HTV or score at will might know if he's going to be back or not.

From what I've been told he's running with the scout teams on offense and defense but is not playing in games. I wonder if this is a good thing or a distraction?

My nephew is on the team and he said that about a month ago a senior was booted for taking a pair of cleats from the locker of a kid who had quit. There's never an excuse for taking things that aren't yours, but if you can get put off the team for taking cleats then it would seem to be a stretch that you can keep playing for taking ipods and money. That's just my take.

WBIR has a story at its website about Mobley: Powell junior running back and linebacker Dy'Shawn Mobley has been suspended indefinitely from the Panther football team for an undisclosed incident, according to a source close to the team. The source confirmed that the incident was non-violent and Mobley had not been arrested, but his locker has been cleaned out and he faces disclipinary action from the school. The alleged incident occured late last week in the school's gym locker room. It is unclear at this time if Mobley will be allowed to return to the team for his senior season or rejoin the team should the Panthers make a run in the playoffs, but the latter is unlikely. Mobley is the leading rusher for the Panthers with 1,034 yards on 110 carries and 13 touchdowns and has 36 tackles and 2 sacks from his linebacking position. Last week, Mobley was invited to the 2011 U.S. Army National Combine for Juniors held January 6-8 in San Antonio. He led the Panthers to the top-ranking in 5A for three weeks and the school's first undefeated season since 1990. In his absence, sophomore Montario Washington (33 carries, 268 yards) will get the start for Friday's first-round game against Morristown East (5-5) in the Class 5A playoffs.

I agree.

I had heard the same sort of thing and I heard it was on videotape. If its true I think, for better or worse, it would be hard to let him back on the team.

That's what is going around Powell: Mobley did something pretty serious but they are hoping that they can get him back in the playoffs before things get really tough (Anderson County and West). Some of the kids that play there have said "what happened" but all of them have a different story. They aren't the same team without him, but if what he did was serious then he needs to face the consquences.

There are a lot of rumors going around right now that he may be off the team for good, but nobody seems to know for sure what has happened.

There's a story in the Knoxville News Sentinel about Powell's Mobley being in trouble. Does anyone know what is going on with this?

Does anyone know if Hardin Valley throws the football?

I've got to say I did not see this coming. I thought the Panthers would win 4 out of their last 5 and be a shoe in for the playoffs. Does anyhbody know what this does to their playoff chances? Assumnig they win 3 out of 4, they will be 5-5 and is that good enough? #2 is a very good player, but he had fumbled a lot this year. Powell # 6 seems to have problems hanging on to the ball as well. He has dropped a lot of passes and was playing defense earlier this year but seems to have been moved to the offenseive side of the ballonly. I think Powell could use him on defense because the D backs do not look very good. I thought the Panthers would be good this year, but they have only beaten two teams that have not won a game. I know they are young and Karns needed to win, but I never thought Powell would lose this game and be struggling to get into the postseason. Matt Lowe seems to have a lot of energy during the game, but I don't know if his game plans are adequate to beat the better teams, espeically on defense. Congratulations to Karns, I know there coaches have taken a lot of grief but they seemed to have been very well prepared tonight.
