Maybe, May Not Be...We have fewer and way fewer student athlets than anyone else in the entire region but recently we have seen more heart and determination in our Cougar athletes than most any one else in our region and even in our State. We may not be the No.1 team to beat this year in 2006, but mark my words all you preppy , snobby think you are up town when you really are nothing more than a has been or a want to be...Copper Basin Cougars have heart, determination and PRIDE no matter if it is a win or lose we know we are Back with a Vengence!!! This is Cougar Mom and everyone knows that Moms are always right.....................

Here is a reply from a basin fan. We have had many good teams in the last 15 years. In 2005 Basin should have won at south pit. but had a TD called back and very poor coaching calls. The problem has been the past coach at basin who is now gone. He played favorites and there where probly 20 kids walking halls that would tell him that there was no way they would play for him, most of these kids would have been a great help. They have had some players that was very good and went on to play colege ball. The new coach "Dailey" started with a program that had no money "where did it go"? The booster club raised 21,000 from June till August to buy new equipment. Many new kids came out, some stayed some quit, because, basin football is now hard work and never quit attitude. Quiters and people who lay down are replaced and will not be put up with. They have had 4 B team games all ready, that was more than they had in the last 5 years, The Off. & Def. has been completely changed. For years you could sit in the stands and call the first 20 plays every game because they never changed. Full back up the middle and sweep around the right end and tailback off tackle. The players get weekly scouting reports and the other teams players photos as posted on the wall each week. This is the best prepaired Basin team in the last 15 years. They should have beat Whitwell, they lost 14 to 16 and lost 4 fumbles and one of them was was at their on 3 yard line fixing to score and a interception around the 10 fixing to score. The Score this week ?? S.Pit is very fast and well coached as always. Basin could surprize them with the differnce in this team. Sorry for the long post

i think basin keeps this one closer than most people think with a pretty good defense but south pitt may have too much speed

Im gonna go with Basin 13-7

watch out for copper basin they are returning 13 seniors and with a new coach could really suprise people

1. South Pitt 2. Whitwell 3. Copper Basin 4. Lookout Valley 5. Temple 6. Silverdale 7. Grace

lol sorry buddy basin won 5 more than yall

the fans and community hope so

We are glad to finally be able to move on. Pat Dailey is a good coach and should be able to do alot with the program. The kids and the fans never wanted to quit playing Polk Co. This is a rivalary should have never stopped. It is a very good money game to both schools and is just tradition. Hopefully coach Dailey will be able to get it started again. We look for great things to happen with this team.

Best of luck to the new coach and Basin on this up and coming season

I heard MArk Stone recently fired from Copper Basin is the front runner. If tellico takes him good luck to both

I would have to go with this 1. South Pitt 2. Whitwell 3. Copper Basin 4. Temple 5. Grace 6. Silverdale

Polk lost a lot of seniors so offense may not be as good but should still be good but i believe that haden browder will be a much better qb than last years

HA! You wish

They will play again. Last time when polk decided to quit playing basin the rivalry was renewed a few years later and it will be agains soon. the answer to why basin quit playing is simply basins coaches, the fans and players want the rivalry to continue so i see it starting back up in a few short years

With all do respect cargotrailer. Speed does kill and Polk doesnt have a lot of it. Yes do have some good athletes. Hamby is not all that fast ive played against him and he is a friend of mine but he is still a very good back. I if Polk contains Ladd then they will pound White House to death and win by 2 touchdowns.

Polk is big and strong, a power team. They dont have a whole lot of speed but they make up for by playing very hard

With the exception of maybe south pittsburg Coalfield was the best competition Basin played all year, they were very strong and well coached, it was a good game for a half until Basin ran out of gas, the only advantage South Pitt would have over Coalfield is athletes and speed

Basin gave temple one heck of a game and probably should of won, they were able to run the ball all night but hats off to temple for shocking basin and running the ball well. Temple should beat Grace by 3 touchdowns ive seen em both play and Basin played a terrible game and still shut out Grace

Polk and ND are both very good teams. Polk is more of a power team while ND is very quick. This game could be a toss up but im going with ND in a very close, physical game because of one thing. SPEED KILLS.

Copper Basins old coach John Mullinax " Bite off more than you can chew and chew like heck!"

Copper Basin over Grace 13-0

Whitwell by 2 touchdowns

whitwell by 2 or 3 touchdowns

Polk wins. Davis is a good coach and they wont lose two in a row
