You two love birds trying to double team me know? Kinfolks I don’t swing that way.

I stand by both previous statements I made in season. Marion should have lost to Forrest this year due to coaching not due to talent and the last two years the Marion teams have had twice the athletes and talent as 21 team. The difference is these teams imo are that they come across as soft but that has more to do with the leadership up top than it does the talent and the kids. No I do not have a kid on Marion’s team. By all means you two can continue to dissect my comments down and argue amongst yourselves. No offense here but a Forrest fan would not know what good football looked like if it hit them in the face. I am just keeping it real. 

What about the other Groves kid? Is he expected to play a bigger role next season? I think he was #13 or something if I remember correctly.

That’s tough for those kids, I don’t understand that ruling from TSSAA when they let SP get two big time seniors one from a private school CCS, who just so happened to play them last year and waxed SP. The other one who got there right before the season started from a big school in Georgia who was not legally aloud to play in Georgia , because of his actions.  They used the federal McKinney-Vento Homeless Act which is basically homeless kids needing help to get an education. That simply wasn’t true he chose to be homeless to play football for SP. Seems like TSSAA just picks and chooses their battles. There is definitely an Asterisk by their championship IMO. Even if they didn’t recruit him they gave him safe passage with limited questions asked, because they saw the Auburn commit who could possibly win some football games.  And they don’t win the ship without those two players. 

Dont do this kinfolk. You make your team look bad as a grown man speaking out on a kids behalf when you or anyone else truly knows this kid’s situation.

If this cat had came to play for your school you wouldn’t speak a word about it and honestly he didn’t make much of a difference in games I watched. The difference in the Silver or the Gold Ball Friday night was #8. I am just keeping it real

Haha. But Thomas has received a few offers from a few d2 and naia schools for linebacker. Him and a few others have been courted. But yeah I thought dline play was huge for Riverside holding him just over a 100. But that whole defense been doing it holding every team in the playoffs to just one score. Says a lot about this team 

No doubt the kid played his tail off and the defensive line. Good luck to that young man at the next level. He is a heck of a player. 

ER should reload again. Marion or City is only teams that can come close to matching their skill level. Bledsoe and Forrest are two other teams that will both be tough up front. Hampton should be tough as usual but ER’s path back to Chatt is certainly there. Will be interesting to see if ER cleans up some of the discipline issues by next season. They should be a year older so some of that should subside. I am just keeping it real 

Where all is Desmond Thomas looking at playing at the next level? Kid played his butt off and showed who the best RB on the field was. Funny I was ridiculed for saying if Isiah Groves went for 150 plus ER would win and so many chirped in saying he was going to do that win or lose and likely would get 250. Great performance by Riverside defense holding him under 120 yards. ER cost theirselves in the end on the last drive when it was 3rd and short with the chop block but most that have watched them were holding their breath because it has been a common theme all year. ER will have great chance to be back though. Congratulations again to Riverside! Great season but tell Coach Frost thought to keep his hat on next time on TV. I am just keeping it real

People only saw a glimpse  of Wellington kid in 2nd half when they took training wheels off him he then showed glimpses of what they typically do with him until he got hurt again. Kid looked like Johnny football in Gordonsville game. Would have loved to witness Mase vs South Pitt or Moore vs South Pitt with both healthy teams. Those teams had more firepower offensively than McKenzie but neither had the defense to get their team a W when it mattered. McKenzie is building a program out West. Biggest question will be if they can stay down again next cycle. 1A has been good to Comer.

South Pitt had an elite defense this year and it showed in the final. Neither the 1A & 2A games were pretty but both you guys and Riverside were able to hang your hat on your Defense and it won y’all another Championship. Btw #8 was a beast. Kudus to that kid. Heck of a game. Look fwd to watching you guys next season. Don’t sleep on region opponents next year though. Chatt Prep and Sale Creek both are liable to make some noise in playoffs. I am just keeping it real

Upset of the year in regards to the Championships. Houston made Oakland look very average after an awesome run. Oakland at times this year didn’t always play like they were capable. Not sure if complacency set in and they thought Houston would just lay down for them but it obviously didn’t happen. Again great year by Houston. Oakland will be back. Duane Morris revenge tour coming soon in 2024. I am just keeping it real

Upperman had a great year. Played PC as good as you could’ve hoped for. I know Uppermans fans don’t want to hear this but you were going to almost have to play the perfect game to beat PC. The difference in size and speed was glaring. Nothing to be ashamed of though. Heck of a year and I expect Caine to build off of this one. I am just keeping it real

I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised with SP by playoff time next season. Lot of growing up to do but the horses are there. 

Yeah the young RB this year and the Freshman both will be legit but was told they had no seniors next year. I don’t see a team without Seniors making it there but South Pitt will be South Pitt don’t get me wrong. Not impossible without Seniors but generally speaking it doesn’t happen often.

