I'm like you ZCAR - still rootin for these boys. I sure hope they get their first win tomorrow night. Any news on if Long will be back to play??? Heard that boy has had another injury on top of the one he had. Sure hope he heals up fast, sure do need him. Anyway, GOOD LUCK DEVILS!

Another sad loss. Karns and Hardin Valley should have been two teams to beat if there was a win. In my opinion (and mine alone - not trying to step on anyones toes again) I think it would have been a different game if Halls best player had been healthy and playing full force. Halls has lots of injuries - which has been a down fall of ours - but with Long not playing but only minimally on top of that, it definitely hurt them even more. Anyone know if he will be back full play next week?

My "WELL PUT" comment was towards Teddy Williams and what type of person by putting his time into the youth program and having done so for so many years. I AS WELL AM VERY GOOD FRIENDS WITH TEDDY WILLIAMS (youth league). I know what type of man he is and what he has done. My well put was for him. This is a message board to be able to post opinions just as you have done your self. I am a true fan to the REd Devils myself and have been for Many, Many, Many years and I hate seeing them going through what they have gone through. I am first for the young men on the field and commend them for working hard to try to get a win. Its hard to sit back and watch these kids go through a losing season. You commented on out "situation at Halls" so I guess you are not a true Red Devils fan, but we have seen the losing seasons go down when they should have been coming up. I don't think TW (HHS) is the man for the OC job, never have. THAT IS MY OPINION! I am allowed to have that opinion and post if need be. Just as you have posted your opinions yourself and your opinion to my comment. As far as your name telling who you are, all i see is Solo-mon 2. I support the Halls Red Devils win and lose, but it will start and finish with the boys on the field. I hope the answers to the problems are found as well.

I just want to say that Halls does have some outstanding players that still have heart for the game and I for one have not gave up on these guys. I hate the way things are going this season, but with a 0-7 season I am still a fan. It takes a lot for these young men to get out there every day in practice,play hard friday night with out a win and then go back on Monday and start all over again. I have a couple of comments towards a couple of players - First, I want to commend Long for an outstanding game. This kid is a player and with a 0-7 record, obviously still plays with heart. Unbelievable athlete and hope he is getting recognized for it. Brown also had a good game this week, upset fumble but still had a good game and doing a good job at fullback. Burleigh made some plays happen and Starret got some yardage in. Nice to see kids that want to be out there and still love the game regardless of their record.

Well put!

I agree ZCAR - tough to watch those boys who want it bad and just can't seem to get there.

I think Ted Williams would out coach Teddy Williams anyday.

Devilsden, I usually agree with you on most everything - but I have to disagree with you Devilsden. There are plenty that still care what goes on with the devils. Its in the roots. Now yours may have moved on but I for one still like to hang for the home team. The real Teddy Williams would move mountains to be there for those boys just as he has for 20+ years. There are coaches on the team that have "jobs" outside the high school and they are still there. Whether or not a community part coach gets booted because of losses is irrelevant, this is high school and they are hired to do a job which is different than community park. It would be the same story as it always has been - meet and complain or talk and you just get the words they think you want to hear and never change anything. I for one am still pulling for those boys on the field and wish them the best of luck tomorrow night against Karns.

Congrats to Devrin. Great kid,vry humbled! Congrats to Dooley for pulling kids from the area, its about time we got a coach that can find talent in his own back yard.

KJ has been around long enough to see how Webb does it and still doesn't change it or teach it correctly. You would think he could take a little something from the tapes of games when they are swapped. We all know TW can't have more than a couple things on his sheet to swap in and out now! Besides - evidently big egos that can't see that a change needs to be done don't need clinics...

Well put. I will say that if you are Webb then the Wing T works. If you are Halls - it does not work. Everyone except for KJ could agree that Halls needs to get rid of the Wing T. I'm not sure which coach has gave up on the players and I agree - that is inexcusable! These boys are not stupid boys. They know what is going on. They can't expect the boys to get beat down on the field when they aren't fighting for them on the practice field and side lines. As far as tackling goes, Halls don't practice it. Ask any of the players if they practice REAL tackling drills. I could guarantee that the Maryville, Webb, Powell, etc. teams practice REAL tackling old school drills. Need to go back to some of the basics! Other teams know exactly what Halls is going to do or should I say not going to do. They know which players to key in on. They know what we are going to run. We have Ted Williams who just pulls a play off the sheet and then repeats one or two and don't pay attention to what is actually going on on the field. Its a joke! Its embarassing to the players most of all, the parents, the community with what is going on. We agree...get rid of the Wing T. It don't work for this program.

Except for Burnette - don't really know Templeton that well except he was small at the time, but Blakely caused nothing but problems with the team and kept an attitude. Maybe that is why some say the coaches thought he was useless.

Burnette could have made a major difference!
