While we enjoy all things football, I have a special prayer request that I would ask you football gurus to pray for. Coach Ryan's mother has gone in for emergency surgery this afternoon. Please remember her and the hospital staff in prayer. The bond between a mother and son is like no other, but this one is extra close. They are best of friends. Thank you, I know the family and Coach Ryan will appreciate it!

Kevin38 I have always respected you as a poster. You have always seemed knowledgeable and a good guy. But with all due respect, if I choose to respond to someone about zoning I will. You said “we”. You do not speak for everyone on these boards.

This kid jumps out on film. Great football player!!!

S/O to Zeke Rankin! Congrats!!

Was talking to my son after the game and he said the same about Cooper.

S/O to Magic!

Congrats to Mr. Cooper Baugus, Peabody High School, and Region 7 on the 2A Mr. Football award. If you gotta get beat, you want to get beat by the best.

James Moore won Mr Football

Welcome coach Carl Difee to Milan. It’s a great day to be a Bulldawg!!! https://m.facebook.com/843243376013249/posts/1012436119093973/

Sounds like RAT POISON to me lol

The QB for LC is almost a carbon copy of Swafford for meigs only difference is no coverage for LC by media at all or he would be Mr Football 1A

We’ll send you a pacifier while we’re at it.

In my years of knowing Springfield football we have only had 1 transfer player in the last 10 years and that was a QB from California in 2014.... Springfield isn't a hot spot for players to transfer to so they can get big offers and play college football lol this just isn't that. In the last 20 years we have only had 4 D1 football players! This is a program build on past players son's and brothers coming up and reaching there dream of playing Springfield football. Everyone on this Jackets team including coaches and support staff (Excluding maybe 3 coaches out of 20) are Robertson County born and raised. This is a small town football team that is build off tradition and family's. I promise you can keep us out of the zoning talk, if wasn't for rezoning and some of our players we should have being sent to our rival up the road and a 1A school outside of town we would be LOADED. Lets talk this state game! Both programs deserve that!

Good to have a little fun last night with the donkey and the other characters. But looking for a great game Friday. Best wishes to Holden Willis as he goes to Nashville today and prayers for the Ryan family.

Good luck Central from Betsy.

Congrats to Kemari McGowan from MTCS on being named Mr. Football for DII-A. USJ never played them so I didn't get to see him play in person. However, he had very good stats. After watching most of the Mr. Football presentations for all classifications; I think Davis was really hurt by not having the defensive numbers. Most of the winners went both ways.

Dude is a beast http://www.hudl.com/v/2C8ptb

The main thing is speed, we didn't have it in a lot of places we usually do in 2019, there are good players coming back, questions are, can Jacob Adams be replaced, big loss there, Gibbons should be sound at QB, but who are the backups, we had some questions there last fall, glad Gibbons was not hurt. We need a good tight end and another wideout, and definitely more speed in the secondary. The lines should be pretty good, a few guys to replace there. Kicking game will be wide open for someone to step up and punt and do kickoffs, field goals and extra points. The schedule will again be tough, but at least DB and Powell will be home games, along with Mt Juliet. West looks like the toughest road game, with a trip to Farragut, coming off a down year as well. The main thing is to get off to a fast start at Hardin Valley, OR stumbled badly in that game, getting off to a slow start for the season.

Right!!!

Facts!!!

Good luck from Betsy but you don’t need it because Cookeville is your home.I will be there cheering for you.

Congrats and Good Luck Elizabethton.Ill be pulling for yall and praying for safe travels to and from.Bring one home for NE Tennessee!!!!!!

Yes it has been interesting seeing the opinions of everyone these last couple of weeks. Some had very strong opinions and it was funny seeing how far off they were. But I give credit to Milan administrators for thinking outside the box and going away from the familiar. You would be amazed at how much interest there was from local coaches. But Milan went with a guy that few know of. But he is a professing Christian and makes no bones about. He is quick to tell you it’s all about the kids. And to take a program from 1 and 2 win seasons to 12 and 13 wins speaks volumes. And winning that many games in north Mississippi ain’t easy to do considering the competition. Very excited.

