Gotcha!!

Did they not play WB tonight?

I went to the Maryville / Catholic scrimmage tonight, but I heard WB looked really good against OR....can anyone give an update?

Yep….they whipped us and Tee looked awful good. They will be the favorite to do it again this year.

I will look you up!!

OR can keep it close if they can get pressure on the WB QB....but I see WB starters getting the better of this scrimmage...…When the 2's and 3's go in though it will be tough sledding for WB.

Might see you at this one....got to decide between coming to this one or going to GB. Sure am glad that football season is back!!

True post!! I talked to one of the Seniors Saturday and he and two other players tried their best to get into GB, but he said the parents were not in a position to be able to change locations of living at this time. If they ever open up the Loudon zone, it will hurt WB much worse than the few players they have lost to Maryville and Alcoa. I believe WB will win 6 games this year and will probably have a decent year next year, and they need to enjoy it because after that the cupboard appears to be very bare for several years unless they get some transfers or move ins. Good luck to the Govs this year....a few of those Juniors and Seniors were on the last team I coached when they were 12 and they won a lot of football games from age 7 through middle school, I would like for them to get a few wins at the high school level before they graduate.

Don’t stop believin’

Why so hard on me? I don't know the identity of half the people that have been posting on this thread and the only two comments I have made on this entire thread were positive comments....back on page 1 I stated that I thought WB would have a better team this coming year, and then I posted that they have good band burgers. Believe it or not, I would like to see all 4 Blount County schools do well, and I wish GB would win it all in 1A every year.

Pretty good band burger

I have always enjoyed your posts because you seem to be a straight shooter....but, from reading the last few pages of this thread it appears that jealousy is really eating away at you. Do you really and truly think that GB or any other school, including yours, should turn a kid away that moved into that school zone and had met all obligations set forth by TSSAA? No school in their right mind would turn down kids that were coming in the right way, I will go so far as to say that if a kid is moving in and abiding by the rules of TSSAA the school does not have a choice but to take the kid....they would be open to liability if they didn't take him. Would you expect the principal to say to a family that has moved and made Loudon County their home, "Well we can accept you in the school, but Johnny can't play football because he is not a lifelong GB resident"? Pujo, I respect you for the years of good insight and good posts that you have given, but, IMO you are way off base here. You are too good of a man to let jealousy cloud your judgment. Just my .02 cents.

You don't need facebook...go to page 15 of this thread and scroll down, someone has the feed playing, you can blow it up full screen and watch. Ive been watching the whole second half there.

Thanks!! I haven't made my mind up if I'm coming to this game or going to Oakland, but if I come to Whitwell, Johnny's was my choice as well...

If you think that SC has a more complex scheme running the football than Alcoa, either your knowledge of the game is not very high or you are just fishing for an argument. IMO, no one in the state in any class does a better job scheming the run game than Alcoa.

I made the trip two years ago to SP to watch the semi final game....that game started out tight and GB started pulling away in the second half. On a decent field, I think this game is very similar with both teams having some success early on but as adjustments are made, GB's balanced offense will wear Whitwell down and GB's defense gets more stops than Whitwell does....GB 34 Whitwell 20 If the field and weather are bad enough to effect the passing game of both teams....GB 20 Whitwell 13 Go Kees!!!! O&B you still owe me dinner for that big 8th grader I signed up....lol

Post of the year!!!!

I watched Oakland play Murvil in the regular season game...IMO, the Oakland QB has plenty enough arm and athleticism to be a good HS QB, it appeared to me that they just don't practice that part of the game a whole lot.....can't blame that on the QB.

Ouch!! That hurts!! Hope he is ok...

Kees take this one handily.....just hope they keep cool heads because they don't need to be missing players next week over an ejection this week. Go Kees!! GB 49 CF 7

I think Farragut will be very competitive, but I think Murvil wins 35 - 21

Have been impressed with what the Shinlever and company have been able to do at Bearden, they have really turned things around. I think this game will be more competitive than most think it will be, but I just can't see a scenario that Bearden will win the game. Maryville 31 Bearden 14

I said last week that if everyone returns that should return and they can find a RB, I think they have the potential to have a pretty good team. Their OL looked the part this year as far as size, but that is still the one area of that program that will have to improve before things get much better. I also don't have a clue what their schedule will look like next year, 91 says the non conference schedule is completely different than this year, but regardless of schedule I think they have a chance to be a better team next year than they were this year. According to the schedule, they could have a better team but it still might not show in the amount of wins.

Definitely a mind boggler....reading the paper Wednesday, Shad sounded like they were pumped up and ready to close the season out the right way, but what little I saw they were about as flat as possible. Always seems to be an uphill battle at WB and I don't know if it change anytime soon....they have some decent players returning next year (if they return), but judging by the middle school and the midget programs the last couple of years it doesn't appear that they have a whole lot of talent in the pipeline.

Wow!!! This one surprised me. I watched some of the 2nd half on 1470....this has to be the worse loss in the Shad era, and there have been some bad ones. OL was pathetic!!
