Blanca Nieves y los siete enanos

los rebeldes han sembrado bien.

Bueno, recoges lo que siembras

I had to miss this game but have played catch up in the paper and talking to everyone.A Great game for us and I hope we can close out the season strong now.Roll Tribe

The defense is our strenth.We are small but get after the offense.Our down linemen make a lot of plays. In the big games against the best teams this year,our overall defense has been the star.On the other side of the ball,it's been hit and miss.The QB has looked great at times and not so great at times.Our running backs and receivers have been the same. Blocking against the better teams has not been up to par.It will be interesting to see if we can open the holes up from here on out. I hope that we don't get conservative about passing,because we could have ran 20 different guys last week for a hundred yards against Elizabethton.

If we are playing WB,OR along with our region. A couple of local 4A schools makes it something for everybody to talk about.Going out of state would be nice too. It sounds special when a team with ALA.GA or SC is behind the name.

I agree with some things such as playing #9 more at LB. There are good seniors and juniors that could help more as the year rolls on.They take #18{CK} or whoever is playing the middle and replace them with another down lineman when they go to a 4 man front. The JV doesn't have a pure half back on the team.40){DS} is a solid Dogback and a good slot type receiver with big hands and good size.He is playing where last years halfback moved out of state.The freshman horse you are talking about,will do just fine for years to come, and 40 will be a big help at as well.If you watch some of the JV games,you will see some of the guys that played on friday against our guys.The JV has some nice athletes that will help the team over the next two years.The freshman played an undefeated JC team to the end without CS.

I think a lot of what you wrote is right on.A lot of people have talked about some of the same things you touched on . Turnovers will kill you,and our special teams are special in a need help kind of way. I think we have the team however that can fix these things.I allways go back to how good we were on offense at WB.Man,we hold onto the ball and take care of those " special " teams ? Having the team and doing it,time will tell.The coaches and kids will do their best over the next couple of weeks to come out strong.Roll Tribe

Sevier County won the State in the late 90's and as you enter,you are reminded.This is a team you should respect nomatter what their record is .We have not played a first half on offense yet.Last week we were way to slow in getting it cranked again,we should have been up by 35 when the Queen was walking off the field.The 400 plus yards we got on the ground could be very bad if we are not careful.I wish we could line up against WB,OR and run like we did friday,that would be great !! I don't care who ran the ball, we were moving people out of the way and all the time coach put in on the sweep, paid of greatly.Roll Tribe

Speaking of numbers,this was the first time that we were"100"strong.I think when the kids get back to work next week,they should have an extra skip in their step.The coaches rewarded many kids for nearly a year of hard work.If many fans would see what this entire team went through during the Jan.spring drills,they would be thankful as GC and his staff are by rewarding the whole team.If some players didn't get into the game,I know they tried,and even got a delay of game doing it.

I guess I just like Sensabaughs straight ahead,hit the hole type of running.He doesn't dance around,and when he get's loose he has good speed as well.

The last part first,but yes I think DB is capable of running the table and then some. We needed the two wins badly.I want to see us go into the playoffs on fire,and hope we can improve some of our weekly mistakes.Special teams still worry me to death. Can we please get away from a punt that is near our goal line or rolling on the ground with the other team all around it.I'd like to see us improve more each game and have no weak points at years end.Roll Tribe

I seen the high lights of your game,you guys just about beat us the same way.Good victory for Tennessee High. Oh yeah,Sensabaugh is special.

Read your own post.The last two years we had no problems with the pass.OK,This year we do.We are still missing guys and turning the ball over,way to much.We could have walked away from WB with a win,had we been able to make some catches.I do agree that we should have took one of the big guys and plowed over at the goal line last year.Yes,you have to be able to run.If you can't pass and they stack 8 and 9 at the line,then guess what. I'll tell you what,OR and WB will beat you because you ran two times an had a incomplete pass,punted the ball 30 yards and they punt it 40 or 50.It don't add up.

