2priceless I will be there tonight also...Are you going to treat me to one of those famous OHS hotdogs that we always hear about? haha

Did anyone hear about Youree quitting at Smyrna...I heard he walked into the coaches offices and told him he wasnt happy and he didnt want to play anymore...Whats wrong with this kid, this is his senior year, and he was lucky that Shadowens took him in the first place after what he did at OHS, then hes going to go through all the two a days and stuff, then three days before the first game he up and quits. Whats up with this kid?

Gotta go with the Blaze. But this one will be close, it all comes down to Blackman's defense. They do just enough to will by 7!

haha well we dont claim him!!!

Ok so let me get this straight? First of all you have LaVergne 1st...Not going to happen...Then you have got Blackman 3rd...haha in what world...Then you have Smyrna 6th? You must be from LaVergne or some place that knows nothing about football.

Alright its time for my picks, 1.Riverdale--Their still the champs until someone beats them. 2.Smyrna--Might be the best team in the region, but can they get over the hump this year and finally beat "the big red machine?" 3.LaVergne--Got alot returning from a pretty good team last year. 4.Wilson Central--Seem to have things rolling out there 5.Siegel--This pick may surprise some people but I really do thing Watson has this program headed in the right direction. 6.Lebanon--You just never know about the Blue Devils 7. Blackman--Could be the most improved team in the region this year. Physically they are much better, and the coaching situation has finally worked itself out. But the Blaze are still very young, and watch out for their freshman class!! 8.Oakland--Sorry "Priceless" someone has to finish last. haha

Yeah come on "Priceless" you have to get that started again!

Personally, I think Watson would do a great job at Riverdale. Look at what he has done at Siegel...He took a program that was put at an immediate disadvantage of having to play a full varsity schedule, in the toughest district in the state in its first year. He took his lumps, but got this team to another level last year. They were one game away from the playoffs last year, and ended with a winning record.(6-5) Alot of teams would kill to go 6-5 in this region. heck, ask the Blackman staff...Fact is Siegel was one of the most disciplined and well coached teams that I saw in this area last year. And if he stays at Siegel I got news for all of you, they will be a force to be reckoned with next season. They are young and talented, and their freshman team had alot of talent on it last year. Now maybe this is a personal thing between some of you all and Watson??? And believe me I can understand that. I played for the man at RHS and BHS, and Im not going to lie, we butted heads a few times during my playing days. But since I graduated I have kind of gotten to know Watson a little better and as an aspiring coach myself, I have alot of respect for what the man has done over at Siegel. If I remember correctly there werent to many people that had to many positive things to say about Rankin during his tenure at The 'Dale. But the fact is the man was a winner. And Watson is of the same breed. He knows how to work, and he knows what it takes to win at this level. Plus, Watson is a young guy. So you dont have to worry about him coaching 4 or 5 years and leaving to go somewhere else. I just dont see how Mr. Nolan could go wrong with picking this guy.

No Im not going back out there this year. Im just going to do travel league this summer. Plus Im going to work down at Nissan this summer. Are you over your mourning period after the "Mighty Rankin" has left? Give me a call sometime!

You cant blame the guy for wanting to get out of there. Things are bad over there right now, and I dont see them getting any better anytime soon. I wish coach Shockley all the best at MC.
