It also goes for every sport not just football.
1998 was the last time all sports where very competitive
97-98 BBall went to State
96-97-98 Football made it to the seccond round and in 98 they were upset by McNairy Central. They were picked to go to the Semi to meet Melrose. 2nd in region in 96-97 and won it in 98.
Softball played for the State Championship in 97. But all of the Seniors couldnt be at the game cause of graduation
Soccer both men's and women's made it to region almost every year
Baseball had a great squad in 97, but was upset
In 1999 SHS struggled. Coach Cox had to compete against well coached 4A schools. They had a huge squad and they were experienced. at least 6 seniors started since they were freshman. Starting TB Webster was out the first 8 games and they lost a bunch of heartbreakers.
In 1999 thats when SHS started stuggling. Especially in football
Now SHS27 Im not down talking Spring Hill
I figure since alot of people think that games are won and lost on coacht like the Mount Pleasant folks. Ill give them their props when they stop playing pop warner teams. Im hoping the players can see this. It breaks my heart to see Spring Hill go through this. If you want to see and inspiring story check out the "1996 Pearl-Chlon Football Team"
Everyone thought it was gonna be ten weeks and over. Except them.
Im a big supporter of Spring Hill and Ill go ahead and say what there problem is right now. Since I have to constantly read and hear what people compare about now and in the past.
There is no desire what so ever. Their are a few kids on that team who actually give a crap and their are a bunch that dont. They give up way too easy and they dont know how to play football. I say the Under Armour Superstars need to find their way out the door. Ill go ahead and put this out there also theor Defense has NO GAMEPLAN what so ever. I love the Raiders but thats how I feel.
Runningbacks you need to run hard. All of them are in slow motion
Defense you need to swarm to the ball. Instead of watching and waiting. D Cord where are you at????????DO U EVERY BLITZ
O Line you need to stop watching and hit someone every play and get in the weight room. If you miss a block miss it by 100%. #71 you should have about 20 Pancake blocks a game.
D Line too slow off the ball fire out. #8 needs to go back to DE. and just blow stuff up
WR/TE you need to be fearless and go after that football
QB Im impressed but you need to walk with your head up high, And take control of the offense and challenge your teammates and build confidence in them.
Coach S I know your new you need to find 11 MF who are unselfish and willing to sacrifice for their teammate.
Ha yeah what happened to #6 last year started out really good looked like a hoss. Then quit to concentrate on baseball and school work. What was the baseball teams record????? and needless to say after #6 quit to concentrate on schoolwork he was walking on the track with his buddies on a game night in the same week. I guess he studied earlier that night.
As for SHHS27
Its real simple are you gonna support your school your team. Are you even a football player. have you ever played the game. I aint tring to get smart but the only way SHHS will start that winning tradition again Get the Athletes on the Field.
I THINK THEY WILL DO THE SAME WITH ALL THOSE PLAYERS BACK THEY WILL NEED A NEW QB, I WAS AT THE SPRING HILL/ALCOA GAME IN WEEK 0. AND THE TORNADOES ARE A VERY IMPRESSIVE TEAM. THEY HAVE A GREAT PROGRAM I SAY TOP 5 TEAMS IN THE STATE.
#1 AND #2 ARE JUST FRESHMAN BOTH LOOK OVER 225LBS AND BOTH ARE RUNNING BACKS. TO WIN THIS GAME YOU HAVE TO LOVE FOOTBALL AND THOSE COACHES GOT THOSE PLAYERS TO LOVE FOOTBALL
Scott Salmons-2000
Chucky Ricardson-2000
Marcus Veals-2000
Oliver-2001
Chucky Richardson and Larry Daniels still play semi-pro football for the Symrna Dogs that belong in the MTFL
At Least MTP wouldnt have CHOKED in the Championship. Make Fun of MT Daily all you want. Everyone in the State, the stands,the coaches, the 11 guys on Defense knew Daily is gonna get the ball AND STILL you couldnt stop Him.
MTP wouldnt have CHOCKED like McKenzie