Good stuff man. Look forward to it.

My dude!

I was puzzled. I instantly thought Greeneville was in the championship game until I seen this post. I thought they was reloading year after year.

Coach Rankin son? Congratulations kid

0 everyone on the team is from our community!!!

Congratulations Holden. It was fun watching him last year but he really took it up a notch this year and was a man amongst boys!

Dang you gone disrespect our schedule like that? Alcoa does has some Nice sized kids. We know that. That's how they whoop up on most teams

I agree 100%. There should not be any transfer restrictions at all. Let the kids move to the schools that are going to give them the best opportunity to excel in their sport and give them the best chance possible to continue their sport in college if they do choose.

Don't worry we see yours too

Very well put! This will be a great one!

They do have speed and a lot of size but I’m not sure about their game planning. Covington actually outgained them 334-175 with 23 first downs to 10 and were the much smaller team on the field. I feel like if they would have utilized their passing attack more that they would had more yardage as they could’ve beaten the Covington secondary with long passes. I believe they only attempted a couple and completed one for a monster gain that turned into a TD. They did enough to win and that’s what matters but it won’t be enough against Alcoa if they underutilize their strength.

Yes, as other have said EHs is more balanced this year than previous teams imo. We have a lot more size than we have had in the past. We got some big WRs that can snag those jump balls and our CBs outsize the opposing WRs making passing a tough job. If I had to say we had a weakness I'd say it would be run D. However with recent success there really aren't any glaring weaknesses. Some times we can get into our own heads and commit some penalties that could be avoided and a couple points this year the kicking game has been inconsistent. Offensively we have many weapons than can hurt you on the ground or through the air. No one is here by mistake and Springfield is definitely going to come in motivated with a chip on their shoulder. I'm expecting a fast paced game between two very talented teams. I can't make a good prediction because we have blown out reams we were supposed to play tight and played tight against teams we should have blown out. Game day can't get here soon enough.

1A Mr. Football Winner: WR Holden Willis (Greenback)

Throwing rocks? I happen to know the kid family you're referring to. You want to talk about the beech RB who stays in Nashville? Y'all sound like clowns,trolls and haters. I dont like the firechickens at all but that's lame.

Both should be rated higher in the worthless national polls.

Yup. But, I'm think that the earlier Alcoa-Maryville game is showing to be two of the best teams in the state this year and, I think for the next couple years to come!

I was trying to help y'all out by letting that guy know!

good luck Pearl from the springfield yellow jackets

I hope so that's the fun part when you're a player going to get and watch all the other teams and some of the ones that you actually played.

just a fan of good football and not so much a fan of sore losers. kids are noticing greenback football from surrounding counties blount, knox, and loudon to name a few. coaches stay in place at greenback. kids from everywhere with the means will want to play for them. so I hope you have a good heart because its going to get broken a lot more if nothing changes at greenback. kees playing for the title! sp playing basketball!

They need to move Loretto-Greenfield to the 7:00 slot. Don't miss your chance Westview to make some serious money. That's gonna have a substate feel to it.

Lod ain’t it funny when we had a Democrat in office we never had the money or equipment we needed ?? Like ammo or combat related equipment or spare parts . But Air Force one was always ready to haul a plane full of ahole politicians somewhere at a moments notice

I’ll have to go with central in this one. They are the more experienced team when it comes to big games like the state championship game. Plus the central defense is very tough to score on.

I got Central in this one! That Defense will win a 2nd championship in as many years! Back to Back!

No prediction just happy to be here

This whole argument comes off as pathetic and is embarrassing to the Forrest program. If you teach your kids to push blame on others for your misfortune, you set them up for failure all through out the rest of their life. A better lesson to learn would be, to be gracious in defeat and celebrate your successes... not dwell on disappointments.

BTW I am a greenback fan, just don't live there. Used to be a SP fan as well, still try to be but durned if some of your fans don't make it tough with the whining.