You have been keeping it real dumb and real wrong all season. Your playoff picks were comical. 

Marion's talent is so far off where it was in 15, 16, or 21 you must have a kid on the team to argue otherwise. Picket ran wild as a sophomore. He wasn't a factor this year on offense. If Marion doesn't load up on transfers 4 and 6 can't do it themselves.

First of all you’re on the good stuff if you don’t think Marion had way more talent and skill this year than they did in 2021 when they ran 90’s style offense shoe to shoe and lost to an average Watertown team when they couldn’t score a single point. I have watched Marion a lot more than you have over the last several years and was at all the state games as well but I am not going to get in a pissing contest with a fan from Forrest.

Fwiw though I would not be so quick to say Marion only has two kids. Had a freshman this year that will be a grown man next year.  I do think Forrest has good size and good football players and could be considered a dark horse pick next season but Forrest can’t get out of their own way.

listen fool. i typed a post 3 years ago on how to win at Forrest. Some of it Eli adopted. you can spend your time wisely and go find that post. it was comprehensive and had much more intellect than all of your posts combined. you're like a dog that really likes me and wants to be constantly petted. i pay attention merely because you're super loud and obnoxious. in the end i sleep in my bed and you crawl back into your crate. keep following and responding to every single post of mine though. please. i am glad to be such an important part of your existence. truly! i look forward to your response to this post. thanks again for reading. 

Nah I will just let you keep telling everyone on here how smart you are. Im not loud or obnoxious I just don’t sugar coat my thoughts but I don’t pretend to know everything nor do I slam coaches to the teams I follow repeatedly. Carry on now Coach Gump. You have everyone’s attention. I am just keeping it real

South Pitt & Oliver Springs liable to be two best teams in the East and they play in week 1 or 2 again I believe. Gordonsville and Oliver Springs both sound like they return the most and probably favorites in each region. With South Pitt losing the house I am not so sure they make it back to Chatt but the road def goes through them for everyone else. I am just keeping it real

The last two years Marion Co games should be online. With coaching decisions that make Page's guy look like Andy Reid,  Forrest more than challenged Marion. If we get a real coach hired that can start in January we will be playing in the quarterfinals in the quad that represents the east most years. 

You can pin it to the top of the board. Next year Forrest will look much like the 2023 Riverside team. Big RB, dual threat QB, an all senior offensive line, and as much depth and talent in the skill positions as anyone in 2A. 

I personally thought Forrest out coached Marion this year after I called for a blowout. Marion’s talent is there and they are ready to win but can’t seem to put it all together. Forrest hasn’t stopped Pickett in 2 years. Next year will be no different. I am just keeping it real

Forrest will have the talent to challenge Marion in R4. This coaching hire will be HUGE. People will be shocked at how much Stephenson underachieved the last 2 seasons when a real coach gets these kids. 

Are you not putting in for it?

Predictions and Rankings

Mr. Football - Isaiah Groves

1. East Robertson

2. Huntingdon

3. Marion Co

4. Milan

5. Adamsville

6. Smith Co

7. York

8. Hampton

9. Mt Pleasant

10. Fairley

was a wonderful season, looking forward to next. Good luck to everyone.

East side is between ER and winner between City & Marion. Smith lost the house and so did York.  West side is Milan or Fairley. Adamsville is dark horse. Huntingdon seems to always choke so I would have them outside my Top 5. I am just keeping it real

Not trolling when it’s the truth!  That’s keeping it real.  Keep feeding the recruits!  Keep paying for housing!  Keep cheating!  

Kept up with South Pitt for a while. They have gotten some transfers last few years no doubt about it but so has every other school in the Chattanooga area. How come your not on Bradley Countys threads calling them cheaters for Boo Carter going there?  Duane Morris to Oakland. I could list kids that switched schools in the tri state area and across the state all day long Troll. You are not trying to hear that though. Ultimately you’re jealous that your school doesn’t attract kids or families. I am just keeping it real. 

General Forrest Gump needs to be brought into this thread kinfolks. Everyone can ask him his thoughts. He is very knowledgeable about coaching. I am just keeping it real

Caine made a game of it. Just too many dudes for Pearl Cohn. PC has this game circled since last year. Glad to see them being one back. Big John is smiling somewhere this afternoon. I am just keeping it real

Body language, not even being engaged when the play isn't to you.  

Details matter for sure but ER has had kids not engaged all year. They def would never have their picture next to the word consistency. The best team won. I am just keeping it real

Congratulations riverside, as I said earlier Riverside by a score. ER will be hoisting that ball the next 2 years though.

They got to get through Smith, City & Marion again so don’t book the rooms just yet. They should be the favorites though with how many kids they return. I am just keeping it real.
