Oakland because i am a Blackman fan and i think we'll have an easier (notice sir i did not say easy) time beating you than we would have Oakland if they would have been the team we played in game 8. The whole reason i posted was to say something else is wrong over at Oakland because it is not talent, size, numbers, speed, coaching, etc. One of the most talented teams in the state who most thought would win it all, got knocked out the first round and lost the last 3 our of 4 games! MATTER OF FACT, MY POST WAS NOT EVEN ABOUT FRANKLIN VS OAKLAND! You were simply the ones to put the dagger in them for the last time. FYI: YOU GOT IT RIGHT THAT FRANKLIN WOULD BE OAKLAND. WE ALL KNOW THAT. YOU HAVE TOLD US MULTIPLE TIMES LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. SO, NOW BE HUMBLE AND HUSH!
  13. The 2010 Oakland Patriot's have more talent, speed, size, than Franklin. In my opinion and i think most people's, they have better coaching in the X's n O's. Oakland should have won this game hands down. The Reason Oakland is still not in the playoffs and chasing a state title is not because of talent and coaching, it is because of ________________________________________________________________! I have my own thoughts, but someone has to be honest on here and fill in the blanks without making it personal on the young men that play! This team had it all, talent, size, speed, experience (40 SENIORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!), confidence (had won state title in 08), coaching, facilites, resources, fan following. OOOOOH how the might have fallen to lose the last 3 out of the 4 games of the season.
