  1. Regardless of the scrimmage setup Coach Davis will be looking for toughness and effort. He will not be so concerned with mistakes scheme wise because he knows the kids are still learning. If they show good effort and toughness the wins will come this the fall.
  2. I think Hunter Raby, Jason Jenkins, and Caleb Norwood will also be joining the staff.
  3. Larry Davis (retired teacher) and Rusty Brewer were the two. All others were volunteers and had work or school outside of the county. It would really help Coach Brewer if the county stepped up and hired some teachers that could coach but that isn’t going to happen.
  4. I don’t think people realize that Derrick only had two paid assistants at Polk Co. It’s a wonder he was able to do as well as he did. So yes, you are correct, no staff coaches are coming from PCHS because the only teacher he had on his coaching staff was Rusty Brewer and he is now the HC at PCHS.
  5. It won’t be a basketball school in a few years if Derrick Davis takes this job. You have never seen anybody that works as hard as he does. You may beat his football teams but it won’t be because the kids are not prepared.
  6. Everyone needs to know that Coach Davis's resignation is not about soccer. Actually, it goes much deeper and there are things that led up to Coach Davis's decision that I would never put on a forum out of respect to those involved. I will touch on one thing about the soccer field. When the soccer program started using the football practice field the soccer coaches had no problem with it, it was the parents that did the complaining. Not one person talked to Coach Davis about using the football field for soccer games until a small group of parents whose kids had reached high school and played soccer. One parent said "We are going to play on your field, if not you will be sorry". The school system was giving the soccer team options to build a new field and one of those parents said "I don't care if you build us the Taj Mahal of soccer complexes we are going to play on Larry G. Davis field". This same parent applied for the head football coaches position when Coach Davis got the job 19 yrs. ago (he had no real coaching experience) and he has hated the Davis family ever since and is now working in Central Office. Let's say you are a coach and have worked tirelessly to keep the field and facilities in the best shape possible and then a group of parents from another sport comes and tells you what is going to happen on the field that you take care of through blood, sweat, and tears, not to mention the money it takes for weed control, over-seeding, fertilizer, aeration, and mowing twice a week from spring through fall. Keeping up a field done right cost a lot of money and is hard work. What if the soccer coaches had come to Coach Davis and said if we use the field we will split the cost of expenses and help maintain the field? That never happened because the soccer coaches were glad to play on the football practice field that Coach Davis kept mowed and watered for them to use. All they had to do was line it off for games. How much money has this small group of parents raised for a soccer field to be built? I will say one more thing and I'm done with about the soccer issue, but this shows you some of the character of these parents. I know of one soccer dad that went out and raised money for the soccer team to travel, provide meals and lodging for the state tournament. When he gave the money to the soccer coaches he demanded that his family get free rooms since he raised the money and pitched a fit with the coaches until he got his way. That should tell you all you need to know!!! Again, this is not the sole reason Coach Davis resigned but you can see a pattern of what he has been dealing with for the last 5-6 years. People are sometimes blind or spineless when it comes to standing up for what is right. (i.e. the superintendent.)
  7. Amen to this post by SPHS09!!!! Most people in Polk Co. feel the same way you do. It's just a hand full of idiots that share Chuck's thoughts. I know wherever Derrick lands that they will appreciate him more than was he was ever appreciated by administration at his alma mater.
  8. How did the game turn out last night? I hope it was a close game.
  9. Polk Co. vs East Ridge and Polk Co. vs. Red Bank in the Lady Raider Classic on March 22nd and 23rd were not played.
  10. Polk Co. against Rhea Co. on March 11 was rained out and will not be made up. Polk Co. at Bradley Co. on March 18 was rained out and played on March 20. The final score was Polk 8 Bradley 2.
  11. Where are all the Basin faithful? I guess the truth hurts and they can't think of any good excuses. Maybe they can play an all out of state schedule next year and will be able to go undefeated.
  12. I would like to know one thing. Why wouldn't Coach Satterfield shake hands with the Polk staff after the game? He just walked straight off of the field into the dressing room. Was he upset that Polk didn't throw one pass in the second half or was he upset that Polk's JV's took three knees inside the 10 at the end of the game to keep from making the score 46 - 0?
  13. This has been a good thread until Ryan Qualls gets on here and starts running his mouth. He has about 20 different screen names. Central fans please ignore his comments, he is just jealous that he was not tough enough to make it in football and some of these Polk players are tough enough and are even better baseball players than he was. There is one thing that he was able to make all-state in and that was cooking hotdogs and face painting. If he doesn't make the baseball team at RSCC maybe they will let him cook them some dogs and wave the team flag when someone hits a home run. /roflolk.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflolk:" border="0" alt="roflolk.gif" />
