Hey i got a strange question,could a kid from Avery transfer to a TN school,play a football season then transfer back to Avery and play another football season in February

I've known Tyler since he was in Jr high,he's one of the best guys you'll ever meet,i wish him all the luck in the world,not sure what type of team he has coming back,hopefully he has some talent to work with

Tyler Chambers is the new coach,he's been in the program for years, from the jr high to the high school, he's a very good guy.

Maybe they didn't have the football coach holding the state championship trophy on them for me to notice,im not saying there's anything wrong with promoting your school,and I know kids in this day and time want to go where they feel they can win,just never seen a sign up in Valley Forge before.Call it what you want but it sure looks like recruiting to me,you know what they say you said tomatoe i said mater lol

I've got something on a different note,why is there an Elizabethton city school billboard in Valley forge saying want to be a champion come on down in so many words or less, is this not recruiting tool,just wondering? You guys may have already discussed this I've been away for quite a while

The Townsend kid has a big upside if he continues to grow and develop,hope he avoids the injury bug this year.I went to school with his dad,good family

I got to say goodbye today to one of the best coaches,and mentors a teenage boy could have,he was the type of coach that you would have ran through a wall for,his coaching style was very old school, simply because that was how he was,he had many sayings,but one that always stuck with me was prepare for the worst and pray for the best.My thoughts and prayers go out to his family,he will be sorely missed.

I really hope you are right,about next year, maybe I'm just being a pessimist but I don't like to count my chickens before they hatch.there could be a lot of things transpire in the next few months,I've seen it happen before, transfers, injuries,and like before personal issues,I know most of these girls and I really do hope they can win multiple championships through out Their high school seasons,I wish them nothing but GOOD LUCK Saturday

Just wanted to give a big congratulations to the jr Dogz third place in state ain't that bad,you guys made us proud GREAT JOB

Haven't got to see this team play yet, probably won't see them until they play Hampton,just have one concern I've looked at the roster and they have very little size,I know you can neutralize size with quickness.is that how they're beating the bigger teams? i know most of these girls, I know they're extremely tough and love the game and I wish them the best of luck this year

Yes he's a good coach,and I agree about about not having a go to player, really thought Brumit would be that player but she's still got time

Poor lady Dogz,they are very down and will continue to be down for several more years,there just isn't a lot of help on the way,I think it's a combination of lack of talent, coaching,and interest.hopefully they will improve some by the seasons end and surprise some teams.good luck to all the local teams

As far as I know you wouldn't be sitting on the lopsided home side so why care about it,and no we don't have a 3 million dollar stadium, and turf and all the hooplah that Etown has,but we still love our schools and programs sorry if our facilities are not up to your standards.

Exactly,just play with what we got,if it's true they could at least wait till he's finished the basketball season lol

I guess he'll be at E town next according to the other message board lol

It is true that Etown is loaded with county kids and county coaches(Whitehead is from Cloudland as a coach along with Harrison who if I remember correctly is from HV) SO WHAT,and alot of times we act like we know ever child's situation,which we don't know what is going on in the family life,Hughes dad lives in roan mtn but he went to Hampton in Jr high so we don't know what went on,all I know is he is at e town and is doing great,I would have to say every school in the state has at least one kid or coach from somewhere else.But when you start talking about the quality of education at different schools that's where I have to say if your child doesn't have the desire for a quality education it doesn't matter where the child goes,it all starts at Home.Etown 28 Springfield 14 good luck to both teams safe travels and an injury free game

True it doesn't always work out from jr high to high school,but I believe Trivett will only continue to grow and improve

Man I haven't seen him in a while,used to work out with him back in the day,he was pretty stout back then too

I agree it's what's best for you and your kids, I've known a few too

Stevens son is an monster on the mat.

About the academics,you can get just as good of an education from the county schools but you have to be willing to work for it, Elizabethton may offer more but you still have those teachers that let the athletes slack off.

Definitely Buckles,and then Bentley,Mclyea,Greenwell,Hicks,as well as a few others.i watched Hicks take over during the game vs sulphur springs,and the Jr high is rolling right now with Trivett,and Campbell,as well as the other guys future looks bright

Hampton should get better as the season goes on,they have some very talented freshmen.

Look I'm not trying fuss and b@#£h about anything with anybody,all I was stating was just my opinions and thoughts,which I thought was what this board was about,

I'd say you have a pretty good idea
