Disagree - although very good I would still have to go with maryville

Stone not necessarily a cream puff. played in district with alcoa cak kingston loudon - made playoffs in 2 of those years - record just not that great. went 5-5 two yrs ago. and had to play fulton in 1st rd.

receiving team has option to make you rekick if it goes out of bounds. no time is running off clock so why not just keep making them back up 5 yds and rekick. you eventually have to put the ball in play!

Until warren co gets rid of defeatist attitude they will never get over hump. - from what i've heard. they fumbled couple of kickoffs in a row, throw pick, punted into def line when they could have pinned them deep and then fumbled in overtime. sounds like to me they do things to beat themselves. part of defeatist attitude is blaming someone else!

was rhea game that bad early?

rhea by 3 scores!!! book it danno!!!!

but they do have to have big guys or especially fast guys. No X's or O's work without Jimmy's and Joes

I agree. Rankin won't stand for another sloppy performance. Alcoa big early then coast in.

my how expectations have changed in Rhea. Wouldn't have stood for this in the past. 3 wins in 2 years. totally unacceptable. can't believe changes not made. WOW!!!

Guessing he won't - can't stop that "prehistoric offense" though. makes defense be tough for 4 quarters. some kids won't do that. then "bad things man - bad things". I got the brentwood dinosaurs big.

I'm with you -- wouldn't alot of people like to be one of the last 16 in their class every year!!!

Am I reading tssaa site correctly that proposed districts will be put out soon on website. realize this isn't final but what is being proposed to board. I know that on fifteenth is when board will finalize districts - but is says on 25th staff will prepare proposed disctricts and will be sent to board and then to schools and put on site.

thought the Tssaa was supposed to release the dividing spot for the 3 classes today. anyone have any info on that?

not wrong unless the principal of stone lied!!!

why do you assume cumb. co would go west. really doesn't matter where you request tssaa does what they want to. Stone requested to go west 4 yrs ago with york livingston etc because of time zone and look where they are. If they move up and you move down what makes you think you would just not switch districts. Stone currently has 6 teams in the district, they will not move you guys into a district with 7 or 8 teams and leave the other one with 5 if stone moves up. just my take on things.

things will not change anytime soon. been at about 7 yrs since jets been any good. 2 coaches there that were very demanding but people didn't like that. both went to playoffs but still given hard time. one of them coaching at elem. school now and parents are mad cause he makes them work hard and be at prac.

so are you saying that J. smith would have been the difference on D against rush offense. What def. starters were out or just offensive guys. What was score at half. first 2 games were not close at half i don't think.

46 - 34 cak - was it close or did cak get big lead and coast in?

Easy guys. Blueangel51 is actually a former jet who still has ties there. (hence the name Blueangel) you know the jets and they have a Navy Blue Angel plane outside their school. You're right he is a football fan but please don't take him as a stone fan. He's probably right, stone not ready to be in top tier of district just yet, but trying to get better just like everyone else. Look for them to be physical and sound maybe not as athletic as CAK. Cak tries to win the way they think best and stone tries to win the way they think best. Neither is necessarily right or wrong just different philosophies. Good luck to both- play clean and hard and both do what you do best.

what has happened to sweetwater football. discipline, talent, commitment?

what's the injury report. neither team with a lot skill, one player could really hurt.

coaches will have boys attention again this week. too much talent and now it's ticked off talent. admirals big.

If they would pound the rock with that veteran OL, it would not allow teams to double the WR's. he had good year last year because teams had to sell out to stop the run.

if you keep changing coaches and things don't change, don't you think it might be the players. It takes work. not just going to the weight room, but working when you're there and taking care of your body outside of school. Just a thought.

They have only had a varsity team for 2 years and haven't fared very well. I don't know what they have coming back. I think their region schedule is Alcoa, kingston, Scott, CAK, and loudon (order?) Thier reg is still pretty tough for them. Them and Scott are the only 2 4A teams, but the 3A people are pretty good. Not sure who they have as non-region other than CCHS. Who are the new coaches and new everything you are talking about.
