I have never heard of districts voting on tournament seeding. This is a new one on me. Maybe the districts vote every year to let the district won-loss records seed the tournament. I don't know. I'm with you Slim. This has got to be the stupidist rule the TSSAA has.

Slim, don't be so mean spirited. You're last name isn't Satt-afraid is it? You're misinformed about the vote. It was a unanimous vote which means every school voted that TC should be a competitor and not a quitter. You make it sound like TC won't be finishing in last place anyway. You're misinformed about the athletic participation. It's nowhere close to your percent. Don't be so mean. Here's hoping TC has a great 4 years academically, athletically, and economically! It will be for Goodpasture!!! If both have success, then it will be fun competition and not a tail woopin' like you and Clint think it will be.

Why would GP recruit anyone from TC? Who in TC would make the long drive to GP to go to school? There's no good way to get from one school to the other. I'm sure neither school is looking forward to these long road trips over the next 4 years. You won't find many (if any) GP people excited about the plight the TSSAA put on them by moving them to A.

Both teams shot themselves in the foot on some scoring opportunities. GP had TDs called back because of penalties. Page dropped good passes. It appears Page has a good passing attack. Receivers will get better at catching the ball. QB throws the ball well. They have a big D-Line but GP was able to run the ball with good success.

New low for Princess Clint and the Trousdale Cowards. The district held a volleyball play day this past weekend. Goodpasture sent their JV team to play and the Varsity Lady Cowards wouldn't play them. Good job ladies. Quitting is always better than competing. Keep following Princess Clint and you'll learn a lot.

Goodpasture has everyone back. Their main guys have been playing together since middle school. I saw them play in Springfield this summer and they beat Springfield and Stratford by 20+. I heard they beat everyone by double digits this summer except for Hillsboro.

I don't see all of these future state championships that everyone else sees. There are really good teams in all sports in A & 2A/Football in the state. I believe GP will be in the running for state births this year but time will tell if they are state birth material in future years.

It's time someone with some intelligence joined in and not look at this season's GP team through Martin colored glasses. GP is pre-season pick in the top of the state. That will be a story if they only win 4 games and go deep in the playoffs. Can't comment on practices except the players are in the best physical and mental shape they've been in for years. Kenwood did not beat them badly. Neither team's defense could stop the other team's offense. No defense what so ever sounds like the typical GP defense for the past several years. The difference this season is that the players are actually trying to tackle the opponent instead of chasing them into the end zone. Defenses needs some work but I'll say that Kenwood's QB will be one to the top QBs in the state. Offense looks good. What a difference it makes when you run toward the end zone and not toward the sidelines. Last time I checked, you don't get points for running out of bounds. Saw something different in the scrimmage vs last year. GP advanced the ball down the field by having one player throw it to another. WOW! Must be a new rule or something. It would be good if holdover assistant coaches would do more coaching and less complaining but then again, they never had to coach in the past. One of the holdover coaches should have left with the prior staff. Players, students, and parents would like to see him gone but he has family connections to the Board. The best move Coach Mote could make is sending him to Stewarts Creek. Sounds like you need to take your hand held stat device and go to Stewarts Creek too.
