Any word on where players from this region/district are going to continue their playing days in college?

2 signees from Brentwood High School...Cameron Mason, TE/DE and Region 6-5A Defensive Player of the Year will be playing his college ball at the United States Naval Academy. Cole Tischer, MLB, will be signing with Western Kentucky. Both Mason and Tischer were first team all-region, all-county, and all state players for Brentwood and the Bruin nation wish them much success in their college careers!

The TN Football Coaches only vote for athletes whose coaches

are a member of the TNFCA. So, the all-state selections are

very limited.

What percentage of the coaches in the state belong to TFCA? If the number is at least 95% then I would think this poll has validity.

Im trying to figure out why NOT ONE Franklin player was on this All Star team??? How do they get selected.

I do think Connor , Alex Ford, Keylo Lee, Nick Gordon, Graham Nichols should have been there...Craaaaazy

There is a possibility that they were invited but declined - they do have the option to say no. Brentwood had 2 kids invited to play but one declined, and that was the case with several other schools as well.

The fact that he won the "Offensive Lineman of the Year" award is testament to how massively flawed and ridiculous the Region awards/ team selection truly is. How does that excuse become labled as the best offensive lineman and Connor Walkup gets left behind. Anyone who thinks that Logan Massengill deserves that award needs to go watch the Franklin vs Ravenwood film, and then re-think their position. He went up against Cole Nathan all night and he did not get close to Nathan one time...How does that deserve "Best Offensive Lineman of the Year"

 

Chaz Scales??? Really??? Did Chaz Scales really win MVP??? Would someone please explain to me how he deserves that award. When I think of an MVP I think of a difference maker, but a difference maker in Big Games. The only difference he made in Big Games was he always found away to fumble the ball or throw it to the other team (Brentwood twice & Franklin). MVPs win games...Not lose them.

If the region awards/team selection is "massively flawed and ridiculous" per your words above, does that mean that the 8 players who were named from Franklin shouldn't have been included? I think you had better think before typing because it reflects on those you support as much as those you oppose. We have to assume that those who voted are more in the know than the armchair quarterbacks who kvetch on these boards after the fact.

Congratulations to the Players for their accomplishments....so far I have the boys from Franklin who were the runner up state champs

 

Congratulations to:

 

Graham Nichols - Offensive Player of the Year

Cole Nathan - Defensive Player of the year

 

All Region first team

 

 

 

Connor Walkup - LT

 

Keylo lee - HB

 

Alex Ford - FB

 

Nick Gordon - LB

 

J.D. Jervis - DT

 

Jarriel Eaton-WR

 

 

Congratulations to Ron Crawford Brentwood (Coach of the year)

 

Job well done...Please post other players awards if you know them...

I believe that you have the Defensive Player of the Year wrong - it was Cameron Mason of Brentwood High School.

I hope the Rebels storm their field in celebration. I'll never forget in the 02-03 season when Brentwood came to Franklin and stomped on the F at midfield. I think our fans were in such shock, that i was the only one who instinctively ran out onto the field to defend our honor. A little bit of the Bruins own medicine will be just nice for them this year!

Are you kidding? I certainly hope so, because if you are still holding a 5 year old grudge and plan to seek revenge against kids who were nowhere near that activity you really need to get a life. As I recall there was no stomping on your F at midfield during the regular season game this year. And people can celebrate a win without being childish about it, so let's all try to remember that tonight.

This, my friends is a class Bwood supporter. I've bashed some of the others but in reality I know there are more like you than them. Good luck to your son Fri night.

71Pops, thanks for the kind words. It is my hope that we can all, both Brentwood and Franklin supporters, join together in praying for an injury-free game on both sides of the ball, good sportsmanship on both sides of the ball, and most of all that the players for both teams leave their best out on the field of play. Win or lose, don't hold back any effort or any enthusiasm. For the seniors on the squad that comes up short, this will be their last high school game, many of them never to play again. A fortunate few will go on to play in college, but this will be the last game with their childhood buddies. Go out there guys and play like it is your last game. Make this a night that everyone will remember, but for the right reasons. That is what makes high school football the sport that makes fan-atics of us all! Godspeed and may God bless all players, coaches and parents involved.

First of all, enough with the caps, we get your point.

 

Franklin will put up more points on Brentwood than they did in their previous meeting. Question is, can Brentwood play in a high scoring game and keep pace with Franklins offense. I doubt it.

Okay, I can't take it anymore. I have sat back and been unwilling to join in this ridiculous war of words, but I just can't do that anymore. For all those Brentwood posters on this thread - please be quiet!! Don't give Franklin any more articles to post up in their locker room. This week's game will be a tough one and we don't need to give the opponent any mental edge. Let the boys handle this on the field of play, and win or lose, let them show what they are made of. I am the parent of a player and beg you to rein this in and keep our reputation what it should be.

