Bobcat, what's your assessment of this year's Central team? If you're still affiliated with the program I'll understand if there's no comment.

Agreed, SD rebuilding with a new coach, new to the high school scene. They are young!

Blazer, sorta got to agree with you, I look for Bearden to be much improved but West has too many athletes. If it's close it will be because West kills themselves.

OR over SD, West over Bearden, Greensville over Central, Beech over Farragut, Halls over Gibbs, Karns over HVA, Powell over AC, Fulton over AE, Carter over Webb.

Easy guys, books' a coming! Looking forward to things cranking up.

Has anyone received theirs yet? Ordered mine July 18th and thought I saw where it might be after the first week of August. HTV, did you order one?

So getting back to 5A "2022", I'd have to give Powell and West the vote in the east, but don't be surprised with Oak Ridge showing up to cause problems. West is in Central's head for now. Hall's may be a bigger issue! And Rhea Co. could end up hurting some feelings!

.....but for fans and Coacht followers and posters, let the kids enjoy and build a little confidence. Let them take it seriously, it CAN have a bearing on the season you want to post on here about.

Samson, I agree with the "pffft" when it comes to victories, but I feel there's a more important point to the 7 on 7. Teams need the 7 on 7's to build communication and confidence between QB's and receiver's, need 7 on 7's to learn who can and can't on defense. And if you can build a little "we won" into it, that goes a long way come fall practice. Once fall practice starts, you don't get the best on best. You get the best on 2nd's. So summer 7 on 7 is very important, it builds momentum!

Edward, I don't ever remember saying anything about an internal hire, I've never mentioned any names, never implied who was or wasn't being considered. I've tried to be informative without disclosing information that shouldn't be disclosed. And these next comments are not directed to you. I'm out, done with CoachT. I'm over the trolls that 95% of the time could care less about the topic of a forum, but want to see what crap they can stir up with someone's comments. My only hope is that their sarcastic posting on here isn't indicative of their daily lives, that would be sad. Done!

I wasn't aware that McNamara at Michigan was his brother until last night. The kid is a battler!

Mine comes from coaching in Georgia for 10 years.

Where does your knowledge come from? Have you coached football and been supplemented at the high school level?

Yes, probably was not smart! I can see Nolen taking it personal.

.....and I may have missed something but why aren't the assistant coaches running the weight program? They are still the assistant coaches until the new coach tells them they are no longer needed. Isn't that part of their coaching supplement responsibilities?

I know its important, but there's a lot more to consider here than just having someone available to run the weight room. It's getting the right person, and on that note, I don't no LEFTYKNOX, but if he has a source, he knows that some of the names mentioned throughout this 47 page forum didn't even apply until this past few days, thus 1st interviews still running through this weekend.

It's going to work out Gawd! They are trying to get it right and as it was put to me, " someone the community will be happy with".

Yes, but it sounds like they are really trying to get the right person.

I think both teams defenses struggle in this one because both QB's can move around so well. I don't see Page being able to run the ball, but how will their D-line hold up against Powell's run? There's no telling how this one ends up.

Lol, that's high enough!

5A, he's a senior, not sure what you mean?

Edward, how high is that perch? lol

I would like to add a comment toward an earlier post (don't think it was from you). I coached for several years in Georgia at two high schools and in both cases when our seasons were over we gave the kids time off to get their bodies back. When school started back after Christmas, we started back up with the weights and the kids pretty much worked on football the rest of the year. I'd say if you checked with coaches around the area, if workouts have started back up, their not mandatory, even the coaches need breaks.

Yes

Agreed, but you have to admit, he looks like Andre The Giant with the other backs back there.
