I would congrat them if they do, but they were a long ways away from it last year. Plus, Alcoa is the king of mountain, until someone knocks them off of it.

Wow, those are some big words from a 5-6 team last year. Yes, Besty should be better, but a state championship? There is the little school outside of Knoxville called Alcoa, that is pretty darn good. You say, "They should have 8 killer linemen". Where were those boys last year? We know they got athletes, but last year their defensive/offensive lines were horrible!!!

North should have a good team. Does anybody know if Betsy's line is going to be any better this year? I know Betsy will have some playmakers, but do they have any lineman?

This is funny. DB fans have been spoiled. Anytime a high school football team has 10 wins in a season, that is awesome. DB is judged if they have a good season or not, only if they make to the state semifinals or better. The critics eat thier recent playoff disasters up. DB is the king of the mountain around here, until they get knocked off. DB's biggest problem is they need an offensive cordinator. Let GC just run the program. The defense will be good as long as Coach Watson is there.

I think DB still has some talent for the couple of years that could win it all. Their sophmore and freshman classes are the real deal. So, next year they might not be up to DB standards, but the year after they should dominate.

Wow, people has already started trash talking on here about the South and DB game. It is only March! Somethings just don't change.

I don't know what they will call this district. Who will be East's qb? Gaby graduated, and he was their MVP last year.

Greeneville should dominate their district. Playing a tough out of district schedule will help prepare them for the playoffs. Greeneville will win 7+ games a year for sure, and should be safe for atleat the first two rounds of the playoffs. They will end up playing Austin East and Fulton out of Knoxville, if I had to guess in the playoffs.

They should be really good in their new district, but they a very tough out of conference schedule. They lost alot of players from last year's team. Who do they have returning?

I never thought of that, but it is possible. If we only have only three high schools in the whole county (DB, TH, and Sullivan) they would be huge. All three high schools would be playing in the largest classification in every sport.

Who is the likely starter at QB? Roop or Seabolt?

That should be North's toughest game of the year, and a good game to watch.

You have a right to your opinion, but try to look at it in an other perspective. It could help all the systems in different ways. It want happen anytime soon, but it will sooner or later.

Why do you say that? I work for Kingsport City, and I never have had any problems. I doubt South will become a city school or North for that matter. I say in about 10 years (give or take a few) our school systems (Bristol, Kingsport, and Sullivan County) will be under one Board of Education, like Knoxville and Nashville.

North will be here next year as a high school and middle school (7th and 8th grade). The county commisioner, from the South Zone, that made the comments that lead to the article in the paper was a smoke screen. Colonial Heights will be annexed into the City of Kingsport in 2010. He made that statement to try to get North closed and save South in the future. The City has taken all the students that they can from the North Zone. So, now it is South's turn. I am not blaming Kingsport City Schools, it is just part of life. The surburban area of Kingsport is growing. Sooner or later Sullivan County, Bristol City, and Kingsport City Schools will be under one Board of Education. Until then, the County schools are going to have make the best out of the situation they are in for now. Now, back to football, in AA North is going to have a good team next year. Their toughest games will be against Daniel Boone and Elizabethton. They should do well in their new conference, schedule, and the players they got coming back. In AAA, DB, South, and TH are going to be the teams to beat. Daniel Boone and SH will be right there with those teams. All five of those teams has alot of questions that need answering. For DB, Who will be the next quarterback, go to widereciever, and their line? The good knews for DB is the quarterback gets to hand the ball to # 32! That will make the play at QB easier and make that O-line look better too! I trust that the coaches at DB will have their boys ready. However, I think the biggest question for the Indians is "what is Coach Watson going to do?" He is the anchor on that coaching staff.
