If that is true then they will be in a world of hurt if Bates takes over. He is lazy as they come and will not put in the work at all. Just look at him

OR will be down they lost three stud athletes that were all state level and wasted the RB. Powell will be down because they lose most of their OL and the better backup QB I heard has went to Clinton. SC could get better with the QB coming back but I think they lose their best linemen and I don't know about their skill guys. West will for sure represent 5A and East tn. They will also compete with, if not beat Page, if Page makes the championship

Any truth to the recently hired VFL OL coach already calling it quits?

They landed a portal kid formerly at GP, then Cosby and now a Smoky Bear....Kid can tote the rock tho.

The “portal stuff” is only going to get wilder. The rich programs that are flush with money will buy the best athletes, pay those athletes and provide them with great workout partners from the RTC

Girls Softball: 8 days of preseason practice during a 15 day period are permitted during the school year and prior to Christmas break

That I understand. Askey and Oakley are also graduate transfers. Once these Covid years are over this portal stuff might settle down. Right now App St and Campbell are top 25 teams in the Country. Be interesting to know how many kids never start at the school they transfer to. It’s really high in football

Many times, mat time, playing time are guaranteed if someone is brought into a program from the transfer portal. Believe me when I say that deals are being cut every day.

Or you could go to a high profile program and get stuck in the depth chart and never start. Grass isn’t always greener

If Jarvis could get in the lineup early and have a good season he could enter the portal for a much more high-profile program. It's all about having great workout partners.

Young man is from Alabama so maybe will stay, but who knows. I saw Askey (who beat Chittum at the NCAA's) and Oakley from App State, both NCAA qualifiers, entered the portal. Fun fact, Hunter Mason (ex Greeneville alum and now at VT) came back from a 6-1 deficit to tie 6-6 and then pin Powe in the final minute of their semi-final match back in November at the Southeast Open.

I personally think the East will be represented by Oak Ridge, Powell, or SC this coming season.Oak Ridge leads the way and if Powell can replace some OL, they have a legit shot. I don’t see anyone defeating Page next season but stranger things have happened.
