AA rules

The center fielder had an MRI yesterday. Pretty sure she has torn ligaments in her knee, but wont know until get the results back Thursday. The left fielder had a concussion and pretty bad case of whiplash. She is getting better daily but is still awfully sore.

Could raider2 be a former Meigs player during their title run in the 90's who now coaches high school ball in AAA?

I can assure you that the young lady you are referring to has to much class to get on here with you Central and Polk folks and talk about your respective teams. She always has, and always will, do her talking on the court. Her record speaks for itself, both as a player and as a coach.

It certainly would have helped if Central would have chosen to play in a high profile holiday tourney instead of the Chatt. best of preps. Not sure what the thinking was there. Need to step out and face high level competition outside the district so you're not in shock when you DO come across that close game that is surely to come. Just my opinion and we all know what opinions are worth.

OUTSTANDING play by Meigs County. They are to be commended for that game. Seq. just could not shoot well tonight. I figured they would with their crowd and their home floor. I was hoping 6AA could have some representives in the Region Monday. How many Seniors do Meigs have?

Meigs has 1 senior.

Still need 1 team to complete field.

Top !!!!!!!!!!

Could you post the dates and the contact info for this tourney please??

 

Yes tournament is on! Will probably be played at Warner Park, still waiting on final word from them.

Could you post the dates and the contact info for this tourney please ??

That might be the biggest upset of the year around Chattanooga so far. Maybe Cleveland's coach thought it was an alumni game and suited up.

If you will take a look at Polk's non-district schedule this was not that big of an upset. They do have an impressive win-loss record but the schedule has a lot to do with that. Central is head and shoulders above everybody in this district but Meigs is MUCH improved over the last couple of years.

The 4th annual Tiger Classic softball tournament will be held March 13 & 14 at the Athens, TN Regional Park. Need 1 more team to complete the field of 16. Teams entered are: Polk Co., Union Co., Cleveland, Chatt. Central, Copper Basin, Johnson Co., Sequoyah, Bledsoe Co., Meigs Co., Tellico, McMinn Central, Notre Dame, Midway, McMinn County, and Bradley Central. Interested team please email to jeffdavis@meigscounty.net

Any idea why this team didn't go to a high level holiday tournament? I know they played in the Best of Preps tourney in Chatt. and that can hardly be considered high level. That would seem to be the best route to go to toughen up the schedule and prepare a team for tournament action. Just curious why the coach didn't see fit to enter into one.

BUMP !!!!!

Tigertrainer you really dont have a clue. No one has ever been told they were not needed. Neither offered to help after we had a player leave for another school. How many people has been turned away in your eyes? Who are you going to come up with next? Those two coaches had 1 good year and went to the state finals , 28 YEARS AGO. THE GAME HAS CHANGED. Get on board, be supportive or leave!!!!!!

 

I saw the asst job has finally been posted on TSSAA. Hopefully we will get a quality coach, teacher, and more important a good person. If Coach D is leaving at christmas they may need to hire someone before the next

semester. I hope the administration does'nt rush into a bad decision. I have'nt seen or heard about next years schedule.

Totally agree.......lots of folks need to be supportive or leave.......gonna be very hard to turn this thing around and get kids out with all the bashing going on. One correction....those supposed volunteer coaches had more than one good year, had about 4 or 5. BUT had very good athletes and mean, nasty lineman. When the cupboard started to run a little thin and a couple of relatives graduated they cut tail and ran......

Discipline Discipline Discipline! Until Coach Derrick instills it on his team they will never make it. IMO this is Central's worst enemy and it shows every game that they face adversity. As tigerpride said in another thread HIS way is not working. Coach Derrick needs to make the rules not let the team vote on anything. Running a team should be a dictatorship from the Coaches down to the players not a democracy where the players get to decide. The only vote the team should have would be captains. Maybe Coach Derrick just can't handle the pressure of making those type of decisions involving discipline. BTW WreckingCrew I was another that said this region was weak. Dang it I have agreed with a few of your posts in the last two days whats going on! I must be sick! /huh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" />

I especially enjoyed watching the Central coach stand far away from his team so that everyone in attendance could watch as he flung his arms up to the heavens every time a penalty was called on the Chargers. And the self proclaimed proudest school in the state of tennessee surely wasnt proud of the actions of that player who go ejected for running his yap at the referees 1 too many times.

