I have debated a lot about whether or not to post about this call. I just watched it again and I cannot believe how bad it is. This level of officiating is unacceptable. Even if it would have been a first year ref I still would have trouble believing that due to the situation he blew his whistle at all and if you are going to call a foul how you could think that was a charge. I would simply like to ask him what he saw to make him call a charge. Also, if you continue watching till the end, on the last play the SG player was knocked to the floor and nothing was called. Why call one and not the other. I wish there was some kind of accountability.

I checked this topic just so I could congratulate the deserving players on the list from Greenback. CONGRATS TO EACH OF YOU......you all have memories to last a lifetime. Just ask OnB and his buddies......as they should, they're still reliving and telling stories from days gone by. Your kids will be giving you heck someday as you do the same. As for this All-State banter......have you all not realized the ONLY All-State team that has true credibility is the TnFCA Coaches All-State Team? (That's not to say the kids on the sportswriters' poll didn't have good years, because I guarantee each one had statistical monster years.) This poll you all are fussin' over is based on statistics, because the so-called sportswriters have no flippin' clue what kids opposing coaches are most scared to defend, or scheme around offensively. They don't get to cover the state, or prepare to face the best from other areas like coaches do from watching film and playing those teams. Basic stats can be skewed for many different reasons, most of which you have covered. They do not always tell the real story. To further bolster my point, if this year has proven nothing else, the newspaper sports coverage (in ETN at least) is non-existent, or pitiful at best. That is, unless they let Jesse Smithey and his @5starpreps team contribute to the voting.....which I'm sure they didn't. I believe you'll find that stud Wingo on the All-State team that matters most in the "ATHLETE" category, just as LadyKee suggested he should be. As usual.......Mom's right! HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS!!!!

#1 in the nation in their classification! Great post MrTwister!

Scott is a really good football coach. If anybody can be successful there, it will be him. Never thought the last guy was a fit there in any shape, form, or fashion.

She came back from her injury during the Ladies Classic of 2017. She was tentative and passed up shots. Coming back from an injury will do that. I saw her play Greeneville and Morristown West shortly after and could tell that she was getting stronger. Later, an improved Greeneville team short-circuited South Greene in the tournament and their season was finished. This season, I saw Wykle against Grainger and in all four games during the 2018 Ladies Classic and can say that she is fully recovered and playing lights out. She should at least be a finalist. She's a tough kid with talent and heart.

Here's something the rest of the folks outside of Alcoa can enjoy. Read it and weep. https://highschoolfootballamerica.com/high-school-football-america-medium-schools-top-25/?fbclid=IwAR0VIxMdvPQ7y1xg-lfDL6akxuWvt17gzDZQnKwPuuvb8NjpgfVHwO1oVGQ

Probably so. And he'd be wrong. Again.
