They didn't sign up, they earned it, which was tough on this side of the state. You'll see
^^^ Trust this guy...

Woowee! Welp...I just got done got watching film and this one is in the bag! I'll give it to their QB. I know he probably should've won Mr. Football twice even though that never happens to players from over there. And I'll even say he's the best player in 1A...but he won't be able to get a pass off with our monsters on the D line! Sorry Dresden...you guys just don't realize what you're signing up for. We got here to the big dance last year with the same group pretty much and are probably one of the most dominant 1A teams ever this year with most of our core back with this senior group. The running game doesn't scare me one bit. He's running over midgets and doesn't have that much speed. They know a QB can't run but a handful of times against a team our size. Dresden's defense doesn't impress me one bit. We like to run outside and our big boys will put the outside linebackers on their back every play...just watch. Dresden also won't see our play action passes since they'll be so worried about our run game. We could run the same play the entire game and still win this. Our O linemen is about to embarrass the front 7 of Dresden....you might not like it but you'll be forced to accept it. Yyyyeeeeee, yyyyyyeeeee!!!! Get em up Kees! Let's do it this time babaaay!!
lol.

Them Alcoa folks can talk the talk and walk the walk!Glad to have them around!
Yes, the "Alcoa" folks can talk the talk and walk the walk... I'm not seeing how that translates to the Dresden QB being on his back most of the night.
What about GB? lol #trolling #DontTakeThisPersonally

You don't think Greenback has seen talent like Dresden? Do you not think coalfield and south Pitt have phenomenal players as well?
It's not that I think GB hasn't seen talent like Dresden, but I just believe they have only seen it in glimpses...
Dresden has the talent in more than one or two players--there is true depth in all areas for Dresden which makes the difference between Dresden and the other teams GB has faced.
As far as Coalfield and South Pitt and Greenback, I am well aware of the talent that those programs have year in and year out, but again, I don't think they are as stacked with as many talented players as the Dresden team you will see this Friday. Not taking away from any of those programs at all as I truly do respect each.
-
I hope this a joke. Marion county would mercy rule Dresden. Alcoa would hang 100 on y'all without thinking twice. Don't speak of things you don't understand. The gold will go to Greenback this year. We couldn't even pass on them last year and we had the best wide receiver that's gone through 1A in years. If y'all think you will beat them easily you're crazy and no nothing.
There is absolutely no way Marion County mercy rules this Dresden team... especially given that they lost to South Pitt earlier in the year who lost to GB. Also, there is a 0% chance Alcoa would put anywhere close to 100 on this Dresden defense. It seems that you, sir/madam, are the one who does not need to speak on things which he/she does not understand.
This is not to say that the game this week will be easy--it won't. I fully expect a close game between two great teams; however, I do pick Dresden to pull away in the second half, much like they did against WC--who has a phenomenal QB.
Dresser Winn will have a great game, Dylan Yates will have a great game, and so will the many other skills players who GB has seen nothing like throughout the entirety of this year (McDonald, Williams, Thomas, Jones, Hutcherson). All of these guys plus the excellent defensive leaders in Jordan Mitchell and Hudson Nanney will give GB competition unlike anything they have seen thus far.
I know GB has very skilled players in their QB and RB. And of course, the O-line and D-line will be a group to be reckoned with, but I truly believe Dresden will come away with this one.
My prediction:
Dresden 41
Greenback 20

Yes, Wildcats are indeed a worthy opponent. They have much to be proud of. No doubt. But UH OH... after Friday however they too will be victimized by the Dresden juggernaut that's coming. Too many weapons on O, too much intensity on D that dominates. We'll adjust, plan for, & neutraluze & override WC's offensive weapons & then denude their defense, and our fans are an event all to themselves that can only be experienced. 12th man power is extreme. Wildcats will have their moments, they'll get to cheer about some nice plays, but in the end our Lions are gonna roar over our smaller cat opponent. Waynesboro folk gonna believe the hype about Dresden afterwards too. This truly >IS< the year of the Lions. Won't be long now. Don't be too upset though Wildcats, it's who we are.. it's what we do.. the Lions win, and we simply ARE that much better. Thinking Lions will score the most points ever put up on WC this year (in maybe 2 or more yrs), while Wayne Co will be held to lowest score in a long time. Will be somewhat shocking to others watching from a distance, but it's just Dresden Lions being the champs they are, typical & usual results. Again.. please take it like men. Life will go on, crow will be digested, & round ball may help Wildcats get over what's gonna happen. WC's best will fall short against our BEASTS! Then y'all will learn what everyone has: Uh oh.. It happened to you too. Season over. But 13-1 ain't a bad season either. So hold your head high Wildcats, y'all did good but the clearly better team & better Mr Football will win it for Lions Friday.
Definitely revy... the "UH OH" and ">IS<" was a dead giveaway haha

