Bulldog Fan #2

At least Greeneville isn't scared to play Alcoa. Sm should be on dancing with the stars for the moves they made to keep from playing the Tornadoes.

Good Luck to the Dawgs tonight when they take on the Henry Co. Patriots in the jamboree. Hope everybody stays healthy!!!

Mayfield whipped Milan good last night. I would be very excited if I'm a Cardinal fan this year. You guys look to be strong but fast, to go along with balance on both sides of the ball. Milan will be fine. Do they have a lot of work to do? Yes, a ton. But I feel sure the players and coaches can get it done. We don't care about the score of a scrimmage but we do care about competing every play Last night that just didn't happen. The Dawgs will be ok but the next few days are probably going to be pretty intense.

The Bulldogs scrimmage the Mayfield, KY tonight at Johnnie Hale Stadium. Hopefully both teams can get their work in with no injuries. Milan should be good this year and has the talent to make a deep November run. What is everyone's opinion? Can they reclaim the district title from Westview?

Marshall Co. vs Camden - I'll take Marshall Co. just because of the new coach at Camden Westview vs Lexington - Lexington in this one. Milan vs Henry Co. - Milan

That depends on how big our lead is. If the younger kids play alot of snaps in the 2nd half, we will give up some points. IMO our starting D gives up 80 points or less in regular season

Milan Bulldogs - Don't think the defense will give up more than 10 in the first half of a game this year.

I agree - I think they will be 4A at least by the end of the next classification period. Of course knowing the TSSAA, they will change the system by then.

I don't really see that happening. First, HC is always a force when they step on the field and anybody that follows Milan knows they don't really care about the result of a jamboree or scrimmage as long as we show we can compete. They use it mostly as an game time evaluation. Henry County may do the exact same or may play all out to win. I really don't know enough about them to say. I do know this Milan team is very talented!! It's gonna be a fun year to be in the Purple & White.

Hello there GCP!!! It's almost that time again. Can't wait to see the teams hit the field this year. I had heard that Phillips wasn't playing football this year. Just something I heard a month or so ago. He may be there with the team everyday, he was agood talent for sure. I hope down the road the Hornets can put a good team on the field consistently. The Bulldog's need a new rival and this one could be a natural seeing as close as they are located to each other.

I wish Camden the best but I don't really see them hanging with DL in week 0. I am worried about the Lions being able to keep the success of the past going.

It is great to have another Gibson County team to throw in the mix this year. I know there is a ton of excitement about the new program and I can't blame you. Now being excited and being sucessful are 2 different things. You guys stand a chance to have a respectable 1st year. I only see 3 games that I think you have a good shot of winning this year. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade but your team is in for something they haven't seen before, Class AA football. You should be able to handle Gibson County in my opinion but you can bet they don't want to lose to the new guys on the block. I can't see you beating anyone else in District 13AA play but you never know. 3 wins really isn't that bad in the big picture. If you get more than that everyone will be impressed with your program. Gonna be a long year.

The game will be played on Oct. 14th. Can't wait..............

Looking forward to it already!!!

I couldn't make it to the scrimmage but I would imagine the Dawgs will be just fine come this fall. I know Milan started a freshman at QB yesterday,(Other 2 QB's playing baseball) Don't really know much else about the scrimmage but heard the Bulldogs looked to be deeper than last year. Way too early to know where everyone will shake out. I am already looking forward to the upcoming season. Good luck to Lexington also!!

He just announced he is going pro and will enter the draft.

Read today that Coach Ward has accepted the Head Coaching position at Crockett County. I think this will bring new energy to the Cavs football team. I really don't see much of a drop-off since they both run very similar offense's. Camden could be in trouble depending upon who they hire. Ward built the program into a high level AA program. It will be hard to keep that sucess going without Ward there. Predictions for 2011 - Crockett Co. 9-1 Regular Season , Camden 8-2 Regular Season but early playoff exit.

#1 - with a multiplier Alcoa would be in 4A #2 - I agree with your assesment of the 4 county schools. If I resided in the area my child would attend Maryville or Alcoa. That, we do agree on.

Knox County?

Man, even you don't really beleive that statement!!! Gibson Co. has 6 high schools in a county of 48,000 people. Alcoa is 1 of 4 high schools in a county of over 105,000 people. Plus you have a major metro right next door with a pop. of over 423,000. Now you infer that you don't draw kids from Knox county but you know you do. Heck I remember you guys getting a stud all the way from Jefferson Co. years ago. Don't think the yellow bus picked him up though. You just trying to play good defense by playing agressive offense. I have seen both situations and it's not close. That doesn't mean it is illegal!! It's just not apples vs. apples. That's ok though, it is what it is and our goal in 2011 will be the same it is every year. Win the State Championship!!!

Milan Special School District recently implemented a policy that drug tests all athletes 3 times per year.

IMO I can see him going. The biggest issue being he has done about all he can in Camden. He would have a larger pool of athletes at Crockett, it is a bigger school. He would be somewhat comfortable with the administration since one of his direct bosses would be a past Milan Bulldog teammate. If it happens I wouldn't be shocked.....

Have heard same thing. Would be great for Crockett but terrible for Camden.

I hear Milan is still looking to fill one slot? You may know if it has been filled. Teams on the 2011 schedule include: Martin Westview Crockett Co. Gibson Co. South Gibson Haywood Covington Ripley Trenton Humboldt The first 4 teams are in our 13AA east pod. The second 3 teams are out of the 13AA west pod. Humboldt & Trenton are county rivals. I beleive we host Trenton to open the season in week 0.

Congrats to the Cougars on the well deserved win. You guys hit us in the mouth early and we were staggered. Can't give a good team that big of a lead. Our D gave up 20 so needforspeed was right. Good luck next week vs. the F5
