i've seen cash wrestle since he was in sixth grade... he's a smooth wrestler with a great mat sense. i'd put my money on him

Who's looking to be tops in the heavier weights this year in division 2? any dark horses that might pull off a surprise like wanat did last year at 89?

Why should the coach be responsible for promoting his own players? That aint his job. He is hired to win football games and I have to say our coach does one heck of a job at that. Did anyone see the state championship game? Welch had 203 yrds rushing 4TD's. Dillehay had 157 rushing and 135 passing 3TDs. B.Satterfield had over 100 yrds in punt returns. Them good enough stats for ya? So yall go ahead and shaft our players, it's gonna be ok, but I that kicked everyone's tail that they lined up against this year. Take that into consideration.

They souldn't even have this poll if it is gonna work out this way. I don't care if the coaches did not turn in stats or not, some people needed to be on the team. This just goes to show how invalid the results of this poll are. Even though TC has had people on it in the past, if they cannot get everyone to go in the same direction then they would be better off not even having their all state. I know that they voted on the team before the state championship game, but all they had to do is to watch the game and that should be evidence enough that we got shafted as did many of the best teams in the state.

Man, you guys up there are still talking trash after getting spanked by the jackets. I thought we might have earned some respect. Dodgeball? Haha. We are where we belong and should have been the whole time. We moved to 3A. Haha. Dodgeball. Boys, move up there and see how you like it. We went to 3A for money. Smith Co., Macon Co., Portland, those games will bring 7 thousand at least. Goodpasture and David Lipscomb have about 500 fans combined. Man we raked in the dough in 3A and went to the semis our first 2 years, only lost 2 games in 01 and 1 in 02. We just chalked up our 6th state championship. Dodgeball. You boys just remember you got to come to the creekbank next year and opponents on the creekbank have about a "fat kid's chance in dodgeball" there. That is if you get there.

Every winter Coach Satt opens up the door to all who want to play. I say that will probably start when they start weights which, if I know him well, next monday. Yeah, they don't rest long in Hartsville. Anyway, there will be about 55 guys start in the winter. Gradually those numbers will decrease and there will be less than 40 in spring practice. When the summer comes Coach Clint cranks it up with many long hours. What is left by season is about 30 players. HOwever, these players are hard as rocks, tough, and better conditioned than anyone in the state. They often win games early in the year because they use the no huddle to gas their opponents. A small turnout for football numberwise is not seen as a bad thing by Coach Satt as long as you have about 11-13 guys who are tough and can go both ways. All you need is 11 good ones. TC looks at teams with 70 guys and think to themselves "their program can't be that hard."

Well I've said it before and I will say it again. This year's TC team was not great compared to the TC teams of the past. OUr 97 and 98 teams were the best 1a teams that I have ever seen. Ever. This years players were not the athletes we had back then. Our first two seasons in 3a in 01 and 02 would have beaten this years team by at least 14 if not 21. This year's team was solid, played very hard, and made few mistakes. I'm quite positive that the Cloudland team in 01 would have not beaten TC in 01. TC made it to the 3a semis and beat the defending state champs that year, ending their 29 game win streak. I wish we could travel back in time and see, cause I would bet my truck on it. That mountain, run the ball every play, type of football is soo easy to stop, evidence of what happened to Hampton this year. They got blanked and those teams like that will continue to get beat if they refuse to change into a more modern offense. Football evolves like everything else and you must be willing to change

Wes Satterfield, Coach Clint's older son, was a better quarterback than Dillehay. Everyone in TC knows that. I don't agree with you one bit that Cloudland would beat TC in 01. If you think we were good this year, the 01 team would have beaten this team by at least 14 maybe 21. You obviously did not see us play that year, and I wish you would have. Too bad. You would probably think differently. Plus we had the great T.T. Harper, who won 3A mr. football the next year with Wes Satt by his side. Harper was amazing, kind of like reggie bush for usc. They were a great duo. However, AE did hold them in check pretty good.

They only have about 30 players each year anyway. I do think they will lose alot and have to regroup. Time will only tell if they will be a contender next year. But in 1A I would never count them out. Coach Satt will have them boys playing at the best of their abilities. I bet they will be back in the weight room next week. Matter of fact, I know they will, if Satt is anything like he use to be. Always hungry for more.

yes i can. we will see a repeat next year? yes i can. we will see a repeat next year? were is Cates planning to play college ball at?

i agree with that congrats to a great season, but honestly who would have thought that livingston would have made it this far? Hats off to Cates,Reeder,Vaughn, and the offensive line. Cates has my respect, did anyone see the reverse option on the three yard line in the second quarter? That was one of the best plays from a QB i have seen since Payne from Trousdale in the state championship game in 97,98. Congrats to Livingston on a great season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TC fans are the craziest people ever. It is entertaining just to stand on the fence in the endzone and hear them yell at the opposing team. They heckle the players all game long calling them out by name. I've never heard some of the names and curse words they use. That is one reason the creekbank is what it is. The creekbank is like any other field, till you have played at it and felt the electricity in the air. IT is a different type of atmosphere and the fans make it so. Hey SC also has some good fans, especially that student section. However, as a TC fan, I know that they don't get to much to cheer about when they play Hartsville. Haha, just joking, but seriously. The TC/SC game is always a great atmosphere that everyone should make an effort to watch if you haven't seen the two play yet. Do it before you die.

Ain't no way on God's green earth that Cloudland would have knocked off TC in '01. That statement is rediculous. TC beat the defending state champs, Portland, in Portland ending a 29 game win streak the week before they played AE. The game was only 7-0 at halftime and kind of fell apart for TC in the second half. Stanton was probably boosting Lunfords confidence. I hope so. Surely he doesn't really believe that. As for signees, there were 3 D1 players playing at AE that night. One of them is Corey Anderson, UT's starting fullback. He is 6'3 275 and runs about a 4.6. Oh yeah, he played DT for AE. That is how fast that team was.

