Sorry Robjim, I was just having a little fun and obviously it got out of control. I guess a smart mouth tends to ###### people off, my bad. Anyways, back to 6-5A. The Bruins are and will be on top until somebody knocks them off, but I think that both Franklin and Dickson Co. have better chances this year. Brentwood is still very strong, but has also lost some key players from last year including Everson, Steckel, and Jones to name a few. The problem Franklin has is that it's all mental with Brentwood. As long as Brentwood maintains that mental edge Franklin will have a tough time beating them, but with the talent they have this year they will have a very good shot at turning things around. I would say the region goes to Brentwood or Franklin, but there's also an outside chance that Dickson Co. or Centennial could sneak into the picture.

I've been thinking about how to respond to you Wildcatfan. I thought of proving my point of Franklin's superiority through stats, but I have a life. I could continue to rag on BGA people and their snobbishness, but you think that's for uneducated people with no argument. I could possibly beat you up, but that also requires effort. So I've decided that we're better for two reasons. 1- We dont pay $10k a year for an education only to have half the people still end up at UT and 2- our mascot would kill your mascot. So there, I win, you lose, end of story. And Rebel27, give me a call before I have to go up in July, we need to hang out some.

Yeah, that passing scrimmage was a beatdown, but I'll tell you what the BGA fans will tell you. They'll just say that they rely on the running game. Well kids, that might work in D2-AA ball but the big boys of D2-AAA, 4A, and 5A ball would eat that up. I'll tell you what though, I'm so sick and tired of BGA people thinking they are so much better than everybody else. All ya'll do is walk around with your noses in the air and your thumbs up your @$$'s. Get a life!

In the huddle- 1,2,3, Franktown!! After beating Centennial every year- Franktown, what?!?! After losing to Brentwood- $#%@ you!!

I'm just bringing this back up to the top since noone has replied. Any info at all would be appreciated.

What is this team....travel? and whos the coach and what age group is it!?!?

I played for Franklin last year and by far the toughest guy I had to bash heads with was ya'll defensive end- #3. I saw that he was a senior last year so naturally I'm expecting he's gonna play college ball. With that much talent and athletic ablitiy I sincerely hope he is, but it would be nice if anyone can shed any light on what he will be doing next year.

It is consistently the best region in 5A. Last year the best was arguably region 6, but 4 was obviously still in it with a state runner-up in Riverdale and tough teams in Blackman and Oakland. The real question is how strong will it be in two years with Siegal opening up. Are some of the M'Boro teams gonna have to go 4A or is it just gonna lower their numbers down to average 5A size? I have no clue, but I would guess that region 4 will continue to be successful this year. We'll see in a couple of years.

After goin' to Hooters the night before. "G" was especially tired!

Used to be Franklin. Fun times and some of the best experiences of high school football. The 95 degree temp right by the river is always nice.

Derek is his name and he is one incredible athlete. The frosh team only lost one game last year and he was a huge reason behind that. There's just two problems with this transfer thing. One, Derek will not pass this year. In fact, he's not even close. That's why he's not practicing with the team and that's also why he wants to go to Page. He's under the mistaken belief that the coaches will find a way to let him play if he changes schools. The second problem with Derek is his attitude. I'm not gonna rag on the kid and I'm not gonna get into too much detail, but he has no work ethic and has a major problem with authority. He's one of the best athletes Franklin has had in quite sometime and maybe a change of scenery would be good for him, but Page definitely has their work cut out for them. I just wish Derek the best in whatever he does.

If you're talking about Franklin High then you have some wrong facts. We didn't miss any days of spring ball last year.

He can say that 'cause they are. Page has a lot of catching up to do and they're doing the best they can. They have a GREAT weightlifting coach that is doing wonders with them. Watch how much they improve in the next couple of years.

As of now, the QB getting the most snaps and almost definitely the starting job is Matt Solima. He was Reffegee's backup last year and started the Kenwood game. He has the tools to be a great pocket passer he just needs some experience. He has a better arm than Reff just not as much field savvy yet. He's fairly mobile and will be hard to bring down with his size. Like I said, experience will tell everything though.

Cause Franklin's only losses came to Brentwood. How is Germantown any different from Franklin? Their only loss came to Brentwood. And as for MBA, they had a great team and they peaked at the end. So yes, because they were the state champions in a strong division you would have to put them ahead of any team that wasn't a state champion. Screw the whole public/private thing, DIIAAA is a strong division and a state champ from there should get props. All I'm gonna say though is don't rag on the Rebels from Franklin unless you actually saw them play. If you didn't, you really can't say much. Which is why I can't say anything about MBA except to congratulate them for a state championship.

Franklin's coach nominated several players but not one got put on a team. Maybe there weren't any players talented enough to play but that's kind of hard to believe considering the season they had. The QB Josh Reffegee and the LB Cody Green are both talented enough to play in the game but that is just my opinion. Anybody else have any thoughts? And no, I'm not being bitter at all, just kinda puzzled.

Where did that come from?

I have absolutely no dog in this fight at all but I've followed the posts written by Brandon100 and they are very intelligent posts that just express his opinion. While they may not always be the same as the majority, they are not offensive and they are well thought out. I say give the guy a break. Again, this coming from someone who could care less about BA or MBA football (no offense).

Blackman fans, please just ignore that last comment. We all know you guys to be a good team with quality players so just don't even let guys like that tick you off. bhsOL, it's a shame the Franklin-Blackman game got cancelled this year. That was turning into a bit of a rivalry. Oh well, I guess ya'll will just have to beat up on B'wood.

New stadium? That's news to me. Are you talking about Franklin or Franklin County? Also, what position is available if you don't mind me asking. If you feel that is inappopriate on this board then just disregard that question.

Brentwood does deserve much praise for their season and honestly, there really hasn't been a ton of posts about them on CoachT considering that season. I'm from Franklin so I probably here the most about them and would have the best reason for being sick of Brentwood but even I can't honestly say that there has been too much talk about them. Whatever though, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

When was anything like that said on this thread? Or are you talking in general?

Yeah, I've seen them for a while. We had a little slideshow at our banquet and all those pictures plus any others we could find online were used. Pretty cool stuff I must say. I just wish Blackman would play Franklin next year but I guess the schedules just didn't work out. It was a good game the two years we played! Shady, that Sonic is a stalwart of our community. Every Thursday before a game and every Friday night after most of the team hits it up for some grub. It's become sorta a ritual. And RIVERDALE, I have a question. Where are most of the players going to Siegal being pulled from this coming year? Is it gonna hit Oakland or Riverdale harder?

Sorry, that was me on a friend's name. Us Franklin people like CoachT.

It's all in fun buddy, I take no offense to all of this. I'm proud of my Rebels and how we took it up a notch this year. You're absolutely right when you say we don't have the tradition ya'll have, but I'd be willing to put money on it that in the next couple of years Franklin will become a contender. As for me, I'm through with high school sports for good so I'll have to cheer my team on from the sideline. Anyways, I have no hard feelings toward Riverdale at all, just havin' a little fun with ya'll. You guys are way too easy to get all riled up. Almost as bad as Maryville people. But it's cool, it's just a website. And a fun one at that (thank you CoachT)!
