Yes it’s hurting as I read earlier in the thread I also know some athletes still need ndigned because all the schools pretty much are on the portal seeing who’s out there to fill some hold within there teams with older athletes so there goes another scholarship now it becomes a money thing for a family that have to refinance their home to assist getting there child in school. Everybody wants to go D1 but there are other ways to go NAIA, DII ect.

Season ended up 3 way tie for the crown. Red Bank finished solid but East Hamilton and Central have a good number of returners as well. Soddy new coach as well as Red Bank. East Ridge played young. Hixson has athletes.Sequoyah don’t know if they’ve named a coach. Thoughts?

Yeah Boog was a great workout for both clubs. We knew we would have work to do but was happy with what we saw with two weeks to install and get it together. Irish were stiff competition which is what we needed on preparing for the season.

That's great boog. Irish have been in contention for a lot of years now. Coaches will always apply for the program as they are now considered an "Elite" even in the almighty Div II. GO IRISH!!!!!!

As a coach for many years and wanting to be all that I could be in a position to lead young men a saying that I use for over three decades give me a group of athletes and a team would follow. I also played against Central in the mid 70's and they were hard nosed and competitive. In order to have a team yes you need the support of all involved and you have to be honest with your players not tell them what you think they want to hear and them buy into the program. They will be a different team because they have a different coach and also a few new pieces on his staff. There are already wide bodies that didn't play last year for what ever reason that are showing up. Now let's GO POUNDER NATION!!!! For those of you that believe.

This to b a great game. Let's let the student/athletes enjoy there moment....

Hey guys this is a sight for people to talk about the next game. A lot of what is being said sounds deep. If u r truly a sportsmen let's play ball. Everything I've heard bout both schools makes th

Hey pounder nation sorry bout excessive post got called away my grandson pushed buttons crazy. Anyway I played against Central in the 70's always remembered how much harder the practices were because coach new how proud the tradition was. The Zimmermans were always names I will remember Where are they?

You r right Tistheseaon. Football is a game that the conditioning is so important. Sounds like to me that pounder country has a talented group coming back. Upperclassmen have to set the tone. If you add a few young kids that show upperclassmen they want to play on Friday nights by conditioning you have a winning combination. You have to convince your team that football is a fast mans game for four quarters and that's the word.

Successful programs start at the middle school level. What's going on with Brown MS and there coach?
