Can anyone explain the selection criteria for this group, especially as it relates to the punter. There were two punters from the Chattanooga area (both 2A) who had season averages at least 4 yards better than the punter who was selected. Just curious... Go Bucs!

1. Vinnie 2. Phil 3. Brett 4. Tyler 5. Rock 6. Taylor 7. Ross 8. Andrew 9. Hayden 10. Trey

This year's team had ten seniors, all starting most of the season. Other than their leadership, the biggest void left by them will be in the linebacker corp.

Good Luck Tonight BUCS...It Can Be Done!

...been hearing the same thing from some friends of mine whose boys play for McCallie...just waiting on SM's season to end for the final details / announcement.

Treetop...exactly what I was thinking...

Insanity, that's good to hear. I've seen Jeremy play and know he can be a force, but I had heard that this year's team was short on numbers and small inside. Glad to hear your report!

That's good but what are you hearing that makes you say this year's team will be a better one?

Clarence...I'm just curious...how do you know so much about Rhea County and Coach Horton?

...sounds like last night must have been a great game. If we weren't still playing I'd have been there myself. To any Trousdale fans...how did this year's team compare to last year's team. Just trying to get a feel for next week.

Just to be safe...I'll try to stay away from discussing the coaches and focus on the players - we've got some good ones.

buc55...while I appreciate your sentiment about curtailing the negative comments, I do wish to point out that none of mine have been about individual players as you mention in your post (and I agree with that!). My concerns have been directed solely at the coaching staff who should be held accountable for this team's struggle to reach their full potential (your words). We should be able to express those sort of opinions on a message board such as this. If I was going to compare last year's senior class to this year's (as you brought up), I wouldn't focus on the quality of the class; instead, I would note the difference in quantity (17 last year versus 9 this year). Regardless of the numbers difference, though, I believe this year's class fights hard every play as well. To wrap up, I'll go back to my theme throughout all my posts...this year's coaching staff is much different from last years and is the biggest obstacle this year's team has to overcome. I do have confidence, though, that this year's team does have the fortitude to stay together and the ability to play well enough to beat Copper Basin and make a move in the playoffs. Again, I do appreciate and agree with your reason for making your post and thank you. Go Bucs!

Does anyone on here from Boyd know why we're having senior night at Finley instead of at our home field? I hear many of the senior players (and parents!) aren't very happy and can't get an explanation from Grant.

Without question the Bucs are in the wrong offense. To make matters worse, they are using the wrong personnel and calling ridiculous plays. But, to go on would only be beating a dead horse - nothing's going to change this year. I would like to know who's coaching the offensive line. When are we ever going to start putting our 300 pounders in a stance that takes so much of their weight off their heels and puts it instead on their leading hand. The first motion on a running play for a lineman should not be straight up. Go Bucs!

BUCDADDY...I can't say that Boyd will get beat this week...I just can't say that. I do have to agree, though, with just about everything else you have stated. There appears to be a lot of turmoil to go along with the poor coaching of the offense, and it's almost as if Grant has checked out this season. We are playing the wrong style of offense, and we are using the wrong quarterback. The one we need is playing wide receiver. I've seen this kid play - he's a great passer. If you're correct about #1 playing the whole game, he'd better have a good game. The fans are not going to be patient this week. Go Bucs!
