Thanks for the positive feed on Clinton. Don't count us out this year either. We are bigger with more experience with the offense and it will hopefully pay off a little this 2007 season.

I hope that they hit the books not only to play football but to be able to provide themselves and their families one day with a comfortable living. I hope the coach pushes the kids to achieve in the classroom before they achieve on the field. Do you think the grades are slipping because of the demands of the sports or what? I know that some of the Dragons ran into this last season....Good luck OR and CHS!

I think Clinton will be better than LC and SD. They Dragons may just surprise a couple of teams in 2007. We have some good players returning and a new attitude. Don't count us out just yet. Powell doesn't need to over look the Dragons.

How are the schedules picked as far as which teams they play? Powells schedule seems pretty basic, are there any teams that will be a real challenge? Are you all expecting the 2007 season to be that bad for the Panthers?

thanks for giving Clinton one up on Lenior City. I think the Dragons will improve alittle this year. Some of the guys have grown alot. We can only go up!!!!

That's one advantage at being on the bottom, up is the only way you can go. I really am looking forward to seeing the kids play next season. I know they are working out really hard to be bigger and stronger. I hope they can stay motivated and encourage each other.

I haven't heard anything about Rhodey. He was at practice Thursday. Another bad rumor I think.... I hope your right about things looking better.

Has anyone heard anything about potenial players coming up that will help out? Are there any now sophmores ready to concentrate on the varsity level (we know Weston)...Can we look to a better season?

And you are what 18 and fixing to face the world with all the wisdom and maturity you need to have......First they are kids that are on their way to adulthood. You have to have some maturity about you to dedicate yourself to practice and to playing when you are such the underdog and for as long as they have been the underdog. I think what you are mistaking for immaturity is the fact that they are mixing with the underclassmen on and off the field and not dictating their leadersip.

Now you are just being a real JERK! As a parent yes the first person I will support would be my child, but in supporting him I support the program. Ole Dad, some of the toughest and hardest working supporters are the MOMMIES that you seem to have a problem with and I would dare say that to be true for the Wildcats as well. It takes more than a check to support a program. Wildcat supporters I wish you all the best with your program there is some really good talent at OR....Keep the fire.

I have no dog in this fight as I am a Dragon Fan. (We have seen our share of hard times and then some) I must agree it's the supporters that down the program but do nothing to improve it in a positive was that kills the program. And your last couple of lines are awesome!!!! Great positve post....Best of luck to the Wildcats!!!

I haven't heard anything more on coaches. I do know that the kids are working hard to prepare for next year. I think some of the underclass are really pushing to gain position and I have heard that some of them are really shinning in workouts. The team relationships seem to be building as well, add coaches will only be a bonus to the kids are building.

Hey fishsticks where did you go? I hope you aint mad or anything.

The guys I have heard appear to be very positive about the way things are going right now. The discipline is there and building. There needs to be some leadership from the upper classmen (leadership not dictatorship). I am remaining positive and am expecting some good things from the returning Dragons as well as the under classmen.

Sounds to me like a lot of people you talked to want to place the blame on everyone else instead of just accepting the fact that the program is still in the rebuilding and there are alot of things that still need to improve. You have to have a little care in you to go back week after week, day after day and bust your A@@. The "underclassmen" (junior class down) will continue to build this program. The process started this past season and will continue. Unless you speak to every player on the team you cannot make fair judgements based on a couple of cry baby complaints. Oh and some of the biggest play makers this past season were underclassmen.

I agree I think we should mix it up a little. And yes our line is almost always outsized (we need to see what the other guys are eating). Seriously, we have some good players on the offensive side of the ball we just need to have a plan that pulls the best out of them.

I've been reading the OR posts and sympathize with the faultering football program (being a Dragon Fan you know I understand). Do you think that it is all the coach or a change in player attitude or both? I am not a huge fan of the OR coach but I don't remember any wildcat this past season just being outstanding (good) but not outstanding like players in the past from OR (not being ugly just an observation). Anyway, best of luck and I hope things get better for the fans but most of all the kids who work their butts off to make the team a success.

Yes we do and I really enjoyed the changes. As far as the transition from middle school to high school the kids have too many options as far as transfering to other programs. We loose kids to AC all the time. I think we have some really good kids coming back and the offense will hopefully improve for some wins.

Great, do you know who? I have high hopes for the upcoming season. The guys are working out hard and I have seen some of the kids and I can see some weight gain and size difference.

Just wanting to wish Dragon Fans a very Merry CHRISTmas and Happy New Year...

Why is it always the coach and never the fact that maybe, just maybe the talent is a little less than in previous years (not that this is the case)but it is a possibility.......

Best of Luck Wild Cats.....It's not an easy fix as we Dragons know. Don't let the program totally dive before taking action. It is a long way to the top but the fall is fast and hard.

I have heard that Raby doesn't want to play if he plays its for his family and not for him.

I am not saying things cannot improve, however I think their are some young guys that will step up this year, we do need to improve the offensive line and give things time to happen. The passing yards were not too bad but we also were highest in the sacks catagory.(getting sacked)

I am glad to hear that Shattuck is happy with who he has....I really think with a year of experience and getting to know the boys and what they can do will prove to help the team this year.......I just hope what ever decisions that are made they are for the betterment of the program and not for political gain.
