As hard as it was to witness everything that happened after the game Friday night, I take comfort in knowing that Upperman’s biggest fan went from witnessing the greatest win in school history to witnessing the face of his savior. There is never a good time to lose someone we love but for Mr butler, what a wonderful thing to witness as the last image he ever saw. From one of his greatest nights to his greatest eternal reward. I could care less about all this other junk you all are taking about. In the game of life, none of it matters. Go win the gold ball for him Bees!

Death runs in all of our families. None of us are getting out of here alive. There’s only one way to heaven and it’s through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Last Friday night we talked before and after the game. This Friday he’s gone. Definitely puts life in perspective and what’s truly important.

Thats funny seeing that your school hired Josh Jones.

So we're in the 3rd round of the playoffs and you guys are talking about a glorified practice from 3 months ago? We're not talking about a game, we're talking about practice.....

I have tried to explain this exactly like this on here. Take a hard working, motivated kid from a small school that has some athleticism. Maybe he has ok coaching, limited workout options/facilities and few if any good partners to work with in the room. But he works hard and is dedicated. Take the same kid. Give him better coaching. Better facilities and a workout regimen. Give him several really good hammers to work with every practice for 2 or 3 years. Who wins? (Rhetorical) Point being, in aggregate all these things matter. Money, facilities, coaching, partners, school commitment etc. To me personally, what Halls did last year was much more impressive than anything Cleveland did. With respect, Halls developed their kids in house from scratch in a more austere environment. Cleveland is a great program, they have everything working for them and they should be on top. Their coaching, facilities, funding and support are as good as any in the state. They have no weak spots. When another team does more with less is what impresses me. Just my $.02

What the heck Southtowner? You let this red rebel feller beat you to creating a website for our game! In all seriousness though, I can't think of McKenzie and South Pittsburg without thinking of Lee Russell and Matt Blansett. May they rest in peace.

That’s a ridiculous post of the year nominee. Lol. Alco can’t even win the county!

the dudes just weird. might be special needs

Gotta give it up for MC. We did not come to play. We turned the ball over 5 times...can never beat anyone doing that especially MC. And trust me, they did not need the extra help we handed over to them. Good luck in 3rd round MC, hope you all go all the way this year.. good dang job man, thats all i can say!! Dawson better win that dang Mr. Football award!!

Now you’re changing the argument. We weren’t talking about administrators being head coaches. Administrators have professional teaching licenses that allow them to be head coaches. There is no written policy about admin not being allowed to coach, that’s an unspoken concept in central office. The argument that was originally stated was that board policy doesn’t allow for the hiring of non faculty coaches when a licensed person has interviews and is qualified. I imagine Brad Taylor could have a bone to pick about the Bearden opening in Dec 2021 due to failure to follow board policy.

So let’s think about this, this job just opened TWO days ago heck maybe not even. Hard to believe there are “front runners” yet considering it just opened up and No interviews have been conducted. Secondly, any idiot who thinks this isn’t a “wanted” job either doesn’t know much about HS football in Knoxville or is just in denial. Wether it’s in a downturn rn or not, Central is and will always be a premier job in Knox County public schools in Football. Let the debate carry on…

As do we. And we're playing for a State title Friday.

Groves. He has won me over. Teams know he's getting it. And York was trying to end his season. He still averages 4 to 7 a carry then breaks several a game. If you don't admire that I'm not sure why you watch football. https://www.coacht.com/boards/index.php?/topic/271412-er-vs-york-trip-to-chattanooga-on-the-line/&do=findComment&comment=4389470

Lol a coach pushed a kid from York to get him away from the scuffle when it was goin on. A scuffle that began because a York player gator rolled Isaiah Groves’s leg after the play was over. No kid was punched by a coach. Y’all gotta be some of the sorest losers I’ve ever seen. Y’all have gotten away with playing dirty all year and bullying the weaker teams in your region, and thought the same would happen last night. This time you ran into a team that was better than you and wasn’t about to let you get away with your tantrums. Go cheer on the basketball team. Have a coke and a smile

You mean hit out of bounds

They were disciplined until York wanted to turn it into a UFC fight.

He’d loose that too. Brooks a big man.

They got plenty to show 12 kids have signed scholarships to play college football for free the last two years! Thats great for a inner city school. Put that in your pipe and smoke it sir! Going to school for free is the goal for the kids by using football as a means to accomplish that goal.