I know it's better to get the win on the scoreboard,but I think both of your teams proved a point.WB can beat anybody ,and so can Maryville.If the FG had been called good or not,nobody should talk crap after a battle like that.Just take pride in the fact you guys have two of the strongest teams in the state right now.Shoot,WB fans can even say they are in the top twenty in the nation tonight.Great job to both teams.

Pudding,did you see the game.Chris is a halfback with speed and power. I still have to remember my own words,if we go away from the pass,forget a playoff run.I don't care how good we look on the run,and we did look great.These teams are not WB,OR and so on. Glad to see coach use the bench,I know some of those kids will be so happy this weekend .I was really glad the big guy got in,he has earned it .Great game,Roll Tribe

I'd say our head coach puts in as many hours away from the players,as a lot of coaches put in total.I've come to know a few of these guys and the ones I know are top of the line people.I didn't say that all of DB's coaches attend church 3 or 4 times a week and never let out a curse word.If you look at DB's front seven on defense,you would say that they are not big enough to stop anyone.Watson ,who coached at the next level,puts his defense in the best places and makes great adjustments. Clark has won many games at DB,but he is grounded enough to know your next loss could break the dam with a lot of fans. Let's hope that the river running out of the mountains above Elizabethton doesn't break our dam when they roll into town tonight.

I think so. I've been around some great coaches and staffs,going all the way back to my game days in Kentucky.These guys are good and I know that as fans,we won't agree with everything. Looking at the staff at DB,I think they are very good and having the presure of all those years of great seasons behind them,have a very hard job.

Falcon fans, could anybody tell me about your junior players this year.I've heared there were a few good ones. Somebody told me that church hill was allso a beast this year,do they still have the guy that came down from Maryland ?

I agree,I've seen some bad calls and spots all year,but those guys make hundreds of decisions during a single game, and are going to mess up. The TSSAA has checks and balances as everyone should know.If a ref has brought up a red light with his calls,you better know someone over him is watching the game film and watching him even closer the next time he doe's a game.

We pay them good ! Just for this,I'll toss in a watch like the bear got at Kentucky.Your really going to get some bad calls now /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />

IT doesn't matter how good either one of us think DB is. Every team that DB plays,will bring their A game week in and out.Do you think that the number ''two'' 5a team in the state was happy to beat a 1 and 2 DB team by just ''7''. They were just as happy as the other teams ranked in the top 10 that beat DB in close games.I know your team has fine athlthes and no game is a win until it's over.

Warlock,it must have been a great game.Good luck to your kids the rest of the way.You sound a whole lot like a dad! If your not,and have a boy who plays one of these days.You better do like me and get some good blood presure meds. I've got a feeling your allready paying the copay every month.Good luck JC freshman

I've been told that Chris is well within the age range to play all four years.If you see this kid run,you will know that he has plenty of speed.I've seen him run the bases during the summer for years,and there are very few kids that can move around the bases like he can.That's what I don't understand when you talk about his lack of speed. I still say 45 is your fullback next year and bring chris along as a halfback.Just watch how he can pick an opening and hit the hole. People forget that Hogg was our star runner early on,but he has had trouble holding onto the ball.Sylvester for whatever reason,just hasn't had his normal great year.I know he was hurt early on,but he not running as hard on offense,but at the same time he is making great plays all over the defensive field.If Hogg had not had his bad luck holding onto the ball and Sylvester was making great runs,we might not have seen Sensabaugh for a few more weeks.If I were coach Clark and thought that the water boy would help us get to and win playoff games,I'd tell the water boys mom that [ fooootball ain't the devil ]and we will cook her some swamp food if he can play.

All is well up here,and I wish you guys all the best against Maryville.I had to hit the road early this morning,and I'm just getting home.I hope we can keep the good catches going and hope both our teams do well from here on out. I wish I could be down there for your game this week,but I'll be pulling for the Tribe and waiting to hear the score down your way.