For all you Franklin-lovers on this thread, I am going to say this. Brentwood fans are every bit as proud of their team as you are of yours. We love the grit and determination of these boys, and the senior leadership that has been exhibited is what keeps driving this team forward each week, even when the odds seem stacked against them. I am sick and tired of seeing on these sites that we are arrogant or elitist or whatever other terms can be dredged up against us. We have endured some of the dirtiest play I have ever seen this year, mainly because we are Brentwood. The Channel 3 announcers and the Tennessean have such a bias against Brentwood and for Franklin it is ridiculous! Everywhere we go we hear "those snobs from Brentwood" this or that. There are many of us who actually work to live in Brentwood specifically so that our children can go to the #1 rated public high school in the state of TN. Check out Newsweek! From academics to sports to the caliber of the families, there is nothing about Brentwood that we can be ashamed of and nothing you say will change that.

So, all of this to say that if you hear Brentwood fans getting a bit passionate about our team you can know that it is because we are the ONLY ones who will! Brentwood has never gotten the respect it deserves and we know that our kids need just as much support as the next team and we will be the ones to give it to them. Let us enjoy this bit of success the Bruins are experiencing and give those boys some props for the great effort they continue to put forth.

You people tire me greatly with all of this nonsense.

Thought I'd start a thread for the Bruins since none of their supporters seem to care enough to start one on their own.

Bruins supporters care passionately about their team, but as mvs-brentwood points out we prefer to leave the talking on the field of play, not on these message boards. From some of the misguided, childish comments that I have seen on several other topics it is no wonder that most of the Bruin faithful have decided to hold off on resorting to that kind of negative and non-productive effort. Winning with class and style gets my vote everyday!!

Just a few days before the game and nary a post in sight regarding the Bruins/Eagles game on Friday. What are Brentwood's strengths/weaknesses compared with Independence's strengths/weaknesses? Predictions?

I see alot of info about Blackman's defense on this post but let's not forget that Brentwood also has a very solid D. Alot of seniors with alot of talent. And while our offense might not be dynamic they are also solid with a good line making holes for those runners. If Brentwood can indeed scheme for some passes, nothing long just some short yardage throws we should be able to make the game very interesting Friday night. GO BRUINS!!

Blackman comes to Brentwood this Friday night. Brentwood looks to avenge last year's loss at Blackman. Who comes out the winner in this contest?

Any offensive or defensive line will be dominant if you feed them enough steroids...

You have got to be kidding me. Maybe you should visit during workouts to see how good athletes are built. Great to see that sour grapes are still on the vine.

I really think Brentwood could come on strong. This past season was the worst I have seen a Brentwood team in a long time, but with their stellar coaching staff there is only one way to go and that is up. It's not to shabby when one can say what I just said and that team still made the playoffs.

Because of the caliber of their returning starters and talented backups, Brentwood should be poised to have a good season. A definite key to success, however, will be their ability to throw the ball which was not a strong point last season. If they can identify a strong QB this spring and get that person lots of reps with his receiving corps over the summer then I believe they will be in a top position by the end of the regular season.

BUMP...

Congratulations to the Brentwood Lacrosse Club for their championship win at the Dan Anderson Lacrosse Classic in Birmingham this weekend. A great team effort and a special nod to MVP David Catterton - well deserved honor for terrific goalie play!

GO BRUINS!!

6-5A fans have been awfully quiet. Although spring practice hasn't yet begun, surely there are some thoughts about what the upcoming season might bring. Isn't anyone else having serious football withdrawals like me? Let's get some discussion going - I am tired of reading about Franklin County and East TN!

BUMP...

sorry hoss but brentwood wont be makin it to the chip this year

Um you are really wrong about that statement we lost only 3 seniors last year and have pretty much all of our d and middies returning and the top goalie in the state from last year. We beat you last year with out some of our best middies. Good luck scoring goals on our all state goalie and getting past the defense. Brentwood is going to win the divison and win it all this year.

sorry hoss but brentwood wont be makin it to the chip this year

Irish, you obviously are a FR fan, so who do you have returning that will make the difference for your team? And why are you so certain that Brentwood won't be returning? They are consistently strong each year.

Who are the key players for the Rebels? Any significant injuries to note?

BUMP

While it was far from productive, it seems that Brentwood finally found a bit of offensive footing during their game against Ravenwood. AJ Krow brought a new level of maturity and athleticism to the table, and it showed. What will be some of the keys to the game this Friday - who are the key players to watch?

Who will come out on top this week - Brentwood or Siegel?

This is the week that I see Blackman's offense breaking out. We have got to stop killing our own drives with stupid mistakes. The defense is good and solid.

 

Blackman 31

Brentwood 6

While Brentwood has not yet found a rhythm on offense, I don't understand your belief that they will only put 6 points on the board. Blackman has some good athletes but so does Brentwood, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. I would be surprised if Blackman can put up 31 when Brentwood held Smyrna to 21 and Dickson County to 17.