Just watched #20 for WC on his highlight reel... looks like a strong, tough kid that can make some plays...
But I got to be honest... he looks to be untouched on most of those. The Dresden O-line should't let that happen come Friday..
-
#1 is McDonald. He's been mentioned as one of our top receivers along with Thomas, Williams & Jones. They're all playmakers.
McDonald is another that will be an X-factor Friday night... He's the one who can actually "do it all" as they say... He can certainly run and catch, but wait for it--AND HE CAN PASS!
Little known fact by those outside of Dresden, but #1 (Quincy McDonald) was named 1st Team All-State QB as a sophomore...
-
Also, I forgot to mention another X-factor: the Dresden O-line is really stepping it up. They have faced some difficult D-lines in Union City and Trenton--as well as some other schools--and have proven that they can stick with everyone we have faced so far.
O-lines typically go unnoticed and are under appreciated (as we all know), but this O-line in Dresden is definitely worth mentioning and can make the difference in this game--especially when it comes to stopping WC's #20. They will have their hands full with him, but I truly believe they are up for the task.
The Hogs up front always need some appreciation and recognition, whether its for Dresden or WC, and these two are definitely worth talking about seeing as how these teams did not come this far without them.
-
Well, I usually wait until around this time of year to get on CoachT because, hey, anything before the semifinals doesn't matter, right? haha.
Anyways, after having read through this thread, I feel like I just watched a reality TV show involving a mix of The Bachelor/Bachelorette and Jerry Springer/Maury. And for that, I thank you to those of you who have provided such entertainment lol. Who would've thought you could get on a high school football thread and be that entertained--for FREE?
Anyways, back to the game. As a Dresden supporter, I can say without a doubt that WC is as talented a team as we have faced all year. Their QB and Defense are (almost) second to none--though I may be biased, I think Dresser and the Dresden Defense have the slight edge in this game. Rice is also an unbelievable QB and will pose a real threat and challenge to the Dresden secondary. #20 for WC is also a hoss who will most definitely cause some issues--but I believe Dresden will adjust and overcome (thus is the game of football). Dylan Yates is also a hoss who will also definitely cause some issues for WC's offense and defense.
This goes without saying, but both teams could not be more motivated and both clearly see what is at stake with this game.
That being said, giving credit where it is due to both sides--I think Dresden has the edge in this one because of a few X-factors in Dresden's stable of athletes/receivers (Thomas, Jones, Hutcherson, Little Yates to name a few), Jordan Mitchell and Brice Williams (both rarely mentioned, but difference-makers nonetheless), and the fact that we are fortunate enough to have the home field advantage.
Good luck to both teams and I pray it is an injury-free game. Go Lions!
Score Prediction:
-Dresden: 49
-WC: 42

I'm sorry as this may step on some toes, but I saw Hutch at the start of the year playing qb some and he isn't good. He would definitely cause more problems for the already struggling offense. They have come a long way in a short time already this season and I think some of that has to do with Quincy at qb. I think coach made the right decision starting Quincy over Hutch. I understand that he could easily be utilized in other places, but when you don't have anyone else to play a certain position, you've got to do what is best for the team in the long run.
No stepping on toes at all. Football is a game and if that's your opinion then you are perfectly within your rights to think that. However, much like ysoangry, I think Hutch just didn't look as impressive because he put all the pressure on himself and forced some deep balls that were unneccesary. Lack of game experience is the only reason that I can think of that he was doing that, however, he still performed much better in preseason games than I think you are giving him credit for... I believe he would do better as the season went along if given the chance.
In the preseason jamboree at Henry County, he went 6-10 (60% completions) with 110 yards and 1 TD in ONE HALF.. then he was subsequently benched after that performance??.. then Quincey (no offense to him because I think he is a great player and athlete, just not a QB) was asked to start the next week and the rest of the season where he has thrown interceptions in almost every game. Numbers don't lie. I would have liked to see what Hutch could do in an entire game throwing to Quincey and the other big time athletes we have.
I just don't think our offense is reaching its full potential being so one dimensional.
Either way, I am a lion supporter. Go lions!
-
I still don't quite understand why Quincey hasn't been at receiver this whole time and Hutch at QB.. It would at least make us a two-dimensional team.. and I've seen Hutch throw it around some. Kids got an arm
-
No one has anything to say with their "statistics" to lionsports?? haha

