Jackson County would have a better chance of competing in their 3 A region than they currently do.

 

@Indian projected a region with JC, Sequatchie, Smith, Grundy and Community

 

I would question Community because of their drive, but there is no doubt they would be more competitive in that region than they would be in either 2A projections.

 

How about y’all missing the 1A cut by four students.

Does Jackson Co. & Community have the seating capacity for what they really need in 3A and this region?  

I remember Sequatchie played at Community 6 or 8 years ago and they had one small portable bleachers and people had to bring lawn chairs or stand up.   Part of the game was also played in a downpour if I remember.

There were plenty of tickets available at the gate. Sequatchie could have brought as many fans as they wanted. Every away game I've gone to I bought my ticket at the gate. Nonsense.

 

According to our AD when he called to try and get more tickets.  He was told they would only have around 50-75 tickets available for sale at the gate beginning at 5PM.    People weren't going to take the chance to drive two hours and maybe be able to get in.

I myself didn't get a ticket either and this was the first Sequatchie Co. game I have missed in 25 years (1995 Playoff game in Greenville, TN to be exact)

York only with room for 85 visiting fans Friday?

It's pretty dirty they did that. 

They know the Sequatchie fan base travels extremely well.  That amount of tickets isn't going to cover half the parents of the players much less when you add in parents of cheerleaders and regular fans.

The game should have been moved to Dunlap and if on the schedule next year Sequatchie then could have traveled to Jamestown.  

Congratulations to the Sequatchie Co. Middle School Braves a big 38-20 win at South Pittsburg last night.

Congratulations to the Sequatchie Co. Middle School on a 42-34 win at South Pittsburg in Rd. 1 of the Playoffs.

East Ridge (1-2) @ Sequatchie Co. (3-1)

This was the weirdest game I've ever been at and I've been to pretty much every Sequatchie game the last 25 years.  

I wasn't going to create a thread for this game since no one else did but I want to give a shout out to the Sequatchie Middle School a 22-8 win at Jasper last night.

I'm not sure at all.    I had been told it's back to top of the alphabetical order.  When you find out please post.  Thanks.

In this past week's Grundy County Herald there was an article on the Jackets preparing for the season and it listed them as hosting the Jamboree on the schedule in the article.  So pretty good bet its in Coalmont.

I believe Bledsoe is gonna host this year as well.  Alphabetical order starts with Bledsoe County.  And I assume that's where we are at.

Just wondering if Jasper is gonna bail on continuing to play in the Sequatchie Valley jamboree.  

 

Are we sure its in Pikeville?  I was told Grundy Co. had it?

Who is going to be qb and power back if they keep the same offense 

The upcoming Sophomore (McCurry) will be the QB as I have heard the coaches talk about his potential going back to last summer when the Middle School kids could start practicing with the team.   And with the JV going (5-1) has done nothing to make me think different.

I’d say #5 the boy that played running back. Our line needs to get mean. 2016 the lineman was tough and would push you around, last 2 years they’ve been beat on all year. The full back needs to be #26 the boy who played de he’s a tough son of a gun and stout as a ox. They need to practice him at it. Plus he ain’t scared to light your world up. 

I agree #5 (Morgan) will probably be the featured back.  There is a number of other guys who will get carries a Senior who was injured all last season should see time in the backfield as well as LB if he comes back.  As well as a number of underclassmen the coaches are high on.   (#26) from this past year graduated.

The FB will probably be the Sophomore (Meeks) some of you who follow the SVC Middle School conference probably remember that name.  There is any number of potential ball carriers a few of which will probably be moved to receiver.   

Hopefully they can get another couple of athletes in the school to come out and play like they did the last season with several Sophomores & Juniors who hasn't been on the team before like the Senior (Carr) who had played in LL & MS but had only played Basketball & Baseball in HS until then and played spectacularly in the defensive backfield.  

Including several who had gave up football under the last coach.

If those kids are supported by the parents that come and cheering for them, why do y'all care how many people were in the stands. lol wow!!! I was at that game and the crowd came in slow but they had a crowd for a stadium that big. I don't even think those kids cared as long as the people that anyways support them were there.

Well excuse me if I think those kids deserve better support.

Worry about that Principal  and that School Board member that covered up those two kids playing football all year illegally. I feel sorry for the school probably about to be punished for something the admin did. Worry about the topic that is big that y'all will to NOT bring up that's on the news daily now.

Enough is enough on this topic.  You obviously don't know what you are talking about.  Nothing was or has been covered up.  The individuals in question have been a part of the school system, students at SCHS and members of the football program since late summer and from what I was told in July they were approved for enrollment by the Superintendent of Schools as well as the Principle and others involved at the HS.  

Nothing was hidden about them being members of this seasons football team. 

I have to say I feel sorry for the Red Bank players & coaches.   They were a 10-0 team in the 2nd round of the Playoffs and couldn't get more than 100-150 fans to the game and it was well short of that at kickoff.

48-24 Sequatchie.

Grundy used every trick in the book to stay in it.  From a fake FG to the old hook & ladder.

When the majority of your baseball players play football and start on both teams doesn't make sense to do spring football when your main football players wont be participating

That should be good for the betterment of the program overall. IMO  It would allow for the coaches to spend more time with the younger guys (non starters) and help get them further along so when fall practice starts they will hopefully be ready to contribute. 

If I was going to change anything about Spring Practice I would make it where incoming 9th graders who were on the Middle School team in the fall (and plan to play HS ball) would be allowed to workout/practice/attend team meetings with the High School team if not participating in another MS/Jr High sport. 

So they are better prepared once summer/fall workouts/practice starts.  JMHO

Bledsoe needs better restroom facilities, 10 min wait is ruff on folks! 

yes, several were talking about the restroom facilities and the wait lines while folks were leaving.   They need to add visiting side restrooms and the ones on the home-side could do with some refurbishment.  While they are at it add about 8-10 feet of new bleachers on each side of the existing visiting section.   

There was the Sequatchie Bowl played at Sequatchie Co. High School in Dunlap in the 1970's.

You’d like to have both.

JV won 34-0 over Cumberland tonight.

Nice, combined with the earlier 20-0 win at Marion Co. they have scored 54 points in two games and haven't been scored on.   I like that this staff is emphasizing JV games and getting the young guys playing time against actual opponents.   Should be beneficial to the program going forward.

Sequatchie 20-0 over Marion in JV tonight 

I was wondering how it went.  Had some yard work to do so I didn't try and make it.

Good win by the Sequatchie Middle School Braves at Whitwell tonight 16-8.

There was a large crowd at the community pep rally this evening. Folks are excited about football in Seq. 

The bank gave away just short of 500 Hot Dogs and the drinks had be refilled twice and still ran out!

Sequatchie folks: is y'all's field grass or turf? Haven't been there in a while and looks like it could be a little wet on Friday!

Grass  it typically drains really well.

Another thing that surprises Me is that we got 65 kids on the team, so we got a big group out that love the coach 

Its a solid Coaching Staff that's made up of guys who the kids love.   Four of which are former Indians themselves.  Another is a former Indians HC who is a great person that cares about the kids and also coached three of the four guys I just mentioned.
