yeah everybody knows who you are, you just showed us all again. geez

Wow... So after you approached me at the end of our May BHS booster meeting, saying you were "back" and willing to help in any way, you get on here and say that, mention me by name and my "idiotic comments". Thats really odd, Chris. Its good to know though. I just have a question. What have I done to coach Shadowens, besides not trying to get him reinstated and boot Justus, following his resignation? Did you read that last phrase? He resigned. And Dr. Justus has been nothing but professional. The media has been careful to be very favorable toward Shadowens. I've taken those shots. Kreager has reported responsibly in the DNJ what has been reported to him by school board, sheriff, etc. Maybe you'd be happier in east TN. The leaves are beautiful in October, media reporting is apparantly to your liking, and your favorite coach is just minutes away. You should look into that.

Watson will do very well. He's ready and able to lead, and talent is not an issue.

wrong. is it in your wheel house to consider you are wrong? my name is in my username. has been for years. I don't have time for games.

very well written... Hey Craig, I (Wayne) am not "throwaway". I don't hide "treyrae". My name is in my username. And Dr. Justus has never "scared" me. She's only been professional in my dealings with her in all of this.

...yeah here's the 2nd one. I am very thankful to drive a forklift. if you think you cut me by saying that then that's a reflection on you. Nobody's told me to keep my mouth shut. In fact you and I spoke freely at IHOP that night for a good two hours.

Thanks throwXaway for the comment as well as including the prior comment. Its good for me to stay informed. This is Wayne Armstrong, booster president at Blackman for past 2 years and no hiding here. Notice the username, unlike the ones so brave. Haven't been on coacht in years but I got word of two guys calling out my kid and wife so at least I had to say hi. Very interesting thread, and I think there's another one I need to check out too. This is great, let me get my popcorn....

no panic or flinching @ BHS over Siegel loss. been here done this last season after 3 weeks. the challenge is for the upper classman to take full ownership of the team and season, and be determined to not waste a single practice to improve. this is as good a staff as can be found and Shadowens will draw all out of this team that can be drawn. look for a convincing win Fri.

he's the right age for a junior...don't know exact b'day...16 turning 17 ...and watch for little brother, #5...not quite as big but similar build with great feet. will play some corner and maybe some tailback...very aggressive too. very thankful to have the Mathers family at BHS

thanks SEC

hey Henry County!...question...are there any Hudson boys in the pipeline up there? My dad played with Bill @ Memphis State (then) in the early 60s and we used to see Ross (UTM), Todd (UTM - passed away), and John (Auburn) each summer growing up. I'm curious. Anybody know? Wayne Armstrong 615-796-1118 by the way - good luck this year

...oh, yeah, the game... Riverdale just beat us...no excuses here. We made way too many mistakes and Riverdale played a pretty clean game...actually really clean compared to Blackman. penalties..snap over the punter's head..interceptions..fumbles, especially on 2nd half kickoff following our TD ending the 1st half..a couple of defensive busts and missed tackles at the wrong time..you can't win at this level at this time of year with that And Riverdale did a nice job of game planning with a few tweeks from week 10...nice job of executing the passing game...that killed us by keeping drives alive...and they'd line up strong one way, then trade the TE and motion to the TE, and then run their offense to the new strong side...better matchups for Riverdale, and crucial to their success tonight. Riverdale is not what I'd consider great at anything, but real good at about everything...no glaring weaknesses. On the other hand, our weak spots kinda got exposed...but that's okay...it's one game and we're headed in the right direction.

Dang guys, give me a break with takin' shots at the kids..."classless"..."thugs"...? I've been involved in and watched a lot of football in my life and that was a well played game by the kids overall. There was a lot of emotion out there tonight and sometimes it spills out in a way that is regretable. The hit by 22 on 3 was a good hit...NOT "helmet to helmet" as one said. I got it on video. I thought it was borderline taunting. I wouldn't have disagreed had it been called and I didn't complain when it wasn't. I think the reason it wasn't is because 22 didn't do the taunting "over" 3...know what I mean? Collier scrambled and threw it late over the middle...I'd have laid him out too...that's the game. As far as "classless" and "thugs", that's just plain wrong, and frankly sounds like a remark made by a kid. My son, #10 BHS commented to me after the week 10 game that the Riverdale kids are the most respectful and hard playing players in the county, in his opinion. That's a reflection on Coach A and I congratulated him on the win and told him about that after the game. Coach A was very polite and I regard him as an elite high school coach, as I do Coach Shadowens. Blackman had an awesome year. We are thrilled with the progress and excited about our future. I couldn't ask for my son to have a better high school football experience than he's had in the past month. So congratulations to Riverdale for an impressive win...period. We'll cheer on the county and other mid-state teams for as long as they win, and expect to see the 2009 gold ball remain in Rutherford County. We'll lay down and rest for a while, then get up and start preparing for 2010. See ya'll next year.
