How is the softball team looking for next season?

I do not know who Indian is talking about either, but chances are those kids were probably zoned Soddy-Daisy to begin with and had "just showed up" at Red Bank because they had a better program. And it is a shame what is about to happen with that 8th grade class from Loftis this year, that is unless a coaching change is made soon.

Yeah, he sort of reminds me of Derek Dooley.

Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it too much. It will be a few years until mine is in high school. I may just have to travel a little farther to see my nephews play. Somewhere like Baylor or Hixson.There is a pretty dog gone good 3 sport athlete going to be a freshman somewhere next year.

There are good football players walking the halls or going elsewhere to play because of the INCOMPETENT COACHING ABILITY of those fine men trying (not because of lack of community support). There is a fine group of football players at Loftis right now in the 8th grade. They are headed somewhere. They would love to play for the Trojans, but rumor has it a couple may be headed to Baylor and a few to Hixson if changes are not made soon. I do not blame them one bit. I refuse to believe that Soddy-Daisy can't be competitive in football when they are competitive in just about every other sport that they participate, including bowling and skeet shooting. Furthermore, it is beyond just losing a football game. When you think you have to fight to prove something, then there is something very wrong. Unfortunately the kids have not been taught any better because some of the COACHING STAFF has been in fights. And yes it is past time the principal acts. This has been going on for more than one year.

If something don't come out by Monday, it is time for a new principal.

I agree. There have been more than one "scuffle" over the past 2 or 3 years with other teams. One that comes to mind is the Signal Mountain 7-7 fiasco. All along I thought the instigator was Price, but now I have to wonder. This is just pathetic. Soddy-Daisy is the laughing stock of the Chattanooga area.

The Hixson coach has already been after some of those "borderline" athletes.

What happened with less than 30 seconds to go in the first half pretty much proves the coaches do not have a clue.

If the fans at SD have to start blaming the cheerleaders and band for losing a football game, then the "football" program is in worse shape than I ever imagined. SD don't need new coaches they need a new band director and cheerleading sponsor!! Come on people, the buck stops at the coaching staff (and possibly the administration).

You do not know how many of those 3 and outs, pick 6's, etc would have turned into ball control TD's and running the clock. I don't know if it would have made that much difference either, but a GOOD coach should be able to recognize what gives his team the best CHANCE at winning. Edwards with the ball, considering what he did last year, was clearly the path to take (even out of the "I" more often I might add-a different subject) And what the heck is up with deciding 9 games into the season to play Edwards at linebacker? He looked pretty dog gone good out there. Yet again, if you are not going to work him more on offense throughout the year he should have been playing defense (more often) from game 1. It also still bugs me as to why Soddy-Daisy can have so many sports, both boys and girls, that are on a state competitive level and have two of the worst in the area in football and boys basketball. Something tells me the talent is at the school (or was) to have a much better football and boys basketball teams. It starts with coaching. Maybe next year. Too bad the coaches are not all Seniors!!

Edwards should have had more touches throughout the year period. That is not "players executing".

"Everybody does it."

No wonder he was fired. Everybody knows if Brainerd is in Signal Mountain's zone, then north Alabama is in South Pittsburg's zone. Geeeez.

I am totally convinced that humble pie must taste horrible and very difficult to swallow. Sequatchie, be careful of a warrantless and classless revenge trap.
