Not seeing much about the Devils. My kids have graduated, so I'm not getting any kind of information about the team and individual players. Anyone with general knowledge of the program care to share the outlook of the upcoming season. Maybe who to watch out for this year and what we should expect to see on the field.

COME ON DOGFISH, A 4-6 RECORD DOESNT DESERVE TO MAKE THE PLAYOFFS. JUST LIKE A 6-6 TEAM (VANDY) DIDNT DESERVE A BOWL GAME, AND IM A VANDY FAN. YOU SHOULDNT REWARD MEDIOCRACY. IM NOT BASHING SYCAMORE BECAUSE IF WHITE HOUSE FINISHED 4-6 OR EVEN 5-5 THEY SHOULDNT HAVE MADE IT EITHER. BUT THESE DAYS THEY HAVE SO MANY BOWL GAMES THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO DO MUCH TO GET IT ONE. LOOKS LIKE THE TENNESSEE PLAYOFFS ARE THAT WAY ALSO NOW IF 4-6 TEAMS MADE IT. ACTUALLY, I REMEMBER LAST YEAR SOME TEAMS WITH POOR RECORDS GOT IT. IT SEEMS TO ME TEAMS SHOULD HAVE TO EARN POST SEASON TRIPS. But when you hear the stories of the 2-8 or 3-7 still going, that's not even worth discussing. And there's some teams with winning records that don't really deserve a shot but that's neither here nor there. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me if Porter gave in to #10. If you'll read the post just above your orginal question, you'll see the answer..... Nope, Coach Porter didn't give in and play Greenwade.

White House - 4 Greenbrier - 0

If we don't start playing a little more inspired football and quick, I don't know that the Devils will cover the 25 point spread you are predicting. We have to start tackling a lot better, getting our passes down to where the receivers can have a shot at a catch and when the passes are catchable, the receivers have got to make the catch. I know the field condition was horrible last week, but if we don't play any better than we did Friday night, we may be watching the playoffs. Just have to make things work the way we have done them in the past and we'll be fine.

Thanks for the update. Hoping to see a good game tonight on a larger and dryer field than the last time we played Greenbrier. Nasty conditions during our last match.

What was the score of the Clarksville Academy vs Greenbrier game last night? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

After watching station camp last week against the Blue Devils and seeing them barely beat a team that was missing several skilled players, I think Beech will win this game. camp doesn't have any offense. If not for bad snaps on punts by the Devils and setting camp up inside the 10 yard line last week, camp probably doesn't score. I haven't seen Beech play this year, but if they can avoid setting up camp with a short field, I mean really short, they shouldn't have too much trouble with them.

I saw where Greenbrier gave up 28 points to a very predictable Portland offense. Is Greenbrier's defense that suspect? If so, I see huge numbers being posted on the scoreboard.

I believe it was #7 for the panthers that was ejected for unsportmans like conduct. Not sure what he did, but a 30 step-off took place right after the two flags.

White House 1 Gallatin 0 Very nice win for the Lady Devils.

How important to the panthers is the young man that got tossed from the game against White House last Friday night? If I understand correctly, he won't be eligible to play against the bison. I'll be pulling for portland Friday night but I feel station camp will come out on top.

Then I hope you had a good laugh cause that is exactly what I'm saying !!!!!

You heard correct. Apparently they weren't agreeing with the calls being made on the field by the officials and proceeded to mouth about it. I know one panther was ejected from the game. There was extra pushing and shoving after the plays from both teams, but when you mouth at the refs, out comes the hanky.... I figured the game would have a little of that going on, but IMO portland took it to the next level when the score started to get one-sided and it cost them on the field. Not a very classy showing by the boys in purple!!!!

I'm nervous about the upcoming season, but still look forward being in the stands on Friday nights pulling the my Devils.... Like it's already been stated, there isn't the same excitement in the air like there was last year and it's because there are so many uncertainties for this squad. Coach Porter and his staff will get the best out of the boys they put on the field every night and as a fan, that is all you can ask out of the team.

My son told me about his passing the other night and I couldn't believe my ears. While my son played basketball and soccer at White House, I can't remember a handful of games that I didn't see Tim there in the stands supporting the Blue Devils and this was after Tim had graduated. He will be sorely missed in the community as well as here in the CoachT community. His family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

White House has been defeated by Station Camp twice this year, 1-3 and 0-1. What are your predictions for this match? Sure wish SC had some flippin' lights on their field so they wouldn't have to play the game so early and I might be able to make the game.

White House has a record of 9-7-3 going into this match and Livingston Academy has a record of 9-3-1. These records were pulled from EurosportScoreboard, so I'm not real sure how accurate the LA record is. I feel pretty confident the WH record is correct. Each had a game or two that was cancelled due to bad weather. Should make for a great night of soccer, if the weather cooperates.

With White House losing to Station Camp 0-1 and Livingston Academy winning over Smith County 6-0, what is your prediction for the game next Tuesday night? I'm going with a White House win 3-2. No, I haven't seen LA play this year and this is a bias opinion just to be clear... /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I said "the best teams from each district".... Station Camp when 10-0 in district 8AA. Don't know why you wouldn't agree with that, but hey, your opinion....

Don't suppose I'll be "cheering" for either team in the other game since I'm not a district 7 fan. I do find myself pulling for LA though. Reason being, IF Station Camp can take care of business with a win over the bees and IF LA can beat DC, then we'll have a Regional Championship game between the best teams from each district. Whatever happens tonight and Thursday night won't matter too much to me since DeKalb kept my team at home. Those guys from DeKalb shot lights out from the 3-point line and never really got to within 3 feet of the freakin' line. Y'all set your 3-point line back a few feet further in district 7 so when you come to district 8 you have open looks from that far out? No way we needed to guard 24 feet from the basket in any other game all year long.

GO BISON Represent district 8 guys...... Show all those that don't think Jenkins has any supporting cast on the floor and put it on the bees. This is one White House Blue Devil fan that will be pulling for Station Camp!!!!!!!!

Don't know that I'd go as far as saying WH is the real deal. Case in point, WH beat Portland (classAA) Friday night at Portland on senior night. A ton of emotion in the gym and WH stayed in control for most of the game. They go to Westmoreland (class A) and lose. I didn't attend that game so I'm not exactly sure what happened. Then they come back home and deal #7 or 8 Beech (class AAA) the loss. You just don't know what team will show up night after night. I do know one thing; they better not look past anyone trying to get to Station Camp. If they end up playing DCA, I think they will, they better play better than they did last time. They beat DCA there by 1 and lost to them at home by 19...... Just can't figure them out.

I don't see anyone really giving Station Camp much trouble in this district tourney. Odd things happen though, so I wouldn't engrave the trophy just yet. Who thought Gallatin would get Station Camp and that White House would get Beech this past Monday night...????

You'll have to ask the coaches.

It was.
