Congratulations to the Union City Golden Tornado and their 1st 2A state championship. They are not very exciting to watch but what they do is run the ball and beat you up front and they do it to perfection. Those kids were written off after Mayfield and especially after Adamsville. But I have been around several of these kids and coached a few of them( in recreation baseball ) their mentality is never top till horn sounds. Great job young men and Coaching Staff..

They weren't written off by anyone that really knows what they are all about.

I am just telling several people had them losing to Peabody. Their defense came together and starting playing good football when it counted. Like I said I have known several of these young men and they have a lot of heart and fight in them. But the truth is a lot of people were shocked to see them get this far. I didn't say I was one of them.

Hard game to watch but got exciting at the end, wouldn,t be much fun playing for UC. I'd rather play horse shoes . lol. 30 was a BEAST but Ithink it would have worked with 21 as well. 21 was a monster on d.

Yeah he had over 800 yards rushing on the season and at least one 200+ rushing night filling in for Trey Jones #30...

The defense is what had everyone questioning if they could go all the way...The loss to Mayfield, not the loss but the way we lost and the Adamsville game...You can't give up 54 points in a game, in regulation,and be thrilled about your chances of winning a Gold Ball...They really tightened their chinstraps the last three games though...

Our defense has been a work in progress all season. Ugly at first but got prettier as the season progressed. Not a 10 maybe a 7 or 8, but it put a Gold Ball in the case.

    • Understand the young thing.  I was one of those.  Barely 17 when I graduated from high school and started college.  But redshirting for athletic purposes isn't doing them any favors, in my opinion.  Life isn't always going to be fair.

    • The Girls Basketball team I am a part of played for a gold ball this season. One of the biggest differences in the sports is that there is no field prep/maintenance in basketball.   Our baseball is successful and play 30 games in the regular season as well. All of the teams dedicate A LOT of time in preparing for their next opponent. 
    • Im pretty excited about the new rules that NFHS voted to adopt. Does anyone know if this will take place in Tennessee starting this year? I think I heard/read somewhere that the TSSAA bi-laws say they have to mirror what the NFHS does, and when the NFHS offered the current weight classes as options, TSSAA didn’t adopt them until NFHS made them official. Did NFHS make these changes official starting next season or will it be similar to the weight classes where TSSAA doesn’t change what they are doing until it is  an officially official part of the NFHS rule book? It’ll be interesting to see if it is rolled out for the new TSSAA Middle School season and I saw a post where the youth wrestling in TN was going to vote on adopting it as well.  I’ll pray for all the youth coaches that will have to shoulder the confusion from all those crazy #### parents who already think they know the rules more than everyone else  . Imagine the first time their kid is taken down and a 3 goes up on the scoreboard or their kid gets pinned with only one point of contact in the cylinder. Their heads might explode. i kid, I kid. Sort of. I’m surprised ride time was brought down with all the other changes. I know some argue that it promotes stalling on top, but its been an official scoring method in college forever, so I figure it must be doing something right. Do any of you think that’ll ever be implemented?