Absolutely, war story. 1971 the Hill scrimmaged Summerville SC who was at Appy State summer camp. I hit the lead fullback in the hole and we drop. I felt so strange. Next play I made the tackle and went to the huddle. I hear laughing everywhere. To this day I hear a strong calm coach’s voice. You’re playing well but I’m going sub you anyway. 2 Summerville players walked me out of their huddle to my sideline. I was back a series later. We should be well beyond that in 2023.

HC coach is a good man, but he should be careful about what he says in regards to Southwind having out of zone players. A lot of people know that HC is supposed to be in 6A based off enrollment but is 5A due to some “adjustment” of numbers.

As "Southtowner" so accurately put it: "The Heartbeat of CoachT".

I figured it would have to be someone already on staff or from the community. (Maybe one of the complaining parent's) There isn't any coach worth their salt that would touch that dumpster fire after what happened

You have said some very ignorant and hateful comments about our players, coaches, admin, and fans. You have compared the principal to Hitler and the NK dictator. Nobody at 825 is the idiot in this situation, you've locked that up for yourself

I am not sure who is more annoying, you or the guy from Maryville who always posts using hillbilly language.

White the favorite. Ben Franklin should win. He was the MVP during his time.

After much needless debate and hours of stalling, the $15.8 million finally passes to be transferred to the school board. Glad for the kids and fans of these schools that had to endure this just to get the needed repairs done.

This was long overdue. The program has had no leadership the last 3 years and they barely had 40 kids on the sideline. A new voice was needed.

If they try that mess with this group that Riverside is bring to town, ER will leave with their tails whipped more than one way.

Alcoa The best football program in Tennessee history.

It’s 38-17 and Oakland had 3 TDS called back… that’s a thrashing

It makes a lot of sense actually, give the teams 1 or 2 games of your choosing and don't just give them free film by having games available on NFHS.

All football talk aside, Happy Thanksgiving to all! Football is secondary to family and friends!

Hey even if it's our last week, it has been a great season. Only 4 teams remain in 3A and Dburg is one of them. Who does this poster follow or have allegiance too? Trojans just go play the game, leave it on the field, and see what happens. Win or lose it's been a heck of a season.

Maybe i can get Marky Billison out of my Twitter timeline now. Asshat.

Now you don’t honestly want us to believe that the powers that be at Upperman have refused to get an automatic “W” all these years by playing Cookeville? Recently it would have been competitive I agree on that but overall Upperman would have a lopsided lead in wins over losses.

You telling him to grow up is funny, you and that Falcon are LC guys on a MHS/MCHS thread rubbing in a loss by a team you aren’t even remotely connected to.

If only Mt Juliet could’ve made it past those trash Memphis special teams they might’ve gotten some hardware in their trophy case.

Ok you must not know anything about SP. / #1. The big recruit is the slowest defender on our defense. #2. He isn’t a pass rusher #3. SP should be able to rush the passer all night. #4. Gordy beat Clay & Chatt Prep by a combined 2 points. (So unless Gordy purposely made these game close then I’m not quite sure how this game isn’t a multiple score win for SP.)

No. He is a moron with an Obamaphone. Nothing more.

The triple option is a thing of beauty! Purest form of football. Angels sing every time the dust settles after 3-4 yards.

Y'all are absolutely ridiculous. Lowe cares about his boys. If it is true that QB1 has a concussion and is not cleared by the team doc, then he will not be playing. Stop trying to make it like, Lowe will play him no matter what just to get a win.

Dang I for sure wasn't trying to start a fight lol, I don't know that region 2 A is necessarily down ,but south pitt is like alcoa move up lol, I mean a 1A school with 76 players, that come from all over 3 states and surrounding counties...should win.

My youngest son wrestled hunter last year in the sectional final and got killed of course lol but he said hunter is an absolute class act

ER has the better players. Coaching should be even. ER wins if they don't have 150 yards in penalties or tons of turnovers.

You should ask your doctor about finasteride

Could be the best game in the whole state this Friday

Some of the schools have bad coaching and have for years. I don’t see anything changing.

I still stand on my comment about UC and Dresden being on another level.

I implied it. I said it. I stand by it. The officiating in West TN is terrible. The officiating in the playoffs last year in Memphis was terrible. I know they are supposed to be from outside the area and/or neutral, but when you have a Middle TN team and West TN team, where do the officials come from? Jackson? The officiating there isn’t any better.