Reading these posts is awfully disappointing... seeing a lot of fair weather fans. The fact that parents are discussing moving their kids over a coaching change at the high school level shows an extreme lack in character.
It is also disappointing to see that people believe that we will go back to being everyone's "homecoming game" if we don't retain a coach (though I also believe Chad Hodge is the route to go). It shows lack of faith in our players that put in the work and will hopefully buy into whatever coach we hires system.
Dresden football as a program will be just fine because of the character and hard work the players put into it. The fans, on the other hand, after reading reactions on here, will not be okay apparently until the boys prove they can win under any coach.
Good luck, Dresden, and I hope you all can pull off a big season with many wins to prove the "fans" wrong. I also hope Chad is hired because it would make the transition easier and he is a good coach, not because we can't win without him.
Go Lions!
-
Chad Hodge should get the job.. End of story. If not, then it could be a huge mistake.
On a side note, however, I believe the players that are there now will buy in to whoever is coaching and their philosophy. Coaches run the program, but players run the team and ultimately decide the outcome. Hard work pays off no matter who is coaching as long as the players are level-minded and cooperative and work hard day in and day out.
Should be interesting to see how this whole coaching dilemma plays out.
Go Lions!

What are the rumors?
-
Good post shocker!!! I really don't know what to expect from next years team. The offense I'm no?t too worried about because we have many "young" playmakers. I'm wondering what the D will look like. Losing 6 or 7 starters will be a challenge to any team.
Actually 7 & 3 isn't mediocre by any means. Just ask McKenzie!!!!
I appreciate it, yso. I agree about the offense.. hopefully they won't skip a beat if they continue to work hard this offseason. As far as the defense, losing guys like Caldwell, Ben, and Colter could hurt. However, good teams, as far as I'm concerned, do not rebuild. They reload. Those seniors last year left a strong legacy to continue to build on and the guys under them should have learned how to continue their success and step up when they need to.
In other words, they will learn just like the ones before them did and will be successful if they are willing to put in the work.
-
7-5 or 6-6 is what yall will end up:
Westview-Loss by 13 or more
Peabody-Loss by 10 or more
McKenzie-Win by 18 or more
Obion Co.-Loss/Win by 10 or less
Bruceton-Win by 18 or more
UnionCity-Loss by 24 or more
WestCarroll-Win by 18 or more
Fayette Acd.-Win by 30 or more
Gleason-Win by 10 or less
Huntingdon-Loss by 18 or more
First round bye
2nd round win against (Humboldt/LakeCo./Gleason/Bruceton)
3rd round destroyed by Union City again
Just out of pure curiosity, where do you get the backing for those numbers and predictions? Because I disagree with your point spreads... a lot. And personally, I disagree with the losses that you are predicting, but that is because I am taking into account the intangibles that Dresden has to offer.
Basically, I am just curious about how you came to those wins/losses and point spreads. What logic?
-
For those of you predicting a mediocre 7-3 season or less than mediocre 5-5 season, that is a shame. Thankfully, however, that is what Dresden football thrives on. I pray that these seniors use it as fuel to outweigh your expectations (especially since no emphasis is being put on their success as a senior class and all the attention is on the youngsters who will have their time to leave a legacy). I expect no less than 10-0 being a proud Dresden alumni who has been in these seniors and team as whole's shoes when it comes to low expectations.
Prove your worth this season, Lions and show that it can be done any given year. Seniors, leave a positive legacy for the young and upcoming talented guys to continue to build on in the future. Weight room should be occupied at all hours by everyone. I know of several that are down there constantly, even while playing other sports. Keep it up.
Go Lions!

Humboldt has at least two really good athletes on offense with a lot of experience that will make life for Dresden fairly difficult.. The great thing about that though is that Dresden is used to facing those big time athletes when it comes to playoff games and usually (traditionally anyways) overcome the athletes through Hodge's strategy. I don't see this week being any different. Dresden's coaching staff will have our boys ready, and hopefully make a long run if we can get past this team.. Dresden wins in a close one against a very good Humboldt team.
Go Lions!

Good luck to the Lions on this homecoming night! Hope everyone gets a chance to play and there are no injuries. Also heard a lot of alumni are coming out for tent city. Sounds like a great idea. Lions win big in this one...
Go Lions!

Prayers being sent up for Yso.

Have you watched the first two games mtown. The young ones are playing well. They have stepped up. What else do you want them to do?
Hold on now... haha. In no way was I knocking the young guys. I'm just saying, now there is definitely no room for mistakes. I want them to do well and am, to your surprise I'm sure, a Dresden fan. Don't get defensive when you are getting support.
Now, as I said previously, Go Lions!
Dresden hosts Gibson Co. Sep.9, (Homecoming)

Square dance city in Dresden, TN tonight... Coach Harris said he's bringing the energy and noise... Hodge will be in the background doing the worm (just because he can). It's time. Go Lions!
