They also have a passing league at Trenton Peabody. Westview, Gibson County, Dyer County, and Lake County are usually in the league also.

I have found that playing a split 4 can effectively stop the wing-t offense. I mean a split 4 not a base 4-4. Put your DT's in 3 techniques and DE's in 7 techniques. Your two inside linebackers should be A -gap players, and your outside linebackers should play four yards deep and four yards outside the DE's. You have effectively taken away the traps and the sweeps, which are the bread and butter of most wing-t offenses.

Most high school players don't understand what creatine is supposed to actually do for you. They don't understand that creatine allows you to work out longer which makes you gain strength and body mass. They think that just by taking it they will get bigger. Therefore a ton of kids that take it don't see the gains they were expecting. Personally I think that you should achieve what you can on your own.

What people never want to talk about is that researchers do not know what will happen if your body stops producing creatine naturally. People have not been taken creatine long enough for this to be researched adequately. Coaches are pumping this down kids throats because of the results it produces, without really knowing what happens over an extended period of time. If the research shows that it is not harmful in any way I am all for it, until then I will not recommend it for anyone.

I would have to say that Milan and Westview have two of the best fields in West Tennessee.

yellowdude I see nothing wrong with rewarding good seasons with playoff berths in any sport. Since you mentioned basketball I think that if you lose a game in the region tournament you should go home. Our society is afraid to teach kids that not everyone wins all of the time. Reward good teams and let the crappy ones stay home.

yoduse you make some valid points iI have to admit, but you did not address the fact that we have too many crappy teams in the playoffs every year. We need to aloow only the first and second place teams to qualify becasuse they have earned the right to be there. We are teaching our kids that a very mediocre season is playoff worthy, is that going to transfer to the real world?

I think that it is always good to have some form of governing body in athletics because believe it or not there are people in our profession that will bend the rules. That being said I think that the primary focus of the TSSAA is to make money. Why do you think that there are so many bad teams that qualify for the playoffs? Because of the extra number of games that can be played and the cash that can be made off of these games. I have never seen a 2-8 team that was playoff worthy.

sneakypete I just think that the emphasis needs to be more on the explosion lifts. These lifts are going to make kids better football players than the bench press ever will. I am not against the bench press, I just don't think it should be emphasized like it is.

I was not saying that the bench press is unnecessary. I understand that it is beneficial to a player's confidence, as well as to his upper body strength. I just think that the lifts that make you support the weight with nothing but your body weight are going to be more beneficial to your total body strength.

I was just wondering why we all put so much emphasis on the bench press? I understand that the bench is the first thing everyone wants to talk about when they hear weight lifting, but unless you walk around with a bench supporting your back isn't this lift a little overrated. I think we should emphasize the power clean and the parallel squat more in our programs. What do ya'll think?

It is great to have a good quarterback who can throw the ball, but I think the running back is more vital to winning the majority of football games. Teams that throw the ball all over the field tend to be soft when it comes to crunch time and you need to run the clock out. So give me the running back.

Who are the best single A baseball teams around West Tn? I think Halls, Greenfield, and Trenton ought to have pretty good years. I still can't believe that Greenfield is going to field a team. I thought they would drop the program after losing their "legend in his own mind" coach.
