I'm sorry you haven't heard of him double. The kid is definitely good. He's been good since he was 13. It's so good to hear that he's doing well!

I really think it's very unfair to do this at this point. After a month? Sure, but not right now. Baseball's just too funny of a game to be able to say anything about it after a week, IMO.

Franklin High

My experience comes from Florida as well. Sarasota and Riverview met up this year in the region finals (our quarterfinals) and man was it nuts! The gates opened at 5, two hours prior to kickoff, and people were RUNNING to get seats. I'm not talking a couple dozen, I'm talking HUNDREDS of people were RUNNING to get seats... including a certain father-son pair from Franklin, Tennessee. The game sadly ended up being a blowout, but the atmosphere that night was like none I had experienced before. In Tennessee, the best I've been to was Franklin-Brentwood in the quarterfinals of the playoffs in 2002. I can't say enough about that night. It was just amazing.

It'll be fun having y'all in Region 6-5A! Welcome!

It would appear that way...

GWAVE1... it may appear that we lost quite a bit from last season. But if you ask me (and probably anyone else associated with the Franklin program), we have MORE talent this upcoming season than last year. We didn't lose NEARLY as much as we lost after '03.

As usual, a great post from BDD! Hey, no worries on the DVD. I'm not down there to see it when it gets there anyways, so it's not a big deal. Though, I'm sure when I do get down there, it will have been watched several times by another Franklin alum who's just a bit older than me. So you think Mikrut can do good things? In the couple times I got to see him, he just doesn't seem comfortable in the pocket. If pressure comes his way, he looked really uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. The result ended up normally not being good. Granted, that was against the GREAT defense of Riverdale and the good D of Brentwood. But in the past, Ref and Solima could both handle the pressure and had great feet. Of course, Solima didn't get the chance to show that off very much (exception: the Hendersonville playoff game).

Coach Smith is a fine coach, no doubt. However, he did that in 1A. He'll now be coaching in the best region in 5A - the toughest classification in the state. We'll see just how good he does. Outwork his opponents? Go find Ron Crawford and tell him he's gonna be outworked. Yeah, exactly, I doubt that.

Yes, you can do that in the NL East...

Hmm... that was hard to type. I started typing Henry County, Kenwood, and Clarksville. IMO, this is now a much stronger region from top to bottom than the past couple years. While I certainly agree that Region 6 has been the best in 5A since 2002, once you got past the top four teams, it really dropped off. I don't see that being the case this year I don't think. How is spring going for everyone? And a big welcome to fans of the new schools of Region 6-5A - Columbia, Clarksville NE, and Independence!!!

Somone apparently forgot too to tell the Reds that you can't win ballgames leaving 13 on base with a good majority of those being in scoring position! Grrr... and these games this weekend are actually quite important. Ah, plenty of season left. GO REDS!

Yes, it appears it will be the Brewers who will go 162-0!

I'm not sure why y'all are getting so excited about a spring scrimmage. It's really not going to tell much at all (if anything) and I just pray no one gets hurt. Example 1: Brentwood pretty much had their way with Franklin last spring. Franklin looked bad with a capital B. We see where they ended up. Nonetheless though, it should be fun for y'all to watch. Hopefully it'll be more competitive than 35-7.

I think they start next Wednesday? I'm not sure though. Maybe BigDogDaddy will be on sometime and can answer for sure.

Where's the broom?! 159 more to go... GO REDS!

We've always had receivers... they should only be better!

And I think Cincy is gonna like Joe!!!

And he got them Tuesday night vs Independence! CONGRATULATIONS BRYAN! thumb

Dang, who's on top of the division now? thumb JOE RANDA ROCKS!

Altoids and Eckerd's? Nothing at all to do with football... got to lock it up, sorry guys. Maybe this is why the boards go off-season...

Why can't people just accept that he's a good coach? I don't like him because of him being the driving force behind the pub-priv split IMO (but don't anyone speak on that here... I'll be glad to chat it up with you on the Pub-Priv board if you like)... but even still, I recognize that the man is an AWESOME coach. People just don't like ya when you're good. I guess Bobby Cox has been bending the rules down in Atlanta, too? (And I'm NOT a Braves fan...)

Dang it... they do that at Franklin, too! I didn't know I was supposed to be playing football, too! Missed out on my chance...

They're capable of doing it often... but yeah, sure, as I've admited we need some stronger pitching. I just have a real good feeling we're gonna make some type of move to beef that up. We'll just have to see... GO REDS! thumb

How do the Big Red look this year? Will they be part of the first D-II games in the 'Boro?
