I had to privilege of seeing a spring practice just the other day over at Fulton.  I was very impressed with their skill players especially #1 the QB.  He looks better and better every time I see him.  #4 looks really good too and someone said he is only going to be a 10th grader.  Looks like they have changed some players positions too.   I saw some 30 and 40 numbers down with the lineman so maybe they will be alright there after all.  I don't get on here much anymore due to my health but since I was at Tennova the other day I got to watch.  Anyone else have any thoughts?

Their QB will give them a chance to win pretty much every time out.  He's pretty special.  

 

I never doubt Rob Black and that staff.  They will have a great shot winning that region and advancing deep in the playoff in their first year in 5A.  Fulton still has a ton of quality athletes.

HTV  .. if they do that this year they will have had done a heck of a coaching job for sure .. think they have a couple of soph or Jr OL and DL lineman  .. aside from that .. I think the rest of the OL and DL will come from 3rd and 4th string FB's or something like that ..I too saw some 30 and 40 numbers with the line at practice .. do agree they have some athletes at Qb, RB and WR and DB but just got NO linemen at all ... hope those backup FB's can be at least serviceable ... guess the Offense will be QB getting the ball out to playmakers ASAP

Talked to a man this morning and he had been told Fulton has lost another lineman to transfer.  Something about he has moved out west somewhere and now will have to sit out a year possibly. So they have moved more low numbers to high numbers I'm told.  With as much skills guys they have with Malone it won't do a bit of good without a line.  Hopefully some of these young men will buy into playing line and everything will work out.  This guy even said he wouldn't be surprised if Fulton had a losing record this year based on the line.  How does this happen to a school that just recently won 3 championships in a row, 6 in 10 years and 2 runner-ups?  I'm told the 8th grade team is stacked heavy with 8th graders that the high school needs though.  Thoughts?

Heard the same thing ... so the 2 guys that were coming back that were the 2 best and the 2 that had played at all are now at other schools .. the latest from mom's job being moved I heard and the other from a lineman who wants to play TE .. so that leaves 0 returning linemen with any experience ... honestly I have no idea if they will even have 5 linemen total ... like I said there may be some 170 pounders playing on the OL and DL ... never seen a team so void of OL and DL  .. have great skill guys but if you have noone to block then ??? Moving to 5A they will be playing a bunch of teams with 50- 80 players   .. I counted about 26 or 27 players on field  ..

What do you Fulton fans think about Central game 1st game of the season? I know AC plays Carter 1st game on TV Thursday but their QB left to go to Central. I here he is pretty good. Hopefully that will be the game of the week. It will be a good game to watch.

Not only did Central get a QB transfer in, but with him also came a solid WR and a LB.  

 

Central returns virtually everybody up front with the exception of Isaac Buell.  Obviously Buell was a big cog, but Central will still be very good and experienced up front.  I saw them scrimmage against Farragut, and even in a green "touch" jersey, the QB and RBs were able to do some solid work against a good Farragut team.  Central will be fine.  They are as well coached as anybody in Knox County.  

 

And that AC at Carter game was picked to showcase the new turf at Carter.

So I made it breakfast this morning, first time in a month and I hear the Carter coach is back with Fulton but they lost two coaches at the same time. One being a coordinator and another a position coach, both have been there for 6 plus years. That's tough on a team especially a team that is losing players too ( so I was told). I'm stuck in and out of a hospital room but I'll keep listening in. Strange what's going on for such a prestigious program.

Fulton took a blow last week losing its best wr for the season to an ACL/MCL tear... I think they will adjust tho due to the amount of talent at the skill positions... I am most worried about the small line we have this year... the jump to 5A will be even tougher... I believe Fulton will do fine this year but it's hard for me to see a state title just yet... I hope some of those lineman prove to be effective regardless of the size...

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
