idk. yes we made plenty of mistakes. but whats worse is so did henry county. they had several turnovers themselves and more penalties and they still boat raced us. i think it was as much a tale of them dominating the line of scrimmage and controlling the field position with there kicking game as it was our blunders. but thats just my opinion. Gallatin has alot of work to do...

i agree the district is kind of underwhelming this year. hhs should win it. hillsboro has enough talent to keep it interesting. Next weeks game will be interesting... beech and gallatin remain ??? station camp...oh station camp...where do i begin. that has to be the most disheartening way to lose a game. Especially when ur staring 0-4 in the face. there was still hope for there season at 0-3. now im not so sure. 0-4 is really hard to recover from...

thats understandable. just seems like henry co would be a job that could attract some names. but i agree its hard to blame them for going this route. best of luck until game 4!

maryville will win convincingly.

wow!!! i did not know henry county had a new coach. did they even have a coaching search?? im really looking forward to our matchup this year. i dont think gallatin and hc have ever played in the regular season before.

looking forward to the upcoming season. gallatin should be right in the thick of things. at least in the top 4 for a playoff spot. beech hville and hillsboro will all be tough outs tho.

oakland is my pick to take the 6A crown this year. so much talent and experience with that bunch. im still not ready to just hand the gold to beech this year. 16 starters from last season gone, including at least 5 who will play on saturdays. very hard to replace all of that. that might be why they plan on playing hurd both ways more often this year. they'll still probably run my green wave out of the stadium though...lol.

i think we will probably be down again this year, but im not ready to call for anyone's head just yet, because i realize that downturns happen. we have some very talented underclassmen getting ready to come up through the ranks, so things in 2014 and beyond look much brighter. be patient!!! there is a ton of winning experience on the current staff, and if they weather the current storm, they will be fine going forward.

i heard the oakland/beech scrimmage was 35-14 in favor of oakland. not sure about wc and lebanon.

i think it should factor in at least somewhat, but i do agree that there are more factors at play when talking about best program. i understand the difference between better "program" and better "team", but take a closer look at what we're actually comparing. if mj was a 6a program that lost in the 1st or 2nd round every year, i could see more of an argument. but the truth is, mj is competing with the likes of 6a memphis, maryville, and rutherford county for shots at titles, all of whom have excellent programs that are on an at least even level with mt. juliet, while fc was competing against the likes of dresden and adamsville for titles, neither of whom are anywhere near being on an even level with fc. because of that, i don't think fc's accomplishments the last two years are very much, if any more impressive than mj's two semifinal appearances in that same time frame.

last two years mj has played for a shot at the 6a championship game bud.

friendship won a couple of state titles as a private in 2a. they lost to the 1a champion last season. mj has gone to two consecutive 6a semifinals playing on an even slate with the other schools. the answer is mt. juliet. they play against much stiffer competition and have still come to the brink of a championship in the state's largest class. this shouldn't even be a comparison in my opinion. no offense to fc, they've been impressive as of late, but seriously, who would worry you more if you saw them on your schedule?

how is gallatin looking in practice so far (numbers, size, speed, etc.)? haven't been able to make it over yet.

semifinal teams: maryville, oakland..... whitehaven, mt. juliet final two: mt. juliet and oakland state champ: oakland

oh, my apologies. for some reason i was thinking they moved down.
