I would like to see them promote David Barger from assistant to the head coaching position. He has 10+ successful years of head coaching experience. His wife is the basketball coach so he isn't going anywhere and he has a excellent football and coaching mind. He's a veteran coach that kids gravitate to and given a opportunity will have Stewarts Creek playing a new brand of exciting and winning football. Other coaches will like working for him because he's a team player...and cares!
You make a very good point. Speed can be a devastating factor. I haven't watched Meigs play but to be as good as they are without speed tells me they play very good technique ..which is a must vs speed. You have to play very discipline defense vs SPHS. You also better bring your big boy pants and hit them or your beat. South Pittsburgh could very well win this game. I was just running my mouth giving a opinion...lol
Meigs beats Greenback and South Pittsburgh...IMO. They apparently have a Mr. Football difference maker! I just think next year will be Meigs year..just a feeling?? I think South Pittsburgh will make a run in 1A..but head to head Swafford is the difference.
Even if you do lose a game it would probably be Meigs or Red Bank. Neither hurt anything but pride..no playoff damage and tough valuable knowledge hopefully learned. If you win them you just serve notice to Greenback, Cornersville..Huntington..etc.
I really like there schedule. The addition of Meigs and Red Bank will be good test. It's good to see Red Bank playing some of the valley teams. I just wish they were going to South Pittsburgh to get the valley atmosphere too! They will be surprised at there place when SPHS brings as many people as they will have or more. It's also good to see Grundy back against at least one valley team they haven't been playing.
You guys have a good team but my gosh. You won ever stat but the scoreboard...you needed to score 8..not 6. I know it's hard...the "what it's" and "should haves" are getting old. You lost a game you couldn't close because of the determination of Whitwells players. That's why it was such a good game..Whitwell "refused to lose!"
From what I got out of here and we know coacht is the wealth of football knowledge..lol. Huntington should be good. They talked like Lake County was young this year..so watch for them. I think Cornersville lost a lot?? Not sure?? If Rice has anything at Wayne County then he will make them good.
You do have to give Cornersville a "good job" acknowledgement!! When you outgain a team 308-122 you should win? Whitwell just kept bending but not breaking and hanging around. Then got the opportunity they needed and took advantage of it. It was just going to be there year. A team of Destiny!! 7-6 is good as 50-6...lol State Champions!!
WHITWELL "TIGERS" 2018 1A STATE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS!!!!Feels good don't it boys? You deserved it...you hung around a did just enough. Give Cornersville credit. They controlled most of the game but wasn't getting points. Whitwell scored they went up and played great defense when they had too!! Congratulations Whitwell!!
Don't know much about Greenville but did watch your game yesterday. Awesome team! You could tell they had a great weight program. What I would really like is for there QB to drop Air Force and go to Tennessee! He would start right now!
