The way it looks at QB is Cook is the man but out with baseball and Foreman 2nd and out with track and we have White present at 3rd. The backfield all out with track Swafford, Slaughter, Foreman , Barger and I dont see much depth there right now except for one kid at full back, Zack Casey (I think) he looks promising. It's early so we will see how they develope. I personaly would have Foreman at WR and return! He is extremley fast! He beat Devron Young at the track meet and is considered one of the if not the fastest kid in east TN. He has to keep his eye on the ball and not drop it. Fundamental skill he should be able to master.

Ok BM I like you and all but lets be honest here. Your favorite lineman is big and strong but movement it not in his favorable category. We will have a few good lineman this year but experience will hurt us to. Hunter Holt will dominate the O line this year if placed there and DE position, either or. This kid has a mean streak in him with alot of heart and thats a awesome combination to add to strength. Nick Sensabaugh will step up and do a good job as well. We are in good shape at QB and in the back field so it will lay on the O Line and D line. Our linebackers are in good shape to. Looking forward to it!

Your either a POSER or a kid because, you obv. dont know what your talking about when it came to the game between DB and Clinton last season. Also, DB and Clinton respect one anothers athletic program and athletes so, it's odd that you come out of no where on here with such frank and explosive words. If your not a kid, you act like one .

Waco your hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont blame us for Souths stupid redneck behavior. Have you not figured out that if you kick a bee's nest your gonna get stung. Our Indian / s might have been smaller but with out a doubt we are alot MEANER Who is crying????? We are not the ones that got whipped three times this year, twice in one night .

If by chance "the situation" your talking about is the KFC buckets, if the South Adinistration had it in hand then the buckets would have never made it in the gym and the cops would not have had to take them!!!! You guys got beat twice, you just can't get it done and now you are wanting to cry.....I understand

Are you realy trying to blame our student section??? Classy????? Your student came over to the DB section to start trouble and because he got the crap beat out of him you are calling us classless ???? He came to do just what he did, only it did not go the way he planned!!!! Dont blame our kids for his stupidity. If the South administration had the situation under control how did the tree still end up in the school ? Your argument is real weak in every direction so, I will leave it hear unless you wish to continue. PS. I think the KFC buckets were pretty classless

Yes, I think I would do the same. I can see this happening in the Rebels Gym!!

Art, how do you know he went over to pick a fight? They removed more than one kid. If I were the law, I would also have removed the couple of kids on the DB front row that tried to intimidate the South players by practically entering the court and running at the players in a threatening manner. PS The great DB should NEVER lose to a small county school in ANYTHING. I love how DB gets fired up over beating South. It makes those occasional South wins so much more sweet. What ever!!!!!!!! The South student came over there running his mouth trying to look big....Bad move...Now he may have to have reconstructive surgery. His nose was laying on his jaw!!!!! He should have never done that!!! The DB side was not running on the floor either. Their was two guys going back and forth in front of the student section getting the chants going. The principle and a couple assistant principles were right there. Dont try and make it out to be the DB kids because it was not the case. South students are always doing stuff, just like in the South vs Toppers game. They brought in KFC Chicken buckets and put on their head....hummmm wonder why? The Cops took them. I'm glad how you pretty much surrendered on the win / lose category. Remember this next year before you start. DB and South are the local Rivals, thats why we love beating you guys, plus all the crap you guys talk that we get to feed back to you...LOL South fans are the mother load when it comes to talking trash!!!!!! You guys start every year!!! By the way your students do things to your own school. I have never known DB students to carry in a 40 foot tree and put it in the middle of the school like the south students. YES I said a 40 foot tree in the middle of the school!!!!!!!!!!! The South administration allow so much more than the DB.

I agree with you Batman, Allen at fullback is a strong move. He did a fine job for the Indians last year.

Fanatic one more question, were did I say GC was ruining the players self esteem? I'm not trying to play this like its peewee, they are big boys and will be ok regardless. I just had an opinion that this would help the team and players as individuals. Player/ Coach relationships are very important, but I figured someone would do just what you did and make it a personal issue with GC, it's not.

Fanatic I dont have a problem with the DB football coaches. I think they are good coaches and Good men. I just expressed my opinion, I think if GC would be more personable with his players it would have a positive effect on team. There is really no reason for him to talk to the players in a sarcastic manner all the time. Like I said before, I'm not trying to take anything away from him or his coaching. Now on to the next, Coach Morgan, I don't have any insight on this coach so there for I really don't know. I have heard just like you but I have no personal knowledge of what he says to his players or what he does. I do however watch some of the games and yes I have seen several players miss critical layups but you seem to be trying to lable someone individualy. There again, I'm not sure were you are trying to go or who exactly you are talking about. I more watch basketball at the beginning of the year to get a feel of were they are going to be in the season and who the new talents are. I also like the local rival games. Maybe you think you know who I am, is that it? Just trying to figure your post out and answer you questions.

agree and understood.

This may be true about Clark but I know for a fact who the best coach is going head to head and that is Graham Clark. If I had the choice as to who I'd rather play for Carter or Clark, it would be Clark, hands down. Thats the bottom line. As for the players having the drive to work hard to get better, I think the past two years has been the first time we have ever had this problem at DB. A friend of mine coached several of these players in pee-wee and he warned me it was comming. You could count the number of dedicated seniors on one hand without using your thumb. This senior class was small in numbers, small in size, and small in dedication. Good kids and all but just not cut out to be football players. I totally agree with you Wacko but, my point was not who is the better coach. I agree Clark is the better coach but my example was Stacy and how he constructed his team. He had structure, discipline and rules yet, he treated his player like family and with a little respect. I'm not putting Clarks coaching skill's in to question, I'm just saying that he does not have to be sarcastic and rude in every word spoken to these kids. He needs to give back a little of the respect that he demands. These guys have tough skin and sure they get yelled, cussed and benched when they do something wrong but like i said when deserved. ClarK is like this 24-7 with these kids and it's not good for the team or individualy. He needs to step back and re-evaluate his relationship with his players. This is just my opinion by what I have seen and heard time and time again and by conversation with Several individuals. It does not make them meaner, have tougher skin or a better player, its just creates a false respect for the coach and less eager to perform, when in doubt. You would get real sick and tired of someone doing this this to you daily and would probably kick their butt. They have to sit there and take it just so they can play the game they love,but it still gets real old and pretty much all they can do is try and avoid it as much as possible. Coach Clark needs to remember what kind of place he was in when he was a player at DB and how Fred Walton was there for him and pushed him through as a Coach. Clark would not have made it through with out him.

One reason the drive is not in the kids is because most of the fun and closeness of the program has been taken out of the football program. One thing I will applaude South with is their Head Coach and the relationship he had with his team. This is one thing DB dont have. I guess thats part of the reason he got Coach of the year, cause you can see and feel it from them. I'm not making this statement to take away from GC because I think he is a good person and Coach. I think he needs to make some ajustments. He needs to stepback and re-evaluate his relationship with his players. When players make it a POINT to avoid/stay away from him, thats not good. He needs to establish a good repore with them. He would get more out of them individualy and as a team. You dont have to be sarcastic/rude in every breath to have discipline, rules and structure. Like I said, I'm not bashing GC. I just feel that this is a very important thing thats missing from our program that we need.

Bench 300 plus, I'm really not following? Yes you need upper body strength but your power and explosion comes from you legs and your lower back takes punishment so thats also very important. I dont care if you bench 500 if you get beat off the line your history.
