Any truth to the rumor Farragut has a RB that transferred in this season that tore up JV games but was ineligible up to this point? Another horse in the stable is never a bad thing!

If Catholic thought they could win in D2, they'd move. They know they can't compete, so they're staying. Cowards.

With all respect to your QB, Cole Smith was all state as a sophomore and junior. There's no reason to think he's not going to be it again as a senior, especially as he closes in on the state record for passing yards in a career.

The last names are Gore, Nicely and Shannon.

Watching the TN Future Stars game. The 3 kids they have listed as Grace football players are all wearing helmets for other teams. What gives?

No doubt the fact that Butch Jones is already recruiting him is a factor in this as well. Butch gets to have this kid local, the mom reunites with an old friend and I'm sure is being compensated nicely with a fantastic job, certainly better than what she had out west. Call it what you want IrishBball, but it's definitely sketchy

Weird stuff happening at Catholic. Middle school football players "announcing" their committment to Catholic via social media as if they're college players. Call me a pot stirrer if you will, but cases like the big lineman from out West, or Grace's 2 best MS players coming over is why teams like Webb and CAK won't play Catholic for the time being. Too much fishy stuff.

LOL there's no way CAK hires a junior high coach...

Warriors, Who are the candidates?

Pleasure watching these seniors play the last 4 years. So much talent. Looking forward to seeing players like 12, 75, 24, 66, 8, 21, 78, 16, etc lead this program into the future. I will miss watching these boys play more than any class since the state championship classes but the future is in good hands.

You're right Warriors2011, I would never look to cause hurt feelings from any of the Warrior faithful or parents but I stand by my statement and echo gunslinger's. 63, 72, and 52 were top notch high school offensive linemen. I would replace the remaining 2 with any of the 4 I previously mentioned. You can never take away what the 11/12 team accomplished, and I'm thankful to have been able to watch them play.

Losing 71 is an extremely tough blow for the Warriors. People always point to the 2011-12 offensive line as to a major reason those state titles were won. At the onset of the season, I think CAK had 4 offensive linemen (71, 55, 75 and 70) who are better than the two underclassmen linemen who started on those teams. Losing 2 of those players to knee injuries has been as bad a blow as this team could endure, short of losing the QB.

Interesting to note, I don't think any of the schools that were placed on the board are Div. 1 privates... Which may be all the more concerning for those schools not wanting to go D2. I imagine someone like Meske will be wanting all the Knoxville privates in D2 to cut down on travel, costs, etc. Seems like this is another step in the direction of a complete split.

Amazing game tonight! Was privileged to catch the tail end of it and a quality game for sure! 330ish pounds as an 8th grader? That doesn't sound too healthy... Hopefully they can get that weight in check before it becomes a life problem... Hats of to both teams and good luck on your seasons!

"Those who can't play generally find their way up to the PA announcing position of a successful program after being rejected by another successful program and then leeches on and claim they've witnessed every meaningful moment for the last 25 years when in fact they have no clue what they're talking about" -Unknown. I think I got that quote correct...
