What kind of punk team just blows off a game? This isn't the NFL preseason, this was a game. They kept score. If they didn't want to show their offense then why didn't they just drop out of the jamboree? That's a tremendously weak excuse. David Brainerd beat Temple by almost the exact same score Silverdale beat David Brainerd last year... and Silverdale was labeled the dark horse of the region ever since that time! How does that work out? So what you're saying is that whenever David Brainerd wins a game (they are 1-0 by the way), it doesn't mean anything? Everyone knows Temple is sorry and apparently fond of making excuses. Sunbright went 5-5 last year and aren't a terrible team by any means. So when do people start giving DBCS atleast a little credit? I understand they didn't beat the best team in the state but a win is a win. 1-0 is still 1-0 any way you look at it.
The confidence they have is based on how they play and winning. They have played well and won. They have actually tied their win total from last year; thats a good start.
The kid you are talking about being ineligible is actually eligible. Talk to the TSSAA about it. You will come to find out that you are wrong.
DBCS has a handful of kids that have the potential to play at the next level, maybe not division 1, but college is college. They already have one player at Carson-Newman. Check the Carson-Newman Football site roster if you doubt me.
