  1. www.wmufradio.com streams the games online.
  2. Early. I think gates will open around 6:00. Should be a packed house tonight.
  3. I applaud our coaching staff for knowing the rules and using it to their advantage. Springfield is a good team and minus the turnovers could have beaten us. I too, did not want to see Springfield's offense back on the field for one more chance. Which receiver was Farmer the former QB? I thought #7 and #8 were both very good athletes and felt like he had to be one of those guys. Congrats to both teams for a very entertaining night of football and good luck for the rest of the season!
  4. This is article 9 Section E which you did neglected to post. I am not a lawyer, but is this a loophole ? E. A non-faculty coach may serve as a head coach in football, basketball, baseball, girls' softball, and track if that person has five or more years of experience as a coach at a TSSAA or TMSAA member school and has taken the ASEP Coaches Education Course in a TSSAA-approved course and completed the TSSAA Online Coaches Training Session.
  5. Casey Prather looked uninterested and played with as much passion as a dead fish. Only a blind man could miss his size and athleticism, but his ball handling is suspect. I can see why Calipari at Kentucky cooled on him going to UK because in his DDM offense if you can't handle the ball he can't hide you. I talked with two scouts at the game one of them having seen him at an elite camp this summer and he agreed with my assessment, but said that he looked better when playing better players. So maybe we can mark up Saturday's performance as him not stepping up because of his perceived lower talent level of Scott Co. Otto Porter on the other hand I think realized who he was playing and never backed down. At 6'8" he ran the floor well, rebounded, and had a nice mid range game. He definitely needs to work out and visit the lunchroom a little more often but I thought he was the best player in that game. The PG from McCluer Boga was a smooth player and I would have loved to see McCluer play Scott County's guards #14,15, and 11. All in all it definitely was worth the price of admission and hope that it did well enough to have it again. Recommend Dyer County next year and hear there is a top five in the nation freshman at Southwind. Melrose also is making noise with possibly 8 D-1 prospects on the team from what I've heard.
  6. I don't quite understand this comment. What are you saying about the Boys coach at HC? Isn't winning why programs hire coaches? Our last football coach at HC before Gaddis,was given the pink slip because he didn't win. HC's Mens Coach wants to win and puts alot of time and effort into his team. People that talk about generally have an axe to grind because their son is not getting the playing time they think they deserve. No one is perfect, but these kind of comments by you are unfounded unless you know him personally. Henry Co. has won its share of games since he's been here.
  7. I think Najee played well, but lets let the coaches coach and let us watch and enjoy. It's the first game they'll be improvements and changes as the staff sees fit I'm sure.
  8. I think Henry County will definitely be the best team in the district, but I do not think that we will have as many running clocks as many predict. Teague was a once in a lifetime player with SPEED and a high football IQ. I am going to miss him and Allen and I wish them both alot of success at their new schools! Both could take a handoff and score in one play especially Teague. If you;ve not seen the videos on the website set up by patriot 04 go watch. The videos tell the story of how phenomenal both playerswere in their own rights. I think we'll have a more traditional team, one that will play good to great defense and an offense that can string together several 8-10 play scoring drives while controlling the clock and field position. I do not think we have the same quick strike capabilities we've had the last two years. You are completely delusional if you think we do. We've almost been spoiled with one and two play drives although fun to watch. Looking forward to our first game with Libery which I predict will probably be our closest game all season and agree that they will have the revenge factor. Good luck to all the players in the coming season! Should be another great season!
  9. Player of the year should be Sims or Williams period. Both players have shown the ability to carry their teams. think Simms gets the nod over Williams but not much. Coach of the year definitely should be a two horse race between Wilkins and Cooper. Wilkins has the first 20 + winning season for HC since late 90's he's done a fantastic job in a football school and has less athletes than the Clarksville schools I agree with the Professor on his hype.
  10. I agree whole heartedly! That was the championship game and it felt like it. Henry County played well the entire game, but DC got hot in the final 1:30 or so to quickly catch up hitting three 3 pt shots! James Dumas fouling out on a bogus call hurt since he was our primary ball handler and I can't believe that DC's final basket to put them up two was not called a travel. I give them credit they hung in the game all game and they were down by as much as 11 or 12. They just kept chipping away. Hats off to two very good teams and I hope they both go far in their respective classes!
  11. From a Henry County Patriot fan to the Burros! Congratulations on your winnig the state title! You deserve it by beating two very good football teams. Enjoy!
  12. Very observant comments and would sadly have to agree 100%
  13. Well I in no part am trying to be classless and would agree that some of our fans can let their mouth overload there butts. I respected your team and give credit where it is due, but I take offense to the postings of several of your fans on here that call "all" Henry Countians classless just because we sat on your side. I also have not an will not insult your fans. Your facilities are not good but that does not take away from your team or coaching staff. They did a spectacular job. It is you who is throwing daggers. I truly wish your team luck they came to work last night and did what was necessary to beat a great team. Again, good luck in M'boro!
  14. HC fans were not being disrespectful they just wanted a seat. Maybe the city of Nashville should put more money into your facilities. Our fans had your pitiful visitors section filled by 6 p.m. Your facilities were horrid, but your team played well. Congrats on the win and good luck!
  15. As will Hillsboro! I'm just a fan and don't claim to know anything, but the team with the fewest turnovers wins! If either team has multiple turnovers it will get ugly quick. This will be a defensive chess match on who can limit the others scoring. I know that both teams will score no doubt!
  16. No, most that I've talked to said Fulmer was a good coach, but he wasn't recruiting well. Guys like Meyer,Richt, Spurrier, and Saban were passing him by on the recruiting front. All of those schools and even Johnson? at Vanderbilt had more talent on the field then dear ole' Tennessee.
  17. I believe this is it www.wmufradio.com Click the patriot head and Windows media will open up. Pre game should start at 6:30 Hope that helps
  18. Coaching is important I'll give you that, but I've never seen a coach pass, run or catch a ball in a game. The discussion on who's coach is better is stupid. Obviously both teams a fine coaching staff with good players. Players win games! You can't coach talent ,a player has it or they don't. Coaches fine tune what God gave them(players ability), but any good coach always puts a players accomplishments on the player/players for working hard and doing the right things. I've never heard a good coach take the credit for a championship because without good/great players a good coach is nothing. Vince Lombardi could come back and try to coach some pitiful teams and they would be pitiful teams with a good coach.
  19. Don't forget SEC Championship rings. We have some coaches with those too, but having said that I know that coach would say all of those mean nothing on Friday night. Heck our HC has won a state title but that doesn't matter either. Bottom line the young men who excute and take care of the ball best will win the game Fri. night period ! Looking forward to seeing two really good teams line it up Fri. night and leave it all on the field! Good Luck Patriots!! The harder you work, the luckier you get!!!!
  20. Are the Mr. Football votes cast yet or can voters go to this game and watch both guys play and then vote?
  21. If the charter bus is leaving at three how can high school kids/faculty get on it? Will they be excused or do you think the high school will early release?
  22. Maybe Mr Kreisky can take this issue to the TSSAA as he did with the reclassification. Whether you like him or not he presents his ideas well! He's 1-0 with the TSSAA! /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
  23. Don't like this alternating rule that puts us in Memphis as a #1 seed. If your a #1 seed you should play at home unless of course your playing the other regions #1.
