Who has offered Newble the quarterback?

Dyersburg couldn't stop Newbie either...He accounted for about 371 yards of Liberty's offense...

Have several friends in Milan. Went to college and was a frat brother with one of coach Tucker's sons. Met him around 1983. Heard lots of "John W.Tucker" stories down through the years. Great coach. If he hadn't been thrown in with Brentwood Academy for so many years, there is no telling how many state titles he would have won. Coach Tucker had been sick for a few years. Great coach. There will never be another like him..

No discipline. WEAK, WEAK, schedule...The kids run the candy store. It's not like it was when Counce was here. You had no problem knowing "WHO THE TALL HOG AT THE TROUGH WAS"... when he was there. Players talking back to coaches, no discipline, stuff you WOULD NEVER HEAR about from a James Counce coached team. Like him, don't like him, he was THE BEST FOOTBALL COACH DYERSBURG HIGH SCHOOL EVER HAD.

Don't really know WHAT the plan was...I know we lost a GREAT football coach in Counce Sr. and possibly the best strength and conditioning coach in the state in Counce Jr. Dyersburg football has became a joke since he left. Lots of kids going to Dyer County, who I think got better with the hire of asst. coach Barry Kendall. But as long as Counce Sr. wants to coach you guys will be really good. He's one of those old school coaches who makes kids want to run through a brick wall for him. And he's got the athletes up there that can do it too.

Saw Coach Counce down in Dyersburg the first of the year and congratulated him on his state title. Talked with him about his team and he said "HE HAD SOME TALENT" coming up from the freshman team that would be sophmores this fall. Long as He and "JUNIOR" are there, his teams will be tough. You know what you are getting when you play a James Counce team. Nothing fancy, just line up and hit you in the mouth. Sort of like those Nebraska teams of the 90's that were so great. He did wonders with what he had at Dyersburg. With all that talent he has at HC, If he stays in coaching within 3 years he could have another state title. The guy is a great coach IMO.

My old offensive line coach in high school Jim Younger coached him. Told me "HE COULD REALLY THROW THE BALL".

Where did McNairl end up? Was it Tennessee State?

You'd be surprised at the number of fans who came from Dyersburg to follow Henry County. Coach Counce and Counce Jr. have a lot of friends and fans down here who wanted them to win a State title.

From looking at the picture he's nowhere NEAR to crossing the endzone. If you want to blame someone. Blame the coaching staff for keeping the center in who was making all those HIGH SNAPS. That was what hurt Powell down there.

You aren't going to find teams that are in better shape in the fourth quarter than a James Counce coached team. Counce Jr. is probably the best strength and conditioning coach in the state as well as a great offensive line coach. You know what you are getting when you face a James Counce coached team. Where ever he has been, it's been the same thing: Nothing Fancy. Just line up and run the ball down your throat. Sort of like the old Nebraska teams of Tom Osborne. Just Mano Y Mano football. With three middle schools all feeding that one high school, he'll have a lot of talent to work with up there. More than he ever had at Dyersburg. He always did a remarkable job here. He basically took "LEMONS AND MADE LEMONADE". Up there he has a buffet of talent to work with. Congratulations on getting the Gold Ball.

How many yards to Mobley end up with for his career? I read he got over 3,000 for the season and passed Troy Fleming as the all time leader rusher in Tennessee history. He had 208 last night I believe.