.....Well dont get me wrong but temple has very good athletes and size too and i have the respect from them very much. But in an offense based around the passing game defenses have a step up on them. But i agree with those predictions and skogen and smith are just juniors!!!! But if you are going to do all state predictions look at who shut them down or did the best effort of doing so. my prediction for the cb was #11 from trousdale who covered skogen and from what i saw he did well. in there region (temples) cb's didnt do so well. but if temple was to go deeper into the playoffs i wish i could have seen how skogen could have done.

Yeah this message is for pujo and pujo alone. I see now that you are complementing our team as you should. Heck this week you had me thinking that we were going to play the Tampa Bay Bucs with Mike Alstott at fb and Cadillac Williams at tb. You claimed that we would see what power football really is and that we would not be able to stop you all. Well you were wrong, very wrong. You are eating crow and spitting feathers. Power football? Power football? What do you all call power football. Let me ask you a question, and it can be retorical because we all know the answer. Who showed who how to play power football? Who hit who? Who, at the end of the game, didn't want any more? Who won the hitting contest? Well all know the answers, there is no need for you to respond. This isn't even one of TC's best teams. Still we do the same things year in and out, we took the fight to those big boys. Heck even our receivers were running over your defense. #18 got trucked by a 155lbs. wide out. Before you, pujo, start running that mouth again, you better be able to back that stuff up. Come out of them mountains and play some real football. Now after saying that to pujo, we respect yall very much. We wish yall luck in the future and I thought you all had a good atmosphere for high school football. As I said, good luck in the future and thanks for the hospitality that we were shown.

The FRA was crazy. We had 3 TD's of 30 or more yards called back and it had rained the day before and all that afternoon. They didn't even have time to paint the field. We would have moved through 1A in '02 like a hot knife through butter. We went 13-1 in 3A that year and lost in OT in the semis on a 2 pt conversion that Fulton got across the goaline. They turned the ball over 4 times in the state finals and still only got beat 7 points the next week. I saw the 1a state championship, CPA was the slowest team to ever win a state title. T.T. Harper would have had 5 TDs at least against them. Boyd had like 9 downs inside the 10 and didn't even score. I'm sure we could have punched one of those in.

Hampton fans, I just want to let yall know that this TC team is not even one of the best we have had. I don't know if they would rate in the top 20 all time at TCHS. The team of ours that got beat in the 3A semis a couple of years ago that had T.T. Harper and Coach Satterfield's oldest son, would have backpeddled to the burro in 1A. This team that ya'll are playing friday is not in that league. However, I still don't know if ya'll realize what you are getting. This team just bumped down after playing four years in 3A. They have a lot of seniors and know how to win. They are still very athletic and are well coached and prepared. THis ain't our first rodeo either. Look for a close on friday night, but, if I was a betting man, my money would be on Hartsville.

I have a feeling TC will come out and try to pass a lot. Use their speed to their advantage and all that. But what I would like to see the most is them come out and not throw a pass and run the ball right down Hampton's throat. Now, I don't know how good Hamton is, and you don't know how good TC is, but everything will shake out Fri. If TC comes out firing on all cylinders I think we will win, but I don't know what to expect from Hampton, except for a lot of running. For that matter, I don't know what to expect from TC. But wouldn't it be nice if those Jackets could run like the old days, I've heard enough of "This is how power football is supposed to be played" by these Hampton fans. I always thought we invented power football way back in '22 with our first state title? Maybe they just teach that only in history class in Hartsville.

Hey that is always the case with Coach Satt. He is always paranoid that somebody is gonna see him practice. He won't even let the kids know who they are scrimmaging in the fall. I hear he burns every handout that he gives to the kids too because the garbage in Hartsville goes to Carthage and he thinks they are out to steal his secrets. What makes anyone think that he will give out his agenda during the playoffs. Word in Harstville is that the players don't know when they are leaving or on what day. I don't think even the assistant coaches know when, even if they do they will be fired if they tell. "A slip of the lip, sinks the ship" he use to tell us back when I played.

If yall listen to that song, I'm really not that worried about the game. That is the gayest song ever.

Last time I saw a 300lb lineman catch a running back was Michael Scriggs in the state championship for TC. He ran USJ's quarterback down from behind all the way across the field. He was the #2 recruit in the state though.

And no it wasn't against RBS. They set the record in the state championship in '97 and broke their own record in '98 verses Clarksville Academy and USJ respectively. They also racked up over 400 in the '98 semis verses South Pitt who had Eddie Moore, an all-american linebacker at UT and playing for the Dolphins right now. Now that we have added the pass, you better be well coached and prepared. Time will tell

I never claimed that TC was worldbeaters. They are not. This team would have been waxed by the Hartsville 3A teams that went to the semis. Nevertheless, they are in 1A. The difference in my mind is that you claim that if you don't win it "won't be the end of the world". In Hartsville, however, IT WILL. Football is life, this is not a game. It is much more than that. Our kids know that. THey have spent their entire lives watching their brothers and cousins win the state, idolizing their favorite players, and dreaming each day since kindergarden about taking that gold ball in their hands and kissing it. Our kids will play as if someone burnt their house down to obtain that goal. I'm sure yours will do the same. As for the comment about our kids not hitting hard in a previous post, you tell me after the game how hard they hit. We will find out who wants it most, and you hampton fans better hopes it keeps raining and that the field is a slop come fri. It might swing the advantage in your favor.

I hope it don't rain too much, or snow. We won't be able to showcase our speed as well. Maybe it will dry up. If it does, look out for them jackets to swarm to the football.