I agree with you 100%. We need more coaches who don't have to be so politically correct, and who are allowed to defend themselves against parents verbally abusing them becaue lil' Johhny or Suzy Q isn't happy. Gene is as fair as anyone and he genuinely cares about his players. He could care less about their last name or who their Mom or Dad is.

Being a lifelong Meigs fan I totally agree with you. Gene is a loyal, fair, caring and intense football coach. He will reward you for hard work and punish for no work. The parents who disagree with his style are parents who never played the game. I hope he stays but fully understand if he leaves. Good luck Gene in whatever you choose.

Thank you for letting me know that - I'll be there. Can you make sure I go through the food line before Mitch Vincent and Tim Jennings go through? I want to be sure there's some food left. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Your in luck....TJ is out of town .....but your on your own with the other one....he gets there early and stays late...

Sequoyah fans: I'd highly suggest anytime you see "Meigs" and "food" mentioned, you capitalize on it. I've eaten several inexpensive pregame meals at Meigs' home games and have NEVER left hungry or disappointed. Meigs County has a very loyal following; a community pride; their teams have the best looking uniforms; and they're very graciuos host with the best cooks in the region.

 

If I wasn't going to attend the Central/Howard game, I'd be in Decatur Friday night myself.....for a good, hard-hitting football game, as well as the food!

Come on over Wreck.....we are playing on Thursday....

BINGO!!!!

Some former Meigs players who played in the SEC and NFL recently offered to come in and help get things back on track.

 

They were turned down. They were told their help was not needed.

 

They didn't say they wanted to take over,, Just help out.

Somebody needs to tell these 2 guys that they volunteered to help because after asking them neither one remembers doing so...................and you find me a team full of talent and I will show you a good coach.....

A district 7-A team was practicing this week after school and this sunday afternoon . I thought the calander says first date of practice is Monday Oct 27th not the week of. Will someone set me straight.

Practice officially starts at midnight tonight. Up until then, weightlifting and conditioning was allowed as well as open gym. "Practice" was not allowed.

Wanted to tell all you Polk County fans that the Meigs Co. baseball booster club is having a chili supper starting at 5 oclock before the game. If you want a good meal at a cheap price we would love to have you. The meal is $5 and that includes homemade chili, dessert and a drink and good fellowship.

I know its the truth, just hoping we can make a little better showing. It would help if teams in Region 3 would upgrade their non region schedule.

Just hope Region 3 AAA can win a couple in the playoffs this year. About tired of hearing how much better Region 4 is.

Can't say that I blame them. I guess the future of Meigs County's sports program will be determined by the girls softball team. That's where all the money is going.

Explain yourself......the reason you can't blame them IS ? And as far as the money going to girls sports, that is just flat out funny !!

Don't think you want to travel down that road Trainer. If a kid that SHOULD be playing football but is not playing football don't blame it on the coaches. The truth is their is NOT that many athletes walking the halls at Meigs. The ones that are just do not have the commitment or "want to" to put in the work to be a member of the football team. As far as former head coaches volunteering their time to coach I say BULL. They are FORMER coaches for a reason. Either their ship has sailed or their relatives are no longer a member of our program. We have enough problems right now without any of you jumping on our coaches so lighten up and play the hand you have been dealt.

Just to throw in some facts from Coach Eller's first go around.

1991 Central 34 Meigs 6

1992 Meigs 15 Central 13

1993 Meigs 36 Central 21

1994 Meigs 36 Central 25

1995 Meigs 55 Central 16 (21-9 @ half and last 2 TD's scored by 3rd team QB) meigs state runnerup

1996 Central 27 Meigs 20

1997 Meigs 15 Central 7

NEVER has Meigs hung 60 something on Central so at least state facts when posting. This post was started by a fan from Central and joined in by others from around the state. NOBODY from Meigs has been on here crying about the score. It is Meigs' job to keep the score respectable and obviously we are going to have a long season. We can handle the adversity this season is going to bring and, as far as I know, not a single player is thinking of transferring. Public schools go through cycles with athletes and we will win or lose with our own. Central, learn to win with a little bit of class and by class I mean quit getting on here blowing your blue horns. Win a playoff game or two and then start chirping. Would also be a good idea to stick to coaching and not getting on here talking yourself up, could come back to bite you.

They play in Englewood brainiac!!!!

Actually I think its in Englewah or etowood TigerCat.......you know the SELF proclaimed Mecca of high school football......"Build it and they will come"
