I’m hoping that we are bringing a little extra motivation with us this week as we just experienced what it was like to have the season almost taken away from us. And we didn’t like it. ROLL TRIBE.

Really man? Come on.

Some Shady stuff going on I’m afraid. This decision could have been made already. TSSAA better be prepared for fallout from a bad decision. ROLL TRIBE

The TSSAA will not miss out on the ticket revenue for this Friday against Maryville. Somebody will be at the skeeter Friday night playing Maryville and I’m hoping it’s DB. ROLL TRIBE

True. That’s probably a phone call that EH will be making to the TSSAA after today’s ruling comes out. IF, it is ruled that DB advances due to the fact they didn’t quarantine. Just thinking out loud.

There’s no way this game gets played. Even if he tested on Tuesday he has to quarantine and has been around the team so they all have to. DB tried everything they could to have someone tell them it was ok to play the game. Didn’t happen. TSSAA will have no choice but to advance DB to the next round based on the State Health Dept ruling. I hate it for all involved because we all wanted to play this game. We were excited to see if we could shut down this running game. Time to get ready for the trip to Blount County and another visit to the “ skeeter”. ROLL TRIBE!!!

I too would love for DB to win but let's get real. That's not happening. Last time I checked Malik and Swafford have graduated. That was our last great chance. This team is getting better each week bit Maryvilles caliber we are not. I'm going to be conservative and guess 42-6. And that's just because of the injuries to the Rebel players. I hope I'm wrong but I doubt it. Hoping for a better outcome but is just not realistic. ROLL TRIBE

There is not a blue print to beat Maryville. Check the history of Tennessee football since the arrival of coach GQ. It just doesn't happen much. This reminds me of the old saying. It's better to remain silent and not thought to be an idiot then to open your mouth and remove all doubt. Dude!!! Are you 16 ? Realistic comments only please. Hang in there. You'll get it eventually.

compton, you have only been on here for a week rookie so I'll cut you some slack mostly because your mom and dad are probably brother and sister so you really can't help it. ROLL TRIBE

Next time you eat at Pals, thank Pal for all that stuff. Haters gonna hate. Idiotic statement ...

Uh, well. I'm not even going to touch that one.

You know what you get when you cross a Mechanical engineer(father) and a chemical engineer(mother)??? Wait for it.... A BAND STUDENT!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

From what I've seen already, they have started reacting to the ball. FINALLY!!!

Do you honestly think that Hampton could beat DB in any year? I like your competitive nature but living your life in a state of delusion is just sad.

I can see there is no reasoning with you. North? Realy ? I guess now you're going to say Gate City? Lol. Haters gonna hate. ROLL TRIBE

I'm waiting for some pie hole. Lol

YES!!! AT least 5 TD's

Down or not, YES ! DB consistently has and would continue to roll all the teams in upper East Tennessee. Science Hill is Realy the only team that can consistently push us to the limit. That's my pie hole!!!

Are we the same DB team we were when we've had players such as Sensabaugh, Foreman, Swafford, Adonis , Gaines, and so on? Heck no. You can't expect to have those exceptional athletes every year in Kingsport but we are going to field a team and work out butts off to win. When the band marches into the stadium the excitement will start to build and by kick off you better believe the Indian pride will be in full force. This team has some talent, a lot of it young, but you have to know that we are going to be ready to go and compete. Every game has its level of anxiety filled with stories of past rivalries and game legends. The history of Dobyns Bennett football speaks for itself. Looking forward to the Vikings coming to town next Thursday but Realy looking forward to our trip to Blankenship field for game #2. ROLL TRIBE!!!

m We didn't play well as a unit last year for whatever reason as a whole. This year will be different

I'm excited for the game against Tenn High because football will finally be back. It's like Christmas for us football guys. Time to see the new players and see how much better the returners have became. Tenn High always plays us well. Heck, we are the measuring stick in this neck of the woods anyway. We might have been down last year but we are getting better. We will show a great improvement over last year. And you're right, most of us old school Big East guys are still dreaming of the old Oak Ridge games and remembering the rivalry we've had with them. I can't wait to go to the "ship". Lots of old memories about that place. ROLL TRIBE

Some kids will play both ways. The ones that so are just to good to keep off the field. And I didn't say we were going to be state champions just that we are improved obviously over last year. ROLL TRIBE

It's almost impossible to know for sure about your team from a scrimmage but I do know of a few returners and a transfer that will make DB a lot better this year. Savon had already broken all of Hayworths weight room records from what I've been told. He was all State last year at J I Burton. I also hear that his brother who is a sophomore could be the best athlete in the school. We need him on the football field. Holt at TE will be a huge weapon if we use him. Maupin will be much improved and will have s good year both passing and running. Dee Williams looked good at WR. RB will be by committee but we will have some speed with Barrett getting some reps in the backfield. LB's are as good as we've had in a while. OL and DL both have good size and DB' s getting work from former Dallas Cowboys Gerald Sensabaugh will make a huge difference. Already noticed how the DB's are reacting to the ball correctly. Something we've not done right EVER!!! All this and a healthy group for the year and getting a couple healthy will result in a much improved season and putting DB back in the conversation. Oh, I almost forgot. Freshman RB Keyo Taylor should be considered to be moved up to varsity. 6'0 and 216. He had the size to make the jump just as Chris Sensabaugh did a few years ago. ROLL TRIBE

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to kick it off. ROLL TRIBE
