  1. Agreed.

     

    I was working this weekend and watched the finals online.

     

    It that this is the same ole song and dance every year. Usually from the same people who claim to be experts but do not offer their services for the betterment of the sport. Instead they post to complain about those who do give back to a sport that has made them better human beings.

     

    Every year kids across the state give their blood, sweat and tears for a sport that is unforgiving as it is rewarding, without any promise of how it will end. The only thing that can be guaranteed is that the harder they work and sacrifice, the better chance they will have at determining the outcome on their own.

    AMEN!

    Thanks for this comment, we are not the evil that alot of folks have said we are. I was so impressed with Blackman HS. I spoke with several of your kids after the game and told them how good they had played. They told me that we were the best "small" team that they had played. Thanks for the post! :thumb:

    I've been trying to find out why Signal didn't go to the playoffs? I'm sure it is in this thread but have mot found it yet. Thanks

     

    I googled it. Sad for your Senior players.

    Good Luck in the future.

  3. Raised in Middle TN.

    I've been blessed to watch some great football from West to East TN. We lived in Kingsport for 2 years and became a fan of your great program in that short period.

    IMHO-you have the greatest football atmosphere in the STATE.

    Good Luck and Go Tribe!

  4. I just want to say im excited we got this far, I cant wait to travel to maryville. I've never been- so it should be fun! I'm sure it will be a great game!!:)

    You will like the Maryville Field! Has that old time football fill to it. The way Friday Night Football should be. The top spots I have watched football 1. Kingsport DB, 2. Maryville 3. Oak Ridge.

    Enjoy the beauty of east TN!

  5. We better not get over confident. This Farragut team is good, plenty good enough to beat us. If they don't have the critical turnovers against DB, I think they would have beaten a very good DB team last week. I also know that in their scrimmage with AE they moved the ball up and down the field easily. And AE has one of the better defenses in the area, they are loaded with big, strong, fast and experienced defenders. Farragut is very good at the zone read stuff. We will have to play very well to beat them.

     

    I know our coaches are aware of how good these guys are and I hope they can get the kids to believe that. I think the teams are pretty evenly matched and it will be a very close game. Fewest turnovers wins this one.

    Good call ORK!

  6. You d-1people are living in a fantasy world. Some of the picks are laughable. There is a big difference in the quality of opponents in some of these schools. What's worse is some of your pics were beaten by their d-11 counterparts. I can assure you Baker, Duncan, Doster, Holloway all win. Check out their results when they wrestled. The Holloway kid got better and better through the year. I think the new Baylor Heavy would win as well. The Bradley guys have wrestled 0 competition other than Soddy and Cleveland. I think Manley beats Lewis. Ask some people in the know because I'm positive they have practiced together. when I get home I'll do a little research but I say d-2 wins this dual easily.

    You can't go on prior matches all the time. We have all seen big defeats at State (D-1 and prior to the split) over the years. It's about peaking at the right time. Being healthy etc. When State was all under one tourney (private vs public) traditional tourney champs was close. Take out McCallie years they dominated it's about even.

    1994-97 was won by now D-1 programs. Prior to the split back to back was Overton. With the strenth of Bradley, SD, Clev, Frank, Clks over the last 10 years it would have been fun to seen who finished 1st. The split was a mistake IMHO!

  7. I can!!! Congrats to Dickson and Tommy Badon for making state!!! Go Cougars!!!

    Congrats to Dickson, I been reading good things about them this year but have not seen them wrestle. I don't remember seeing them at State Duals in the last 10 years so it should be a treat for them. good luck.
